又隐藏起自己的姿态,用其他话语来引诱妃嫔等眷属。之后第七个时期,心想仅仅这样苦行也不行啊,于是食用名为“极其难吃的食物”,也就是不喝母牛乳犊的尿液和粪便做成的小丸子,而且要等食物的效力消失后才食用下一个。稍微休息的时候,就去往墓地,把尸体当做枕头。那时,身体比以前更加消瘦,身体也变得像没有水分一样。城市的青年男女和牧童们前来,把棉花、鲜花和丸子塞进他的耳朵里,然后用木棍从鼻孔里捅出来。或者从鼻孔里塞进去,从耳朵里捅出来,这样来回折腾。有些人还说:“喂,看看那乱葬岗里的食肉者。”用土块和瓦片扔向他,但他既不听也不看。然而,不灰心等等,和前面一样地安住。第二十二,解除苦行:就这样苦行的时间过了六年,心想现在所有想要摆脱痛苦的人都只能做到这样了,但这也不能触及知识、见解和菩提。我以前在农夫的村庄里修习禅定,如果依靠那种禅定就能成就菩提,现在因为身体消瘦虚弱,也无法生起那种禅定,必须让身体恢复光泽和力量,于是舒适地呼吸,也食用粗糙的米饭等食物,用芝麻油涂抹身体,用温水洗浴。这时,那五个侍者失去了信心,说道:贤者们,这位乔达摩苦行者已经从苦行中衰退了,现在他一点也得不到成就了。于是抛弃了菩萨,前往瓦拉纳西,被称为五比丘。之后,菩萨逐渐恢复了身体的力量,前往斯德迦那的村庄。在那里,那个地方的首领名叫斯德迦那,他有两个女儿,名叫嘉玛和嘉斯德玛。她们两个像珍宝般的女子一样完美,她们认为菩萨将会转轮王。

Again, he hid his demeanor and used other words to entice the consorts and their retinues. Then, in the seventh period, he thought that this much asceticism was not enough, so he ate what was called "extremely bad food," which was small pills made from the urine and feces of calves that did not drink their mother's milk, and he did not eat the next one until the effect of the food had disappeared. When he rested a little, he went to the cemetery and used a corpse as a pillow. At that time, his body was even thinner than before, and his body became as if it had no moisture. The young men and women of the city and the shepherds came and put cotton, flowers, and pills in his ears, and then poked them out of his nostrils with sticks. Or they put them in his nostrils and poked them out of his ears, and so on, back and forth. Some people also said, "Hey, look at the flesh-eater in the charnel ground." They threw clods of earth and tiles at him, but he neither heard nor saw. However, he remained without discouragement, etc., as before. Twenty-second, the end of asceticism: After six years had passed in this way of practicing asceticism, he thought, "Now, all those who want to get rid of suffering can only do this much, but this cannot touch knowledge, vision, and enlightenment. If I could achieve enlightenment by relying on the meditation I practiced in the village of the farmers before, I cannot generate that meditation now because my body is thin and weak. I must restore the radiance and strength of my body." So he breathed comfortably, and also ate coarse food such as rice, anointed his body with sesame oil, and bathed with warm water. At that time, the five attendants lost faith and said, "Wise ones, this Gautama the ascetic has declined from asceticism, and now he will not be able to achieve anything at all." So they abandoned the Bodhisattva and went to Varanasi, and were called the Five Bhikkhus. After that, the Bodhisattva gradually regained the strength of his body and went to the village of Sde-can. There, the leader of that place, named Sde-can, had two daughters named Ga'ma and Ga's-stobs-ma. The two of them were as perfect as jewel-like women, and they thought that the Bodhisattva would become a Chakravartin.

萨。没有听说过出家的事情,只是听说哪些女子如果持守某种戒律和苦行十二年,圆满后调制最好的乳粥,献给因苦行而疲惫的仙人,就能成为他的妃子。她们听后,便开始修持苦行,到那时十二年也圆满了。于是挤了一千头最好的母牛的奶,装在那一千头空牛的肚子里。挤完那些奶后,又装入五百头牛的肚子里。又是装入那五百头牛的肚子里。同样地,二百五十头,五头,六十三头,三十二头,十六头和八头,这样将十六份精华提炼出来的牛奶,在玻璃器皿中熬煮的时候,净居天的天人们投入了名为“加持经文威力”的药物。熬煮的牛奶中出现了法轮、吉祥、卍字符等多种吉祥的形状。一个名叫“常养”的人想要拿走,但没有给。之后第二天早上,从玻璃器皿中倒入金碗里。当时,帝释天化身为婆罗门前来,梵天和一位净居天的天人也来了。两位女子开始将乳粥献给化身为婆罗门的帝释天时,帝释天说:是要供养我吗?还是供养比我更殊胜的?那两位女子说:供养最殊胜的。帝释天说:那么献给大梵天吧。当要献给梵天时,梵天也说了和之前一样的话。当要献给净居天的天人时,那位天人也像之前那样说:献给菩萨吧。之后她们两人前往菩萨那里。之后,菩萨在尼连禅河中沐浴,因为身体虚弱,无法站立。河边有一棵阿 Arjuna 树,天人们压低了树枝,菩萨用手抓住树枝站起来,穿上法衣,坐在河边。在那里,那两位女子献上乳粥,菩萨接受了,并说道:这个金碗也是要布施的吗?回答说:是的,要布施的。菩萨喝完乳粥后,清洗了金碗,扔进河里,被龙族取走了。在那里,帝释天金翅鸟

