English version: Descending from the void, he returned to his original seat. Then, the poor man bowed at the feet of the Pratyekabuddha (Solitary Buddha), and said: 'You provide food for me, and I receive blessings for you.' The next day, offering to the Pratyekabuddha, he thought: 'This person has a pure heart and understanding.' To save the poor man, he accepted his offering. At that time, the poor man came out of the valley. He heard that King Jūn (Military King) saw the Pratyekabuddha dwelling in the void from afar. The king generated wisdom and thought: 'There should be people and devas (gods) of great merit in that place. I will quickly go to see the Pratyekabuddha and those people and devas.' The king then entered the valley, and on the way, he saw the poor man coming out of the valley. At that time, the king asked: 'Where do you come from?' The poor man replied: 'I come from here.' The king said: 'Poor man! Your body is rough, your hair is disheveled, your clothes are dirty and not cleaned. How can you now be far from poverty and like me in wealth and nobility? I see that you really cannot be far from poverty.' That person bid farewell to the king and suddenly thought: 'How can I obtain a piece of excellent and wonderful land? And how can I obtain various delicious foods, complete with all kinds of flavors?' Before he finished thinking, his foot stepped on a round stone and he suddenly fell to the ground. In that place, he found an iron urn filled with gold and jewels. The king arrived at the mountain and saw the Pratyekabuddha sitting in front of him. After staying for a while, he told his son: 'I am seeking blessings. How can I have the Pratyekabuddha accept my vegetarian meal tomorrow?' The Pratyekabuddha replied: 'Great King! I have already accepted an invitation.' King Jūn asked: 'Whose invitation have you accepted?' The Pratyekabuddha replied: 'A poor man has invited me to receive offerings.' The king then sent a messenger to tell the poor man: 'I am inviting the Pratyekabuddha for a vegetarian meal. You invite him on another day.' After the messenger arrived, he conveyed the king's will in detail. The poor man refused to agree. The king then personally went to the poor man's residence and said: 'I will offer food to the Pratyekabuddha. You set up a feast on another day.' The poor man said it was not possible. The king said: 'You need to reschedule.' The poor man said: 'How can you make me reschedule? Moreover, I have gold and jewels myself and will definitely express my offering.' The king said: 'You were originally poor, and I am' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

刹帝利灌顶王种，汝却云何对我有金？’贫人告言：‘王若不信，教王见金。’遂便同到出金之地，有一铁瓮，倾出金宝积聚如山，一边人立两边不见。王乃思惟：‘此人有如此福德？’彼人言曰：‘我斋时将至。’ “贫人于第二日，净除田地严饰殊妙，散诸莲华摘树枝叶，作妙伞盖设食供养。时彼缘觉复上虚空，现种种神变。 “尔时彼人礼足发愿：‘如我此地散作莲华，愿我世世生生得彼天妙莲华；如我所造树枝伞盖供养，善愿世世生生得瞻卜迦树，出瞻卜华天紫金色；如我瓦器持食供养善根，愿世世生生常得金盘满盛天食，假使百千人食食之不尽而得值佛。’” 告波斯匿王：“汝须思惟，当时贫人者，今婆罗门子金耀童子是，供养缘觉得彼善根，快乐无边，一切愿心皆得成就。” 佛说此经已，彼诸苾刍，一心顶戴，欢喜奉行。 佛说金耀童子经 现代汉语译本：‘刹帝利（Kshatriya，印度教种姓制度中的第二等级，通常是统治者和战士）灌顶王种，你却为何对我说你有金子？’穷人回答说：‘大王若是不信，就请大王亲眼去看金子。’于是便一同来到出金子的地方，那里有一个铁瓮，倾倒出来的金银财宝堆积如山，一边站着人，两边都看不见。国王于是心想：‘这个人竟然有如此大的福德？’那人说道：‘我斋戒的时间快到了。’ ‘穷人在第二天，把田地打扫干净，装饰得非常美妙，散布各种莲花，摘取树枝树叶，制作精美的伞盖，设置食物进行供养。当时那位缘觉（Pratyekabuddha，独觉佛）再次升上天空，显现种种神通变化。’ ‘当时那人礼拜缘觉的双足，并发愿说：‘就像我用这片土地散布莲花一样，愿我世世代代都能够得到天界美妙的莲花；就像我用树枝伞盖进行供养一样，善愿我世世代代都能够得到瞻卜迦树（Champaka，一种香花树），开出瞻卜花，呈现天界的紫金色；就像我用瓦器盛放食物进行供养的善根一样，愿我世世代代都能够常常得到金盘盛满天界的食物，即使成百上千人食用也吃不完，并且能够值遇佛陀。’ 佛陀告诉波斯匿王（Prasenajit，古印度拘萨罗国国王）说：‘你应该思考，当时的那个穷人，就是现在的婆罗门（Brahmin，印度教种姓制度中的第一等级，通常是祭司和学者）之子金耀童子。他供养缘觉而获得那样的善根，快乐无边，一切愿望都能够实现。’ 佛陀说完这部经后，那些比丘（Bhikkhu，佛教僧侣）们，都一心顶戴，欢喜地奉行。 佛说金耀童子经

English version: 'Kshatriya (Kshatriya, the second rank in the Hindu caste system, usually rulers and warriors) anointed king, why do you tell me you have gold?' The poor man replied, 'If the king does not believe me, let the king see the gold.' So they went together to the place where the gold came from. There was an iron urn, and the gold and jewels poured out of it piled up like a mountain, with a person standing on one side and not visible from the other. The king then thought, 'How can this person have such great merit?' That person said, 'The time for my fasting is approaching.' 'On the second day, the poor man cleaned the fields and decorated them beautifully, scattering various lotuses, picking branches and leaves, making exquisite canopies, and setting up food offerings. At that time, that Pratyekabuddha (Pratyekabuddha, a solitary Buddha) ascended into the sky again, displaying various supernatural transformations.' 'At that time, that person bowed at the feet of the Pratyekabuddha and made a vow, saying, 'Just as I scatter lotuses on this land, may I be able to obtain the wonderful lotuses of the heavenly realm in every lifetime; just as I use branches and leaves to make canopies for offerings, may I be able to obtain Champaka (Champaka, a fragrant flowering tree) trees in every lifetime, blooming Champaka flowers, appearing in the heavenly purple-golden color; just as I use earthenware to hold food for offering, may I always obtain golden plates filled with heavenly food in every lifetime, even if hundreds or thousands of people eat it, it will never be exhausted, and may I encounter the Buddha.' The Buddha told King Prasenajit (Prasenajit, the king of Kosala in ancient India), 'You should consider that the poor man at that time is now the son of a Brahmin (Brahmin, the first rank in the Hindu caste system, usually priests and scholars), Golden Radiance Boy. He made offerings to the Pratyekabuddha and obtained such merit, boundless joy, and all his wishes can be fulfilled.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, those Bhikkhus (Bhikkhu, Buddhist monks) all wholeheartedly bowed and joyfully practiced it.
