当仓库守护者去了别的地方不开门,即使来了也不如意地不给予,因此乞讨者的心愿没有实现时,大布施者这样想:像这样仓库守护者不能做主,父母的命令一定更大。不仅如此,儿子使父母的仓库空虚也是不应该的。我应该用某种方法找到如意宝,使财富用之不竭,从而利益很多人。这样想着,他向人们询问方法,比如耕田、发展畜牧业和做生意等。有些人说,进入大海取得宝珠是好的。大布施者认为,耕田等不是我的份,应该进入大海取得宝珠。他这样向父母请求。他们说进入大海难以平安返回,没有答应。因此,在这个愿望没有实现之前,他发誓脸朝下趴在地上不起来,这样持续了六天。父母说了各种各样的话劝阻也没有成功。之后,父母答应了,他才吃了饭。之后,他和大约五百人一起上路,走了没几天,就被野人抢劫,所有的财物都被抢走了。之后,他们又继续走,到达了一个叫做达舒帕的城市,遇到了一个叫做卡比利的婆罗门。他去了婆罗门的家,乞讨了三千金币。当时,那个婆罗门的女儿,金色皮肤,头发高耸,即使四千个小国王来求婚也没有答应,她住在家里,仅仅听到了站在门口的大布施者的声音,就对父母说:外面门口说话的声音是我的丈夫。之后,那个婆罗门来到门口,心想这个孩子比其他人更优秀,对于他乞讨金币这件事,他一只手拿着金币,一只手牵着女儿,把金币和女儿都给了他。大布施者也承诺,如果从大海返回,也会这样做。那个婆罗门给了他三千金币,以及其他需要的用具,在海边修好了船,宣告了进入大海的利弊,然后进入了大海。在那里,商人们带着珍贵的

When the storehouse keeper went elsewhere and didn't open the door, and even when he came, he didn't give as desired, so the beggar's wish was not fulfilled, the great benefactor thought like this: Like this, the storehouse keeper cannot make decisions, so the parents' command must be greater. Moreover, it is also inappropriate for a son to empty his parents' storehouse. I should find a way to obtain wish-fulfilling jewels, making wealth inexhaustible, and thus benefit many people. Thinking this way, he asked people for methods, such as plowing fields, developing animal husbandry, and doing business. Some people said that it would be good to enter the sea and obtain jewels. The great benefactor thought that plowing fields and the like were not my part, and I should enter the sea to obtain jewels. He asked his parents to do so. They said that entering the sea was difficult to return safely, and they did not agree. Therefore, before this wish was fulfilled, he vowed to lie face down on the ground in front of his parents and not get up, and stayed like this for six days. The parents said all sorts of things to dissuade him, but they were unsuccessful. After that, the parents agreed, and he ate. After that, he set out on the road with about five hundred people, and not many days passed before they were robbed by savages, and all their belongings were stolen. After that, they continued on and reached a city called Dashupa, where they met a Brahmin named Kabili. He went to the Brahmin's house and begged for three thousand gold coins. At that time, the Brahmin's daughter, with golden skin and tall hair, who had not agreed even when four thousand petty kings had proposed to her, was living in the house, and just hearing the voice of the great benefactor standing at the door, she said to her parents: The voice speaking outside the door is my husband. After that, the Brahmin came to the door, thinking that this boy was superior to others, and in response to his begging for gold coins, he took the gold coins with one hand and led his daughter with the other, giving him both the gold coins and his daughter. The great benefactor also promised that if he returned from the sea, he would do the same. That Brahmin gave him three thousand gold coins, as well as other necessary equipment, built a ship on the seashore, announced the advantages and disadvantages of entering the sea, and then entered the sea. There, the merchants with precious

在大陆上,大施主精通于鉴别珍宝,他给商人们展示了估价后的珍宝,船装满后就返回了。 大施主说:“在没有从龙王宫殿获得如意宝珠之前,我是不会返回的。”商人们灰心丧气地说:“我们所有人都不会回去,而是要漂泊流浪了。” 大施主说:“我将为你们祈祷,祝愿你们平安返回家园。”说完,他拿起钵,向四方供养,说了真实语,然后返回,前往赡部洲。 大施主在七天里,水只淹没到膝盖;然后七天里,水淹没到大腿;然后七天里,水淹没到腰部;又七天里,水淹没到肩膀;之后七天里,他游泳来到一座山脚下,抓住树木爬山,用七天时间到达了山顶。 在山顶待了七天后,又用七天时间下到山脚下的水边。 在那里,他看到水中一朵金色莲花的根部,被一条恶毒的蛇缠绕着。 然后,那位菩萨结跏趺坐,进入慈爱的禅定,那些恶毒的蛇的嗔恨平息,以慈悲心平息了一切毒害,菩萨从莲花上迈步,走了七天,摆脱了那些恶毒的蛇。 之后,他又往前走,遇到了罗刹,那些罗刹闻到了人味,跑了过来。 在那里,他又生起慈爱之心,那些罗刹用柔和的语言问道:“年轻人,你从哪里来?要到哪里去?” 大施主说:“我是来寻找如意宝珠的。” 那些罗刹很高兴,心想:“这是一个具有大福报的人,烟土的宫殿非常遥远,永远无法到达,他会因此而苦恼,不如用神力把他送到那里。”于是他们把他带到空中,放在了四百由旬之外的地方。 之后,他又往前走,没过多久,就看到一座银色的城堡,心想:“这一定是龙族居住的地方。”于是他靠近了那座城堡。城堡外面是层层深坑

