在清净的佛塔前，舍弃了马、装饰和食物等欲望，发誓永不返回。若未获得无死的最胜境界，若未获得不死的殊胜菩提，我将面向鹿野苑，不行住坐卧之事。说完，亲自剃除头发，从净居天的天子处取了袈裟，制作成法衣，圆满了出家的比丘戒。之后，为了显示外道的神和不正的行为，听闻了世间被称为最大诀窍的幻术师之子长髻，以及悦意之子乐行等人一无所有的教导，以及宣讲无所有处定的诀窍，朋友们驳斥说：‘你的法并非解脱之道。’于是与完全断绝了他们的五比丘为伴，达到了智慧的顶峰。第八大事业是苦行。为了驳斥那些认为持戒和苦行至上，并以苦行寻求清净的人，在进入安乐之地的尼连禅河边断食断水，以禁欲的行为，于六年间安住于虚空般的禅定中。那时，三世诸佛劝诫说：‘难道不明白诸法的真如，仅仅通过苦行就能成佛吗？’于是将身体安住于彼处，心识进入受用身的形态，在须弥山顶宣说了四部瑜伽续。之后，从苦行的腹中出来，身体消瘦，牧牛女供养了柔和的酸奶，身体恢复了光泽。商人的女儿用一百个吉祥日所产的牛奶熬制成乳粥，供养了新米和牛奶粥。之后，菩萨为了使身体凉爽，在尼连禅河中沐浴。之后，蜜蜂之王供养了蜂蜜。食用后，身体如同擦拭过的黄金一般。第九大事业是降伏魔众。对卖草的吉祥者说：吉祥者，请迅速给我草。今天我需要用草成就大事。摧毁魔众及其军队后，我将获得菩提与寂静。说完，取了吉祥草

Before the pure stupa, he relinquished desires for horses, ornaments, and food, vowing never to return. Until I attain the supreme state of immortality, until I attain the sacred, deathless enlightenment, I shall face the Deer Park, and I shall not walk, stay, sit, or lie down. Having spoken thus, he shaved his own head and received monastic robes from the son of the pure abode gods, making them into Dharma garments, and completed the ordination of a fully ordained monk. Then, to demonstrate that the gods and practices of the outsiders are not the way, he listened to the teachings of those known in the world as having great instructions, such as Long Hair, the son of the illusionist, and Delightful Conduct, the son of Satisfaction, who taught nothingness, and the instructions teaching the realm of neither perception nor non-perception. His friends refuted him, saying, 'Your Dharma is not a path to liberation.' Then, associating with the five ascetics who had completely abandoned them, he reached the peak of knowledge. The eighth great deed is practicing austerities. To refute those who hold ethical discipline and asceticism as supreme and seek purification through suffering, he fasted from food and drink on the banks of the Nairanjana River, entering into sky-like samadhi for six years through the practice of asceticism. Then, the Buddhas of the three times urged him, saying, 'Do you not understand the suchness of all dharmas? Can one become a Buddha merely through practicing austerities?' Then, keeping his body in that state, his mind entered the form of the enjoyment body, and he taught the tantras of the four parts of yoga on the summit of Mount Meru. Afterwards, emerging from the midst of austerities, his body emaciated, a cowherd girl offered him soft yogurt, and his body regained its radiance. The daughter of a merchant poured the milk produced in one hundred auspicious days into a single container and offered him fresh rice and milk porridge cooked together. Then, the Bodhisattva bathed in the Nairanjana River to cool his body. Then, the king of the bees offered honey. Having consumed it, his body became like polished gold. The ninth great deed is subduing the maras. He said to the grass seller, Auspicious One: Auspicious One, quickly give me grass. Today, through this grass, I will accomplish a great purpose. Having destroyed the maras and their armies, I shall attain enlightenment and peace. Having spoken thus, he took kusha grass.

取来像孔雀颈项般碧蓝柔滑，绿叶向右旋绕的一捧草，将其铺在菩提树下未被磨损的地方。结跏趺坐后，如是说道：‘于此座上，我的身体或将枯萎，皮肉骨骼之众皆可坏灭，然若未得百千劫难遇之菩提，我决不离此座而动摇。’立下誓言后，十方菩萨聚集，供养并绕行。又从眉间放出名为‘摧伏魔众’的光芒，此光遍布三千世界的所有魔众，并从光中发出偈颂：‘众生清净累劫行，净饭王子舍王位，为求利益甘露而现身，今日务必于菩提树下努力。’与此同时，恶魔们也出现了七十二种不祥之兆，包括自己的领地被黑暗笼罩等等。六十种魔军聚集，夜叉鸠槃荼和食粪鬼的形象，罗刹的形象和食肉饿鬼的形象，世间丑陋可憎的形象，所有这些都以幻术在那里显现。并且，从四面八方幻化出山脉的连绵山脉，以及从空中降下猛烈的兵器之雨。他们还显现出燃烧的嗔怒，并说道：‘一定要将这个释迦之子化为灰烬！’虽然他们摆出极其丑陋的姿态，发出各种各样的怒吼，但对菩萨没有丝毫的畏惧。即使他们猛烈地投掷兵器等等，慈悲的能仁的身体，也无法被火焰、毒药和兵器所伤。投掷的兵器都变成了鲜花。他们说道：‘他就是这样为了菩提而禅修的。’以这样的方式，他们未能造成伤害。一千个恶魔之子中，智慧贤善者和邪恶者等，最初分成了两派。因为分裂，未能战胜菩萨。恶魔又说：‘我以前从未做过供养布施，你就是我的见证人。但你在这里没有任何见证人，声音也没有见证。’

He took a handful of grass, blue and smooth like a peacock's neck, with green leaves spiraling to the right, and spread it under the Bodhi tree in an unblemished spot. Sitting in the lotus position, he spoke thus: 'On this seat, may my body wither, may the assembly of skin, flesh, and bones disintegrate, but until I attain the Bodhi that is difficult to find in many eons, I shall not move from this seat.' Having made this vow, Bodhisattvas from the ten directions gathered, made offerings, and circumambulated. Furthermore, a ray of light called 'Subduing the Maras' emanated from between his eyebrows, pervading all the Maras of the three thousand worlds, and from the light came forth a verse: 'Beings purified, practicing for many eons, the son of Śuddhodana, abandoning his kingdom, desiring the nectar of benefit, has manifested himself, today he must strive under the Bodhi tree.' At the same time, the wicked Maras experienced seventy-two inauspicious omens, including their own territories being enveloped in darkness. Sixty kinds of Mara armies gathered, the forms of Yaksha Kumbhanda and scatophagous ghosts, the forms of Rakshasas and flesh-eating hungry ghosts, countless ugly and repulsive forms of the world, all of these were manifested there through illusion. And, from all directions, mountain ranges were conjured, and a rain of fierce weapons fell from the sky. They also manifested burning wrath, and said: 'We must reduce this son of Shakya to ashes!' Although they displayed extremely hideous appearances and uttered various roars, they had no fear of the Bodhisattva. Even when they fiercely hurled weapons and the like, the body of the compassionate Sage was unharmed by fire, poison, or weapons. The hurled weapons turned into flowers. They said: 'Thus he meditates for Bodhi.' In this way, they failed to cause harm. Out of a thousand sons of Mara, the wise and virtuous and the wicked and so on, initially split into two factions. Because of the division, they could not overcome the Bodhisattva. The Mara then said: 'I have never made offerings or donations before, you are my witness. But you have no witness here, and even the sound has no witness.'
