诸菩萨， 为最尊师。 孰有智者， 而舍之去？ 两足之尊， 上福之田， 欲得生天， 施此众祐。 若惠与者， 果报无量， 所可游处， 终不损耗。 顺斯等教， 具足相好， 是善福田， 志性清净。 假使梵志， 发欢悦心， 则当逮得， 安隐离俗。 遵修道教， 志未曾乱， 而行分卫， 常观精进。 所可游居， 善护诸根， 诸根寂定， 斯众如海。 江海之水， 尚可升量， 十方土地， 亦可步度。 若有布施， 人中之王， 一切所行， 不可称量。 劫烧之时， 须弥山坏， 江海枯竭， 及所有地。 其有奉施， 众人尊王， 劫虽被灾， 福不可烧。” 于是梵志，为离垢施而报颂曰： “无得自恣， 从愚戆心。 莫祠祀时， 愿乐比丘。 斯等髡头， 而被袈裟， 若志安解， 不习此党。 恐女父母， 不以欢悦， 吾等当启， 于大明王。 女所祠祀， 则亦不祥。 善哉尊女， 莫受比丘。” 于是离垢施，以偈报梵志曰： “若堕恶趣， 生死之难， 虽有父母， 不能救济。 亦无余人， 及财神咒， 现代汉语译本 诸位菩萨（菩萨：指发愿要救度一切众生的人），是最值得尊敬的导师。 哪个有智慧的人，会舍弃他们而去呢？他们是两足之尊（两足之尊：指佛陀，也指修行者），是无上福田（福田：指能让人种福报的场所或对象），想要升天的人，应当布施给这些受人尊敬的人。 如果有人布施给他们，所得到的果报是无量的，他们所游历之处，最终不会有任何损耗。遵循这些教导，具足美好的相貌，他们是善良的福田，心性清净。即使是婆罗门（梵志：指婆罗门教的修行者），如果能生起欢喜心，也应当能够获得安稳，脱离世俗。 他们遵循修行之道，心志从未散乱，并且行乞化缘，常常观察精进。他们所居住的地方，善于守护自己的六根（六根：指眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意），六根寂静安定，这样的僧众如同大海一般。江海之水，尚且可以测量，十方土地，也可以用脚步丈量。 如果有人布施给，人中之王（人中之王：指佛陀或修行者），他的一切行为，是不可称量的。劫火燃烧的时候，须弥山（须弥山：佛教宇宙观中的中心山）会崩坏，江海会枯竭，以及所有的大地都会毁灭。如果有人供奉布施，给受人尊敬的僧众，即使遭遇劫难，所获得的福报也不会被烧毁。 这时，婆罗门为了阻止离垢施（离垢施：人名，此处指一位女性）的布施，而用偈颂说道： 不要放纵自己，听从愚蠢的心。不要在祭祀的时候，喜欢那些比丘（比丘：指佛教出家男子）。这些剃光头的人，穿着袈裟，如果心志安稳，就不会学习这些党派。恐怕你的父母，不会因此而高兴，我们应当禀告大明王（大明王：指当时的国王）。你的祭祀，也会变得不吉祥。善良的尊贵女子，不要接受比丘的布施。 这时，离垢施用偈颂回答婆罗门说： 如果堕入恶道，遭受生死轮回的苦难，即使有父母，也不能救济。也没有其他人，以及财富和咒语，能够救助。

English version The Bodhisattvas (Bodhisattvas: beings who have vowed to save all sentient beings) are the most venerable teachers. Which wise person would abandon them? They are the honored ones among bipeds (honored ones among bipeds: refers to the Buddha, also refers to practitioners), the supreme fields of merit (fields of merit: refers to places or objects that allow people to cultivate blessings), those who wish to be reborn in heaven should give alms to these venerable ones. If someone gives alms to them, the resulting karmic rewards are immeasurable, and the places they travel will ultimately not be diminished. Following these teachings, possessing beautiful appearances, they are virtuous fields of merit, with pure minds. Even Brahmins (Brahmins: refers to practitioners of Brahmanism), if they can generate a joyful heart, should be able to attain peace and detachment from the mundane. They follow the path of practice, their minds never wavering, and they go begging for alms, constantly observing diligence. The places they reside, they are good at guarding their six senses (six senses: refers to eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind), the six senses are tranquil and stable, such a sangha (sangha: Buddhist monastic community) is like the ocean. The water of rivers and seas can still be measured, and the lands of the ten directions can also be measured by steps. If someone gives alms to the king among men (king among men: refers to the Buddha or practitioners), all his actions are immeasurable. When the fire of the kalpa (kalpa: a long period of time in