斯光已，至明旦时，往诣佛所，到已白言：“大沙门！夜中何故上方光来广大照耀？” 世尊告言：“夜中所现上方光者，是彼帝释天主，来礼我足，彼身光明，照耀如是。” 迦叶尔时即作是念：“彼之名字，我等虽闻，而不能见，况复能来礼沙门足？我观是事，希有难得。”乃发净信：“我出家心，岂可止耶！” 第六夜中，四方四大天王、上方帝释天主，俱诣佛所，恭敬礼足，四王身光，四方互照；帝释身光，上方照耀。然彼诸光，悉于世尊三摩地光中之所收摄。 迦叶是夜睹斯光已，至明旦时，往诣佛所，到已白言：“大沙门！夜中何故四方光来，及彼上方光来照耀？” 世尊告言：“夜中所现四方光者，是彼四方天王；上方光者，是帝释天主；俱来礼足，彼诸身光，照耀如是。” 迦叶尔时即作是念：“五方俱来，礼沙门足，我观是事，希有难得。”乃发净信：“我出家心，岂可止耶！” 复次，世尊谓迦叶言：“汝今为我，于庵摩勒林中，取彼果来。”迦叶以佛威神力故，如言即取持以奉佛。 世尊又言：“汝于呵梨勒林中，取彼药来。”迦叶如言取以奉佛。 世尊又言：“汝于赡部树，先取其果，次复可取随应知者种种果来。”迦叶如言取以 现代汉语译本：斯光（Śrīghra）看见这种光芒后，到了第二天早上，前往佛陀所在的地方，到达后禀告说：‘伟大的沙门（Śrāmaṇa）！昨夜为何上方有如此广大光芒照耀？’ 世尊（Buddha）告诉他说：‘昨夜所出现的上方光芒，是帝释天主（Indra），前来礼拜我的双足，他的身光照耀就是这样。’ 迦叶（Kāśyapa）当时就想：‘他们的名字，我们虽然听过，却不能得见，更何况是前来礼拜沙门的双足？我看这件事，真是稀有难得。’于是发起清净的信心：‘我出家的心，怎么可以停止呢！’ 第六夜，四方四大天王（Caturmahārājakāyikas）、上方的帝释天主，一同来到佛陀所在的地方，恭敬地礼拜佛足，四大天王的身光，四方互相照耀；帝释的身光，上方照耀。然而这些光芒，都被世尊在三摩地（Samādhi）中的光明所摄受。 迦叶这夜看见这种光芒后，到了第二天早上，前往佛陀所在的地方，到达后禀告说：‘伟大的沙门！昨夜为何四方有光芒前来，以及上方光芒前来照耀？’ 世尊告诉他说：‘昨夜所出现的四方光芒，是四方天王；上方的光芒，是帝释天主；他们都前来礼拜我的双足，他们的身光，照耀就是这样。’ 迦叶当时就想：‘五方都前来，礼拜沙门的双足，我看这件事，真是稀有难得。’于是发起清净的信心：‘我出家的心，怎么可以停止呢！’ 再次，世尊对迦叶说：‘你现在为我，在庵摩勒（Āmra）林中，取那里的果实来。’迦叶因为佛陀的威神力，如佛所说，立刻取来奉献给佛陀。 世尊又说：‘你在呵梨勒（Haritaki）林中，取那里的药来。’迦叶如佛所说，取来奉献给佛陀。 世尊又说：‘你在赡部（Jambudvīpa）树，先取它的果实，然后可以取你认为合适的各种果实来。’迦叶如佛所说，取来。

English version: Śrīghra, having seen this light, went to the place where the Buddha was the next morning, and upon arriving, reported: 'Great Śrāmaṇa! Why was there such a great light shining from above last night?' The Buddha told him: 'The light from above that appeared last night was Indra, who came to worship my feet, and his bodily light shone like that.' Kāśyapa then thought: 'Although we have heard their names, we cannot see them, let alone come to worship the feet of the Śrāmaṇa? I see this matter as rare and difficult to obtain.' Then he developed pure faith: 'How can my mind to renounce ever stop!' On the sixth night, the Four Great Kings (Caturmahārājakāyikas) of the four directions and Indra from above all came to the place where the Buddha was, respectfully worshiping the Buddha's feet. The bodily lights of the Four Great Kings shone mutually in the four directions; Indra's bodily light shone from above. However, all these lights were absorbed by the light of the Buddha in Samādhi. Kāśyapa, having seen this light that night, went to the place where the Buddha was the next morning, and upon arriving, reported: 'Great Śrāmaṇa! Why did the lights from the four directions come last night, and the light from above come to shine?' The Buddha told him: 'The lights from the four directions that appeared last night were the Four Heavenly Kings; the light from above was Indra; they all came to worship my feet, and their bodily lights shone like that.' Kāśyapa then thought: 'All five directions have come to worship the feet of the Śrāmaṇa, I see this matter as rare and difficult to obtain.' Then he developed