化现为大臣珍宝的形象,如同统治四大部洲的转轮王的军队、侍从和享用全部幻化出来。当时使者来到里面,非常羞愧,但还是献上了书信。幻化之王用脚踩着那封信说:“我乃统治四大部洲的国王,那个愚蠢的国王为什么不听我的命令?你回去告诉他,我这样命令:现在如果七天之内不来此朝拜,就依法惩处!”说完之后,使者返回,详细叙述了所发生的一切。迦毗那国王非常害怕和后悔,但仍然心存侥幸,心想:“我是否应该和三万六千小国王一同前往?请指示我是否可以和他们的一半一同前往。” 回复说:“那就和一半的小国王一同前往吧。” 之后,迦毗那国王被一万八千小国王簇拥着,来到了舍卫城,在世尊示现转轮王之相的面前。之后,他行礼并坐下。心想:“这位国王的相貌比我更加殊胜,不知道力量如何?” 于是,(幻化之王)对大臣珍宝说:“你把金地的弓赐予他。”大臣珍宝便赐予了他。国王用手都无法举起,更无法拉开弓弦。之后,幻化之王拿起那把弓,仅仅是拉开弓弦,三千大千世界便发生震动。射出一支箭,箭尖化为五支箭,从箭尖发出无数光芒。每一道光芒的顶端都出现了一个莲花车轮般大小的莲花,每一朵莲花上都出现了一个带着各种珍宝的转轮王。那光芒使一切众生都安乐,等等,示现了无量的神变。之后,迦毗那国王和他的眷属全部都摧毁了傲慢,心中生起了极大的信心。于是,收起神变,真实地示现了佛陀的身体,被比丘僧团围绕在各个方向,并宣说了佛法,所有人都

He manifested in the form of the Minister Jewel, and like the army, attendants, and enjoyments of a Chakravartin King who rules the four continents, all were magically created. When the messenger came inside, he was very ashamed, but he still presented the letter. The magically created king stepped on the letter and said, "I am the king who rules the four continents. Why doesn't that foolish king listen to my command? You go back and tell him that I command this: Now, if he does not come here to pay homage within seven days, he will be punished according to the law!" After saying this, the messenger returned and described in detail what had happened. King Kapina was very frightened and regretted it, but he still had some hope, thinking, "Should I go with the thirty-six thousand petty kings? Please instruct me whether I can go with half of them." The reply came, "Then go with half of the petty kings." After that, King Kapina, surrounded by eighteen thousand petty kings, arrived in Shravasti, in the presence of the Blessed One who was displaying the form of a Chakravartin King. Then, he paid homage and sat down. He thought, "This king's appearance is much more superior to mine, I wonder what his power is like?" Then, (the magically created king) said to the Minister Jewel, "You give the golden earth bow to him." The Minister Jewel gave it to him. The king could not even lift it with his hands, let alone draw the string. Then, the magically created king took the bow in his hand, and just by drawing the string, the three thousand great thousand worlds shook. He shot an arrow, and the tip of the arrow turned into five arrows, and countless rays of light came out from the tips of the arrows. At the tip of each ray of light, there appeared a lotus as large as a chariot wheel, and on each lotus, there appeared a Chakravartin King with various jewels. That light brought happiness to all sentient beings, and so on, he showed immeasurable miracles. After that, King Kapina and all his retinue had their pride destroyed, and great faith arose in their hearts. Then, he withdrew the miracles and actually showed the body of the Buddha himself, surrounded in all directions by the Sangha of monks, and proclaimed the Dharma, and everyone

获得了入流果。迦毗那大国王出家并请求受比丘戒时,‘来’(梵文:ehī,梵文罗马拟音:ehi,汉语字面意思:来)便使他受了比丘戒,不久便现证了阿罗汉果。第三个故事是将施主歌者安置于真谛:又在 कौशाम्बी (梵文天城体,梵文罗马拟音:kauśāmbī,汉语字面意思:憍赏弥)国,有一个名叫财贤的施主,只能用脚行走,并努力工作。夏帕国王从他的声音中得知他拥有一百万金币,因此给他取名为歌者,并任命他为大臣。有一次,国王为了试探他的心,用惩罚来威胁他,但他没有从事不正当的行业,国王内心非常高兴,问他需要什么。他请求说:请允许我随意行善。国王也答应了。当时,从南方来了大约五百位仙人到中部地区。在路上,他们因为缺水而口渴,向一棵树请求水。一个右手戴着装饰品的人用金器盛水给他们喝饱,稍微走了一段路后,产生了疑问,于是返回来问:你因何业而生于此?他说:我曾是一个工匠,为乞丐们指点了无依施食之家。在那里,他们得到了许多食物和饮料。我随喜了他们的功德,因此转生为四大天王之列的天神。仙人们又来了,他们因饥渴所迫,向一棵树请求食物。从那棵树中发出了声音说:在这个方向有一个水池,水池边的树下有食物,去享用吧。他们按照指示找到了食物并吃喝,感到满足。他们又稍微返回,像之前一样询问。以前,我曾为无依施食之家搬运酸奶瓶子给僧团,并且为了获得美味的食物和饮料而受持斋戒,其他的戒律都能遵守,但因为别人强烈劝说而吃了非时食,没有守住斋戒。如果那个斋戒没有破损,本应转生到三十三天,但因为那个食物,而转生为四大天王之列的天神。在那里,仙人们商议说:我们即使安住于苦行,也不知道会得到什么果报。

