Here he
reflected, there he lamented;
Here he
stumbled, there he fell;
And so
keeping on, suffering pain on account of attachment,
He did
without meaning to do many actions on the path.
The 6th canto, titled Chandaka /
Turning Back, in an epic tale of awakened action.
COMMENT:
Sometimes
he brooded, sometimes he wept.
(PO)
He
brooded and wept?
Or he
meditated and lamented all the suffering in the world?
Aśvagopa
or Aśvaghoṣa?
I think
I've stated my case fully enough already.
Too fully in fact. You be
the judge.