pure faith: 'How can my mind to renounce ever stop!' Furthermore, the Buddha said to Kāśyapa: 'Now, for me, in the Āmra forest, take the fruits from there.' Kāśyapa, because of the Buddha's majestic spiritual power, as the Buddha said, immediately took them and offered them to the Buddha. The Buddha also said: 'In the Haritaki forest, take the medicine from there.' Kāśyapa, as the Buddha said, took it and offered it to the Buddha. The Buddha also said: 'At the Jambudvīpa tree, first take its fruits, and then you can take various fruits that you deem appropriate.' Kāśyapa, as the Buddha said, took them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 奉佛。

世尊又言：“汝于北俱卢洲，取彼饭来。”迦叶如言取以奉佛。 世尊又言：“汝于三十三天中，取彼曼陀罗华来。”迦叶如言取以奉佛。 尔时，迦叶知佛世尊有如是等种种神通，转复发起最上净信。世尊知彼心已，于迦叶前，复以神力，以虚空中，别见身相，起三威仪：谓住威仪、行步威仪、加趺坐威仪。如是所现诸威仪相，皆悉迅疾，如履急流，是相亦然；又于空中，化现众宝，所成楼阁；又复普现，黄金色相。世尊现如是等诸神通已，还摄神力，本相如故。 尔时迦叶，常于年中，而择一日，于自住处，作祀天会。所有摩伽陀国王舍大城频婆娑罗王，及其国中一切人民，咸来赴会。而彼迦叶，知设会时至，还本住处，乃作是念：“我常所设祀天施会，今正是时，王及人民，咸悉来集。彼大沙门，面相平满，远离颦蹙，无复恚怒，出善语言，见者欢喜。此最上善人，若来我舍，我祀天会，何能施作？” 尔时世尊，知彼心念已，即现神力，往北俱卢洲，如常乞食，还诣雪山边，安坐而食，食已于彼作草庵舍，止息一夜。 时彼迦叶，祀天既毕，设会亦周，饮食所须，而尚丰溢。迦叶见已，即作是念：“彼大沙门，今时若来，我当授食。” 世尊知其念已， 现代汉语译本 奉佛。 世尊又说：‘你到北俱卢洲，把那里的饭取来。’迦叶（Kasyapa，人名，也译作迦摄波）按照佛的指示取来饭供奉给佛。 世尊又说：‘你到三十三天（Trayastrimsa，佛教的欲界六天之一，位于须弥山顶）中，把那里的曼陀罗华（Mandala flower，一种花名）取来。’迦叶按照佛的指示取来花供奉给佛。 这时，迦叶知道佛世尊有这样种种神通，更加发起最上清净的信心。世尊知道他的心意后，在迦叶面前，又用神通力，在虚空中，分别显现身相，做出三种威仪：就是站立的威仪、行走的威仪、跏趺坐（Padmasana，一种坐姿）的威仪。像这样所显现的各种威仪相，都非常迅速，好像走在湍急的河流中，这些景象也是这样；又在空中，变化显现用各种宝物造成的楼阁；又普遍显现黄金的颜色。世尊显现像这样的各种神通后，收回神通力，恢复原来的样子。 这时迦叶，常常在一年中，选择一天，在自己住的地方，举行祭祀天神的集会。所有摩伽陀国（Magadha，古印度十六雄国之一）国王舍城（Rajagrha，摩揭陀国的首都）的频婆娑罗王（Bimbisara，摩揭陀国的国王），以及他的国家里的一切人民，都来参加集会。而那迦叶，知道设置集会的时间到了，回到自己住的地方，就想：‘我常常设置的祭祀天神的布施集会，现在正是时候，国王和人民，全都聚集来了。那位大沙门（Sramana，指佛教的出家修行者），面相平满，没有皱纹，没有愤怒，说出善良的话语，见到的人都欢喜。这位最上善人，如果来到我的住所，我的祭祀天神集会，怎么能施行呢？’ 这时世尊，知道他的心念后，就显现神通力，前往北俱卢洲，像平常一样乞食，回来后到雪山（Himalaya，喜马拉雅山）边，安稳地坐着吃饭，吃完饭后在那里做了草庵，在那里休息一夜。 当时那迦叶，祭祀天神完毕，设置的集会也结束了，饮食所需要的，还很丰盛。迦叶看见后，就想：‘那位大沙门，现在如果来，我应当给他食物。’ 世尊知道他的想法后，

English version Paying Homage to the Buddha. The World Honored One (世尊) further said, 'Go to Uttarakuru (北俱卢洲, one of the four continents in Buddhist cosmology) and bring back food from there.' Kasyapa (迦叶, a disciple of the Buddha) did as he was told and offered the food to the Buddha. The World Honored One further said, 'Go to Trayastrimsa Heaven (三十三天, one of the heavens in Buddhist cosmology) and bring back a Mandala flower (曼陀罗华, a type of flower).' Kasyapa did as he was told and offered the flower to the Buddha. At that time, Kasyapa, knowing that the World Honored One had such various supernatural powers, further aroused the most supreme pure faith. The World Honored One, knowing his mind, in front of Kasyapa, again used his divine power to separately manifest body forms in the empty space, displaying three kinds of dignified behavior: namely, the dignified