即《诗》十万多颂,以及名为《罗摩衍那》的十万颂,还有《阿什塔达夏普拉那》,即《古代十八史诗》,也有十万多颂,以及诗学论著《罗睺 वंश》等八万颂。此处将讲述导师对教法所作事业的历史。当导师圆满正等觉佛陀进行第一次结集时,诸神赞叹,人间一切安乐丰收,天人安乐。国王名见义善,又名未生怨,也自然增长福德,除了舍卫城,其余五大城市皆不战而归顺。如来及二胜弟子,与一十六万八千阿罗汉一同入寂。大迦叶也涅槃之时,众人皆甚悲伤,因僧众得见导师之面容。众人心想,佛陀住世之时,我等放逸,未得殊胜成就,故生厌离心,一心精进修法。如是圣者学人亦然。新出家未见导师面容者,则想我等未见导师之面容,故直接教诫者衰弱,若不精进修法,则将极度漂泊,故对善法极为精进。因此,获得四果者日益增多。时时圣者阿难为四众弟子传授口诀。持律者则宣讲佛法,一切出家众皆谨慎度日。导师将教法托付于大迦叶,大迦叶又将教法托付于圣者阿难,此事亦具意义。国王等一切在家众,也因未能亲见福德威力不可思议之诸国王而生厌离心,昔日殊胜之田地导师亦未

That is, the Śloka with more than one hundred thousand verses, and the Rāmāyaṇa, which has one hundred thousand verses, and the Aṣṭādaśa Purāṇa, that is, the Eighteen Ancient Epics, which also has more than one hundred thousand verses, and the poetic treatise Rāghuvaṃśa, which has eighty thousand verses, and so on. Here, the history of the deeds done by the Teacher for the doctrine will be told. When the Teacher, the perfectly complete Buddha, performed the first council, the gods praised him, and all the human world became happy and prosperous, and the gods and humans lived in happiness. The king named Mthong-ldan Dge-ba, also known as Ma-skyes-dgra, also naturally increased his merit, and except for Śrāvastī, all five major cities surrendered without fighting. The Tathāgata and the two supreme disciples, along with one hundred and sixty-eight thousand Arhats, passed into complete peace. When the great Kāśyapa also passed away, all beings became very sad, because the Sangha had seen the face of the Teacher. The people thought, 'When the Buddha was alive, we were negligent and did not attain special achievements,' so they developed a sense of renunciation and diligently practiced the Dharma with one mind. Similarly, the noble learners were also like that. The newly ordained monks who had not seen the face of the Teacher thought, 'Since we have not seen the face of the Teacher, the one who directly instructs us is weak. If we do not diligently practice the Dharma, we will wander greatly,' so they were extremely diligent in virtuous practices. Therefore, those who attained the four fruits increased more and more every day. From time to time, the noble Ānanda would bestow the oral instructions on the fourfold assembly. Those who held the Vinaya would preach the Dharma, and all the ordained ones would live diligently. The Teacher entrusted the doctrine to the great Kāśyapa, and Kāśyapa entrusted the doctrine to the noble Ānanda, and this also had meaning. All the lay people, including the king, also developed a sense of renunciation because they had not personally seen those kings whose power of merit was inconceivable, and the Teacher, who was the excellent field in the past, also did not...

后来,现在看到的是他的弟子和再传弟子们的集会,他们对佛、法、僧三宝怀有珍贵的观念,总是恭敬地供养,并努力行善,没有争斗等事。据说,他们以这样的方式在世间行善了大约四十年。此后,圣者阿难陀守护教法约十五年后,金色童子获得了阿罗汉果位,他的传记在《金色童子传》中有详细记载。当时,像金色童子一样的快乐者也能毫不费力地被安置在阿罗汉的果位上,国王阿阇世认为圣者阿难陀是与佛陀一样的声闻,于是对圣者阿难陀等五千阿罗汉进行了长达五年的、提供一切所需物品的供养。当时,从南方金弥梨城的名为花鬘的地方,来了一位精通幻术咒语的婆罗门,名叫婆罗堕遮,与有损害者同族,他来到摩揭陀国,与比丘们比赛神通。在国王等所有民众聚集的面前,他幻化出金、银、水晶和琉璃四座山,每座山各有四个珍宝花园,每个花园里有四个莲花池,池中充满了各种飞禽。圣者阿难陀则幻化出许多凶猛难驯的大象,吃掉了莲花,搅浑了池水,刮起强风吹断了树木,降下金刚雨摧毁了围墙和山脉,使其荡然无存。之后,圣者阿难陀示现了约五百种身体变化,有的放出光明,有的降下雨水,有的在空中行走四种姿势,有的上半身燃烧火焰,下半身涌出水流等等,示现了许多双运的神通后又收了回去。婆罗堕遮及其同族等所有民众都变得非常虔诚,圣者为他们宣讲了许多佛法,于是在七天之内,婆罗堕遮等五百婆罗门以及其他八万民众都被安置于真谛之中。之后,在另一个时期,圣者阿难陀