He attained the state of Stream-enterer. When the great King Kapina renounced the world and requested ordination as a monk, 'Come' (Sanskrit: ehī, Romanized Sanskrit: ehi, literal Chinese meaning: come) ordained him, and before long, he manifested the fruit of an Arhat. The third story is about establishing the householder Gadhana in truth: Again, in the country of कौशाम्बी (Kauśāmbī), there was a householder named Norzang who could only walk with his feet and was diligent in his work. King Sharpa learned from the sound of his voice that he possessed a hundred thousand gold coins, so he named him Gadhana and appointed him as a minister. Once, the king threatened him with punishment to test his mind, but he did not engage in unrighteous deeds, so the king was very pleased and asked him what he needed. He requested: Please grant me permission to do good deeds as I please. The king agreed. At that time, about five hundred hermits came from the south to the central region. On the way, they were thirsty due to lack of water, and they asked a tree for water. One with a right hand adorned with ornaments gave them water from a golden vessel, and they drank their fill. After walking a short distance, they became curious and returned to ask: By what karma were you born here? He said: I was once a craftsman who showed the way to the house of the helpless food-givers to the beggars. There, they received much food and drink. I rejoiced in their merit, and therefore I was born as a deity in the realm of the Four Great Kings. The hermits came again, and they were afflicted by hunger and thirst, and they asked a tree for food. A voice came from the tree saying: In this direction, there is a pond. Under the tree by the pond, there is food, go and enjoy it. They found the food and ate and drank as instructed, and they were satisfied. They returned a little and asked as before. Previously, I had been diligent in carrying yogurt jars from the house of the helpless food-givers to the Sangha, and I took vows to obtain delicious food and drink. I could keep the other precepts, but because others strongly urged me to eat, I could not keep the vow of eating at the wrong time. If that vow had not been broken, I would have been born in the Thirty-three Heavens, but because of that food, I was born as a deity in the realm of the Four Great Kings. There, the hermits discussed: Even if we abide in asceticism, we do not know what the result will be.

Then, it is like that. One should go to the residence of the householder Anathapindika, from whom one receives the uposatha vows. Then they went in order, first going to the place of the householder Gadhyana, and after telling the previous history, Gadhyana was amazed and also reported to King Sharpa, and went to Shravasti together with those sages. Anathapindika also greeted them with respect and welcomed them, and spoke in detail about the previous events, wanting to receive the uposatha vows. Anathapindika asked: Do you receive the uposatha vows from me? Or do you receive them from the Bhagavan? He asked again: From whom did the householder himself receive them? He replied: From the Bhagavan. Then we will also receive them from the Bhagavan, saying this, the householder Anathapindika led them to the presence of the Bhagavan. The Teacher also taught them the Dharma, and Gadhyana obtained the stream-entry fruit, and the five hundred sages were fully ordained by "Come hither", and soon after obtained the Arhatship. The fourth story is about subduing the people of the city of कौशाम्बी (Kauśāmbī). After that, Gadhyana requested the Bhagavan to go to the country of कौशाम्बी (Kauśāmbī), promising to serve him for as long as he lived. The Bhagavan asked: Is there a monastery there? etc., similar to the case of Anathapindika. He sent the venerable Kulajiva Gadhyana together with him and went. Then, in a place with the characteristics of a place like Jeta Grove, a monastery was also built similar to it. On the road to invite the Bhagavan, arranging offerings etc., mostly similar to the case of Anathapindika. The Bhagavan and the Sangha were invited, and that monastery was also offered, and after making offerings with many offerings, he returned to his own home. There, the noble Kula-karman said: He taught the seven merits arising from wealth, namely offering a park to the Sangha of the four directions, (《ཛཾ》+) 1 building a monastery there, 2 offering lodging, 3 offering suitable equipment, 4 giving alms to those who come suddenly and prepare to leave, 5 giving alms to the sick and those who care for the sick, 6 giving alms in bad areas and when it rains. 7 Born of wealth

