具有一天半寿命者从东方而来,对他说道:我若成为具有功德的国王,此轮宝请靠近我。说完,便从天空方向靠近了。象宝是从檀香山中而来,尾巴上装饰着宝珠。国王骑上它,半天就能绕四大部洲一周。如果用脚行走,脚所触碰的地方都会变成金粉。马宝是青蓝色,鬃毛尾巴是红色,能降下七宝。国王骑上它,吃一顿饭的时间就能绕四大部洲一周,不疲劳也不困倦。珠宝宝的光芒日夜明亮,照亮方圆一百二十由旬。像下雨一样降下七宝,并布施给所有人。女宝是善良美丽的,能让国王心满意足。家主宝能按照国王的需求,如意地提供七宝,用之不竭。大臣宝是国王将军队分成四部分时,只需看一眼,军队就能聚集起来,具有力量和能力。如此拥有七宝后,镜面王心想:这样由往昔福德所生的国王血脉不能断绝。于是用香水沐浴,穿上干净的新衣服,手里拿着香炉。在包括香在内的四个方向跪下,说道:祈请居住在那个方向的圣者们,按照我的祈请前来。说完,从东西南北四个方向,每个方向来了两万个独觉佛,总共八万个独觉佛来到国王的宫殿。国王和大臣们用四种供养品来款待和供奉他们。也让小国王们供养独觉佛,那些小国王们寿命终结后,都转生到天界当了天神。镜面王用智慧利益他人。那个地方有个名叫“手杖婆罗门”的贫穷之人,从一个家主那里租了一头牛,白天使用,晚上把牛牵走。

One who had a lifespan of one and a half days came from the east, and said to him: If I become a king endowed with merit, may this wheel jewel come near to me. Having said this, it came near from the direction of the sky. The elephant jewel came from the sandalwood mountain, adorned with jewels on its tail. If the king rode it, it would circle the four continents in half a day. If he walked on foot, wherever his feet touched would turn into gold dust. The horse jewel was bluish-green in color, with a red mane and tail, and it could bring down the seven jewels. If the king rode it, he could circle the four continents in the time it took to eat a meal, without getting tired or weary. The jewel jewel's light was bright day and night, illuminating up to one hundred and twenty yojanas. It would rain down the seven jewels like rain and give them to everyone. The woman jewel was good and beautiful, and she would satisfy the king's heart. The householder jewel could provide the king with whatever seven jewels he needed, inexhaustibly. The minister jewel was such that when the king divided the army into four parts, the army would gather at just a glance, possessing strength and ability. Having thus possessed the seven jewels, King Mirror Face thought: Such a lineage of kings born from past merit must not be broken. So he bathed with scented water, put on clean new clothes, and held a censer in his hand. He knelt in the four directions, including the direction of Shang, and said: I beseech the noble beings who reside in that direction to come as I request. Having said this, from the four directions of east, south, west, and north, twenty thousand Pratyekabuddhas came from each direction, totaling eighty thousand Pratyekabuddhas, and went to the king's palace. The king and ministers offered them hospitality and offerings with the four kinds of provisions. He also had the minor kings make offerings to the Pratyekabuddhas, and when those minor kings reached the end of their lives, they were all reborn as gods in the heavens. King Mirror Face benefited others with wisdom. In that place, there was a poor man named "Cane Brahmin" who borrowed an ox from a householder, used it during the day, and led the ox away in the evening.

