English

Beauty was wasted. I will be your husband! Let us go together. If I fight with the old Brahmin (梵文天城体:ब्राह्मण,梵文罗马拟音:brāhmaṇa,汉语字面意思:Brahmin) for you, then you should point to me in front of the people and say, 'This is my husband.'" Having said this, she went with the cheat. The Brahmin (梵文天城体:ब्राह्मण,梵文罗马拟音:brāhmaṇa,汉语字面意思:Brahmin) urinated, washed, and returned, and not seeing her, he looked from the top of a high mound and saw her going with another man, so he ran after her and grabbed one of her hands. The cheat also grabbed one of the woman's hands, and they argued with each other, saying, "This is mine," but because the cheat was strong, he dragged her away. There, the Brahmin (梵文天城体:ब्राह्मण,梵文罗马拟音:brāhmaṇa,汉语字面意思:Brahmin) was defeated, and people said, "The arrow of the one who is not a Brahmin (梵文天城体:ब्राह्मण,梵文罗马拟音:brāhmaṇa,汉语字面意思:Brahmin) is reversed." At that time, the great physician was playing with the children in the monastery and heard the sound of "not a Brahmin (梵文天城体:ब्राह्मण,梵文罗马拟音:brāhmaṇa,汉语字面意思:Brahmin)." The children said, "Hey, great physician, you always say that you are the king, but why don't you save the Brahmin (梵文天城体:ब्राह्मण,梵文罗马拟音:brāhmaṇa,汉语字面意思:Brahmin) who is being called 'not a Brahmin (梵文天城体:ब्राह्मण,梵文罗马拟音:brāhmaṇa,汉语字面意思:Brahmin)'?" He sent the children to bring that person, and they brought them all. The great physician asked, "What is this?" The Brahmin (梵文天城体:ब्राह्मण,梵文罗马拟音:brāhmaṇa,汉语字面意思:Brahmin) said, "I am without friends and weak, and my wife has been stolen by this strong cheat." The cheat said, "He is lying, this is my wife." When asked the woman, she also pointed to the cheat and said, "This is my husband." Then the great physician knew that the Brahmin (梵文天城体:ब्राह्मण,梵文罗马拟音:brāhmaṇa,汉语字面意思:Brahmin) was not worthy of compassion and thought, "I should test them." So he said, "Hey, cheat, where did you come from with this woman?" The cheat said, "From my father-in-law's house." The great physician said, "What did you eat and drink there?" He said, "I ate meat, oil cakes, and wine." The great physician said, "If that is so, vomit and see if it is true or false." He put his finger in his mouth and vomited, but nothing of the kind came out. When the Brahmin (梵文天城体:ब्राह्मण,梵文罗马拟音:brāhmaṇa,汉语字面意思:Brahmin) was asked as before, he said, "I came from my father-in-law's house, and I ate zan and radish leaf soup there." When he was made to vomit, it was as he said. The great physician said that this cheat had deceived the young woman and stolen the wife of the Brahmin (梵文天城体:ब्राह्मण,梵文罗马拟音:brāhmaṇa,汉语字面意思:Brahmin).

心想,用棍棒和拳头殴打那个恶棍,挖一个刚好能容纳而不至于淹没的洞,把他的脖子以下埋进去,用孔雀胆汁在前额上写字,写道:无论是谁,如果像这样偷窃妇女,就用大药(Sman chen po)处以这样的惩罚。同样,抓住了大约五百个偷窃儿童、牛、衣服和线等的人,用棍棒和拳头殴打,把他们的脖子以下埋在土坑里,用孔雀胆汁在前额上写上他们的名字,并写道:如果做小偷,就全部用大药(Sman chen po)的惩罚来惩处。然后,国王亲眼看到六个大臣侵吞了国土,心想:我要去看看那个大药(Sman chen po)现在怎么样了。于是对大臣们说:我们去打猎吧。然后带着许多随从去了那个方向,看到五百个恶棍被埋在坑里,那些恶棍看到国王,就喊“国王”,国王听到声音,心想:这里没有人啊。仔细一看,看到一个恶棍,读了他前额上用孔雀胆汁写的字。大药(Sman chen po)等那些孩子们看到国王就逃跑了。国王看到他所做的一切,心想:虽然是孩子,但这些行为没有罪过,很好啊。心中高兴,释放了那些囚犯。村长听到国王去了那里,就用水罐、伞、幢幡、胜幢等迎接。国王也告诫村长:把你儿子带过来看看。村长说:不能因为孩子小就带到天神面前。国王又说:带过来看看。父亲带他来的时候,国王看到他身材好,又很勇敢,心想:现在还是个没长大的孩子啊。于是交还给他的父亲,再三告诫,然后离开了。过了一段时间,国王心想:我要试试那个大药(Sman chen po)有多聪明。于是派使者给村长,说:送一条一百肘长的沙子做的绳子来。村长非常不高兴,也很害怕,心想:我出生以来没见过也没听过这样的刁难啊。正想着,大药(Sman chen po)问:为什么不高兴?