Sa. It was not heard of becoming a renunciate, but it was heard that whichever women observe certain precepts and ascetic practices for twelve years, and upon completion, prepare the finest milk porridge and offer it to a sage exhausted by asceticism, they will become his consorts. Having heard this, they undertook ascetic practices, and at that time, twelve years were also completed. So they milked a thousand of the best cows and poured the milk into those thousand empty cows. After milking those, they poured it into five hundred cows. Again, it was poured into those same five hundred cows. Similarly, two hundred and fifty, five, sixty-three, thirty-two, sixteen, and eight, thus the milk extracted sixteen times as essence was boiled in glass vessels. At that time, the gods of the Pure Abode cast medicine called "enhancing the power of the sutras" into the sutra. In the boiled milk, many auspicious shapes such as wheels, auspicious signs, and swastikas appeared. One named "Always Nourishing" wanted to take it, but it was not given. Then the next morning, it was poured from the glass vessel into a golden bowl. At that time, Indra, having transformed into the guise of a Brahmin, came, and Brahma and a god of the Pure Abode also came. When the two girls began to offer the milk porridge to Indra in the form of a Brahmin, he said: Is it to be offered to me? Or to one who is more supreme than me? The two girls said: It is offered to the most supreme. Indra said: Then offer it to the Great Brahma. When they were about to offer it to Brahma, he also said the same as before. When they were about to offer it to the god of the Pure Abode, that god also said as before: Offer it to the Bodhisattva. Then the two of them went to the Bodhisattva. Then, the Bodhisattva bathed in the Nairanjana River, and because his body was weak, he could not stand up. There was an Arjuna tree by the riverbank, and the gods pressed down the branches, and the Bodhisattva grasped the branches with his hand, stood up, put on his Dharma robes, and sat by the riverbank. There, the two of them offered the milk porridge, and the Bodhisattva accepted it, and said: Is this golden bowl also to be given away? They replied: Yes, it is to be given away. After the Bodhisattva drank the milk porridge, he washed the golden bowl and threw it into the river, and the nagas took it. There, Indra Garuda

化现为鸟的形象,从龙那里夺取了轭木,在三十三天建立了盛大的供养。之后降旨说:以此布施所为何求?两个女儿禀告说:为了释迦童子转轮圣王之家的缘故。降旨说:他已经舍弃欲望而出家了。禀告说:那么愿他所希望的一切都得以成就。就这样仅仅是享用了那上等的乳粥,身体就恢复了光彩和力量,金色等也恢复如初。第二十三,前往菩提树下:之后,当他安住在以鲜花和果实装饰的岩山上时,那座山立刻崩塌了。诸天祈请说:完全修习圆满的善根,其他地方无法承载,在这附近这样的方向,有金刚座,现在请前往那里。之后,如诸天所示之路行走时,每当他放下脚步的地方,都生出了莲花。四大海的水流出,变成了莲花池。之后又行走,从放下脚步开始,这位伟人敲击手杖的声音,就像用手杖敲击容器一样发出声响。鸟雀和野兽也围绕着菩萨。诸天也降下淅淅沥沥的小雨,并降下柔和的冰雹。河流是燃匝纳河,龙王名叫时节者,他在其他所有时间里都是瞎子,但在世间出现佛陀时,他会获得眼睛,从而也能看到以前的佛陀,如坏劫等。当时,他用眼睛看到了,也听到了大地发出声响,于是从自己的住所出来,出现在地面上,仅仅是从遥远的地方看到世尊,就确信他一定会成佛,于是他说:我以前曾经见到过,那些具有大神力的佛陀们,和如今见到的您,他们之间没有任何差别。像这样广泛地赞颂。之后又行走,遇到了天帝的化身,卖草人吉祥,菩萨向他要了从香山取来的柔软且触感舒适的一捆草。

