The King of Kosala
एकं समयं भगवा सावत्थियं विहरति जेतवने अनाथपिण्डिकस्स आरामे। अथ खो राजा पसेनदि कोसलो येन भगवा तेनुपसङ्कमि; उपसङ्कमित्वा भगवन्तं अभिवादेत्वा एकमन्तं निसीदि।
Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. Atha kho rājā pasenadi kosalo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi.
At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. Then King Pasenadi of Kosala went up to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side.
तेन खो पन समयेन मल्लिका देवी कालङ्कता होति। अथ खो अञ्ञतरो पुरिसो येन राजा पसेनदि कोसलो तेनुपसङ्कमि; उपसङ्कमित्वा रञ्ञो पसेनदिस्स कोसलस्स उपकण्णके आरोचेति: “मल्लिका देवी, देव, कालङ्कता”ति।
Tena kho pana samayena mallikā devī kālaṅkatā hoti. Atha kho aññataro puriso yena rājā pasenadi kosalo tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā rañño pasenadissa kosalassa upakaṇṇake āroceti: “mallikā devī, deva, kālaṅkatā”ti.
Then a man went up to the king and whispered in his ear, “Your Majesty, Queen Mallikā has passed away.”
एवं वुत्ते, राजा पसेनदि कोसलो दुक्खी दुम्मनो पत्तक्खन्धो अधोमुखो पज्झायन्तो अप्पटिभानो निसीदि।
Evaṁ vutte, rājā pasenadi kosalo dukkhī dummano pattakkhandho adhomukho pajjhāyanto appaṭibhāno nisīdi.
When this was said, King Pasenadi was miserable and sad. He sat with his shoulders drooping, downcast, depressed, with nothing to say.
अथ खो भगवा राजानं पसेनदिं कोसलं दुक्खिं दुम्मनं पत्तक्खन्धं अधोमुखं पज्झायन्तं अप्पटिभानं विदित्वा राजानं पसेनदिं कोसलं एतदवोच: “पञ्चिमानि, महाराज, अलब्भनीयानि ठानानि समणेन वा ब्राह्मणेन वा देवेन वा मारेन वा ब्रह्मुना वा केनचि वा लोकस्मिं। कतमानि पञ्च? ‘जराधम्मं मा जीरीऽति अलब्भनीयं ठानं …पे… न सोचनाय परिदेवनाय …पे… कम्मं दळ्हं किन्ति करोमि दानी”ति।
Atha kho bhagavā rājānaṁ pasenadiṁ kosalaṁ dukkhiṁ dummanaṁ pattakkhandhaṁ adhomukhaṁ pajjhāyantaṁ appaṭibhānaṁ viditvā rājānaṁ pasenadiṁ kosalaṁ etadavoca: “pañcimāni, mahārāja, alabbhanīyāni ṭhānāni samaṇena vā brāhmaṇena vā devena vā mārena vā brahmunā vā kenaci vā lokasmiṁ. Katamāni pañca? ‘Jarādhammaṁ mā jīrī’ti alabbhanīyaṁ ṭhānaṁ …pe… na socanāya paridevanāya …pe… kammaṁ daḷhaṁ kinti karomi dānī”ti.
Knowing this, the Buddha said to him, “Great king, there are five things that cannot be had by any ascetic or brahmin or god or Māra or Brahmā or by anyone in the world. What five? That someone liable to old age should not grow old. … Sorrowing and lamenting doesn’t do even a little bit of good … ‘The karma is strong. What can I do now?’”