In the continent, the great benefactor was skilled in assessing precious jewels. He showed the valued jewels to the merchants, and after the ship was filled, they returned. The great benefactor said, "I will not return until I obtain the wish-fulfilling jewel from the palace of the Naga king." The merchants were disheartened and said, "All of us will not return, but will wander about." The great benefactor said, "I will pray for you, wishing you a safe return to your homeland." Having said this, he took a bowl in his hand, made offerings to the four directions, spoke words of truth, and then returned to the continent of Jambudvipa. The great benefactor, for seven days, the water only submerged to his knees; then for seven days, the water submerged to his thighs; then for seven days, the water submerged to his waist; again for seven days, the water submerged to his shoulders; and then for seven days, he swam to the foot of a mountain. He grabbed a tree and climbed the mountain, reaching the summit in seven days. After spending seven days on the summit, he then spent seven days descending to the water's edge at the foot of the mountain. There, he saw a golden-colored lotus in the water, its roots entwined by a venomous snake. Then, that Bodhisattva sat in the lotus position and entered into the samadhi of loving-kindness. The hatred of those venomous snakes subsided, and with loving-kindness, all venom was pacified. The Bodhisattva stepped off the lotus and walked for seven days, breaking free from those venomous snakes. After that, he walked again and encountered Rakshasas, who smelled the scent of humans and ran towards him. There, he again generated a mind of loving-kindness, and those Rakshasas asked with gentle words, "Young man, where do you come from? Where are you going?" The great benefactor said, "I have come to seek the wish-fulfilling jewel." those Rakshasas were delighted, thinking, "This is someone with great merit. The palace of smoke-earth is very far away, and he will never reach it, causing him distress. It would be better to transport him there with magical power." So they carried him into the sky and placed him in a place four hundred yojanas away. After that, he walked again, and before long, he saw a silver castle, thinking, "This must be the dwelling place of the Nagas." So he approached the castle. Outside the castle were layers of pits.

看到外面被烟雾环绕,里面充满了恶毒的蛇。对他生起慈悲心,毒害平息,用脚踩着它们,前往龙的城市。那座城市被两条龙缠绕着,头靠在城门上。那两条龙看到巨大的布施,抬起头来,从施舍中生起慈悲心,头低下来,躺在地上,踩着它们的头进入城内。看到一条龙住在七宝的宫殿里。那条龙看到菩萨,惊恐万分。被七个深渊环绕,其他人无法来到这里,心想这是什么人,起身迎接,放在珍宝的宝座上,给予各种食物。然后询问如何来到这里。因为赡洲的人们贫穷困苦,造作各种罪业,死后立即堕入恶道,我以慈悲心,忍受长途的疲惫。伟大的国王啊,我前来向您乞求如意宝珠。为了以那宝珠利益众生,以功德现证菩提,请您不要违背我的意愿,赐予宝珠。龙王说道:如意宝珠非常难得。如果您为此而来,请住一个月。如果接受我的供养并宣说佛法,我就给予宝珠。菩萨也说应该这样做,龙王每天都献上具有百味的各种食物,并以音乐供养。菩萨在一个月内向他讲述了近念住的法类,准备返回时,龙王非常高兴,解下头顶的宝珠献上,并祈愿:伟丈夫,您成佛时,愿我成为您最亲近的侍者。询问龙王这宝珠有什么力量。他说:这能像下雨一样降下方圆两千由旬内所需的一切。菩萨心想,这宝珠虽然威力强大,却无法成办我的大愿,于是龙王和眷属一起送他走了。

