Once upon a time, when the moon, in its stillness, had seen the sun and moon off and returned, no food, drink, or bathing had been prepared. So he said, "Bring water and food," but she said, "It hasn't been prepared." So he became angry and said, "When my brother enters here, I let you be. I cannot but strike you!" As he was about to strike her, the wife said, "Prince, wait a moment and listen to the wisdom of the household." He said, "Speak!" The wife spoke the verse as before, and he said, "What does that mean?" Then the wife said to him, "If you strike me, I will tell you the meaning." He was like a deer struck by an arrow. He said, "Do not strike me, let me go, and do not speak the meaning either!" The Brahmin Chandra Kirti of that time was the Bhagavan, and Chol Zangpa was this aspiration. He said, "Even then, I spoke of nearness and self, and even now, I speak of nearness and self." Furthermore, in a previous life, the Bhagavan himself, having been born into a royal family, was a Bodhisattva named Kesapa or Avaraṇa, skilled in various treatises and possessing qualities such as eloquent speech. He thought, "In what kind of pure livelihood should I abide, so that I may accomplish benefit and happiness for the world?" He considered that kingship is a place of many faults such as arrogance, and commerce is mixed with sin because it is associated with false words. Agriculture is also associated with the suffering of beating oxen and so on. Therefore, he thought that being a doctor is a pure livelihood and that he could accomplish benefit for others. So, he studied medicine and, with very sweet speech and interest in the benefit of others, he healed various diseases of sentient beings. Once, when the husband of a woman had died of illness, that woman wept and called out to her husband, lamenting, "Where have you gone?" She was possessed by a spirit and became insane. She came back to her own house and said, "My husband is alive!" Without weeping, she embraced his corpse and said, "Why don't you speak to me today? If you want another woman, go, and I will not hinder you." And she said, "Open your eyes!" Opening his eyes with her fingers and so on, she spoke various nonsense and then went home.

在人们都已入睡的夜晚，她将丈夫的尸体扛在肩上，在山间和坟地里四处游荡，把尸体当作真正的丈夫，对它说各种各样的话，并且亲吻它。渐渐地，尸体腐烂，只剩下一堆骨头，但她仍然没有抛弃它，而是珍爱地对待它。太阳炎热时，她会说“我的家人累了”，然后给骨头洗澡，用鲜花编织花环等等，就像对待活人一样，亲吻它，对它说甜言蜜语，用尊敬和亲切的语言与它交谈，四处游荡。夜晚时，她会用鲜花和沉香的香味熏香床铺，然后说：“高贵的儿子，请来这里，请坐在这张床上”，然后把骨头放在床上，拥抱着它睡觉。菩萨和包括学生在内的人们看到了她的这种行为后，说道：“唉，这种虚假的妄想竟然使她如此愚昧，我也要用方法来医治她。”学生们说：“有智慧的人有什么做不到的呢？”他们感到非常惊讶。之后，菩萨以慈悲之心在夜晚前往那个女人所在的令人恐惧的坟地。在那里，他看到可怕的食肉女鬼遍布那个地方，于是用守护咒语为学生们束起发髻。他心想：人们所执着和珍爱的女人身体，就是坟地里清晰可见的这些散发着恶臭的尸体啊。对于这样的东西，竟然拥抱和执着，真是太迷惑了。他被慈悲心所压倒。之后，他询问学生，在黎明到来之际，他说：“你们为了医治病人，去城市吧。我要用方法来使这个女人坚定。”说完，他就派遣了学生。菩萨寻找着那个拥有丈夫尸体的女人。这时，那个年轻的女子起身，拿着丈夫的尸体，前往河边。菩萨看到她留下的床铺，知道她去了哪里，于是看到她正走向河边。于是，菩萨扛起一具女人的骨架，跟随着她。那个女人把骨架放在河边的树

