龙族们骚动起来,伴随着巨大的风暴,将铜板扔到了王宫的门前。国王的影像向龙的影像顶礼膜拜。国王问阿罗汉说:现在龙族们的福德很大啊。为了再次增长国王您的福德,请供养佛和僧众吧。这样劝请后,供养身像和殊胜的所依,是之前的七倍。那位阿罗汉刹那间前往天和龙等处所,向所有的阿罗汉传达。国王也建造了巨大的节日房屋。那位阿罗汉敲击犍稚(梵文:ghaṇṭī,梵文罗马拟音:ghaṇṭī,汉语字面意思:铃),乃至须弥山和周围的一切阿罗汉都聚集起来。向聚集的六万阿罗汉三个月供养一切资具。那时,国王的影像每天都在增长,四十五天后,国王和龙的两个影像几乎并肩站立。之后,龙的影像每天都在弯曲,再次四十五天后,龙的影像向国王的影像的脚顶礼膜拜。所有的人都惊叹道:供养三宝的福德就是这样的啊。之后,将之前的铜板扔到恒河中,第二天,龙的使者化作人身前来,说:珍宝都已运到海边,请派商人去取吧。国王正要这样做的时候,之前的阿罗汉说:国王啊,这不算太稀奇。你们七天后将那些宝物扛在肩上,供奉到这里来吧。如果那样变化,就太稀奇了。如是说后,照着做了。第七天,国王被无数的人群围绕着,在人群中,龙族化作商人的形象前来,献上宝物,触碰国王的脚,让众人观看,也举行了盛大的节日。在那里,国王也成就了夜叉车乘的明咒,得到了大象般大小的马和。

The nagas became agitated and, accompanied by a great storm, threw the copper plate in front of the palace gate. The king's image went to prostrate to the naga's image. The king asked the Arhat, "Now the nagas have great merit. In order to increase the king's merit again, please make offerings to the Buddha and the Sangha." After urging in this way, he offered seven times more offerings to the body image and the supreme objects of veneration than before. That Arhat went to the abodes of gods and nagas in an instant and informed all the Arhats. The king also built a great festival house. When that Arhat struck the ghaṇṭī (梵文:ghaṇṭī,梵文罗马拟音:ghaṇṭī,汉语字面意思:bell), all the Arhats, including those dwelling on Mount Sumeru and its surroundings, gathered. He offered all necessities for three months to the assembled sixty thousand Arhats. At that time, the king's image grew larger every day, and after forty-five days, the two images of the king and the naga stood almost side by side. Then, the naga's image bent more and more each day, and again after forty-five days, the naga's image prostrated at the feet of the king's image. All the people marveled, saying, "The merit of offering to the Three Jewels is like this!" Then, when the previous copper plate was thrown into the Ganges, the next morning, a naga messenger came, transformed into a human, and said, "The jewels have been transported to the seashore, please send merchants to retrieve them." When the king was about to do so, the previous Arhat said, "O king, this is not so amazing. After seven days, carry those jewels on your shoulders and offer them here. If it changes like that, it will be very amazing." After saying this, he did as he was told. On the seventh day, the king was surrounded by an immeasurable crowd of people, and in the midst of the crowd, the nagas came in the form of merchants, offered the jewels, touched the king's feet, and made a spectacle for the crowd. A great festival was also held at that time. There, the king also accomplished the vidyā-mantra of the yaksha chariot, and obtained a horse as large as an elephant and...

像树干一样高大的人等,出现了很多夜叉的四肢军队,使得掘地的南方等所有其他地方都毫无阻碍地被纳入统治之下。北方雪山,以及于阗(今新疆和田)背后的雪山,东、南、西三方与大海相接的赡部洲为基础,统治着五十个左右的小洲。之后,阿罗汉名称宣说了导师圆满正等觉佛陀的授记,劝请道:请用具有如来舍利之精华的佛塔来庄严大地!因此需要佛陀的舍利,为了取出国王阿阇世的亲族们埋藏在王舍城大佛塔地下的宝藏,国王和阿罗汉名称带着众人一起前往那里挖掘,挖到大约三个人高的时候,出现了一个燃烧着火焰的铁轮在猛烈地旋转,无法找到拿取的地方。这时,一位当地的老妇人指点方法说,从那个地方向西走大约三由旬的山脚下,有一条河流,改变河流的方向,旋转的轮子就会停止,火焰也会熄灭。再次挖掘时,在铜板上看到写着:这是如来的舍利,有一摩揭陀的大布雷。未来会有一位贫穷的国王来取出它。看到这些,无忧王因傲慢而想,取出它的人不是我,因为我是贫穷的,所以是其他人。于是背过身去坐着,但阿罗汉名称再次劝请。最终挖到大约七个人高的时候,从铁箱等内外七层箱子的中央,发现导师的舍利原本只有一摩揭陀的大布雷,但却增多到有六卡车的量。看到箱子的四个角上各有一颗能放射出远至一由旬光芒的如意宝珠被当作供品放置,知道即使用无忧王的整个王国的财富也无法估量其中一颗宝珠的价值,国王的傲慢就消失了。从此身

