English version Adorned with robes and holding his alms bowl, the Buddha went to the residence of the elder Jicai Zhangzhe (wealthy elder), to receive his offerings. Having arrived at the residence, the Buddha first washed his feet and sat on the most excellent and wonderful seat; the Bhikshus (Bichu, monks) also each washed their feet and sat down in order. The elder Jicai Zhangzhe respectfully joined his palms and prostrated himself before the Buddha's feet. After prostrating, he immediately held the most excellent food and personally offered it to the Buddha, the World Honored One, and then successively offered it to each of the Bhikshus. At that time, the Buddha and the assembly of Bhikshus, having finished their meal, put away their bowls, washed their hands, and sat down in order. The elder Jicai Zhangzhe also sat respectfully before the Buddha, listening to the Buddha's teachings. ‘At that time, Vipashi Buddha (Vipashi Fo, Vipashyin Buddha) for the elder Jicai Zhangzhe, as appropriate, expounded the essentials of the Dharma, instructing, teaching, and delighting him. Having heard the Dharma, the elder was greatly delighted and prostrated himself at the Buddha's feet. After Jicai Zhangzhe had made such offerings, the Buddha departed from his residence.’ ‘At that time, King Manduma (Manduma Wang, King Manduma) was still preparing food in the palace, seeking to surpass the elder Jicai Zhangzhe, and said to his attendants: ‘In my palace, the retinue of consorts and concubines is very large. Who can skillfully prepare superior and wonderful food that can surpass that of the elder Jicai Zhangzhe?’ The attendant replied: ‘Your Majesty, you only need to prohibit those who sell firewood, and then the elder will naturally be unable to prepare the food for the Buddha.’ The king followed his advice and immediately issued a prohibition: ‘If anyone insists on selling firewood, they shall not reside in my kingdom.’ ‘At that time, the elder Jicai Zhangzhe, hearing that there was an edict prohibiting the sale of firewood, felt angry and said: ‘Now, in my house, I have fragrant wood, why would I need firewood to burn?’ At that time, the elder first burned fragrant wood in his house, and also used fragrant oil to prepare food, and the fragrance pervaded the entire great city.’ ‘King Manduma, smelling this fragrance, asked his attendants: ‘Where does this wonderful fragrance come from?’ The attendant replied: ‘This is the fragrant wood that the elder Jicai Zhangzhe is burning to prepare food; it is the remaining fragrance that has come here.’ ‘The king, hearing these words, knew that the Buddha had already accepted the elder's invitation.’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Then he turned to sorrow and distress, and said to his attendants: 'Why is there no fragrant wood in my palace now?' The attendants reported: 'There is no fragrant wood in the market, how can it be obtained? Your Majesty should know that those wealthy elders, though very rich, have no offspring. Once they die, they will surely have no successors, and all that they own will belong to Your Majesty.' At that time, King Manduma, although he heard these words, was still not pleased. The ministers reported to the king: 'Your Majesty! Please stop your sorrow and distress for now. Your Majesty can invite the Buddha for