English version Fo Shuo Zhan Tuo Yue Guo Wang Jing (The Buddha Speaks of King Candrauta Sutra) Translated by Layman Juqu Jingsheng of the Song Dynasty Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in the Jetavana Anāthapiṇḍada-ārāma (祇樹給孤獨園) in Śrāvastī (舍衛國), together with twelve hundred and fifty Bhikshus. At that time, there was a king named Candrauta (旃陀越), who revered the Brahmanical path. The king always employed various Brahmins in governing the affairs of the state. The king's junior consort was especially cherished and was then pregnant. The other consorts were jealous of her and bribed the Brahmins with gold, instructing them to slander her before the king, saying, 'This person is fierce and evil. If she gives birth to a son, he will surely become a calamity for the country.' Upon hearing this, the king was very worried and unhappy. He asked the Brahmins, 'What should be done?' The Brahmins said, 'The only thing to do is to kill her.' The king said, 'Human life is of utmost importance. How can she be killed?' They replied, 'If you do not kill her, there will surely be worries of losing the country and your life. The calamity is not small.' The king then listened to their words and unjustly had her killed and buried. Later, the child was born in the tomb. Half of his mother's body had not decayed, and the child was able to drink her milk for three years. Later, the tomb collapsed, and the child was able to come out. He played with birds and beasts and returned to the tomb to sleep at night. When the child was six years old, the Buddha, with universal compassion, mindful of his diligence and suffering, living among birds and beasts, transformed into a Śrāmaṇa (沙門), wearing monastic robes, and went to call him, asking, 'Whose child are you? Where do you live?' The child joyfully replied, 'I have no home, but only dwell in this tomb. Now I beg to follow the Daoist.' The Buddha said, 'If you follow me, what will you do?' The child replied, 'Now I know what is good and what is evil, and I will eventually follow the Daoist.' The Buddha then took him to Jetavana (祇洹精舍) and showed him the dignified conduct of the Bhikshus. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

法则，意甚乐之，便白佛言：“我欲乞作比丘。” 佛即听之，以手摩其头，发堕袈裟自然着身，名为须陀，从佛受尊戒，勤意精进，心不懈怠，七日便得罗汉道。 佛语须陀：“从佛受尊戒，拔欲之根本，生死得自在，今宜往度彼旃陀越王。” 须陀承佛教，头面着地，为佛作礼，往到其国，住在宫门，请见于王。臣下白王言：“外有道人，乞欲见王。” 王闻之即出，与相见，问言：“我大有所忧者，当如之何？” 道人言：“何所忧耶？” 王言：“我年已长，且欲过时，国无续嗣，为之愁忧。” 道人闻王语，初不应之独笑而已。王便恚言：“我与道人语，初不答我，而反独笑。”即欲治杀之。 须陀知其意，便轻举飞翔，上住空中，分身散体出入无间。王见其威神变化，即恐怖悔过言：“我实愚痴，不别真伪，唯愿大神一还，令我得自归命。” 须陀即从空中下住王前，谓王言：“若能自归甚善，当自归于佛，佛是我大师，三界之尊，度脱众生。” 王便敕群臣，严驾当到佛所，须陀便以道力，如申臂顷，将王及人民，俱到佛所，头面着地，为佛作礼，归命三尊，乞受五戒，为优婆塞。 佛告王言：“欲知比丘须陀者，是王昔所用婆 现代汉语译本：须陀听闻佛陀所说的法则，心中非常欢喜，于是对佛说：‘我想要请求出家做比丘。’ 佛陀立刻答应了他，用手摩他的头，他的头发自然脱落，袈裟自然穿在身上，（佛）给他取名为须陀（Suddha，意为‘纯净’），跟随佛陀受持尊贵的戒律，勤奋精进，内心不懈怠，七天就证得了阿罗汉果位。 佛陀对须陀说：‘你从我这里受持尊贵的戒律，拔除了欲望的根本，生死获得了自在，现在应该去度化那旃陀越王（Candaka，人名）。’ 须陀接受了佛陀的教诲，头面着地，向佛陀行礼，前往那个国家，住在王宫门口，请求会见国王。臣下禀告国王说：‘外面有个道人，请求要见您。’ 国王听了之后就出来，与他相见，问道：‘我有很多忧虑的事情，应该怎么办呢？’ 道人说：‘您有什么忧虑呢？’ 国王说：‘我年纪已经大了，快要过世了，国家没有继承人，为此感到愁忧。’ 道人听了国王的话，起初没有回答，只是独自发笑。国王便生气地说：‘我和道人说话，他一开始不回答我，反而独自发笑。’就想要惩罚杀了他。 须陀知道国王的心意，便轻轻地飞起来，停留在空中，分身散体，出入无间。国王看到他威神变化，立刻感到恐惧，忏悔过错说：‘我实在愚痴，不辨别真假，只希望大神能够回来，让我能够归依。’ 须陀立刻从空中下来，站在国王面前，对国王说：‘如果能够归依是很好的，应当归依佛陀，佛陀是我的大师，是三界中最尊贵的，能够度脱众生。’ 国王便命令群臣，准备车驾前往佛陀所在的地方，须陀便用他的道力，像伸开手臂那么短的时间，将国王和人民，一起带到佛陀所在的地方，头面着地，向佛陀行礼，归依三宝，请求受持五戒，成为优婆塞（Upasaka，在家男居士）。 佛陀告诉国王说：‘想要知道比丘须陀是谁吗？他是你过去所任用的婆罗门（Brahmana，古印度僧侣）。’

