其㲲，受已观见，是己所有，即白王言：“此是我家所用净巾，适因曝于日中，风飘至此，其事如实。” 王言：“长者！佛记于汝，受天胜福，吉祥相现，佛语谛诚，其事如是。”又言：“长者！汝今胜相若此，何不请王于汝舍中，暂一观视？” 长者白言：“愿王今时幸我小舍。”王言：“长者！汝可先还备诸饮食。” 长者白言：“大王！受天福者，不假营造自然成办，愿王临幸。” 尔时，频婆娑罗王即与臣佐围绕，出诣光明长者舍。长者前导，王至彼舍，于其外门，见守门婢，色相殊异，王乃暂住，长者白言：“大王何故住而不进？” 王言：“长者！我见汝妻，故乃暂住。” 长者白言：“此非我妻，是守门婢。” 王即前行至中门外，又见一守门婢，王复不进，长者白言：“王复何故住而不进？”王同前答。长者白言：“此非我妻，亦是守中门婢。” 王即前进入于中门，见摩尼宝地上，有虫鱼流水之相，王意谓是池沼，在此亦复暂住。长者白言：“大王何故住而不进？” 王言：“此处有水，故不前进。” 长者白言：“大王！此处无水，是摩尼宝所成之地。” 王言：“长者！若是宝地，何故有诸虫鱼流水等相？” 现代汉语译本： 之后，光明长者接受了净巾，仔细观看，确认是自己家的东西，便禀告频婆娑罗王（King Bimbisara）说：‘这确实是我家使用的干净的擦拭布，刚才因为在太阳下晾晒，被风吹到这里，事情确实如此。’ 频婆娑罗王（King Bimbisara）说：‘长者！佛陀曾预言你将获得天上的殊胜福报，吉祥的征兆已经显现，佛陀的话真实不虚，事情确实如此。’又说：‘长者！你现在如此吉祥，为何不邀请我到你的府邸中，稍微参观一下呢？’ 光明长者回答说：‘希望大王现在能光临我的寒舍。’频婆娑罗王（King Bimbisara）说：‘长者！你可先回去准备一些饮食。’ 光明长者回答说：‘大王！蒙受天福之人，不需要特别准备，一切自然具备，希望大王能够光临。’ 当时，频婆娑罗王（King Bimbisara）便与大臣侍从们一同前往光明长者的府邸。光明长者在前面引导，频婆娑罗王（King Bimbisara）到达长者府邸的外门，看见守门的女仆，容貌非常出众，频婆娑罗王（King Bimbisara）便暂时停了下来。光明长者问道：‘大王为何停住不前？’ 频婆娑罗王（King Bimbisara）说：‘长者！我看见你的妻子，所以暂时停了下来。’ 光明长者回答说：‘这不是我的妻子，只是守门的女仆。’ 频婆娑罗王（King Bimbisara）便继续前行，到达中门外，又看见一个守门的女仆，频婆娑罗王（King Bimbisara）再次停住不前，光明长者问道：‘大王又为何停住不前？’频婆娑罗王（King Bimbisara）回答与之前相同。光明长者回答说：‘这不是我的妻子，也是守中门的女仆。’ 频婆娑罗王（King Bimbisara）便进入中门，看见摩尼宝地上，有虫鱼流水等景象，频婆娑罗王（King Bimbisara）以为是池塘，因此又暂时停了下来。光明长者问道：‘大王为何停住不前？’ 频婆娑罗王（King Bimbisara）说：‘这里有水，所以不往前走。’ 光明长者回答说：‘大王！这里没有水，是摩尼宝所形成的地面。’ 频婆娑罗王（King Bimbisara）说：‘长者！如果是宝地，为何会有虫鱼流水等景象？’

English version: Thereupon, Sudatta, having received the cloth and examined it, recognizing it as his own, reported to King Bimbisara (频婆娑罗王): 'This is indeed the clean cloth used in my household. It was blown here by the wind while drying in the sun. The matter is as I have stated.' The King said, 'O Sudatta! The Buddha has foretold that you would receive celestial blessings, and auspicious signs have appeared. The Buddha's words are true and accurate. It is indeed so.' He further said, 'O Sudatta! Since you now possess such auspicious signs, why not invite me to your residence for a brief visit?' Sudatta replied, 'I wish that Your Majesty would grace my humble abode at this time.' The King said, 'O Sudatta! You should return first and prepare some food and drink.' Sudatta replied, 'O Great King! One who receives heavenly blessings does not need to prepare anything; everything is naturally provided. I hope Your Majesty will honor me with your presence.' At that time, King Bimbisara (频婆娑罗王), surrounded by his ministers and attendants, set out for Sudatta's residence. Sudatta led the way, and when the King arrived at the outer gate of Sudatta's house, he saw a gatekeeper whose appearance was extraordinary. The King paused. Sudatta asked, 'Why does Your Majesty stop and not proceed?' The King said, 'O Sudatta! I see your wife, so I pause.' Sudatta replied, 'This is not my wife; she is merely a gatekeeper.' The King then proceeded to the outside of the middle gate, where he saw