He saw it surrounded by smoke, and inside it was full of venomous snakes. Generating a mind of loving-kindness towards them, the venom subsided, and he trampled them with his feet and went to the city of the Nagas. That city was entwined by two Nagas, their heads resting on the city gate. Seeing the great generosity, those two Nagas raised their heads, and from the act of giving, he generated a mind of loving-kindness, and their heads lowered and lay on the ground. He trampled on their heads and went inside the city, and he saw a Naga dwelling in a palace of seven precious jewels. Seeing the Bodhisattva, that Naga was startled. Surrounded by seven abysses, no one else can come here, so wondering who this could be, he rose and welcomed him, placed him on a jeweled throne, and gave him various foods. Then he asked how he had come. Because the people of Jambudvipa are poor and destitute, committing various sins, and immediately after death fall into the lower realms, I, with a compassionate heart, have endured the exhaustion of the long road. Great king, I have come to beg you for the wish-fulfilling jewel. In order to benefit beings with that jewel, and to manifestly awaken through merit, please grant the jewel without contradicting my wish. The Naga king said: The wish-fulfilling jewel is difficult to find. If you have come for this, stay for a month. If you accept my offerings and teach the Dharma, I will give you the jewel. The Bodhisattva also said that he would do so, and the Naga king offered various foods with a hundred flavors every day, and also offered music. The Bodhisattva taught him the categories of mindfulness for a month, and when he prepared to leave, the Naga king was delighted and removed the jewel from the crown of his head and offered it, and prayed: Great being, when you become a Buddha, may I become your supreme attendant. He asked the Naga king what power this jewel had. He said: This can rain down everything needed within two thousand yojanas like rain. The Bodhisattva thought, this jewel is powerful, but it cannot accomplish my great purpose, so the Naga king and his retinue escorted him away.

之后又去了,那里有青琉璃的城堡,被七层壕沟环绕,两条龙缠绕着它,像之前一样用慈悲心滋养着前往,城堡里居住的龙王像之前一样迎接并款待了他。在索要宝珠时,龙王说如果能教授两个月的佛法,就献出宝珠。于是他教授了两个月的神足通之法,龙王献出了如意宝珠,它能在四千由旬的范围内降下一切所需的雨。菩萨发愿在成佛时成为他的近侍。菩萨心想:这宝珠威力真大,但还不能完全满足我的愿望。于是又去了,那里有金色的城堡,有七层壕沟,两条龙缠绕着它,像之前一样前往,迎接和问候等都和之前一样。在那里,他用了四个月的时间广泛地阐述和教授了佛法的各种类别。龙王从头顶上取下如意宝珠献给他,并再次发愿在成佛时成为他的近侍。龙王说,这颗宝珠的力量能在八千由旬的范围内降下珍宝之雨和一切所需的雨。菩萨非常高兴,心想:赡部洲的范围只有七千由旬,这颗宝珠定能满足我的愿望。于是将前后得到的三个宝珠系在衣角上带了出来,龙王和他的眷属都来送行。之后,菩萨走到稍远的地方,拿起宝珠,发愿道:如果这些是真正的如意宝珠,就让我飞向天空。话音刚落,他就飞向了天空,脱离了海洋的阻碍,到达了岸边。他在那里稍作休息,睡着了。这时,海洋中的小龙们商议说:这片海域只有这三颗宝珠,这个人拿走了三分之二,我们去偷回来吧。于是众龙偷走了宝珠。菩萨醒来一看,发现宝珠不见了,心想:这一定是海里的龙偷走了。我要用我的力量吸干海水。因为没有找回宝珠

Then he went again, where there was a castle of blue beryl, surrounded by seven layers of moats, and two dragons entwined around it. As before, he went nourished by a mind of loving-kindness, and the dragon king residing in the castle welcomed and honored him as before. When he asked for the jewel, the dragon king said that if he could teach the Dharma for two months, he would offer the jewel. So he taught the Dharma of miraculous feet for two months, and the dragon king offered the wish-fulfilling jewel, which could rain down whatever was desired in a range of four thousand yojanas. The bodhisattva made a prayer to be his close attendant when he became a Buddha. The bodhisattva thought, "This jewel is also very powerful, but it has not become quite the measure of my thought." Then he went again, where there was a golden castle with seven moats and two dragons entwined around it. He went inside as before, and the welcome and questions were the same as before. There, he extensively explained and taught the various categories of Dharma for four months. The dragon king took the wish-fulfilling jewel from the crown of his head and offered it, and again made a prayer to be his close attendant when he became a Buddha. The dragon king said that the power of that jewel could rain down a rain of jewels and whatever was desired in a circumference of eight thousand yojanas. The bodhisattva was very happy, thinking, "If the extent of Jambudvipa is only seven thousand yojanas, then this precious jewel will surely fulfill my wishes." So he tied the three precious jewels he had obtained earlier and later to the hem of his garment and went out, and the dragon king and his retinue escorted him. Then, the bodhisattva went a little further and took the precious jewels in his hands, and made a prayer: "If these are truly wish-fulfilling precious jewels, may I fly into the sky." As soon as he spoke, he flew into the sky, escaped the obstacle of the ocean, and reached the shore. There, he rested a little and fell asleep. At that time, the small dragons of the ocean discussed, "There are only these three precious jewels in this ocean, and this man has taken two-thirds. Let's steal them back." So the dragons stole the jewels. The bodhisattva woke up and looked, and saw that the jewels were gone. He thought, "Surely the dragons of the ocean have stolen them. I will use whatever power I have to draw up the water of the ocean and dry it up." Because he did not recover the jewels