Thinking thus, they beat that rogue with sticks and fists, dug a hole just deep enough to contain him without drowning him, buried him up to his neck, and wrote letters on his forehead with peacock bile, saying: "Whoever steals women in this way will be punished with such a penalty by the Great Medicine (Sman chen po)." Similarly, they caught about five hundred people who stole children, cattle, clothes, and thread, and beat them with sticks and fists, buried them up to their necks in the ground, and wrote their names on their foreheads with peacock bile, saying: "If they act as thieves, all will be punished with the penalty of the Great Medicine (Sman chen po)." Then, the king visibly saw that six ministers had devoured the land, and thought to himself, "I will go and see what that Great Medicine (Sman chen po) is like now." So he said to the ministers, "Let's go hunting," and with many attendants, he went in that direction. When he saw five hundred rogues buried in the hole, those rogues saw the king and called out, "King!" The king heard the sound, but thinking that no one was there, he investigated and saw one rogue, and read what was written on his forehead with peacock bile. The Great Medicine (Sman chen po) and the other children saw the king and fled. The king saw what he had done and thought, "Although they are children, these actions are faultless and good." He was delighted and released those prisoners and sent them away. When the village chief heard that the king had gone there, he greeted him with a vase filled with water, an umbrella, a banner, a victory banner, and so on. The king also instructed the village chief, "Bring your son to see me." The village chief said, "I cannot bring a child, whether small or large, before the gods." The king said again, "Bring him to see me." When the father brought him, the king looked at him and, seeing that he was handsome and brave, thought, "He is still a child whose strength is not yet complete." So he entrusted him to his father, gave him various instructions, and then departed. Some time later, the king thought, "I will test how intelligent that Great Medicine (Sman chen po) is." So he sent a messenger to the village chief, saying, "Send me a rope made of sand, a hundred cubits long." The village chief was very unhappy and frightened, thinking, "I have never seen or heard of such a challenge since I was born." As he was thinking, the Great Medicine (Sman chen po) asked, "Why are you unhappy?"

之后,父亲这样说了,国王想用某种方法判处他死刑。大药师说:把这个人交给我,我来回复国王。父亲把那个信使交给了他。大药师对国王说:请您禀告我这个信息。我们这些挖渠的人,因为头脑简单,不聪明,所以不知道。如果神知道,就请他送来一拃长的东西,我们看了之后,即使是百拃、千拃的东西,也会量好送去的。国王听到后心想:这是神指示他啊,看来这个人会使我的王国繁荣昌盛。又过了些时候,国王想试探他,就派信使去说:把没有用杵捣过的稻米,而且没有碎裂成块的,不在房屋内外,不用火,也不用没有火的方式煮熟,带到路上,但不要走寻常路,不要让太阳晒到,不要让阴影遮蔽,不要交给男人和女人,不要骑坐骑,也不要步行送来。听到这些话后,那个人很不高兴。大药师对父亲说:父亲不要不高兴,我能做到。说完,就把稻米放在太阳下晒干,召集了很多男人和女人,每人给一把稻米,让他们用指甲剥,不要弄碎,一颗一颗地剥下来。然后装进罐子里,放在门槛上煮。为了做到不是用火煮,也不是不用火煮,就在罐子的一面用火,上面用太阳晒。然后嘱咐一个人,一只脚走在路上,一只脚不要走在路上。为了不被太阳和阴影照到,用棍子的顶端系上罐子,用薄布盖上。一只脚穿鞋,一只脚不穿鞋。交给非男非女的阴阳人送去。国王问明情况后说:这位大药师真是聪明,善于回答问题,精通礼仪和规矩等等。