In the night when people were asleep, she carried her husband's corpse on her shoulder and wandered around the mountains and cemeteries, thinking of the corpse as her real husband, speaking all kinds of words to it and kissing it. Gradually, the corpse rotted and became just a pile of bones, but she still did not abandon it, but treated it with affection. When the sun was hot, she would say, "My family is tired," and then bathe the bones, weave garlands of flowers, etc., just as she would treat a living person, kissing it, speaking sweet words to it, talking to it with respectful and affectionate words, and wandering around. At night, she would perfume the bed with flowers and the scent of agarwood, and then say, "Noble son, please come here, please sit on this bed," and then place the bones on the bed and sleep embracing it. When the Bodhisattva and the people, including the students, saw her behavior, they said, "Alas, this false delusion has made her so ignorant, I must also use a method to cure her." The students said, "What is there that wise people cannot do?" They were very surprised. After that, the Bodhisattva, with a compassionate heart, went at night to the terrifying cemetery where the woman was. There, he saw terrifying flesh-eating female ghosts spread all over the place, so he tied up the students' hair with a protective mantra. He thought: The body of a woman that people are attached to and cherish is these foul-smelling corpses that are clearly visible in the cemetery. To embrace and be attached to such a thing is truly deluded. He was overwhelmed by compassion. After that, he asked the students, and at the break of dawn, he said, "You go to the city to heal the sick. I will use a method to make this woman steadfast." After saying that, he sent the students away. The Bodhisattva was searching for the woman who possessed her husband's corpse. At this time, the young woman got up, took her husband's corpse, and went to the riverbank. The Bodhisattva saw the bed she had left behind, knew where she had gone, and then saw that she was going to the river. So, the Bodhisattva carried a woman's skeleton on his shoulder and followed her. The woman placed the skeleton on a tree by the river.

捆在树上后，（她说）：“暂且让圣子停留片刻。我取洗脸的水来，为你洗脸，并装饰你那动人的眼睛。”说完，她朝水边走去。当她看到自己的影子倒映在水中时，心想：“这个美人会抢走我的丈夫。”于是对影子说了各种难听的话。最后，她愤怒地用石头砸影子，但影子没有消失。她对自己的影子说：“如果你不走，我就带着圣子走，让你再也见不到他。”说完，她把骷髅放在肩上离开了。她看到迦叶波，心想：“我应该问问这个男人，他为什么要带着女人逃跑。”于是对迦叶波说：“你为什么怀疑我和丈夫一起走，而要逃跑呢？我不是食肉的女人，放下疑虑，说吧。”菩萨说：“姐妹，我不是害怕你。而是带着这个不想要其他男人的妻子，到没有人的地方去。我的这个女人非常美丽，连天神都感到高兴，我害怕她被你的丈夫抢走，所以才逃跑。我的爱人不爱其他男人，看到你的丈夫后，羞愧地闭上了眼睛。我带着她，要在山洞里长久居住。”那个女人说：“圣者，不必如此怀疑。正如你的妻子品行端正，不想要其他男人一样，我的爱人也同样品行端正。行为一致的人是朋友，这样很好。”菩萨说：“如果你是安于丈夫行为的女人，那我们就在这条河边一起住吧。”说完，迦叶波把骷髅放在河边的树旁，开始装饰它，那个女人也开始装饰丈夫的骷髅，当他们都睡着的时候，菩萨把骷髅的脖子用绳子拴住，慢慢地拿走扔到河里，发出‘哈！哈！’等声音，以及悲伤的声音。

After tying (him) to a tree, (she said), "Wait a moment, noble son. I will fetch water to wash your face, and adorn your lovely eyes." Having said this, she went towards the water. When she saw her own reflection in the water, she thought, "This beautiful woman will steal my husband." So she spoke various harsh words to the reflection. Finally, she angrily threw stones at the reflection, but it did not disappear. She said to her own reflection, "If you don't leave, I will take the noble son and leave, so that you will never see him again." Having said this to her reflection, she put the skeleton on her shoulder and left. She saw Kashyapa and thought, "I should ask this man why he is holding a woman and running away from others." So she said to Kashyapa, "Why are you running away, suspecting that I am going with my husband? I am not a flesh-eating woman, so put aside your doubts and speak." The Bodhisattva said, "Sister, I am not afraid of you. But I am taking this wife who does not want other men to a place where there are no people. This woman of mine is so beautiful that even the gods are delighted, and I am afraid that she will be stolen by your husband, so I am running away. My beloved does not love other men, and when she saw your husband, she closed her eyes in shame. I will take her and live in a mountain cave for a long time." That woman said, "Noble one, there is no need for such suspicion. Just as your wife is virtuous and does not want other men, my beloved is also virtuous. Those who have the same conduct are friends, so it is good." The Bodhisattva said, "If you are a woman who abides by the conduct of her husband, then let us live together by this river." Having said this, Kashyapa put the skeleton by a tree on the riverbank and began to decorate it, and that woman also began to decorate her husband's skeleton, and when they both fell asleep, the Bodhisattva tied the skeleton's neck with a rope, slowly took it away and threw it into the river, making sounds like 'Ha! Ha!' and sounds of sorrow.