He went to that householder's house, and the householder was eating. The stick-holder drove the ox into the house, (and the ox) went out through another door and ran away. The householder finished eating and stood up. Not seeing the ox, he asked the stick-holder what happened to the ox, (and the stick-holder said) it was driven to your house. The householder said, 'Give me back my ox.' He said, 'I didn't lose it.' The two of them went to King Mirror-Face Wisdom and said they would go to have a judgment made. Another person's mare ran away, (and he said to) the stick-holder, 'Don't let that mare go.' (The stick-holder) threw a stone and broke the horse's leg. That person said, 'You broke my horse's leg, come here, let's go to the king.' They left, and the stick-holder started to run away, jumping onto a wall. He fell onto a weaving rope and died instantly. His wife grabbed the stick-holder and took him to the king. On the way, a carpenter was coming out of a deep water holding an adze. The stick-holder asked how deep the water was, (and the carpenter) said the water was very deep. The adze fell into the water and was not found. (The stick-holder said) 'You made my adze fall into the water.' He said he didn't, and went to the king. Then the stick-holder became tired and went to a tavern to ask for wine. The woman who sold wine had given birth to a boy, covered him with clothes, and put him to sleep (on the ground). (The stick-holder) sat on him, and the child died. They said he killed the child and went to the king. As (they) were going, in another place, a crow was sitting on a Shakotaka tree. It saw the stick-holder and asked where he was going. (The stick-holder said) 'I don't want to go, but they are taking me.' (The crow asked) 'Where are they taking you?' (The stick-holder said) 'To the king.' (The crow said) 'Then please take a message to the king for me. Please say, when I am on this Shakotaka tree in this place, if I sit on another tree, the sound is not pleasant, but when I come to this tree, the sound is pleasant and wonderful, why is that?' Also, a crow was sitting on a dry tree. It saw the stick-holder and asked as before. Finally, it said, 'Please give this message to the king for me. Other trees with green and oily leaves do not

既然这样,我不会喜欢它的。请问,如果我拥有这棵枯树,会有什么快乐呢?又有一只野兽捎信说,既然这里有绿地和蓝色草地,我为什么不信任它们呢?又有一只蟋蟀捎信说,为什么我一会儿发出蟋蟀的声音,一会儿又发出其他的声音呢?又有一条蛇和一只猫鼬互相不和,它们捎信说,我们白天互相看见就争斗,变得不高兴,这是什么原因呢?又像先前一样,一条蛇看见了持杖者,就给国王捎信说,我从洞里出来的时候感到快乐,再回到洞里的时候感到痛苦,这是为什么呢?又那些人在路上看见一个新娘,像先前一样,给持杖者捎信说,当我在父母家的时候,想要婆家,在婆家的时候,想要父母家,这是为什么呢?然后,他们去到国王那里,双脚行礼,坐在一旁。国王问他们:你们来这里做什么?他们就把持杖者和户主争吵的事情都说了。国王对持杖者说:你给了牛吗?给了。那么,还回去了吗?到牛的主人那里被看见了。但没有用口头的承诺。国王说:持杖者给了牛却没有说,所以割掉他的舌头!户主看见牛来了却没有系上,所以挖掉他的眼睛!户主说:持杖者一方面抢了我的牛,一方面又挖了我的眼睛,即使持杖者胜了也容易啊!一个人说:神持杖者杀死了我的母马!国王问持杖者是怎么杀的。他说:我走在路上,这个人说不要放马,所以我捡起一块石头扔过去,马就死了。国王说:马的主人说了不要放马,所以割掉他的舌头!持杖

Since it is like that, I will not like it. Please ask, if I possess this dry tree, what happiness will there be? Also, a wild animal sent a message saying, since there are green lands and blue grasses here, why do I not trust them? Also, a cricket sent a message saying, why do I sometimes make the sound of a cricket and sometimes make other sounds? Also, a snake and a mongoose are mutually incompatible and fight. They sent a message saying, we see each other during the day and fight, becoming unhappy. What is the reason for this? Also, as before, a snake saw the staff-bearer and sent a message to the king saying, when I come out of the hole I feel happy, and when I return to the hole I feel pain. Why is that? Also, those people saw a new bride on the road and, as before, sent a message to the staff-bearer saying, when I am at my parents' house, I want my husband's house, and when I am at my husband's house, I want my parents' house. Why is that? Then, they went to the king, bowed at his feet, and sat to one side. The king asked them, "What have you come here for?" They told him all about the dispute between the staff-bearer and the householder. The king said to the staff-bearer, "Did you give the ox?" "I gave it." "Then, did you return it?" "It went to be seen by the owner of the ox." "But there was no verbal promise." The king said, "The staff-bearer gave the ox but did not say so, so cut off his tongue! The householder saw the ox coming but did not tie it up, so gouge out his eyes!" The householder said, "The staff-bearer stole my ox on the one hand, and gouged out my eyes on the other. Even if the staff-bearer wins, it is easy!" One person said, "The god staff-bearer killed my mare!" The king asked the staff-bearer how he killed it. He said, "I was walking on the road, and this person said, 'Don't let the horse go,' so I picked up a stone and threw it, and the horse died." The king said, "The owner of the horse said, 'Don't let the horse go,' so cut off his tongue!" The staff-