English version: Suddha, hearing the Dharma spoken by the Buddha, was very delighted in his heart, and then said to the Buddha: 'I wish to request to become a Bhikshu (monk).' The Buddha immediately agreed to him, stroked his head with his hand, his hair naturally fell off, and the Kasaya (袈裟，monk's robe) naturally put on his body. (The Buddha) gave him the name Suddha (meaning 'pure'), followed the Buddha to receive the noble precepts, diligently practiced with vigor, his mind was not懈怠(lazy), and in seven days he attained the state of Arhat (罗汉，one who has attained Nirvana). The Buddha said to Suddha: 'You have received the noble precepts from me, uprooted the root of desire, and obtained freedom in life and death. Now you should go and liberate that King Candaka (人名，personal name).' Suddha accepted the Buddha's teachings, prostrated himself with his head to the ground, paid homage to the Buddha, went to that country, stayed at the palace gate, and requested to see the king. The ministers reported to the king: 'There is a 道人(Taoist/religious person) outside, requesting to see you.' After hearing this, the king came out and met him, asking: 'I have many worries, what should I do?' The 道人(Taoist/religious person) said: 'What are your worries?' The king said: 'I am already old and about to pass away, and the country has no successor, which makes me worried.' The 道人(Taoist/religious person), after hearing the king's words, did not answer at first, but just laughed to himself. The king then angrily said: 'I am talking to the 道人(Taoist/religious person), but he doesn't answer me at first, but laughs to himself instead.' He then wanted to punish and kill him. Suddha, knowing the king's intention, lightly flew up and stayed in the air, dividing his body and scattering his limbs, entering and exiting without obstruction. The king, seeing his majestic and divine transformations, immediately felt fear and repented of his mistakes, saying: 'I am truly foolish, unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood, I only hope that the great deity can return, so that I can take refuge.' Suddha immediately came down from the air and stood in front of the king, saying to the king: 'If you can take refuge, it is very good, you should take refuge in the Buddha, the Buddha is my master, the most noble in the three realms, and can liberate all beings.' The king then ordered his ministers to prepare carriages and go to where the Buddha was. Suddha then used his spiritual power, in the time it takes to stretch out an arm, brought the king and the people together to where the Buddha was, prostrated themselves with their heads to the ground, paid homage to the Buddha, took refuge in the Three Jewels, and requested to receive the Five Precepts, becoming Upasaka (在家男居士，layman). The Buddha told the king: 'Do you want to know who the Bhikshu (monk) Suddha is? He is the Brahmana (古印度僧侣，ancient Indian priest) you used to employ.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

