献给了无与伦比的母亲。那位苦行者的儿子也对那善说赞叹不已,然后在无与伦比的母亲面前放了一张带有树叶的床,那是黑色的娑罗树皮。在那里,两位商人放了像月亮一样洁白的布。然后,大臣和王子们也各自放了一件像月亮一样的布。在那里,舞蹈表演结束时,国王首先问主事者:你用布来装饰无与伦比的母亲是为了什么?他回答说:请神灵倾听。当我迷恋于这件掉落的布的形相的优点时,她善说消除了我的智慧的黑暗,为了那个缘故。国王又问那位苦行者的儿子:你为什么把带有树叶的树皮放在无与伦比的母亲面前?他回答说:我本想放弃苦行而住在家里,但她用善说阻止了我放弃苦行,因此我尊敬她。然后问两位商人,他们说:一位船长在去其他地方时,把一串珍珠交给我,我在我的节日里把它作为一位情人的颈饰。我的妻子看到后问我,他说:是一位船长放在我的主人的手中的,而且你的丈夫也亲自作证了。他说:即使船长来了,如果我的丈夫不说话,这串珍珠就会变成我们共同的了。两位女主人听到这恶毒的话后,我们也因欲望而昏了头,答应那样做。但她的善说使我们放弃了夺取善行的贪婪之心,从而走上了获得善趣的道路,因此我们赞叹她,并突然扔掉了布。然后国王问大臣:你为什么也献上那布?那位大臣跪下说:如果神赐予我不畏惧,我就说。国王也赐予了他不畏惧。那位大臣私下对国王说:恶人我和天女之首商议,让这位统治者入睡。

It was offered to the unparalleled mother. The son of that ascetic also praised that well-spoken word, and then placed a bed with tree leaves, which was black sala bark, in front of the unparalleled one. There, two merchants placed cloths as white as the moon. Then, the ministers and princes also each placed a cloth like the moon. There, when the dance performance ended, the king first asked the chief: Why do you adorn the unparalleled mother with cloth? He replied: May the gods listen. When I was infatuated with the qualities of the form of this fallen cloth, she dispelled the darkness of my mind with her well-spoken words, for that reason. The king then asked the son of the ascetic: Why did you place the bark with tree leaves in front of the unparalleled mother? He replied: I wanted to give up asceticism and live at home, but she prevented me from giving up asceticism with her well-spoken words, therefore I honored her. Then he asked the two merchants, and they said: A captain, when going elsewhere, entrusted me with a string of pearls, which I used as a necklace for a lover during my festival. When my wife saw it, she asked me, and he said: A captain placed it in the hands of my master, and your husband himself testified to it. He said: Even if the captain comes, if my husband does not speak, this string of pearls will become common to us. After hearing these malicious words, the two mistresses were also overwhelmed by desire and promised to do so. But her well-spoken words made us abandon the greedy thought of seizing virtue, and thus we embarked on the path to obtaining a good rebirth, therefore we praised her and suddenly threw away the cloths. Then the king asked the minister: Why did you also offer that cloth? That minister knelt down and said: If the god grants me fearlessness, I will speak. The king also granted him fearlessness. That minister privately said to the king: The wicked one, myself, and the chief of the goddesses conspired to put this ruler to sleep.