Buddhist cosmology) burns, Mount Sumeru (Mount Sumeru: the central mountain in Buddhist cosmology) will collapse, the rivers and seas will dry up, and all the lands will be destroyed. If someone makes offerings and gives alms to the venerable sangha, even if they encounter the calamity of the kalpa, the blessings they have gained will not be burned away. At this time, the Brahmin, in order to stop Li Gou Shi (Li Gou Shi: a person's name, here refers to a woman) from giving alms, spoke in verse: Do not indulge yourself, listening to a foolish heart. Do not, during the time of sacrifice, favor those Bhikkhus (Bhikkhus: refers to Buddhist monks). These shaven-headed ones, wearing robes, if their minds are stable, they would not learn from these parties. I fear your parents will not be pleased, we should report to the Great King (Great King: refers to the king at the time). Your sacrifices will also become inauspicious. Good and noble woman, do not accept the alms of the Bhikkhus. At this time, Li Gou Shi replied to the Brahmin in verse: If one falls into evil realms, suffering the difficulties of the cycle of birth and death, even if one has parents, they cannot save them. There is no one else, nor wealth or mantras, that can help. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 独斯等类， 乃能救脱。 吾弃捐身， 散在四方， 钦乐爱敬， 自归于佛。 终不希望， 余人之救， 唯当依附， 三尊宝耳。 譬如失目， 而瞻明镜。 外道异学， 若斯无益。 梵志犹如， 须弥山烧。 博闻如是， 力脱为要。 未曾乏少， 于博闻慧， 所可闻者， 悉为备具。 若能听闻， 即奉行者， 此乃为持， 一切难及。”

于是梵志谓离垢施女：“初未曾见于尊佛及比丘众，从何因缘而生欢悦？” 女即答曰：“梵志！欲知？我初生时，母以我着金宝床上，上虚空中五百天子而共飞行，我适见之；以无数事叹佛功德及法圣众，适闻音声。时于众中有一天子，初未曾见如来至真，问诸天子：‘所叹如来，德何所类？’时诸天子察我心念，志怀笃信，即说此偈，而赞叹佛： “‘头发绀青色， 净好而右旋， 如水百叶莲； 犹月满盛明； 白毛眉中回， 犹如雪之光； 胜眼如青莲， 若蜂中之王； 人中尊师子， 唇像若赤朱， 眉睫甚细妙， 平正而善姝， 广长舌覆面， 乃至于发际。 其教清和悦， 充可智者意， 其声如钟鼓， 箜篌笳笛笙， 现代汉语译本 只有像我这样的人，才能得到救脱。我舍弃自身，散落在四方，敬仰爱戴，自己归依于佛。我终不希望其他人的救助，唯当依附于佛、法、僧三宝。譬如失明之人，却要看明镜。外道异学，就像这样毫无益处。婆罗门就像须弥山被烧毁一样。博闻广识固然重要，但努力解脱才是关键。我从未缺少博闻的智慧，所能听闻的，都已完备。如果能够听闻佛法，并且奉行实践，这才是真正难以企及的坚持。 于是，婆罗门问离垢施女：‘我从未见过你所说的佛和比丘僧众，你为何如此欢喜？’ 女子回答说：‘婆罗门，你想知道吗？我刚出生时，母亲把我放在金宝床上，当时有五百天子在空中飞行，我恰好看到他们；他们用无数的事迹赞叹佛的功德和僧众的圣洁，我恰好听到了这些声音。当时，天子中有一位，从未见过如来至真，他问其他天子：‘你们所赞叹的如来，他的德行是怎样的？’当时，天子们察觉到我心中怀有坚定的信仰，就说了这首偈颂，赞叹佛陀： ‘头发是绀青色的，洁净美好且向右旋转，像水中盛开的百叶莲；又像满月一样光明；眉毛中间的白毫，像雪一样洁白；眼睛像青莲花一样美丽，如同蜂王一般；人中尊贵的狮子，嘴唇像红色的朱砂；眉毛和睫毛非常细致美妙，平正而端庄；广长的舌头可以覆盖整个面部，甚至到达发际。他的教诲清净平和，能满足智者的心意，他的声音像钟鼓，又像箜篌、笳笛、笙等乐器。’

English version Only those like me can attain liberation. I have abandoned myself, scattered in all directions, revering and loving, and have taken refuge in the Buddha. I do not hope for salvation from others; I should only rely on the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha). It is like a blind person trying to see with a clear mirror. External paths and different teachings are as useless as this. A Brahmin is like Mount Sumeru being burned. While extensive learning is important, striving