I was not angry with the sons of Bhoja, such is my Perfection of Goodness,
he, offering up himself, acquired the Supreme Perfection, called the Perfection of Goodness.
In like manner there is no limit to existences—as, for instance, in the times when he was the prince Somanassa, and the prince Hatthipāla, and the wise man Ayoghara—in which, forsaking his kingdom, he fulfilled the Perfection of Renunciation. So, certainly, in the Cūla-Sutasoma Birth, according to the words,
261. The kingdom, which was in my power, like spittle I rejected it,
And, rejecting, cared not for it, such is my Perfection of Renunciation,
he, renouncing the kingdom for freedom from the ties of sin,[170] acquired the Supreme Perfection, called the Perfection of Renunciation.
In like manner, there is no limit to the existences—as, for instance, in the times when he was the wise man Vidhūra, and the wise man Mahā-govinda, and the wise man Kuddāla, and the wise man Araka, and the ascetic Bodhi, and the wise man Mahosadha—in which he fulfilled the Perfection of Wisdom. So, certainly, in the time when he was the wise man Senaka in the Sattubhatta Birth, according to the words,
262. Searching the matter out by wisdom, I set the brahman free from pain,
There is no one like me in wisdom; such is my Perfection of Wisdom,
he, pointing out the snake which had got into the bellows, acquired the Supreme Perfection called the Perfection of Wisdom.