七种不是微小的福德之大根源是:听闻如来或者如来的声闻弟子住在如此这般的地方而生欢喜1,听闻正要前来的消息而生欢喜2,听闻正在路上而生欢喜3,听闻到达那个城镇而生欢喜4,见到尊容而生欢喜5,听闻佛法而生欢喜6,以皈依或受学处而生欢喜。(《ཛཾ》+) 当时,具光者虽然具有圆满的信心,但是他的眷属们大多不信仰三宝。名为悦意女的婢女唯独对佛有信心,向导师献上布匹并发愿,并且也接受了那位家主供养僧众的布施方式。听从家主的话语,将所需的一切物品供养僧众,因此悦意女被任命为家里的女主人。 此外,以前手工业者游牧者去世后,青莲花女返回憍赏弥(Kauśāmbī,今印度北方邦的 Kosam),夏帕国王(King Sharpa)娶她为妃,赐予五百名侍女,每天一千帕那(Paṇa)的用品,以及名为鲜花之屋的豪宅。 之后过了很久,那时世尊将憍赏弥地区的许多婆罗门和家主安置于四果,并且使大多数人安住于殊胜的信心。国王等人也再次进行供养,青莲花女有一个名叫曲身的侍女,一个与她相识且熟悉的香贩之子,是一位虔诚的信徒,邀请了导师和僧众,曲身也去了,并且帮忙分发伞和食物。因为听闻佛法,曲身获得了预流果。 以前她偷盗了德巴那的财物,从那以后,她没有偷盗而是拿走并交给青莲花女。当被问及为何有这么多财物时,她告知获得了预流果,所以今天没有偷盗。 “那么你每天都去佛那里听法,然后告诉我。” 在那里,青莲花女坐在狮子座上,其他人也坐在垫子上,曲身站在队伍的最后面说法。 像这样过了很多次之后,曲身去佛那里听法,佛陀开示说:“从今以后,就这样……”

The seven great sources of merit that are not small are: Rejoicing upon hearing that the Tathagata or the Shravaka disciple of the Tathagata is residing in such and such a place 1, rejoicing upon hearing the news that they are about to come 2, rejoicing upon hearing that they are on the way 3, rejoicing upon hearing that they have arrived in that town 4, rejoicing upon seeing their face 5, rejoicing upon hearing the Dharma 6, and rejoicing by taking refuge or receiving precepts. ((ཛཾ)+) At that time, although the Radiant One had complete faith, most of his retinue did not believe in the Three Jewels. The servant girl named Delightful Woman alone had faith in the Buddha, and offered cloth to the Teacher and made aspirations, and also accepted the way of offering alms to the Sangha by that householder. Listening to the words of the householder, she offered all the necessary items to the Sangha, so the servant girl Delightful Woman was appointed as the mistress of the house. Furthermore, formerly, after the craftsman nomad died, Green Lotus Woman returned to Kaushambi (Kauśāmbī, modern-day Kosam in Uttar Pradesh, India), King Sharpa took her as his queen, and gave her five hundred maids, daily supplies of a thousand paṇas, and a mansion called the House of Flowers. After a long time had passed, the Blessed One established many Brahmins and householders of the Kaushambi region in the four fruits, and placed most people in supreme faith. When the king and others were also making offerings again, Green Lotus Woman had a servant girl named Crooked Body, and a faithful son of a perfumer who was acquainted with her invited the Teacher and the Sangha, and Crooked Body also went, and helped distribute umbrellas and food. By listening to the Dharma, Crooked Body attained the stream-entry fruit. Previously, she had stolen the wealth of Depana, but from then on, she did not steal but took it and gave it to Green Lotus Woman. When asked why she had so much wealth, she informed her that she had attained the stream-entry fruit, so she did not steal today. "Then you go to the Buddha every day to listen to the Dharma, and then tell me." There, Green Lotus Woman sat on a lion throne, and the others also sat on cushions, with Crooked Body standing at the end of the line teaching the Dharma. After this had happened many times, Crooked Body came to the Buddha to listen to the Dharma, and the Buddha instructed, "From now on, do this..."