Later, what is seen now is just an assembly of his disciples and their disciples, who hold the precious concept of the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, always respectfully making offerings and diligently engaging in virtuous deeds, without any strife or the like. It is said that they remained in the world engaging in virtuous deeds in such a manner for about forty years. After that, the venerable Ānanda protected the teachings for about fifteen years, and then the golden-colored boy attained the state of an arhat. His biography is clearly recorded in the "Tale of the Golden-Colored One." At that time, since even a fortunate one like the golden-colored boy could be effortlessly placed in the state of an arhat, King Ajātasattu thought that the venerable Ānanda was a śrāvaka like the Buddha, and for five years he made offerings of all necessities to the venerable Ānanda and five thousand other arhats. At that time, from a place called Kimilā's Garland in the southern city, a Brahmin named Bharadvaja, who was of the same lineage as the Harmful One and was extremely skilled in the mantras of illusion, came to Magadha and competed in miracles with the monks. In front of the king and all the assembled people, he conjured up four mountains of gold, silver, crystal, and lapis lazuli. Each of these had four jewel gardens, and each garden had four lotus ponds filled with various kinds of birds. Then, the venerable Ānanda conjured up many fierce and unbearable elephants, which ate the lotuses, stirred up the ponds, sent forth strong winds that broke the trees, and rained down vajras that destroyed the fences and mountains without leaving any remains. Then, the venerable Ānanda displayed about five hundred emanations of his body. Some emitted light, some rained down showers, some performed the four modes of conduct in the sky, some burned with fire from the upper part of their bodies and gushed with water from the lower part, and so on, displaying many twin miracles and then withdrawing them. Bharadvaja, of the same lineage as the Harmful One, and all the assembled people became very devoted, and he taught them much Dharma, so that within seven days, Bharadvaja and five hundred other Brahmins, as well as eight hundred thousand other people, were established in the truth. Then, at another time, the venerable Ānanda

当(佛陀)住在胜利园林时,户主夏纳衣者为僧众做了五年的盛大节日。最终,通过圣者的教令而出家。逐渐地,他成为持有三藏者,并且从阿罗汉的两种部分中完全解脱。像这样,先后逐渐地安置了约一万比丘于阿罗汉的果位。为了让广阔地方的离车毗人和摩揭陀国的国王阿阇世,这两者都能获得舍利的份额,(佛陀)驻留在两国之间的恒河中央。五百仙人请求受具足戒,于是在水中化现岛屿。在那里,比丘们也聚集,以神通力在一个时辰之内,五百人依次受具足戒并被安置于阿罗汉果位,因此被称为中午五百人和水中五百人。他们的首领被称为大中午人和大水中人。之后,在那里示现涅槃,遗体以自生之火荼毗,变成如同珍宝丸般的两部分,被水波冲刷到两岸。北岸的被弃舍者带走,南岸的被阿阇世带走,各自在自己的地方建造了佛塔。像这样,阿难陀尊者弘扬佛法四十年。其后一年,阿阇世国王也去世了,短暂地堕入地狱,从那里死亡并转生为天神。据说,他因听闻圣者夏纳衣者的教法而获得了入流果。这是关于阿阇世国王时期的故事,第一则。之后,阿阇世国王的儿子善手继承了王位。大约十七年间供养佛法。那时,圣者夏纳衣者也稍微护持佛法,主要由圣者中午人在瓦拉纳西居住,为四众弟子传授经文,为婆罗门和户主们宣讲佛法。在另一个时期,瓦拉纳西的许多婆罗门和户主对许多乞讨的比丘感到厌烦,对比丘们说,好像没有其他地方可以乞讨食物了一样,并且说了很多坏话,并从瓦拉纳西离开。