讲述者唤醒那个女子后，（女子）说：“你的主人抢走了我的爱人，哎呀，可怜啊！”他们两个看到两具骨骸都被水冲走了，就说：“哎呀，哈哈！”然后沿着河边跑来跑去。这时，那个女子眼含泪水说道：“我一直以来都打扮你，恭敬你，不断地爱着你，今天你抢走了别人的家庭，像无果的毒药一样，你没有为我着想啊！”像这样，一会儿愤怒，一会儿充满悲伤，一会儿发出哀嚎。菩萨对她说：“像这样， 因为无耻而哭泣，为了失去快乐的事而哭泣是没有意义的。你不是说过你的丈夫不想要其他女人吗？你那恶劣的丈夫抢走了我非常可爱的美人，让我变得空虚，失去了依靠。让她快点回来！”她发出哀嚎。那个女子用衣服勒住脖子，（说）“那位尊者不可能回来了，我有一个我丈夫的女儿，长相可爱，可以送给你。”菩萨说：“我不需要除了我那拥有绝世容颜的妻子之外的其他天女。如果她不回来，我就用这块大石头把你的头砸成粉末！”他愤怒地拿起一块大石头，准备打那个女子，那个女子吓得抱住他的脚，（说）“我是个贫穷无依的女子，请您原谅我的过错，不要杀我。”菩萨对她说：“如果你不违背我的话，我就不会用石头打你，你也会变得快乐。”她答应说：“就这样做。”菩萨说：“把你背在肩上，你死去的丈夫的骨头，那个完全被丈夫所迷惑的骨头扔掉吧！一切众生都会死亡，山和海洋，如意树，天人和非天人，人类的财富也都是无常的。像这样，一切有为法都是无常的，所以要对世间生起厌离心。亲眷

After the narrator woke up the woman, (the woman) said, "Your master has stolen my lover, alas, how pitiful!" The two of them saw that both skeletons had been washed away by the water, and said, "Alas, haha!" Then they ran back and forth along the riverbank. At this time, the woman said with tears in her eyes, "I have always adorned you, respected you, and constantly loved you, but today you have stolen someone else's family, like a fruitless poison, you have not thought of me!" Like this, one moment angry, one moment full of sorrow, one moment wailing. The Bodhisattva said to her, "Like this, crying because of shamelessness, crying for the loss of happiness is meaningless. Didn't you say that your husband doesn't want other women? That evil husband of yours stole my very lovely beauty, making me empty and losing my support. Let her come back quickly!" She wailed. The woman strangled her neck with her clothes, (saying) "That venerable one cannot come back, I have a daughter of my husband, with a lovely appearance, I can give her to you." The Bodhisattva said, "I don't need other goddesses besides my wife who has a peerless face. If she doesn't come back, I will smash your head into powder with this big stone!" He angrily picked up a big stone, preparing to hit the woman, the woman was so scared that she hugged his feet, (saying) "I am a poor and helpless woman, please forgive my mistakes, do not kill me." The Bodhisattva said to her, "If you do not disobey my words, I will not hit you with a stone, and you will also become happy." She promised, "Just do it like that." The Bodhisattva said, "Throw away the bones of your dead husband that you carry on your shoulder, the bones that are completely infatuated with your husband! All beings will die, mountains and oceans, wish-fulfilling trees, gods and non-gods, the wealth of humans are also impermanent. Like this, all conditioned phenomena are impermanent, so generate renunciation towards the world. Relatives