在某个时候,他们决定用毒药或利剑杀死她,然后我们自己来统治王国。因为这个决定被无与伦比的善说之光摧毁了,所以(王子)用衣服来尊敬她。然后,国王问被授权为王储的儿子:你为什么给无与伦比的母亲衣服?他回答说:父王您会听到的。我生起了这样的想法:要和邪恶的大臣一起杀死这个破坏家族名声的母亲。但是,无与伦比的母亲善说,扭转了我那非法的想法,她就像我的老师一样,所以我用衣服来供养她。说完之后,国王听了这些话,对他们说“好啊”。然后,他召唤了无与伦比的母亲,给了她大量的财富,并尊敬她,用赞美之词赞美她,然后所有人都回到了自己的住所。因此,我们应该尊敬菩萨们,因为他们智慧的力量,即使只用一句善说之偈,也能成办众多众生的伟大利益。༈ 另外,过去,在一个富裕、快乐的地方,名叫乔波岩的国王的住所,世尊已经超越了许多论典,并且以调伏和忍耐等伟大的功德,成为了像世间一切众生亲友一样的导师——善逝,他为众生照亮了善良的道路。在那里,在瓦拉纳西,听到一个像天女一样的妓女,名叫美丽主母,控制了很多导师。为了消除她对外貌的傲慢,善逝带着许多朋友去了瓦拉纳西。那些有缺陷的人对妓女首领说:你的美丽像蜜蜂吸食莲花一样吸引着所有人。现在,派一个使者去迎接那位聪明而清晰的善逝,用甜言蜜语引诱他,让他受你控制。按照他们所说的,她派了一个口齿伶俐的使者,恭敬地对善逝说:这位夺走所有妓女首领光彩的人说,请您像在自己家一样来到这里,请您照顾我们。就这样说了。善逝说:

At some point, they decided to kill her with poison or a sharp sword, and then we ourselves would rule the kingdom. Because this decision was destroyed by the light of unparalleled good speech, (the prince) honored her with clothes. Then, the king asked the son who had been empowered as crown prince: Why did you give clothes to the unparalleled mother? He replied: Father, you will hear. I had the thought that I should kill this mother who destroys the family's reputation together with the evil minister. However, the unparalleled mother spoke well and reversed my unlawful thought, she became like my teacher, so I offered her clothes. After speaking, the king heard these words and said to them, "Good." Then, he summoned the unparalleled mother, gave her great wealth, and honored her, praising her with praises, and then everyone returned to their own dwellings. Therefore, we should respect Bodhisattvas, because by the power of their wisdom, even with just one verse of good speech, they can accomplish great benefit for many sentient beings. ༈ Also, in the past, in a wealthy and happy place, in the royal residence called Jopo Rock, the Blessed One had surpassed many treatises, and with great qualities such as taming and patience, had become a guide like a friend to all beings in the world—the Sugata, who illuminates the path of goodness for beings. There, in Varanasi, having heard that a prostitute like a goddess, named Beautiful Mistress, controlled many guides. In order to dispel her arrogance about her appearance, the Sugata went to Varanasi with many friends. Those with flaws said to the chief prostitute: Your beauty attracts everyone like bees to lotuses. Now, send a messenger to greet that wise and clear Sugata, and lure him with sweet words, so that he is under your control. According to what they said, she sent a messenger who spoke clearly, and respectfully said to the Sugata: This one who steals the glory of all the chief prostitutes says, please come here as if it were your own home, please take care of us. That's what he said. The Sugata said:

Pa. Since there is no mantra that can control the minds of all beings that has a form like you, I have no other need to come here, I just want to come here. Having said this, he entered the house of the chief courtesan, who was dressed in white and accompanied by a group of servants. There, the chief courtesan, seeing Leg-gro, stood up, happily laughing, looking out of the corner of her eye, displaying various flirtatious and seductive gestures, and speaking various words of desire with the thought of wanting to meet at night. There, Leg-gro spent that night enjoying himself with the chief courtesan, and at dawn, he gave her a pearl necklace worth a hundred thousand. On the second day, he adorned her with gold ornaments. On the third day, he gave her only a small amount of silver ornaments, and the chief courtesan became angry and reported to the king, saying, "I have been treating him with increasing affection every day, so why is Leg-gro becoming less and less pleased?" The king summoned Leg-gro and had him speak with the chief courtesan. That good woman said, "Your Majesty, what is the use of speaking to a heart that has no joy? It is like building a bridge where there is no water. Even if I show joy to Leg-gro, there is no result." The king said, "Give an answer to the king." Leg-gro said, "This woman who is being sold is inherently flawed. Seeing that her body changes at different times, I have given her different ornaments. Just as bees abandon old flowers, people desire things as long as they are pleasing, and when they are old, they abandon them and pursue new ones. Things themselves arise and cease in an instant due to their nature. Youth is taken away by old age, and life is taken away by death, and everything is impermanent. Those who do not understand that the suffering of old age and death steals the stability of the mind become deluded by clinging to what is called a woman, a box of impurity made of bones, and become foolish. The wise consider attachment to women to be the source of many faults."