Transforming into the form of a bird, he snatched the yoke from the dragons and established a grand offering in the Thirty-Three Heavens. Then he decreed: "What do you seek by this offering?" The two daughters reported: "For the sake of the family of Shakya youth who will become a Chakravartin king." He decreed: "He has already renounced desire and become a renunciate." They reported: "Then may all that he wishes be accomplished." Thus, merely by partaking of that supreme milk porridge, his body regained its radiance and strength, and his golden color and other qualities were restored to their original state. Twenty-third, going to the Bodhi Tree: Then, as he was dwelling on a rocky mountain adorned with flowers and fruits, that mountain immediately collapsed. The gods entreated: "The roots of virtue, having been fully cultivated and perfected, cannot be held by another place. Near here, in such a direction, there is a Vajra Throne, now please proceed there." Then, as he proceeded as the gods had shown the way, lotuses appeared wherever he placed his feet. Water flowed from the four great oceans and turned into lotus ponds. Then he walked again, and from the placing of his feet, this great being made a sound like striking a vessel with a staff. Birds and wild animals also circumambulated the Bodhisattva. The gods also caused a drizzling rain to fall and sent down gentle hailstones. The river was the Ranjana River, and the Naga king named Timely One, who was blind at all other times, but when a Buddha appeared in the world, he would gain his eyes and thus also see the previous Buddhas, such as those of the Destruction Aeon and so on. At that time, he gained sight with his eyes and also heard the great earth resounding, and having emerged from his abode, he appeared on the surface of the earth, and seeing the Bhagavan from afar, he knew for certain that he would become a Buddha, and so he said: "I have seen before, those Buddhas with great power, and having seen you, O Sage, there is no difference between them." Like this, he praised extensively. Then he walked again, and met the incarnation of the king of the gods, the grass seller Auspicious, and the Bodhisattva asked him for a bundle of soft and comfortable grass taken from Fragrant Mountain.

当他被唤起时,他也恭敬地献上了供品。然后,他前往菩提树的心脏地带,登上金刚座。在那棵阿输多树,菩提树下,他将那捆草随意地扔在那里,草便没有厚薄之分地向右盘旋着。从这些预兆来看,他心想,现在我一定会毫无疑问地证悟无上智慧。于是他结跏趺坐,身躯正直,忆念现前,安住其中。他发誓说:在没有获得无上菩提之前,我绝不解开跏趺坐。第二十四,降伏魔众:那魔王恶魔有两面旗帜,即欢喜之处和疑虑之处。此时,疑虑的旗帜摇动了。魔王观察到菩萨坐在金刚座上,为了制造障碍,便幻化出一个头发蓬乱,下身穿着兽皮衣服的使者,用急促的声音说:释迦城已被提婆达多压制,宫殿已被摧毁,释迦族人已被征服,你为何在此安住?这时,他的心中生起了对欲望的贪求、害人之心和种种恼害,即三种不善的分别念。他知道这是魔的扰乱,便用三种善的分别念将其压制。然后,魔王亲自来了,说:你何时才能获得无上智慧?世尊回答说:恶人,你仅仅做了一次供养就成了欲界的主宰,而我却在无数劫中做了无数百千万亿的供养。为了众生,我从头和手,到财富和黄金等一切都完全施舍了,难道不能获得无上智慧吗?魔王说:暂且算我那样做了,我的证人就是你,而你的证人是谁呢?然后,菩萨伸出右手,那是积累了无数福德的手,触碰着大地,说:我的证人就是这大地。然后,地神从地里涌出,合掌说道:世尊所说的一切都是真实的。说完,那恶魔

When it was invoked, he also offered it with reverence. Then, he went to the heart of Bodhi and ascended the Vajra Throne. Under that Ashvattha tree, the Bodhi tree, he threw the bundle of grass there as a seat, and the grass coiled to the right without any difference in thickness. From these omens, he thought, now I will surely realize the unsurpassed wisdom without a doubt. So he sat in the lotus position, straightened his body, kept mindfulness present, and remained there. He vowed: Until I attain the unsurpassed Bodhi, I will not break this lotus position. Twenty-fourth, Subduing the Maras: That evil Mara has two banners, namely the place of joy and the place of doubt. At this time, the banner of doubt was shaken. The Mara observed that the Bodhisattva was sitting on the Vajra Throne, and in order to create obstacles, he conjured up a messenger with disheveled hair and wearing animal skin clothes on his lower body, and said in a hurried voice: The city of Shakya has been suppressed by Devadatta, the palace has been destroyed, the Shakyas have been conquered, why are you staying here? At that time, greed for desire, the intention to harm, and various kinds of annoyance, namely three unwholesome thoughts, arose in his mind. He knew that this was the disturbance of Mara, and suppressed it with three wholesome thoughts. Then, Mara himself came and said: When will you attain the unsurpassed wisdom? The Blessed One replied: Evil one, you have become the master of the desire realm by making only one offering, but I have made countless billions of offerings in countless eons. For the sake of sentient beings, I have completely given away everything from my head and hands to wealth and gold, etc. Can I not attain the unsurpassed wisdom? Mara said: For the time being, let's say I did that, my witness is you, but who is your witness for that? Then, the Bodhisattva extended his right hand, which was accumulated with countless merits, and touched the earth, saying: This earth is my witness. Then, the earth goddess emerged from the earth, joined her palms and said: Everything that the Blessed One has said is true. After saying that, the evil Mara