another gatekeeper. Again, the King did not proceed. Sudatta asked, 'Why does Your Majesty again stop and not proceed?' The King gave the same answer as before. Sudatta replied, 'This is not my wife either; she is also a middle gatekeeper.' The King then entered through the middle gate and saw on the ground made of mani jewels, images of insects, fish, and flowing water. The King thought it was a pond and paused again. Sudatta asked, 'Why does Your Majesty stop and not proceed?' The King said, 'There is water here, so I do not proceed.' Sudatta replied, 'O Great King! There is no water here; it is a ground made of mani jewels.' The King said, 'O Sudatta! If it is a jeweled ground, why are there images of insects, fish, and flowing water?' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

长者白言：“大王！上有旋轮雕镂虫鱼等相，下是摩尼宝光映照故尔。”王虽闻是说，犹故未信，即时取自指环，前掷于地，环击地声，王乃信是摩尼宝地。 时频婆娑罗王既入其舍，处师子座。时长者妻出拜王前，而忽泪下。王言：“长者！汝妻何故见王垂泪？” 长者白言：“大王！妻拜王前，何敢垂泪？但为王所著衣有木烟气烟薰目故，而忽泪下。是故，大王！受天福者，所欲饮食，有如意宝，自然能出。” 尔时，频婆娑罗王在长者舍，住经七日忘还王宫。时诸臣寮，共诣阿阇世太子所，白言：“太子！王在光明长者舍，经今七日，于国政事，有所妨废，太子宜往请王还宫。” 时阿阇世太子，即诣光明长者舍，白父王言：“我王何故忘还王宫？于国政事，有所妨废。”王言：“我在此舍，始经一日，国有政事，汝岂不能暂代吾治？” 太子白言：“父王当知，住于此舍，已经七日。” 王闻是语，顾视光明长者问言：“实不？”长者白言：“实尔，大王！已经七日。” 王言：“长者！汝此舍中，观于何相，以分昼夜？”长者白言：“华开华合，以分昼夜；异鸟和鸣，及不和鸣，以分昼夜；摩尼宝珠光现不现，以分昼夜。其或有华合而非夜，有华开而非昼；有 现代汉语译本 长者回答说：‘大王！上面有旋转的轮子，雕刻着虫鱼等图案，下面是摩尼宝珠（Mani jewel，一种宝珠）的光芒映照，所以如此。’国王虽然听了这话，仍然不相信，随即取下自己的指环，扔在地上，指环撞击地面的声音，国王才相信这是摩尼宝地。 当时频婆娑罗王（King Bimbisara）进入长者的住所，坐在狮子座上。这时，长者的妻子出来拜见国王，忽然流下眼泪。国王说：‘长者！你的妻子为何见到我而流泪？’ 长者回答说：‘大王！我的妻子拜见您，怎敢流泪？只是因为大王您所穿的衣服有木烟气，烟熏了她的眼睛，所以忽然流泪。因此，大王！受到天福的人，所想要的饮食，就像如意宝（Cintamani，能实现愿望的宝珠）一样，自然就能出现。’ 当时，频婆娑罗王在长者的住所住了七天，忘记返回王宫。这时，各位大臣一同前往阿阇世太子（Prince Ajatasattu）那里，禀告说：‘太子！国王在光明长者（Luminous Elder）的住所，已经七天了，对国家政事有所妨碍，太子应该去请国王回宫。’ 当时，阿阇世太子就前往光明长者的住所，对父王说：‘父王为何忘记返回王宫？对国家政事有所妨碍。’国王说：‘我在这住所，才过了一天，国家有政事，你难道不能暂时代替我处理吗？’ 太子回答说：‘父王应该知道，住在这住所，已经七天了。’ 国王听了这话，回头看着光明长者问道：‘确实如此吗？’长者回答说：‘确实如此，大王！已经七天了。’ 国王说：‘长者！你在这住所中，观察什么现象来区分白天和黑夜？’长者回答说：‘花开花合，用来区分白天和黑夜；不同的鸟鸣叫和谐或不和谐，用来区分白天和黑夜；摩尼宝珠的光芒显现或不显现，用来区分白天和黑夜。有时有花合拢却不是夜晚，有花开放却不是白天；有

English version The elder replied, 'Great King! Above, there are rotating wheels, carved with images of insects, fish, and the like. Below, there is the light of the Mani jewel (Mani jewel, a type of precious gem) reflecting, hence it appears as such.' Although the king heard this explanation, he still did not believe it. Immediately, he took off his own finger ring and threw it to the ground. The sound of the ring striking the ground convinced the king that it was indeed a Mani jewel ground. At that time, King Bimbisara (King Bimbisara) entered the elder's residence and sat on the lion throne. Then, the elder's wife came out to bow before the king and suddenly shed tears. The king said, 'Elder! Why does your wife weep upon seeing me?' The elder replied, 'Great King! How would my wife dare to weep upon seeing you? It is only because the clothes you