for liberation is crucial. I have never lacked wisdom from extensive learning; all that can be heard, I have fully acquired. If one can hear the Dharma and practice it, this is truly an unsurpassed perseverance. Then, the Brahmin asked the maiden, Li Gou Shi: 'I have never seen the Buddha or the assembly of Bhikkhus you speak of, why are you so joyful?' The maiden replied: 'Brahmin, do you wish to know? When I was born, my mother placed me on a golden bed, and five hundred devas were flying in the sky, I happened to see them; they praised the virtues of the Buddha and the holiness of the Sangha with countless deeds, and I happened to hear these sounds. At that time, one of the devas, who had never seen the Tathagata (the Truth-finder), asked the other devas: 'What are the virtues of the Tathagata you praise?' At that time, the devas perceived that I had a firm faith in my heart, and they spoke this verse, praising the Buddha: 'His hair is dark blue, pure and beautiful, and curls to the right, like a hundred-petaled lotus in the water; it is like the full moon, bright and full; the white hair between his eyebrows is as white as snow; his eyes are as beautiful as blue lotuses, like the king of bees; the noble lion among men, his lips are like red cinnabar; his eyebrows and eyelashes are very delicate and wonderful, even and dignified; his long tongue can cover his entire face, even reaching his hairline. His teachings are pure and peaceful, satisfying the minds of the wise, his voice is like bells and drums, and like the sounds of the konghou (a Chinese harp), the jia (a reed pipe), the flute, and the sheng (a Chinese mouth organ).' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 其音和且雅， 犹如琴瑟筝， 哀鸾真陀乐。 莺鸟及鹍鸡， 赤㭰鸣于林， 最胜音超彼， 辞若师子吼， 妙声坏众病。 已离诸垢秽， 言诚断诸见， 行游若坐众， 闻者悉解释。 所言无缺漏， 可悦一切人， 胜己舍中边， 犹如寂灭度。 言辞无慢恣， 形体甚奇妙， 辞质无谄饰， 皆为众说行。 如集华为鬘， 佛慧音如是。 诸念悉丰满， 胜臂过于膝， 其掌正且均， 手指纤长好。 巍巍身坚固， 宝容若紫金， 佛体显如日， 远现悉闻音。 毛软亦绀色， 一一生上旋， 𦟛髀犹龙象， 而膝平博好。 安平足如画， 于下生相轮， 称佛德如是。’ 我时粗听闻， 在世无所慕， 度于诸有处， 大哀上良医， 救济众生务， 断除诸系缚， 无著如莲华。 梵志我从天， 闻叹佛若此。”

离垢施女谓梵志：“我从诸天闻如是比叹佛功德，从是以来不自识念而复睡眠，亦复无有淫怒愚痴危害之想；从是以来不自识念贪着父母兄弟姊妹亲属知识，亦不爱念璎珞衣服及身寿命，国城游观；唯独恭恪，念佛大圣。梵志！当知，以是之 现代汉语译本 他的声音和谐而优雅，如同琴瑟筝等乐器，又如哀鸾（一种传说中的鸟）和真陀乐（一种乐器）的乐声。还有莺鸟和鹍鸡的鸣叫，以及赤㭰（一种鸟）在林中的啼鸣，但佛陀的声音最为殊胜，超越了它们。他的言辞如同狮子的吼声，美妙的声音能消除众生的疾病。他已远离一切污垢，言语真实，能断除各种错误的见解。无论行走、游历还是坐于人群之中，听到他声音的人都能得到开解。他的言语没有缺失和遗漏，能使一切人感到愉悦。他超越了自我，舍弃了中道和边见，如同达到了寂灭的境界。他的言辞没有傲慢和放纵，形体极其奇妙。他的言辞质朴，没有谄媚和虚饰，所说的一切都是为了教导众生修行。如同用鲜花编织成花环，佛陀的智慧之音也是如此。他的念头充满智慧，手臂胜过膝盖，手掌端正而匀称，手指纤细而美好。他身躯巍峨而坚固，容貌如同紫金一般光彩夺目。佛陀的身体如同太阳一般显耀，即使在远处也能听到他的声音。他的毛发柔软且呈绀色，每一根都向上盘旋。他的𦟛髀（大腿）如同龙象一般有力，膝盖平坦而宽阔。他的脚底平稳如画，脚下生有轮相。佛陀的功德就是如此。我当时只是粗略地听闻，便对世间的一切不再留恋，超越了各种存在的境界。他如同伟大的良医，以大慈悲心救济众生，断除一切束缚，无所执着，如同莲花一般。梵志，我从天界听闻对佛陀的赞叹就是如此。” 离垢施女对梵志说：‘我从诸天那里听到如此赞叹佛陀功德的话语，从那时起，我不再有睡眠的念头，也没有淫欲、愤怒、愚痴和危害他人的想法；从那时起，我不再执着于父母、兄弟姐妹、亲属和朋友，也不再爱恋璎珞、衣服、身体寿命、国家城市和游览观光；我只恭敬地思念佛陀这位大圣人。梵志，你应该知道，因为这些原因，我……’