offerings on another day. As you wish, I can make you surpass those elders.' After the ministers said these words, they immediately ordered the removal of all sand and unclean things in the city of Mandumatī, sprinkled candana fragrant water to purify it, arranged clean water bottles, burned various wonderful incenses, hung true jewels in a crisscross pattern, erected various banners, and scattered various flowers, just like the Nandana garden in the heavens, without any difference, pure and solemn, with all kinds of treasures complete; laid out various wonderful treasure seats; prepared vast, soft, sweet, and various supreme delicacies, pure food and drink, complete with color, aroma, and taste, like the heavenly sudhā, a delightful supreme taste. Such food and drink should be used to offer to the most honored one in the three realms. After the arrangements were completed, the ministers together reported to the king: 'Now this great city, both inside and outside, is clean, with various solemn decorations, and the supreme delicacies of food and drink have all been prepared. May Your Majesty invite the Buddha to receive the meal offering.' At that time, King Manduma, seeing these things, felt joy in his heart and immediately sent messengers to where Vipaśyin Buddha was, and reported to the Buddha: 'The meal has been prepared, and the time for eating has arrived. May the Buddha descend, now is the right time.' At that time, Vipaśyin Buddha and the bhiksu sangha, at mealtime, put on their robes, held their bowls, and went to King Manduma's palace to receive his offerings. Upon arrival, the Buddha first washed his feet and sat on the most supreme and wonderful seat. The bhiksus also washed their feet and sat in order. At that time, King Manduma held the auspicious treasure vase and, starting from the Buddha's arrival, sprinkled pure water everywhere. Because of the Buddha's divine power, there were auspicious Nāgas --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

,自然住空,持百伞盖,覆佛世尊及苾刍顶。王第一妃执其珠金众宝庄严上妙宝扇侍立佛侧,余诸宫嫔亦执宝扇侍苾刍侧。时满度摩王,前礼佛足。礼已,即持上味饮食,躬奉世尊,然后各各,奉诸苾刍。   “尔时,积财长者知佛亦赴满度摩王所请,即时遣人,潜诣王宫,观其敷设庄严饮食等事所作何若。是人至彼,具见殊胜,贪止不还,如是累遣人去,亦复不还。最后长者即亦自往,至王宫已,备见庄严供养等事,乃自思惟:‘今王宫中,如是敷设,不知何人而能办作?我家何故无能此者?’作是念已,还归自舍,谓守库人言:‘汝可取诸金宝置于门首,有来求者,随意当与,勿须引入,我不能见。’时积财长者,作是念已,即入舍中,寂止一处,榰颐不悦。   “是时,帝释天主以净天眼,见是事已,乃作是念:‘今此界中,积财长者布施供养毗婆尸佛,是为上首施主,彼心净信,我宜变身助其营造。’作是念已,隐帝释天主身,现婆罗门相,诣积财长者所。到彼舍已,谓守门人言:‘汝可入告长者言:“有憍尸迦族婆罗门,今在门外,欲见长者。”’守门人曰:‘长者有言:“凡有来者,不应引入,或有所求,随意当给。”汝婆罗门!若有所欲,宜自持去,何故须求见长者耶?’   “婆罗门言 现代汉语译本:他们自然地安住在虚空中,手持一百把伞盖,覆盖在佛陀世尊(Buddha-世尊是佛陀的尊称)以及众比丘(Bhikkhus-佛教僧侣)的头顶。满度摩王(Manduma-国王名)的第一王妃手持用珍珠、黄金和各种珍宝装饰的上等美妙宝扇,侍立在佛陀身旁,其余的宫嫔也手持宝扇侍立在比丘们身旁。当时,满度摩王上前礼拜佛足。礼拜完毕后,他亲自拿着上等美味的饮食供奉世尊,然后又各自供奉各位比丘。 ‘这时,积财长者(Accumulated Wealthy Elder-人名)知道佛陀也应邀前往满度摩王那里接受供养,就立即派人偷偷地前往王宫,观察那里的布置、庄严和饮食等事情做得如何。那人到了那里,看到一切都非常殊胜,贪恋不舍得回来,像这样多次派人去,也都一去不回。最后,长者就亲自前往王宫,到了王宫后,详细地看到了庄严的布置和供养等事情,于是自己思量:‘现在王宫中,这样的布置,不知道是什么人才能办到?我家为什么没有能做到这些的人呢?’这样想着,就回到自己的住所,告诉看守仓库的人说:‘你可以把各种金银珠宝放在门口,有来求取的人,随意地给予,不需要带他们进来,我不想见人。’当时,积财长者这样想过后,就进入房间,安静地待在一个地方,用手托着下巴,很不高兴。 ‘这时,帝释天主(Śakra-天神之王)用清净的天眼看到了这件事,于是这样想:‘现在这个世间,积财长者布施供养毗婆尸佛(Vipaśyin-过去七佛之一),是为首要的施主,他的心清净而有信心,我应该变化身形帮助他营造。’这样想着,就隐去了帝释天主的身形,显现出婆罗门(Brahmin-印度教祭司种姓)的相貌,前往积财长者的地方。到了他的住所后,对守门人说:‘你可以进去告诉长者说:“有一个憍尸迦(Kauśika-帝释天的种族名)族的婆罗门,现在在门外,想要见长者。”’守门人说:‘长者有话:“凡是有来的人,不应该带进来,如果有什么要求,随意地给予。”你这个婆罗门!如果有什么想要的,自己拿走就是了,为什么要请求见长者呢?’ ‘婆罗门说:
