都移到了下座。他们互相看着，起身移座，坐定后又发现自己已经在下面了，这样反复三次，才低头坐下。接着要行净水，佛陀对施主说：‘先给你老师洗瓶口。’从佛陀开始，水才流下来。接着要施食，佛陀对施主说：‘请你老师来施食。’六师张口结舌，说不出话，只是指着佛陀。佛陀念诵咒语，梵音清澈，听的人都感到快乐。接着要行食，佛陀对施主说：‘先奉给你老师。’食物停在空中，被送到佛陀面前，食物才落下来。佛陀和众僧用完餐后，漱口、用牙木、铺座而坐，接着要说法。佛陀对施主说：‘让你老师说。’他们像之前一样张口结舌，只是指着佛陀说。这时，如来用梵音，为大众广泛地演说微妙的佛法，大众听了都明白了。洴沙王的弟弟心生清净的信心和理解，皈依了三宝，证得了初果。 English version: At that time, there were followers of the six heretical teachers, such as Purana, who had long been in the king's territory, spreading false teachings, deceiving and confusing the people, and many believed in them. The king had a younger brother who admired their sect, respectfully obeying them in all four aspects of life—clothing, food, shelter, and transportation—believing they were virtuous. When the Buddha's teachings first began to flourish, the king earnestly wanted his brother to turn to Buddhism, but he stubbornly clung to heretical views and refused to listen to advice. He said to the king, 'I have my own teachers, and I will not respect that Gautama.' The king then said to him, 'It is rare to encounter a field of merit. You can prepare precious food to offer to the Tathagata.' He replied, 'Since Your Majesty instructs me thus, I dare not disobey. I will hold a grand feast, not limiting who may come. If they come on their own, I will entertain them.' So, he prepared food and laid out seats, then secretly sent his followers to invite the six teachers. They came as invited and sat in the honored positions. The Buddha and his monks did not come on their own. The king said to his brother, 'Although you cannot personally invite the Buddha, you should at least send someone to tell him that the time has come.' After accepting the invitation, the Buddha led his disciples, with dignified and solemn bearing, to the gathering place. Seeing that the heretics had already occupied the high seats, he used his supernatural powers to move the six teachers and their followers to the lower seats. They looked at each other, got up to move their seats, and after sitting down again, found themselves below once more. This happened three times before they finally sat down with their heads bowed. Next, it was time to offer water for washing. The Buddha said to the host, 'First, wash the mouth of your teacher's bottle.' Only after the Buddha began did the water flow down. Next, it was time to offer food. The Buddha said to the host, 'Please ask your teacher to offer the food.' The six teachers were speechless, unable to say a word, and only pointed to the Buddha. The Buddha chanted mantras, his voice clear and pure, bringing joy to those who heard it. Next, it was time to distribute the food. The Buddha said to the host, 'First, offer it to your teacher.' The food remained suspended in the air, and was brought to the Buddha, after which it fell down. After the Buddha and his monks had finished their meal, they rinsed their mouths, used toothpicks, and sat down on their seats. Next, it was time to preach the Dharma. The Buddha said to the host, 'Let your teacher speak.' They were speechless as before, only pointing to the Buddha to speak. At this time, the Tathagata used his Brahma voice to widely expound the subtle Dharma to the assembly, and the assembly understood it. King Bimbisara's brother developed pure faith and understanding, took refuge in the Three Jewels, and attained the first fruit of enlightenment. 。自余众会有得二果，乃至漏尽无生果者。 时外道辈所向失利，甚怀恚恼，心无暂安，各于静处求学奇术。天魔波旬虑其怯弱，不能保护昔所授法，乃下化作六师相状，于一人前现五人术，飞行空中身出水火，分形散体种种变现。由是邪徒更相恃赖，念前被辱众心离散，今察己能定可胜彼，即诣王前自夸神异，请对试之见其优劣。时洴沙王乃哂之曰：“观汝邪徒愚迷特甚，佛德广大言莫能宣，欲以萤火与日争明，蹄岑之水比于巨海，蚁垤之阜等于须弥，野干卑躯方于师子，小大相形昭然自显。”六师白言：“大王！未测我之殊变，何因偏心见薄如此。期后七日请置试场。” 王诣佛所具陈上事：“唯愿世尊暂屈威神，伏除邪党悉归正道。”佛言：“大王！我自知时。”王闻是语，谓佛许可，即敕臣吏择宽广处，修治平正使令清净，建立幢幡施设床座。 当其会日人民企望。于是如来将诸大众，自王舍城往毗耶离国。时彼大王名曰㗚磋，将诸臣庶奉迎于佛。六师邪徒咸唱是言：“久知瞿昙智术微浅，将迫较胜畏而避去。”时洴沙王闻佛前进，办诸供具满五百车，王及臣民可十万数，备其所须悉随佛往。外道即白㗚磋王言：“请与沙门捔其神化 现代汉语译本：其余的听众中，有的证得了二果，乃至证得漏尽无生的果位。 现代汉语译本：当时，外道们屡次失利，心中非常恼怒，没有片刻安宁，各自在僻静的地方寻求奇异的法术。天魔波旬担心他们胆怯软弱，不能守护之前所传授的法术，于是化作六师的模样，在一个人面前显现五个人的法术，在空中飞行，身上出水出火，分身散体，做出种种变化。因此，邪徒们更加互相依赖，想到之前受到的屈辱，众心离散，现在看到自己的能力，认为一定可以战胜佛陀，就去见国王，夸耀自己的神通，请求与佛陀对试，看看谁更厉害。当时，洴沙王嘲笑他们说：‘看你们这些邪徒，愚昧迷惑到了极点，佛陀的德行广大，言语无法表达，你们想用萤火虫的光芒与太阳争辉，用蹄印中的水与大海相比，用蚂蚁窝的小土堆与须弥山相比，用野狗卑微的身躯与狮子相比，大小的差别如此明显。’六师辩解说：‘大王！您没有见识过我们的特殊变化，为什么如此偏心，轻视我们？请允许我们在七天后设置比试的场地。’ 现代汉语译本：国王去到佛陀那里，详细陈述了这件事：‘希望世尊暂时显现威神，降伏这些邪党，让他们都归于正道。’佛陀说：‘大王！我自会选择时机。’国王听了这话，以为佛陀答应了，就命令臣吏选择宽广的地方，修整平坦，使其清洁，建立旗帜，设置床座。 现代汉语译本：到了比试的那天，人民都翘首以待。于是，如来带领大众，从王舍城前往毗耶离国。当时，那里的国王名叫㗚磋，带领臣民迎接佛陀。六师邪徒都宣扬说：‘早就知道瞿昙的智慧和法术浅薄，将要比试时，因为害怕失败而逃走了。’当时，洴沙王听说佛陀要来，准备了五百车供品，国王和臣民大约有十万人，带着所需的物品都跟随佛陀前往。外道就对㗚磋王说：‘请允许我们与沙门比试神通变化。’ English version: Among the remaining attendees, some attained the second fruit, and even the fruit of the extinction of outflows and non-arising. English version: At that time, the heretics, having repeatedly suffered losses, were deeply angered and restless. Each sought out secluded places to learn extraordinary arts. The demon king Mara, fearing their timidity and inability to protect the teachings he had given them, transformed himself into the likeness of the six teachers. He manifested the arts of five people before one person, flying in the air, emitting water and fire from his body, dividing and scattering his form, and performing various transformations. Consequently, the heretics became more reliant on each other. Recalling their previous humiliation and the scattering of their followers, they now believed their abilities could surely defeat the Buddha. They went before the king, boasting of their supernatural powers, and requested a contest to determine who was superior. King Bimbisara then mocked them, saying, 'Behold, you heretics are extremely foolish and deluded. The Buddha's virtue is vast and cannot be expressed in words. You wish to compare the light of fireflies to the sun, the water in a hoofprint to the vast ocean, the small mound of an anthill to Mount Sumeru, and the lowly body of a jackal to a lion. The difference in size is clearly evident.' The six teachers argued, 'Great King! You have not witnessed our extraordinary transformations. Why are you so biased and look down upon us? Allow us to set up a contest arena in seven days.' English version: The king went to the Buddha and detailed the matter, saying, 'May the World Honored One temporarily display your divine power, subdue these heretics, and lead them all to the right path.' The Buddha replied, 'Great King! I will choose the right time.' Upon hearing this, the king assumed the Buddha had agreed. He ordered his officials to select a wide open space, level it, make it clean, erect banners, and set up seats. English version: On the day of the