罗门言谮，杀兼娠者子也。母死之后，子于冢中生，冢中母半身不朽，得饮其湩，乃至六年，今随我为道，乃致于此。” 王闻佛言，更恐怖不能自胜。 佛言：“昔拘先尼佛世，有国王号名佛舍达，王及国中三亿人，皆随王供养三尊。时有凡人，居贫无业，常为国中富姓赁放牧，养牛数百头。见王及人民供养比丘僧，即问言：‘卿等何所为乎？’人民答言：‘吾等供养三尊，后当得其福。’即复问言：‘得何等福耶？’人民报言：‘人有净心施三尊者，后所在处安乐尊贵，无有勤苦。’即念言：‘我居贫穷，但赁放牧，自无饮食，当何以施？’即念言：‘唯当还取牛湩，煎以为酪酥，净心上比丘。’比丘僧咒愿言：‘令汝世世所在处当得其福，自后展转更生死，辄受其福，或上为诸天，或下为王侯。’ “乃后为王时出游猎，见国中人有好牸牛怀犊，王便令人取牛杀之。夫人语王：‘莫令人杀其子也。’时牛主追还，破取其子养护之。其主恚言：‘当令王如此牛也。’自后魂神来为王作子，时未出生，母为王所杀。欲知须陀者即是也；须陀母见抂杀者，则是时王夫人也；婆罗门者牛主是也。须陀所以于冢中生，其母半身不朽，得饮其湩以自长大者，由其宿命以酪酥上比丘僧故。” 佛言： 现代汉语译本：婆罗门说人坏话，（国王）杀死了怀有身孕的妇女的胎儿。母亲死后，孩子在坟墓中出生，坟墓中母亲的半身没有腐烂，（孩子）得以吸吮母亲的乳汁，直到六年。现在跟随我修行，才到了这里。” 国王听了佛的话，更加恐惧，无法自制。 佛说：‘过去拘先尼佛（Kakusandha Buddha）在世时，有一位国王名叫佛舍达（Buddhasdata），国王和国内三亿人都跟随国王供养三宝（佛、法、僧）。当时有一个普通人，居住贫穷没有职业，经常为国内的富人租用放牧，养牛几百头。看见国王和人民供养比丘僧，就问：‘你们在做什么？’人民回答说：‘我们供养三宝，以后会得到福报。’又问：‘得到什么福报呢？’人民回答说：‘人有清净心供养三宝，以后无论在哪里都安乐尊贵，没有勤劳辛苦。’就想：‘我居住贫穷，只是租用放牧，自己没有饮食，用什么来布施呢？’就想：‘只有拿回牛奶，煎熬成为酪酥，用清净心供养比丘。’比丘僧咒愿说：‘让你世世代代无论在哪里都得到福报，从那以后辗转生死，就接受那福报，或者上生为诸天，或者下生为王侯。’ 后来做国王时出外打猎，看见国内的人家有好母牛怀着小牛，国王就让人把牛抓来杀了。夫人对国王说：‘不要让人杀死小牛啊。’当时牛的主人追回来，剖开（牛腹）取出小牛养护它。牛的主人怨恨地说：‘当让国王像这头牛一样。’从那以后魂神来做国王的儿子，当时还没有出生，母亲就被国王杀害了。想要知道须陀（Sudatta）就是他；须陀的母亲被冤枉杀害，就是当时的国王夫人；婆罗门就是牛的主人。须陀所以在坟墓中出生，他的母亲半身没有腐烂，得以吸吮母亲的乳汁而长大，是因为他前世用酪酥供养比丘僧的缘故。’ 佛说：

English version: The Brahman slandered, killing the child of a pregnant woman. After the mother died, the child was born in the tomb. The mother's half-body in the tomb did not decay, and he was able to drink her milk for six years. Now he follows me in the path, and that's how he came to be here.' The king, hearing the Buddha's words, was even more terrified and could not control himself. The Buddha said, 'In the past, during the time of Kakusandha Buddha, there was a king named Buddhasdata. The king and three hundred million people in the country all followed the king in making offerings to the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha). At that time, there was an ordinary person who lived in poverty and had no occupation. He was often hired by wealthy families in the country to graze hundreds of cattle. Seeing the king and the people making offerings to the Bhikkhu Sangha, he asked, 'What are you doing?' The people replied, 'We are making offerings to the Three Jewels, and we will receive blessings in the future.' He then asked, 'What kind of blessings will you receive?' The people replied, 'Those who offer to the Three Jewels with a pure heart will be peaceful, happy, and honored wherever they are in the future, without toil or hardship.' He thought, 'I live in poverty and am only hired to graze cattle. I have no food or drink myself, so what can I offer?' He then thought, 'I should take back the cow's milk, boil it into clarified butter (ghee), and offer it to the Bhikkhus with a pure heart.' The Bhikkhu Sangha blessed him, saying, 'May you receive blessings in every life and in every place. From then on, through successive rebirths, you will receive those blessings, either ascending to the heavens or descending to be kings and nobles.' Later, when he was a king, he went out hunting and saw a good cow in the country pregnant with a calf. The king ordered people to seize the cow and kill it. The queen said to the king, 'Do not let them kill the calf.' At that time, the owner of the cow chased after them, cut open (the cow's belly), and took out the calf to raise it. The owner of the cow resentfully said, 'May the king be like this cow.' From then on, his spirit came to be the king's son. At that time, he was not yet born, and his mother was killed by the king. Know that Sudatta is he; Sudatta's mother, who was unjustly killed, was the queen of that time; the Brahman was the owner of the cow. The reason why Sudatta was born in the tomb, and his mother's half-body did not decay, and he was able to drink her milk and grow up, was because in his past life he offered clarified butter to the Bhikkhu Sangha.'