用棍者扔石头,没有人阻止,结果打断了(某人的)手。马主人说:与其一是我的马被杀,二是我的舌头被割,还不如用棍者胜诉。木匠问他水的深度,结果斧头掉进水里了。国王说:无论拿什么东西,都应该扛在肩上。既然你用嘴叼着,斧头掉进水里也是活该,把木匠的两颗门牙拔掉。用棍者明明看到水很深还问,割掉他的舌头。木匠说:与其一是我的斧头丢了,二是我的牙齿被打掉,还不如用棍者胜诉。卖酒妇人说:用棍者杀了我的儿子。用棍者说:我因为疲劳去讨酒喝,没有看垫子就坐下了,没感觉到下面有孩子,所以死了。国王说:卖酒妇人,你把孩子藏在垫子里,用衣服盖住,这是你的错。用棍者,你没有检查垫子就坐下,这是你的错。用棍者,你娶她为妻,让她有儿子吧。卖酒妇人说:与其一是我的儿子被杀,二是让我嫁给他,还不如用棍者胜诉。织布匠的妻子说:他杀了我的丈夫。用棍者说:我因为有很多仇人,害怕,想翻墙逃跑,没看到墙边有人,所以死了。国王说:去嫁给他吧。她说:与其一是我的丈夫被杀,二是嫁给他,还不如用棍者胜诉。他们各自的判决就是这样,用棍者从所有的罪责中解脱了。在那位国王面前,有两个女人为一个孩子争吵。国王用智慧判断后,对两个女人这样命令:你们两个各自抓住孩子的一只手,拉,谁抢到就算谁的孩子。孩子的亲生母亲因为对孩子有怜悯之心,害怕弄伤孩子,所以轻轻地拉。不是亲生母亲的那个,因为不顾惜孩子,就使劲地拉。国王判定轻轻拉的那个是孩子的母亲,就把孩子判给了她。之后又有两个人为了一块布争吵,来到国王面前,国王按照之前的判决来判决。

The one with the stick threw a stone, and no one stopped him, resulting in a broken hand. The horse owner said: Rather than my horse being killed, or my tongue being cut off, it would be better for the one with the stick to win. The carpenter asked him how deep the water was, and as a result, the axe fell into the water. The king said: Whatever you carry, you should carry it on your shoulder. Since you were carrying it in your mouth, it's your fault that the axe fell into the water. Pull out two of the carpenter's front teeth. The one with the stick, seeing how deep the water was, still asked, so cut off his tongue. The carpenter said: Rather than my axe being lost, or my teeth being broken, it would be better for the one with the stick to win. The wine seller said: The one with the stick killed my son. The one with the stick said: I went to ask for wine because I was tired, and I sat down without looking at the cushion, so I didn't realize there was a child underneath, and he died. The king said: Wine seller, you hid the child in the cushion and covered him with clothes, so it's your fault. The one with the stick, you sat down without checking the cushion, so it's your fault. The one with the stick, marry her and give her a son. The wine seller said: Rather than my son being killed, or me marrying him, it would be better for the one with the stick to win. The weaver's wife said: He killed my husband. The one with the stick said: Because I have many enemies, I was afraid and wanted to escape by jumping over the wall, but I didn't see anyone next to the wall, so he died. The king said: Go and marry him. She said: Rather than my husband being killed, or me marrying him, it would be better for the one with the stick to win. Those were their respective judgments, and the one with the stick was freed from all guilt. In front of that king, two women were arguing over one child. The king, with his wisdom, judged and commanded the two women thus: You two each grab one of the child's hands and pull, and whoever gets him, take him as your child. The child's real mother, because she had compassion for the child, was afraid of hurting him, so she pulled gently. The one who was not the real mother, because she didn't care about the child, pulled hard. The king judged that the one who pulled gently was the child's mother, and gave the child to her. Then again, two people were arguing over a piece of cloth and came before the king. The king judged according to the previous judgment.