Men as tall as tree trunks and other yaksha armies with four divisions appeared in great numbers, bringing all other lands, including the south of the excavators, under their dominion without obstruction. The snowy mountains of the north, the snow behind Li-yul (Khotan), and Jambudvipa, based on the east, south, and west meeting the ocean, came to rule over about fifty small continents. After that, the Arhat Name proclaimed the prophecy of the Teacher, the perfectly complete Buddha, urging: Adorn the earth with stupas that contain the essence of the Tathagata's relics! Therefore, there was a need for the Buddha's relics. In order to retrieve the treasures of King Ajatashatru's relatives buried under the great stupa of Rajagriha, the king and the Arhat Name, along with the assembly, went there to dig. When they had dug down about three men's height, a burning iron wheel fiercely spinning appeared, and they could not find a place to take it. At that time, an old woman of the village showed them a method, saying that about three yojanas west of that place, at the foot of a mountain, there was a flowing river. If they changed the direction of the river, the spinning wheel would stop and the fire would go out. When they dug again, they saw written on a copper plate: These are the relics of the Tathagata, one large Magadha brei. In the future, a poor king will take it out. Seeing this, King Ashoka, out of arrogance, thought, 'The one who will take it out is not me, because I am poor, so it must be someone else.' So he turned away and sat down, but the Arhat Name urged him again. Finally, when they had dug down about seven men's height, from the center of the seven layers of boxes, including the iron box, they found that the Teacher's relics, which were originally only one large Magadha brei, had increased to the amount of six cartloads. Seeing that each of the four corners of the box had a wish-fulfilling jewel radiating light as far as one yojana, placed as offerings, he knew that even with all the wealth of King Ashoka's entire kingdom, he could not estimate the value of even one of the jewels, and the king's arrogance disappeared. From that body

A large bag of precious bone ashes was taken, and then placed and hidden as before, and an iron wheel was also set up. The water secret was also allowed to flow as before, burning and rotating as before, and later the top cover was put on. After that, orders were also given to people in different places. All the messengers and work assistants were done by the powerful Yakshas. Stupas with the essence of the Buddha's relics were built in the eight great holy places, around the Vajra Throne, and in all the lands of Jambudvipa, including Li (Khotan) in the north. As a result, eighty-four thousand stupas were completed in one day and one night. Then orders were given to all places to offer thousands of lamps, incense, and garlands to all the stupas every day, and to offer the Bodhi tree with tens of thousands of vases of gold, silver, and lapis lazuli filled with fragrant water and the five ambrosias. From afar, offerings were made with tens of thousands of incense and lamps. There, for three months, sixty thousand Arhats were invited, and every day they were invited to sit in the sky above Pataliputra and were offered with all kinds of things. The noble learners and the Sangha of ordinary beings were offered on the ground. In the end, each monk was given a mountain of clothes worth a hundred million. That night, in order to see the stupas, the king and his entourage were carried on the shoulders of the powerful Yakshas. Within seven days, they circumambulated all the sacred stupas of Jambudvipa, and the offerings were ten times more than usual. All the stupas of Buddhas and Shravakas were offered a gold ornament each. The Bodhi tree was especially decorated with all kinds of jewels. On the eighth day, prayers were repeatedly made: "May this root of my virtue make me the best of men - a Buddha." And he said, "Let the assembly of beings rejoice and praise with great joy!" Many people said, "The king's undertaking, although

小果啊,暂且不说无上菩提,如果没有,那么国王的愿望会实现吗?这样说之后,如果我的愿望实现,那么这个大的也会摇动吧,从天空也会降下花雨吧。这样说完之后,大地也摇动了,降下花雨,那些人们也以信心来种下愿望。当为了佛塔开光的时候,众比丘三个月做供养,在圆满的那天,各自的比丘很多人突然到来了,国王在园林里做了大的供养,对那些行列最初坐着的老比丘特别做了大的供养。那个老比丘是听闻很少非常愚笨的,连一个偈颂也不能念诵,那些年轻的比丘中也有很多持律的。食物的事情完毕后,在行列下面的人们问老比丘,国王对您特别恭敬的原因知道吗?老比丘说不知道。那些人说这是我们知道的,现在国王想要听法而来了,您需要说法。那时老比丘就像被击中要害一样。我受具足戒后已经六十年了,连一个偈颂也不知道,如果以前知道这件事,就把那些好的食物给其他的比丘,寻找说法者就好了。现在已经吃完了,想做什么好呢?这样非常痛苦的时候,住在那个园林里的天神想,如果国王不对这个比丘生起信心就不好了,于是以化身来到那个比丘的面前说,国王来听法的时候,大国王,连同山地的这个大地也会毁灭,更何况国王的王位呢,大国王您自己也应该考虑啊,这样说。之后国王来了,穿戴着一套金色的衣服,为了听法而坐着,像之前一样说了,因为国王是有信心的人,所以觉得非常真实。

Small fruit, let alone the unsurpassed Bodhi, if there is none, will the king's wish be fulfilled? After saying this, if my wish is fulfilled, then this great one will also shake, and rain of flowers will fall from the sky. After saying this, the earth also shook, and rain of flowers fell, and those people also planted wishes with faith. When the stupa was consecrated, the monks made offerings for three months, and on the day of completion, many monks from various places suddenly arrived, and the king made great offerings in the garden, and especially made great offerings to the old monk who was sitting at the beginning of those rows. That old monk was very foolish with little learning, and could not even recite a single verse, and among those young monks there were many who held the Vinaya. After the meal was finished, the people below the ranks asked the old monk, do you know the reason why the king is especially respectful to you? The old monk said he didn't know. Those people said that we know this, now the king wants to come to listen to the Dharma, you need to teach the Dharma. At that time, the old monk was like being hit in a vital point. I have been fully ordained for sixty years, and I don't even know a single verse. If I had known this before, I would have given those good foods to other monks and looked for a Dharma speaker. Now that I have finished eating, what should I do? When he was in great pain, the deity living in that garden thought that it would be bad if the king did not generate faith in this monk, so he came to the monk in a transformed form and said, when the king comes to listen to the Dharma, the great king, even this earth with mountains will be destroyed, let alone the king's throne, the great king himself should also consider it, he said. After that, the king came, wearing a set of golden clothes, and sat down to listen to the Dharma, and said as before, because the king was a faithful person, he thought it was very true.
