For thirty-six periods, the Joyful Ones (Tushita) held the power of kingship; for thirty-six periods, the Non-Contending Ones held the power of kingship; for thirty-six periods, the Thirty-Three held the power of kingship; and for thirty-six periods, the Four Great Kings held the power of kingship. For countless hundreds of thousands of periods, a Wheel-Turning King, victorious over the four directions, endowed with Dharma, possessing the seven precious things including the wheel, brave and fearless, possessing the most excellent form, and possessing a thousand sons who subdue enemies, having become such a one. That king governed the entire great earth up to the edge of the ocean, without causing harm, without injury, without punishment, without pursuit by weapons, in accordance with Dharma and with fairness, and caused it to abide well. The Blessed One said: "What is the cause of becoming the master of the great self? This is what the Buddhas, the benefactors, have declared in the world. Having heard of these vast miracles and wonders, who, whether wise or born of noble lineage, would not develop faith? Therefore, desiring good for myself and desiring to be a great self, here, having remembered the Buddha's teachings, one should hold the sacred Dharma as supreme." Thus he spoke. Furthermore, in a previous life, this Blessed One in this Jambudvipa became a powerful Wheel-Turning King named Glorious Army, with an exceedingly excellent form, remembering his past lives, a great king endowed with Dharma. Through his power, trees and crops ripened, and rain fell well. That king had a virtuous queen named Victorious Light, beautiful and pleasing to behold, who was pleasing to the king's heart. That king governed the entire Jambudvipa peacefully, without taxes, gambling, or ship duties, and that king gave generously whatever was requested, even from his own flesh, giving food, drink, jewels, dwellings, and young women adorned with all kinds of ornaments, etc., giving whatever was desired, causing all the people living in this continent to become rich and enjoy great wealth.

仅仅施舍了。那里有一万二千个大臣,其中最优秀的大臣名叫大慧,他是一位能使国王感到匮乏的智者。当时,所有的人都喜欢国王吉祥军,并且百看不厌。那位国王也让所有的人都安住于十善业中,因此所有死去的人都转生到六欲天,天界完全充满。天神们知道这是那位国王的力量,天帝非常高兴,赞叹之声被天人们听到,他们都生起了信心。当时,王妃胜光梦见自己挖出自己的眼睛又重新长出来等等,因此不高兴,并禀告了国王。国王心想,或许会有人来乞讨这位王妃。但也只是梦境而已,想它又有什么用呢?等等。第二个晚上,大臣大慧梦见国王的宫殿互相被搬走,又各自被放回原处,然后醒了。他心想,难道国王的身体会被人乞讨吗?询问了相师,相师也说确实如此,他心里明白了。第三个晚上,一万二千个大臣梦见老鹰抢走了国王的王冠又还了回来,以及赡部洲所有的人的眼睛都被挖出来又重新长出来等等五个梦,他们感到害怕,心想会不会有灾祸降临到国王身上?询问了相师,相师也说确实如此。因为这个缘故,所有的人都发出了哀叹,国王听到了,心想,我的身体要被乞讨了,因此感到高兴。在那里的北方,住着五百位仙人,其中一位来到了国王的王宫,看见国王和王妃进入花园。那位仙人看见王妃胜光,因为前世也曾是夫妻,由于业缘的关系,对他产生了贪恋。他让自己的弟子,一位婆罗门童子念诵吠陀经圆满,想要供养多少报酬呢?那位仙人对他说,你去向吉祥军国王乞讨王妃胜光,然后给我。那位婆罗门童子心想,这样乞讨太难了,感到灰心。那位仙人说,那位国王是舍弃一切的,所以不难。童子心想,如果没要到,恐怕会被诅咒。去了之后,