After that, the father said so, and the king wanted to sentence him to death by some means. The great physician said: Give me this man, and I will reply to the king. The father handed over the messenger. The great physician said to the king: Please inform me of this message. We ditch diggers are ignorant and unskilled, so we don't know. If the god knows, please send a span-long thing, and after we look at it, even if it is a hundred or a thousand spans, we will measure it and send it. After hearing this, the king thought: This is the god instructing him, it seems that this person will make my kingdom prosperous. After some time, the king wanted to test him, so he sent a messenger to say: Bring the rice that has not been pounded by a pestle, and is not broken into pieces, not inside or outside the house, not cooked with fire, nor without fire, take it on the road, but do not take the usual road, do not let the sun shine on it, do not let the shadow cover it, do not give it to men and women, do not ride a mount, nor walk. After hearing these words, that person was very unhappy. The great physician said to his father: Father, don't be unhappy, I can do it. After saying that, he dried the rice in the sun, gathered many men and women, and gave each person a handful of rice, and told them to peel it with their fingernails, without breaking it, one grain at a time. Then he put it in a jar and cooked it on the threshold of the door. In order to make it not cooked with fire, nor without fire, he used fire on one side of the jar and the sun on the other. Then he instructed a person to walk with one foot on the road and one foot not on the road. In order not to be exposed to the sun and shadow, tie the jar to the end of a stick and cover it with a thin cloth. Wear a shoe on one foot and not on the other. Send it to a hermaphrodite who is neither male nor female. After the king inquired about the situation, he said: This great physician is really smart, good at answering questions, and proficient in etiquette and rules, etc.

如果这些花园不好,那要怎么做才能变得更好呢?请国王赐予一个王宫的花园。父亲看过那个花园如何,学习之后,按照那个样子送来。国王这样想着,这个年轻人真是聪明啊。又派使者说:在那山岩那里,种一棵树,长到一年,结出火果。年轻人种了一棵蓖麻树送去。国王看到那树的叶子、果实和花朵,感到惊讶,问道:这是什么方法,还是大药?回答说是大药。国王说:好。然后就沉默了。之后,在另一个时候,赶着五百头牛到山岩的村子里,对管事说:给这些牛喂草,挤奶,做成牛奶、酸奶、酥油、奶油和凝乳,然后送来。管事的感到为难,大药看到了,说:父亲,您不要不高兴。我来为国王想办法,一定让国王高兴,也让您没有罪过。他对一对父子这样教导:你们两个到离大城市国王不远的地方去,父亲把一个木盆绑在肚子上,用衣服裹起来,在地上打滚哭泣。然后你,孩子,向四面八方撒香和花等等,向十方祈祷:愿世间守护神让我的父亲安乐吉祥地生个儿子!像这样教导之后,他们就照做了。国王听到了这件事,派了一个人去调查。那人去了之后,看到一个大男人在地上打滚哭泣,他的儿子也在呼唤诸神祈祷。他问那人在做什么,孩子说:因为我的父亲生了个儿子。那些人把这些告诉了国王。国王笑着说:我无论在哪里都没有见过或听说过这样生孩子生出儿子的。孩子说:神啊,您说的是这样吗?国王说:是这样。然后

If these gardens are not good, how can they be made better? Please, may the king bestow a garden of the royal palace. The father, having seen how that garden is, should learn and send it in that manner. The king, thinking thus, that this youth is indeed wise, again sent a messenger, saying: In that rocky mountain, plant a tree that is one year old and bears fire-fruits. The youth planted a castor oil plant and sent it. The king, seeing the leaves, fruits, and flowers of that plant, was amazed and asked: What kind of method is this, or a great medicine? He replied that it was a great medicine. The king said: Good. And then he remained silent. Then, at another time, five hundred cattle were driven to the village of the rocky mountain, and he said to the steward: Give these cattle grass, milk them, and make milk, yogurt, butter, cream, and curd, and send them here. The steward was troubled, and the great medicine saw it and said: Father, do not be displeased. I will think of a way to answer the king, and I will surely make the king happy and you without fault. He instructed a father and son like this: You two should go to a place not far from the great city of the king, and the father should tie a wooden basin to his belly, wrap it with clothes, and roll on the ground as if crying. Then you, child, should scatter incense and flowers, etc., in all directions, and pray to the ten directions: May the protectors of the world grant that my father may peacefully and auspiciously give birth to a son! Having taught them like this, they did as they were told. The king heard of this and sent a man to investigate. That man went and saw a large man rolling on the ground and crying, and his son was also calling upon the gods and praying. He asked what he was doing, and the child said: Because my father has given birth to a son. Those people told these things to the king. The king laughed and said: I have never seen or heard of a birth like this where a son is born. The child said: O god, is that what you are saying? The king said: That is so. Then