When (the Buddha) was residing in the Grove of Victory, the householder Shana-clad made a grand festival for the Sangha for five years. Eventually, he took ordination by the decree of the Noble One. Gradually, he became a holder of the Three Baskets and was completely liberated from both aspects of an Arhat. In this way, gradually, about ten thousand monks were placed in the state of Arhatship. In order for both the Licchavis of the vast land and King Ajatashatru of Magadha to obtain a share of the relics, (the Buddha) stayed in the middle of the Ganges River between the two countries. When five hundred sages requested full ordination, an island manifested in the middle of the water. There, the monks also gathered, and through miraculous powers, within a single hour, the five hundred sequentially received full ordination and were placed in the state of Arhatship, hence they were known as the Five Hundred at Noon and the Five Hundred in the Water. Their leaders were known as the Great Noon Person and the Great Water Person. Then, he passed away there, and his body was cremated in a self-generated fire, turning into two parts like precious jewels, which were swept by the waves to both shores. The northern shore was taken by the renouncers, and the southern shore was taken by Ajatashatru, and they built stupas in their respective lands. In this way, Venerable Ananda propagated the teachings for forty years. The following year, King Ajatashatru also passed away, briefly falling into hell, and after dying from there, he was reborn as a god. It is said that he attained the stream-enterer fruit by listening to the Dharma from the Noble Shana-clad. This is the first story about the time of King Ajatashatru. Then, King Ajatashatru's son, Good Hand, ruled the kingdom. For about seventeen years, he honored the Buddha's teachings. At that time, the Noble Shana-clad also slightly upheld the teachings, but mainly the Noble Noon Person resided in Varanasi, bestowing prophecies upon the four assemblies, and teaching the Dharma to Brahmins and householders. At another time, many Brahmins and householders of Varanasi became annoyed with the many begging monks, saying to the monks, as if there were no other place to beg for food, and spoke many bad words, and left Varanasi.

说没有一点可以给的,如果我们必须养活你们,你们却一点也不给我们,说完之后,圣者尼玛贡巴阿罗汉被一万个眷属围绕着,从天空的道路上飞走,去了北方乌希拉山。在那里,名叫阿扎的施主,聚集了四方的所有僧众,举行了一年的节日供养,聚集了四万四千阿罗汉。由于这个缘起,北方地区的佛法更加兴盛。就这样,尼玛贡巴在乌希拉山传法三年。那时,舍卫城住着圣者夏纳的衣服,为四众弟子传法,出现了近一千名阿罗汉。以前在阿阇世王在位的时候,有两个婆罗门种姓的人,不符合佛法,非常恶毒和残暴,吃的食物也不干净,杀害各种各样的生命,名叫帕纳和纳瓦。这两人因为在一些人家里偷窃而被国王判刑,他们非常生气,向许多阿罗汉供养了毒食,并发愿说:以此善根,愿我变成夜叉,摧毁国王和摩揭陀国的人们。有一次,这两人得了瘟疫死了,转生成了夜叉。当拉桑国王执政七八年的时候,这两人在摩揭陀国获得了夜叉的地位,在该地区传播了严重的瘟疫。那里死了很多人和牲畜,瘟疫无法停止,占卜者们知道后,摩揭陀国的人们从舍卫城请来了圣者夏纳的衣服,祈求降伏那两个夜叉。他也去了那两人居住的古尔巴山,住在夜叉的洞穴里。当时,那两个夜叉去了其他夜叉的面前,被另一个夜叉朋友嘲笑,回来后非常生气,洞穴的岩石都裂开了,又出现了一个洞穴,圣者夏纳的衣服就在那里。就这样。

Saying that there was nothing to give, and that if we had to feed you, you wouldn't give us even a little bit, the noble Nyimagungpa Arhat, surrounded by ten thousand attendants, flew away on the path of the sky and went to Mount Ushira in the north. There, a householder named Aja gathered all the Sangha from the four directions and made a festival offering for one year, gathering forty-four thousand Arhats. Due to this cause, the Dharma in the northern region became even more prosperous. Thus, Nyimagungpa taught the Dharma in Ushira for three years. At that time, the noble Shana's robes were residing in Shravasti, teaching the Dharma to the fourfold assembly, and nearly a thousand Arhats appeared. Previously, when King Ajatashatru was in power, there were two Brahmins who did not conform to the Dharma, were very vicious and cruel, ate unclean food, and killed various kinds of living beings, named Pana and Nava. These two were punished by the king for stealing in some houses, and they were very angry, offering poisoned food to many Arhats, and vowing: With this virtuous root, may I become a Yaksha and destroy the king and the people of Magadha. Once, these two died of plague and were reborn as Yakshas. When King Lagsang had been in power for seven or eight years, these two obtained the position of Yakshas in Magadha and spread a severe plague in the area. Many people and livestock died there, and the plague could not be stopped. After the diviners learned of this, the people of Magadha invited the noble Shana's robes from Shravasti and prayed for the subduing of those two Yakshas. He also went to Mount Gurba, where the two lived, and stayed in the Yaksha's cave. At that time, the two Yakshas went to the presence of other Yakshas and were ridiculed by another Yaksha friend. When they returned, they were very angry, and the rocks of the cave cracked, and another cave appeared, where the noble Shana's robes were. Like that.