听了这话,国王赞叹说:“好啊!”那个轮值女官也断除了对姿色和美貌的傲慢,一心一意地进入极度的寂静之中。所有的人众也都改掉了放逸的行为,开始守护戒律。那位菩萨又重新变成了树木的岩石。 再次,往昔世尊自己转世为诸天之王帝释天的时候,在森林的住所里,有一位苦行者居住,野兽和飞鸟等都像弟子一样欢喜地住在他身边。在那里,一头非常可爱的小母象出生了,它与母亲分离后,那位仙人像对待儿子一样慈爱地对待它。小象也拿着莲花的根茎和荷叶等,递到那位贤者的手中。它住在树叶小屋的附近,无论那位仙人去哪里,它都跟随,并将野兽的皮等东西驮在他身上带回来,在仙人的大部分事务中,它都提供帮助。 有一天,小象跟随自己的母亲,在森林里徘徊。那位仙人做完火供等仪式,准备吃饭的时候,寻找小象却没找到。于是他停止了吃饭,看着它的脚印寻找,看到它正在吮吸母亲的乳房,感到非常悲伤。小母象看到仙人后,前去迎接他。那位仙人眼含泪水,用手抚摸着它的头,说:“你吮吸母亲的乳房做什么?喝水,然后到我们居住的地方去吧。”说完,就把它带了回去,为它做了树叶小屋,日夜守护着它,心里非常疼爱它。 菩萨帝释天用天眼看到那位苦行者对小象非常疼爱,产生了强烈的执着,心想:这位贤者舍弃了亲友和令人愉快的事物,住在森林里,却对小象特别执着,没有获得分别的智慧,必须想个办法来调伏他。于是帝释天前往那里,化现成一种致命的疾病,折磨着那个妨碍贤者行善的小象。那位贤者也没有仔细观察,问道:这是怎么回事?

Having heard this, the king praised, saying, "Excellent!" That rotating chief lady also abandoned her pride in form and beauty, and single-mindedly entered into extreme tranquility. All the assemblies of beings also reversed their heedless behavior and began to uphold moral discipline. That Bodhisattva again became the rock of a tree. Furthermore, in a previous life, when the Blessed One himself had become the king of the gods, Indra, there was an ascetic living in a forest dwelling, and wild animals and birds also happily stayed near him like disciples. There, a very adorable baby female elephant was born, and when it was separated from its mother, that sage treated it with affection like a son. The baby elephant also held lotus roots and lotus petals, etc., and offered them into the hands of that sage. It lived near the hut of leaves, and wherever the sage went, it would lead him, and carry back animal skins, etc., on him, and it helped in most of the sage's tasks. One day, the baby elephant followed its mother and wandered into the forest. When that sage had performed fire offerings and was about to eat, he searched for the baby elephant but could not find it. So he stopped eating and, looking at its footprints, searched for it and saw it suckling its mother's breast, and he became sorrowful. The baby female elephant saw the sage and went to greet him. The sage, with tears filling his eyes, stroked its head with his hand and said, "What is the use of you sucking your mother's breast? Drink water and come to our dwelling place." Having led it back, he made a hut of leaves for it and, day and night, with the thought of protecting it, he treated it with great affection. The Bodhisattva Indra, with his divine eye, saw that the ascetic had a very strong attachment to the baby elephant and thought, "This sage has abandoned relatives and pleasing things and lives in the forest, but he is particularly attached to the baby elephant, and not having obtained the power of discriminating wisdom, he must be tamed by some means." So Indra went there and manifested as a deadly disease afflicting the baby elephant, which was hindering the sage's virtuous deeds. That sage, without examining it, asked, "What is this?" and...
