,五王及诸群臣,会中数千万人,闻说诸苦谛,心开意悟,即得须陀洹道,皆大欢喜,作礼而去。   四王俱白普安王言:“大王真是大权菩萨,化道我等,令得道迹,大王之恩。我本观诸宫殿,心情爱着,不能远离,今睹宫殿,如视秽厕,无可爱者。”即舍王位付弟,出家为道,修诸功德,日日不惓。   佛说五王经 现代汉语译本:五位国王以及各位大臣,还有法会中的数千万人,听闻讲述各种苦谛(duhkha-satya,关于苦难的真理),内心开悟,立即证得须陀洹道(srota-apanna,预流果),都非常欢喜,行礼后离去。 四位国王一起对普安王(Puan Wang)说:‘大王真是具有大权力的菩萨(bodhisattva),教化引导我们,使我们证得道迹(marga,道路,此处指修行之路),大王的恩德。我们原本观看各种宫殿,内心充满爱恋执着,不能远离,现在再看这些宫殿,就像看肮脏的厕所一样,没有什么值得喜爱的。’于是他们舍弃王位交给弟弟,出家修行,修习各种功德,日日不懈怠。 《佛说五王经》

English

English version: The five kings and all the ministers, along with several million people in the assembly, upon hearing the exposition of the various duhkha-satya (truths of suffering), experienced enlightenment in their hearts and immediately attained the srota-apanna (stream-enterer) path. They were all greatly delighted, paid their respects, and departed. The four kings together said to King Puan (Puan Wang): 'Great King, you are truly a bodhisattva (bodhisattva) of great power, transforming and guiding us, enabling us to attain the marga (path, here referring to the path of practice). Such is the Great King's grace. Originally, when we beheld the various palaces, our hearts were filled with love and attachment, unable to part from them. Now, when we look at these palaces, it is as if we are looking at filthy latrines, with nothing to be loved.' Thereupon, they relinquished their royal positions to their younger brothers, renounced their homes to pursue the path, cultivated various merits, and were diligent day after day.
