prāg-udīcyāṁ diśi hayaṁ dadṛśuḥ kapilāntike eṣa vāji-haraś caura āste mīlita-locanaḥ
さらに北東で、カピラ牟尼の近くに馬を見て彼らは言った。「こいつが馬を奪った盗人だ。目を閉じて座っている。罪人だ—殺せ、殺せ！」そう叫びつつ、サガラ王の六万の子らは武器を掲げて聖者に突進した。そのとき牟尼は眼を開かれた。
FAQs
It states that Sagara’s sons found the sacrificial horse in the northeastern direction near Kapila and mistakenly assumed Kapila was the thief.
Because they saw the horse placed near him and, without understanding who he was, concluded he had stolen it.
Avoid rash accusations based on appearances; verify facts and show humility, especially toward saintly or spiritually advanced persons.