He gave alms generously. Among the twelve thousand ministers there, the best was called Great Wisdom, a wise man who could make the king feel deficient. At that time, all the people were fond of King Auspicious Army and never tired of looking at him. That king also established all in the ten virtues, so that all who died were born in the six desire realms, and the heavenly realms were completely filled. The gods knew this was due to the power of that king, and the lord of the gods was very pleased and praised him. The gods heard the praise and developed faith. At that time, the queen, Light of Victory, dreamed of plucking out her own eyes and having them grow back, etc., and was unhappy and reported it to the king. The king thought, 'Perhaps someone will come to beg for this queen.' But it is just a dream, what is the use of thinking about it? etc. On the second night, the minister Great Wisdom dreamed that the king's palaces were taken away from each other and then put back in their places, and then he woke up. He thought, 'Could it be that the king's body will be begged for?' He asked a diviner, who said that it was so, and he understood in his heart. On the third night, the twelve thousand ministers dreamed five dreams: an eagle snatched the king's crown and gave it back, and the eyes of all the people of Jambudvipa were plucked out and grew back, etc. They were afraid and thought, 'Will misfortune befall the king?' They asked a diviner, who said that it was so. Because of this, all the people cried out in lamentation, and the king heard it and thought, 'My body will be begged for,' and was pleased. To the north of there, lived five hundred hermits, one of whom came to the king's palace and saw the king and queen entering the garden. That hermit saw Queen Light of Victory, and because they had been husband and wife in a previous life, he became attached to her due to karmic connections. He asked his student, a Brahmin boy who had completed reciting the Vedas, how much reward he wanted to offer. That hermit said to him, 'Go and beg King Auspicious Army for Queen Light of Victory, and give her to me.' That Brahmin boy thought, 'It is too difficult to beg like that,' and was discouraged. That hermit said, 'That king gives away everything, so it is not difficult.' The boy thought, 'If I don't get it, I'm afraid I'll be cursed.' After going,

似乎因为害怕而不敢在国王面前说话。国王说:“婆罗门,你有什么需要就说吧,我将满足你的愿望。”然后,婆罗门的孩子讲述了所发生的一切,并索要王后。那位国王因为爱着王后而心中不悦,心想:如果我和这位王后分离,我怎么活下去?所有眷属也会被强烈的痛苦所折磨。他这样想着,一时没有说话。心想:不能布施儿子和妻子,就不能获得无上圆满菩提。他抛弃了因失去亲人而沮丧的心情,从狮子座上下来,左手抓住那位像天女一样美丽,因与丈夫分离而泪流满面,痛苦得像要堕入黑暗深渊的王后,右手拿着金瓶,将水流倒入那位婆罗门孩子的手中,布施了王后,并立下了获得无上菩提的誓愿。当时,发生了大地六种震动等奇妙的景象。之后,他带着王后献给了堪布仙人。那位王后像鱼被从水中捞出来一样虚弱,忆念着菩提萨埵,开始了断食。众天神知道大地震动是那位国王的神力所致,便赞叹不已。之后,天帝释提桓因与四位天子一同来到了那座城市。在一个不太远的森林里,出现了一个老婆罗门的形象,他的肚脐以下被像锯子一样的东西切断,鲜血直流。四位天子以婆罗门儿子的身份将他从座位上抬起,痛苦地呼喊着,血腥味引来了乌鸦和秃鹫等,跟随着他们走向城市的大门。看到这一幕,所有人都说:这位婆罗门腰部断了,他的神志怎么没有错乱还能活着?这个人是食人鬼的模样。有些人开始逃跑。一些勇士心想:这个人是食人鬼的模样,如果问他话他能回答,那就奇怪了。于是问道:你是人还是食人鬼?谁切断了你的身体?从哪里来?他忍受着剧烈的疼痛,说道:希毗王,你不要害怕!我是婆罗门,不是罗刹。因为过去业力的罪过,才导致我获得这样的境地。等等,说了很多偈颂,逐渐

He seemed afraid to speak in front of the king. The king said, "Brahmin, tell me what you need, and I will fulfill your wish." Then, the Brahmin's child recounted what had happened and demanded the queen. That king was unhappy because he loved the queen, thinking, "If I am separated from this queen, how will I live? All my retinue will also be tormented by intense suffering." Thinking this, he remained silent for a moment. He thought, "If I cannot give away my son and wife, I will not attain unsurpassed perfect enlightenment." He abandoned the disheartened mind caused by separation from loved ones, descended from the lion throne, and with his left hand, he held the queen, who was as beautiful as a goddess, filled with tears from being separated from her husband, and whose face was cast down in suffering as if falling into a great darkness. With his right hand, he held a golden vase and poured a stream of water into the hand of that Brahmin's child, gave away the queen, and made a vow to attain unsurpassed enlightenment. At that time, wondrous signs occurred, such as the earth shaking in six ways. Then, he took the queen and gave her to the abbot hermit. That queen, like a fish taken from water, was weakened and, remembering the Bodhisattva, began to fast. The gods, knowing that the earth shook due to the power of that king, praised him. Then, Indra, the lord of the gods, together with four sons of the gods, arrived in that city. In a forest not far away, there appeared an old Brahmin in the guise of having his body cut off below the navel as if with a saw, with blood flowing. The four sons of the gods, in the guise of the Brahmin's sons, lifted him from his seat, crying out in pain, and with the smell of blood attracting crows and vultures, followed him towards the city gate. Seeing this, everyone said, "This Brahmin's waist is cut off, how can he live without his mind being disturbed? This person is in the guise of a flesh-eater." Some began to flee. Some brave ones thought, "This person is in the guise of a flesh-eater; it would be strange if he could answer if asked." So they asked, "Are you a human or a flesh-eater? Who cut off your body? Where do you come from?" He, enduring intense pain, said, "King Shibi, do not be afraid! I am a Brahmin, not a Rakshasa. Due to the sins of past karma, I have obtained such a state." And so on, he spoke many verses, gradually.