behavior of standing, the dignified behavior of walking, and the dignified behavior of sitting in the lotus position (跏趺坐). All the dignified appearances thus manifested were very swift, as if walking in a rapid current; these appearances were also like that. Moreover, in the empty space, he transformed and manifested pavilions made of various treasures; and he also universally manifested the appearance of golden color. After the World Honored One manifested such various supernatural powers, he withdrew his divine power, and his original appearance remained as before. At that time, Kasyapa would often choose one day of the year to hold a sacrifice to the gods at his residence. All the people of the Magadha (摩伽陀国, an ancient Indian kingdom) king Bimbisara (频婆娑罗王, the king of Magadha) of Rajagrha (王舍城, the capital of Magadha), and all the people in his kingdom, would come to attend the gathering. And Kasyapa, knowing that the time for setting up the gathering had arrived, returned to his residence and thought: 'The almsgiving gathering for sacrificing to the gods that I often set up is now the right time, and the king and the people have all gathered. That great Sramana (沙门, a wandering ascetic or religious mendicant), with a face that is full and smooth, without frowns, without anger, speaks good words, and those who see him rejoice. If this most supreme good person comes to my residence, how can my gathering for sacrificing to the gods be carried out?' At that time, the World Honored One, knowing his thoughts, immediately manifested his divine power, went to Uttarakuru, begged for food as usual, and returned to the side of the Himalayas (雪山), sat down peacefully to eat, and after eating, made a grass hut there and rested for one night. At that time, Kasyapa, having finished sacrificing to the gods, and the gathering that was set up also being completed, the food and drink needed were still abundant. When Kasyapa saw this, he immediately thought: 'If that great Sramana comes now, I should give him food.'

从虚空中来现其前。迦叶见已，作如是言：“善来，大沙门！我昨设会，汝何不来？” 世尊答言：“知汝起念，故我不来。”世尊即为如念而说。 迦叶复言：“汝于今日，何故乃来？” 世尊答言：“亦知汝念，欲授我食，故我斯来。” 是时，迦叶即作是念：“希有难得！此大沙门，知我心意，此必同我，亦得阿罗汉。” 世尊知其所念，即时谓言：“迦叶！汝非阿罗汉，不知阿罗汉法。” 迦叶闻已，复作是念：“希有！希有！此大沙门，若心若意，若寻若伺，皆悉能知。”作是念已，头面着地，前礼佛足白言：“世尊！我今归佛，出家受具足戒，惟愿善逝，哀愍摄受。” 佛言：“迦叶！汝今不应投佛出家。所以者何？摩伽陀国王及人民，皆悉宗敬、供养于汝，汝于亲属知识众中，是最善人，宜应今时审自思忖。” 迦叶白佛言：“莫作是说！莫作是说！我于世尊所，生极喜心，发胜爱乐，岂复审思，我今决定归佛出家。何以故？世尊！我出家已，于沙门婆罗门外道众中，摧伏一切讥毁过失者，执持胜幢，于王舍大城中，次第经行，表示我优楼频螺耆年迦叶，能于世尊清净法中而得解脱，是故我今决定归佛出家。惟愿世尊，哀愍摄受。” 佛言： 现代汉语译本 从虚空中显现于迦叶面前。迦叶见到后，这样说道：‘欢迎，伟大的沙门（Śrāmaṇa，出家修行者）！我昨天设宴，你为何没有来？’ 世尊（Bhagavan，佛的尊称）回答说：‘我知道你心中所想，所以没有来。’世尊随即根据迦叶的想法而说法。 迦叶又问：‘你今天为何而来？’ 世尊回答说：‘我也知道你心中所想，想要供养我食物，所以我才来。’ 当时，迦叶心中想道：‘稀有难得！这位伟大的沙门，竟然知道我的心意，他必定和我一样，也证得了阿罗汉（Arhat，断尽烦恼，证得解脱的圣者）果位。’ 世尊知道他心中所想，立刻对他说：‘迦叶！你不是阿罗汉，也不了解阿罗汉的境界。’ 迦叶听后，又想道：‘稀有！稀有！这位伟大的沙门，无论是心念、意图、寻思还是伺察，都能够完全知晓。’