English version His voice is harmonious and elegant, like the sounds of the qin (a zither-like instrument), se (another zither-like instrument), and zheng (a plucked string instrument), and like the sounds of the sorrowful luan (a mythical bird) and the zhentuo music (a type of music). There are also the calls of the orioles and the kunji (a type of bird), and the cries of the red-necked pheasant in the forest, but the Buddha's voice is the most supreme, surpassing them all. His words are like the roar of a lion, and his wonderful voice can eliminate the diseases of sentient beings. He has already left behind all defilements, his words are truthful, and he can cut off all wrong views. Whether walking, traveling, or sitting among the crowd, those who hear his voice can be enlightened. His words have no omissions or deficiencies, and can please everyone. He has transcended the self, abandoned the middle way and extreme views, and is like reaching the state of nirvana. His words are without arrogance or indulgence, and his form is extremely wonderful. His words are simple, without flattery or embellishment, and everything he says is to teach sentient beings to practice. Like weaving a garland with flowers, the Buddha's wisdom-sound is also like this. His thoughts are full of wisdom, his arms surpass his knees, his palms are upright and even, and his fingers are slender and beautiful. His body is majestic and firm, and his appearance is as radiant as purple gold. The Buddha's body shines like the sun, and even from afar, his voice can be heard. His hair is soft and dark blue, and each strand spirals upwards. His thighs are as powerful as those of a dragon or an elephant, and his knees are flat and broad. His feet are as smooth as a painting, and the wheel mark appears on the soles of his feet. Such are the merits of the Buddha. I only heard it roughly at that time, and I no longer yearned for anything in the world, and I transcended all realms of existence. He is like a great physician, who with great compassion saves sentient beings, cuts off all bonds, and is unattached, like a lotus flower. Brahmin, this is how I heard the praises of the Buddha from the heavens.” The maiden Ligoushi said to the Brahmin: 'I heard such praises of the Buddha's merits from the heavens, and since then, I have no thoughts of sleep, nor do I have thoughts of lust, anger, ignorance, or harming others; since then, I no longer cling to my parents, siblings, relatives, and friends, nor do I love jewelry, clothes, the lifespan of my body, the cities of the country, or sightseeing; I only respectfully think of the Buddha, the great sage. Brahmin, you should know that because of these reasons, I...' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