contest, the people eagerly awaited. Then, the Tathagata, along with his assembly, traveled from Rajagriha to Vaishali. At that time, the king there, named Kracha, led his ministers and people to welcome the Buddha. The six heretics proclaimed, 'We have long known that Gautama's wisdom and arts are shallow. He is fleeing because he fears defeat in the upcoming contest.' When King Bimbisara heard that the Buddha was coming, he prepared five hundred carts of offerings. The king and about one hundred thousand of his people, carrying all that was needed, followed the Buddha. The heretics then said to King Kracha, 'Please allow us to compete with the Shramana in supernatural transformations.' 。”王乃谓曰：“咄哉痴人！自云有道，但虑汝辈自贻毁辱。”王白佛言：“六师纷纭欲比奇术，唯愿如来制其邪恶。”佛言：“大王！我自知时。”闻说是已谓佛许可，严治备办如洴沙王，民庶伫观期在明日。 是时如来自毗耶离，统领大众诣拘睒弥国，时彼大王名曰优填，集诸臣民悉来奉迎，毗耶人民明晨问佛：“云何已往拘睒弥国，六师由是高心愈增，语其徒曰：‘见必穷逼。’”时㗚磋王闻佛前进，亦备供具满五百车以俟供养。王及臣民充七万数，备其所须悉随佛后，自拘睒弥国往越祇国，自越祇国往特叉尸罗国，以至波罗奈国、迦毗罗卫国、舍卫国等。于时世尊所历之境，王及臣民千万亿众，悉来奉迎供养恭敬。每至一国，彼六师辈常逐于后，求佛捔试，广炫己能，皆如前说。 时诸国王所将臣民，无量百千万亿之众，充塞川野集舍卫国。时彼大王名曰胜军，有大名称威德特尊。时六师辈前白王言：“请与沙门较其优劣，潜奔诸国意欲求避，我与徒属今逐至此。”时胜军王谓外道曰：“如来圣德难可思议，汝辈凡愚辄论胜负。”王诣佛所具陈上事：“唯愿世尊略施神化，普令诸国一切群迷睹佛神通辨其邪正。”佛言：“大王！此非小缘，今正是时，如其所请 于是国王说道：‘唉，真是个愚蠢的人！自称有道，只是担心你们这些人自取其辱。’国王对佛说：‘六师纷纷扰扰想要比试奇术，只希望如来能够制止他们的邪恶。’佛说：‘大王！我自有安排。’国王听了这话，以为佛已经允许了，就如同洴沙王一样，严阵以待，百姓们都翘首以盼，期待着明日的到来。 这时，如来从毗耶离出发，带领大众前往拘睒弥国。当时，那里的国王名叫优填，他召集所有臣民前来迎接。毗耶离的人民第二天早上问佛：‘为什么已经去了拘睒弥国？’六师因此更加骄傲，对他们的徒弟说：‘（佛）一定会走投无路。’这时，㗚磋王听说佛要来了，也准备了五百辆装满供品的车子，等待供养。国王和臣民共有七万人，带着他们所需的物品，都跟在佛的后面，从拘睒弥国前往越祇国，又从越祇国前往特叉尸罗国，一直到波罗奈国、迦毗罗卫国、舍卫国等地。当时，世尊所经过的地方，国王和臣民有千万亿之众，都前来迎接、供养和恭敬。每到一个国家，那些六师总是跟在后面，寻求与佛较量，炫耀自己的能力，都像之前说的那样。 当时，各国国王所带领的臣民，有无数百千万亿之众，挤满了原野，聚集在舍卫国。当时，那里的国王名叫胜军，他有很大的名声，威望特别高。这时，六师来到国王面前说：‘请与沙门较量一下谁更优秀，他们偷偷跑到各个国家，想要躲避，我们和徒弟们现在追到这里了。’胜军王对外道说：‘如来的圣德难以思议，你们这些凡夫俗子竟然妄论胜负。’国王来到佛的住所，详细陈述了这件事：‘只希望世尊稍微施展一下神力，让各国所有迷惑的人都能看到佛的神通，辨别邪正。’佛说：‘大王！这并非小事，现在正是时候，就如你所请求的那样吧。’ Then the king said, 'Oh, you foolish people! You claim to have the Way, but I fear you will only bring disgrace upon yourselves.' The king said to the Buddha, 'The six teachers are in turmoil, wanting to compete in miraculous arts. I only wish that the Tathagata would restrain their evil.' The Buddha said, 'Great King! I know the right time.' Upon hearing this, the king thought the Buddha had agreed, and he made preparations like King Pingsha, with the people eagerly awaiting the next day. At this time, the Tathagata departed from Vaisali, leading the multitude to the country of Kausambi. There, the king named Udayana gathered all his ministers and people to welcome him. The people of Vaisali asked the Buddha the next morning, 'Why have you already gone to Kausambi?' The six teachers became even more arrogant, saying to their disciples, '(The Buddha) will surely be cornered.' At this time, King Krusa, hearing that the Buddha was coming, also prepared five hundred carts filled with offerings, waiting to make offerings. The king and his people, numbering seventy thousand, with all their necessities, followed behind the Buddha, from Kausambi to the country of Vatsa, then from Vatsa to Taxila, and finally to Varanasi, Kapilavastu, Sravasti, and other places. At that time, in the places the World Honored One passed through, kings and their people, numbering in the hundreds of millions, came to welcome, make offerings, and pay their respects.