are wearing have the smell of wood smoke, which has irritated her eyes, causing her to shed tears. Therefore, Great King! Those who receive heavenly blessings, whatever food and drink they desire, it appears naturally, like a Cintamani (Cintamani, a wish-fulfilling jewel).' At that time, King Bimbisara stayed in the elder's residence for seven days, forgetting to return to the royal palace. Then, the various ministers went together to Prince Ajatasattu (Prince Ajatasattu) and reported, 'Prince! The king has been in the residence of the Luminous Elder (Luminous Elder) for seven days now, which is hindering the affairs of the state. The prince should go and request the king to return to the palace.' At that time, Prince Ajatasattu went to the residence of the Luminous Elder and said to his father, the king, 'Why has Father King forgotten to return to the royal palace? It is hindering the affairs of the state.' The king said, 'I have only been in this residence for one day. If there are state affairs, can you not temporarily handle them in my place?' The prince replied, 'Father King should know that you have been staying in this residence for seven days.' Upon hearing these words, the king turned to look at the Luminous Elder and asked, 'Is this really so?' The elder replied, 'It is indeed so, Great King! It has been seven days.' The king said, 'Elder! In this residence of yours, what phenomena do you observe to distinguish between day and night?' The elder replied, 'The opening and closing of flowers are used to distinguish between day and night; the harmonious or discordant sounds of different birds are used to distinguish between day and night; the appearance or non-appearance of the light of the Mani jewel is used to distinguish between day and night. Sometimes there are flowers that close but it is not night, and there are flowers that open but it is not day; there are --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

珠光隐而非夜，有珠光现而非昼；有异鸟寂然而非夜，有异鸟和鸣而非昼。” 时，频婆娑罗王闻是事已，即谓光明长者言：“我信佛语，真实无妄。佛所说汝现于人中受天胜福，其事如实。”时频婆娑罗王言已，出长者舍。 彼阿阇世太子，方出舍时，私窃取一摩尼宝珠名扇恒俱，授一侍人，还王宫已，召而谓言：“适所授汝摩尼宝珠，汝可持来，我欲观视。”侍人开手欲奉太子，其珠不见，即时白言：“不知此珠失于何处？”是时太子，即将侍人而行捶打。 光明长者以天福力，即知其事，来问太子言：“何故捶打此侍人耶？” 太子答言：“我适汝舍，盗摩尼珠，授此侍人，今忽隐讳。我已作盗，此复转盗，其罪愈甚，故行捶打。” 长者白言：“汝取我珠，此不名盗，今既不见，亦非他盗，此珠现今复在我舍。何以故？受天福者，方可用故。太子若复别有所欲，悉当奉汝，我无所吝。” 时阿阇世太子，心生疑念：“我今于此长者，未有希取，将来我父频婆娑罗王命终已后，我乃求彼财宝诸物。”作是念已，阿阇世太子与提婆达多，结构异谋，害父王命。 乃至后时，杀其父已，自行灌顶，处于王位，乃召光明长者而谓言曰：“长者可为我兄，欲就汝舍而共居止 现代汉语译本：‘有宝珠的光芒隐没，但并非在夜晚；有宝珠的光芒显现，但并非在白天；有一种奇异的鸟寂静无声，但并非在夜晚；有一种奇异的鸟和谐鸣叫，但并非在白天。’ 当时，频婆娑罗王（Bimbisara，古印度摩揭陀国国王）听闻此事后，就对光明长者说：‘我相信佛陀的话，真实不虚。佛陀所说你在人群中享受天上的殊胜福报，这件事确实如此。’当时频婆娑罗王说完，离开了长者的住所。 那阿阇世（Ajatasattu，频婆娑罗王之子）太子，刚出长者住所时，私下偷取了一颗摩尼宝珠，名叫扇恒俱（扇恒俱，名称待考），交给一个侍从，回到王宫后，召见侍从并对他说：‘刚才我交给你的摩尼宝珠，你可以拿来，我想看看。’侍从打开手想奉上给太子，那宝珠却不见了，立刻禀告说：‘不知道这宝珠遗失在什么地方了？’当时太子，就拉着侍从进行捶打。 光明长者凭借天上的福力，立刻知道了这件事，来问太子说：‘为什么捶打这个侍从呢？’ 太子回答说：‘我刚才在你家，偷了摩尼宝珠，交给这个侍从，现在他却隐瞒不说。我已经做了偷盗之事，他现在又转而偷盗，他的罪过更加严重，所以才捶打他。’ 长者禀告说：‘你拿我的宝珠，这不叫偷盗，现在既然不见了，也不是别人偷的，这宝珠现在又在我的住所。为什么呢？因为只有接受天福的人，才可以使用它。太子如果还有别的想要的东西，我都应当奉献给你，我没有什么舍不得的。’ 当时阿阇世太子，心中产生疑虑：‘我现在对这位长者，还没有什么希求，将来我父王频婆娑罗王命终之后，我再求取他的财宝等物。’产生这样的念头后，阿阇世太子与提婆达多（Devadatta，佛陀的堂兄弟）勾结，策划异谋，杀害父王的性命。 乃至后来，杀害了他的父亲之后，自己举行灌顶仪式，登上王位，于是召见光明长者并对他说：‘长者可以做我的兄长，我想去你的住所一起居住。’

