དེ་བཞིན་གཤེགས་པའི་བསྟན་པ་ལ་དད་པས་ཁྱིམ་ནས་ཁྱིམ་མེད་པར་རབ་ཏུ་འབྱུང་བའི་དུས་དང་ཚོད་དུ་གྱུར་ན། ཁྱོད་ནི་གཡེང་ཞིང་རྒོད་ཀྱིས་ཁྱོད་ངའི་སྦྱིན་པའི་བར་ཆད་མ་བྱེད་ཅིག་ཅེས་དེ་སྐད་སྨྲས་པ་དང་། དེས་གལ་ཏེ་ ཁྱོད་ལུས་ལས་ཤ་ཡུངས་ཀར་གྱི་འབྲུམ་བུ་ཙམ་དུ་བཅད་དེ ང་ལ་བྱིན་དུ་ཟིན་ཀྱང་ངས་ཁྱོད་ཀྱི་སྦྱིན་པའི་བར་ཆད་མི་བྱའོ། །
“ ‘Certainly not, young girl,’ he replied. ‘I will not promise that. Why? You are wanton and fickle. Young girl, I have to master the unsurpassed innumerable qualities of the buddhas throughout innumerable eons. To do that, I have to give gifts such as coins, jewels, pearls, gems, conches, crystal, coral, silver, and gold. I have to give up such things as elephants, horses, cattle, donkeys, sheep, and even my royal status. I have to give up my carriages. I have to give up my children and my wives. I have to give up my hands. I have to give up my bones, my marrow, and my skull. I have to give up my ears, my nose, my eyes, [MS.137.b] and my head. In short, young girl, there is no way for me to avoid giving up everything internal and everything external. Young girl, I would even have to give you up. The time has now come for me to follow my conviction and, relying on the teachings of the Tathāgata, leave the household life behind and become a renunciant. Please do not make it difficult, because of your inconsistent and unreliable nature, for me to make an offering.’