于是(他)去了国王的宫殿门口,许多其他人也感到惊奇,并跟随在他身后。天、龙、夜叉等众认为国王吉祥军会变得可怜,便发出哀号。那时,整个赡部洲震动,烟雾弥漫,变得黑暗,并出现流星坠落等现象。那时,王妃胜光因与丈夫分离而悲伤,不吃东西,那位仙人怜悯她,心想应该再次将(国王的身体)施舍给国王吉祥军,于是安慰那位王妃说:由于赡部洲如此震动,被黑暗笼罩,不久之后,一些伟人将会死亡。然后,国王从宫殿的上方看到了那个身体残缺的婆罗门,那个婆罗门向国王乞讨身体的一半。大臣大慧对国王说:这并非人类,而是食肉者,身体被切成两半怎么还能活下来并说话?婆罗门说:我不是食肉者,而是婆罗门,因为贫穷,留下妻儿,想向国王吉祥军乞讨财物,来到这里时,太阳落山,城市的大门关闭了,于是又回到行善的房子里睡觉,这时,老虎来了,用像刀一样的爪子切断了身体的一半。当时我虽然受到剧烈疼痛的威胁,但由于不善业的束缚,无法死去,非常痛苦。这时,一位虚空中的天女说,如果向国王吉祥军乞讨身体的一半,一定会给的,听到这话后,我生起了活下去的希望,才得以活下来。当时我心想,我没有下半身,怎么能走呢,正在沮丧时,碰巧太阳升起,这四个亲人来了,看到我可怜的样子,便哭了。为了安慰他们,我详细地说了天女的话,他们便把我抬到轿子上,抬到这里。像这样,他满脸泪水,也说了一些诗句。然后,国王安慰婆罗门不要害怕,答应布施身体,并派一个人去取一把锋利的刀。那个人被帝释天的威力迷惑,迅速地拿着刀回来了。国王对大臣们说,趁这个婆罗门还没死

Then (he) went to the gate of the king's palace, and many others were amazed and followed after him. The hosts of gods, nagas, yakshas, etc., thinking that King Shri Gupta would become miserable, cried out in lamentation. At that time, the entire Jambudvipa shook, and it became dark with smoke, and meteors fell, and so on. At that time, the queen, Royal Light, was grieving because she was separated from her husband and would not eat. That seer felt compassion and thought that he should give (the king's body) back to King Shri Gupta, and so he comforted the queen, saying: Because Jambudvipa is shaking like this and covered in darkness, before long, some great beings will die. Then, the king saw the half-bodied Brahmin from the top of the palace, and that Brahmin begged the king for half of his body. The minister Great Wisdom said to the king: This is not a human being, but a flesh-eater. How can he live and speak when his body has been cut in half? The Brahmin said: I am not a flesh-eater, but a Brahmin. Because of poverty, I left my children and wife and came with the intention of begging for wealth from King Shri Gupta. When I arrived, the sun had set and the city gates were closed, so I went back to the house of merit and fell asleep. Then a tiger came and cut off half of my body with claws like knives. Although I was threatened by intense pain, I was unable to die because I was bound by non-virtuous karma, and I was in great suffering. At that time, a goddess in the sky said that if I begged King Shri Gupta for half of his body, he would surely give it. Hearing this, I developed the hope of living and was able to live. At that time, I thought, I have no lower body, how can I walk? While I was despondent, by chance the sun rose and these four relatives came. Seeing my miserable state, they wept. In order to comfort them, I spoke in detail the words of the goddess, and they put me on a palanquin and carried me here. Like this, with his face full of tears, he also spoke some verses. Then, the king comforted the Brahmin, telling him not to be afraid, and promised to give his body, and sent a man to fetch a sharp knife. That man was deluded by the power of Indra and quickly brought it back. The king said to the ministers, before this Brahmin dies