English version: 'There is a pearl's light hidden, but not at night; there is a pearl's light revealed, but not during the day; there is a strange bird silent, but not at night; there is a strange bird harmoniously singing, but not during the day.' At that time, King Bimbisara (Bimbisara, King of Magadha in ancient India), having heard of this matter, said to the Brightness Elder: 'I believe the Buddha's words, which are true and without falsehood. What the Buddha said, that you receive heavenly blessings among people, is indeed true.' Having spoken, King Bimbisara departed from the elder's residence. Prince Ajatasattu (Ajatasattu, son of King Bimbisara), just as he was leaving the elder's residence, secretly stole a Mani jewel named Sanhengju (扇恒俱, name to be verified), and gave it to an attendant. After returning to the palace, he summoned the attendant and said: 'The Mani jewel I just gave you, you may bring it to me, I wish to see it.' The attendant opened his hand to present it to the prince, but the jewel was not there. He immediately reported: 'I do not know where this jewel is lost.' At that time, the prince seized the attendant and began to beat him. The Brightness Elder, by the power of his heavenly blessings, immediately knew of this matter, and came to ask the prince: 'Why are you beating this attendant?' The prince replied: 'I just stole a Mani jewel from your house, and gave it to this attendant, but now he conceals it. I have already committed theft, and now he in turn steals, his crime is even greater, therefore I am beating him.' The elder reported: 'Your taking my jewel is not called theft. Now that it is not seen, it is not stolen by another. This jewel is now back in my residence. Why? Because only those who receive heavenly blessings can use it. If the prince desires anything else, I shall offer it to you, I have nothing to be stingy about.' At that time, Prince Ajatasattu had doubts in his mind: 'I have no desires from this elder now. In the future, after my father King Bimbisara has passed away, I will seek his treasures and possessions.' Having had this thought, Prince Ajatasattu conspired with Devadatta (Devadatta, Buddha's cousin) to plot a different scheme, to kill his father. Even later, after killing his father, he performed the enthronement ceremony himself, ascended the throne, and then summoned the Brightness Elder and said to him: 'Elder, you may be my brother, I wish to go to your residence and live together.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ，凡有所须，汝应给我。”