想到这里，他头面着地，向前礼拜佛足，说道：‘世尊！我现在皈依佛，请求出家受具足戒（Upasampadā，比丘所受的正式戒律），希望善逝（Sugata，如来的称号）慈悲摄受。’ 佛说：‘迦叶！你不应该现在就投靠我出家。为什么呢？摩伽陀（Magadha，古印度国名）国王和人民，都非常尊敬、供养你，你在亲属和朋友中，是最受尊敬的人，你应该好好地仔细考虑。’ 迦叶对佛说：‘不要这样说！不要这样说！我对世尊生起了极大的欢喜心，发起了强烈的爱慕之情，哪里还会再考虑呢？我现在已经决定皈依佛出家。为什么呢？世尊！我出家之后，可以在沙门、婆罗门（Brāhmaṇa，古印度教祭司）以及其他外道众中，摧伏一切讥讽和过失，高举胜利的旗帜，在王舍（Rājagṛha，古印度城市）大城中，依次行走，向人们宣告我优楼频螺迦叶（Uruvilvā-Kāśyapa，迦叶的称号），能够在世尊清净的佛法中获得解脱，所以我现在决定皈依佛出家。希望世尊慈悲摄受。’ 佛说：

English version Appeared before Kāśyapa (Kāśyapa, a proper name) from the void. Seeing this, Kāśyapa said, 'Welcome, great Śrāmaṇa (Śrāmaṇa, a wandering ascetic)! I held a gathering yesterday, why did you not come?' The Bhagavan (Bhagavan, the Blessed One) replied, 'Knowing your thoughts, I did not come.' The Bhagavan then spoke according to his thoughts. Kāśyapa further said, 'Why have you come today?' The Bhagavan replied, 'I also know your thought, that you wish to offer me food, therefore I have come.' At that time, Kāśyapa thought, 'Rare and difficult to obtain! This great Śrāmaṇa knows my mind. He must be like me, having also attained Arhatship (Arhat, one who has attained enlightenment).' Knowing his thoughts, the Bhagavan immediately said, 'Kāśyapa! You are not an Arhat, and you do not know the Dharma of an Arhat.' Upon hearing this, Kāśyapa thought again, 'Rare! Rare! This great Śrāmaṇa knows all my thoughts, intentions, deliberations, and considerations.' Having thought this, he prostrated himself with his head to the ground, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and said, 'Bhagavan! I now take refuge in the Buddha, and request ordination (Upasampadā, full monastic ordination). May the Sugata (Sugata, the Well-Gone One) have compassion and accept me.' The Buddha said, 'Kāśyapa! You should not join the Sangha (Sangha, monastic community) under me now. Why? Because the King and people of Magadha (Magadha, an ancient kingdom in India) all respect and make offerings to you. You are the most respected person among your relatives and acquaintances. You should carefully consider this now.' Kāśyapa said to the Buddha, 'Do not say that! Do not say that! I have generated immense joy and profound love for the Bhagavan. How could I reconsider? I am now determined to take refuge in the Buddha and become a monk. Why? Bhagavan! After I am ordained, I will be able to subdue all criticisms and faults among the Śrāmaṇas, Brāhmaṇas (Brāhmaṇa, a member of the priestly class), and other heretics. I will hold the victory banner high and walk through the great city of Rājagṛha (Rājagṛha, an ancient city in India), proclaiming that I, Uruvilvā-Kāśyapa (Uruvilvā-Kāśyapa, Kāśyapa's title), am able to attain liberation in the Bhagavan's pure Dharma. Therefore, I am now determined to take refuge in the Buddha and become a monk. May the Bhagavan have compassion and accept me.'
