English version: The Sūtra Spoken by the Buddha on the Six Aspects of Dismembering the Form of a Mātaṅga Woman (Anonymous translation, appended to the Eastern Jin record) The Buddha was in the Jetavana-anāthapiṇḍada-ārāma in Śrāvastī. At that time, Ānanda, carrying his alms bowl, was walking along the water's edge when he saw a woman drawing water. Ānanda asked her for water, and she gave it to him. The woman then followed Ānanda to his dwelling place. The woman returned home and told her mother, whose name was Mātaṅgī. The woman lay down at home, weeping. Her mother asked her why she was crying. The woman said, 'If you want to marry me off, Mother, do not give me to anyone else. By the water, I saw a śrāmaṇa who asked me for water. I inquired about his name, and it is Ānanda. I will only marry if I can marry Ānanda; if I cannot marry Ānanda, I will not marry.' The mother then went to inquire about Ānanda, and learned that Ānanda served the Buddha. Knowing this, the mother returned and told her daughter, 'Ānanda cultivates the Buddha's path and will not agree to be your husband.' The woman then wept and refused to eat, saying, 'Mother, you know the arts of蛊 (gǔ, a type of black magic), why not use them to bewitch him?' The mother went out and invited Ānanda home for a meal, which greatly pleased the woman. The mother said to Ānanda, 'My daughter wishes to be your wife.' Ānanda said, 'I uphold the Buddha's precepts and cannot have a wife.' The mother then said, 'If my daughter cannot have you as her husband, she will kill herself.' Ānanda said, 'I take the Buddha as my teacher and cannot have relations with a woman.' The mother then went inside and told her daughter, 'Ānanda is unwilling to be your husband; those who cultivate the Buddha's path cannot have wives.' The woman wept to her mother, saying, 'Where is your magic?' The mother said, 'In all the world, no magic can surpass the Buddha's path and that of an arhat.' The woman then said, 'Just close the doors for me, do not let him out, and by night he will naturally become my husband.' The mother then closed the doors and bound Ānanda with magic. As evening approached, the mother prepared a bed for them. The woman was overjoyed and began to adorn herself, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

难不肯就卧处，母便然火，前牵阿难衣，语阿难言：“汝不为我女作夫者，我便掷汝火中。” 阿难自鄙作沙门，今日反在中，不能得出，即叉手呼佛。佛即知之，使神脱阿难。阿难至佛所言：“昨日行乞食，于水边见一女人，我从乞水。明日有人名摩登，请我归饭，我出便牵我，欲持女与我为妇；我持佛戒，不得畜妻。” 女见阿难得脱去，于家啼哭，母言：“其有事佛者，我道不能胜，我本不语汝耶！”女啼不止，续念阿难。 女明日自行来索阿难，复见阿难行乞食，随阿难背后，视阿难足，视阿难面。阿难羞惭，低头不视而避之，女复随不止。阿难还归佛所，女复守门，阿难不出，女啼去归。 阿难前白佛言：“摩登女今日复随，明日复来。”佛即呼女见之。佛言：“汝追阿难，何等索？”女言：“我闻阿难无妇，我亦无夫，我欲为阿难作妻。”佛言：“阿难沙门无发，汝宁剃头发？我使阿难为汝作夫。”女言：“敢剃头发。”佛言：“汝归报母剃头来。” 女归到母所，言：“母不能致阿难，我自行消息问佛。佛言：‘剃头发来，我使阿难为汝作夫。’”母言：“我生护汝头发，汝何为与沙门作妇？国中有大富豪，我自能嫁汝与之。”女言：“我死生当与阿难作妇。”母言： 现代汉语译本： 那女子强迫阿难和她同寝，阿难不肯，那女子的母亲就点燃火，上前拉住阿难的衣服，对阿难说：‘你如果不做我女儿的丈夫，我就把你扔到火里。’ 阿难自认为已经出家做了沙门（佛教出家修行者），今天反而身陷这种境地，无法脱身，便合掌呼唤佛陀。佛陀立刻知晓此事，便用神力解救了阿难。阿难到了佛陀那里，说：‘昨天我去乞食，在水边看见一个女人，我向她乞水。今天有一个名叫摩登伽（Matanggi）的人，请我到她家吃饭，我一出门就被她拉住，想要把女儿嫁给我做妻子；我持守佛陀的戒律，不能娶妻。’ 那女子见阿难脱身离去，就在家里啼哭，她的母亲说：‘那些信奉佛陀的人，我说我不能胜过他们，我本来就告诉过你吧！’那女子啼哭不止， συνεχώς 念着阿难。 第二天，那女子自己来寻找阿难，又看见阿难在乞食，就跟在阿难背后，看着阿难的脚，看着阿难的脸。阿难感到羞愧，低着头不看她，躲避她，那女子还是不停地跟随。阿难回到佛陀那里，那女子又守在门外，阿难不出来，那女子哭着回去了。 阿难上前禀告佛陀说：‘摩登伽女今天又跟随我，明天还会再来。’佛陀立刻叫人把那女子找来。佛陀问：‘你追随阿难，想要什么？’那女子说：‘我听说阿难没有妻子，我也没丈夫，我想做阿难的妻子。’佛陀说：‘阿难是沙门，没有头发，你愿意剃掉头发吗？我让阿难娶你做妻子。’那女子说：‘我愿意剃掉头发。’佛陀说：‘你回去告诉你的母亲，剃了头发再来。’ 那女子回到母亲那里，说：‘母亲不能让阿难娶我，我自己去打听佛陀的消息。佛陀说：“剃了头发来，我就让阿难娶你做妻子。”’母亲说：‘我从小就保护你的头发，你为什么要给沙门做妻子？国内有许多大富豪，我自然能把你嫁给他们。’那女子说：‘我无论生死都要和阿难做夫妻。’母亲说：

English version: The woman forced Ananda (Buddha's attendant) to lie down with her, but Ananda refused. The woman's mother then lit a fire, grabbed Ananda's clothes, and said to Ananda, 'If you don't become my daughter's husband, I will throw you into the fire.' Ananda, considering himself a Shramana (Buddhist monastic) now found himself in this situation, unable to escape, so he clasped his hands and called upon the Buddha. The Buddha immediately knew of this and used his divine power to rescue Ananda. Ananda went to the Buddha and said, 'Yesterday I went begging for food and saw a woman by the water, and I asked her for water. Today, someone named Matanggi (Matanggi) invited me to her house for a meal. As soon as I went out, she grabbed me, wanting to give her daughter to me as a wife; I uphold the Buddha's precepts and cannot take a wife.' When the woman saw Ananda escape, she cried at home. Her mother said, 'Those who believe in the Buddha, I said I cannot overcome them, I told you that before!' The woman cried incessantly, constantly thinking of Ananda. The next day, the woman came to look for Ananda herself, and again saw Ananda begging for food, so she followed behind Ananda, looking at Ananda's feet, looking at Ananda's face. Ananda felt ashamed, lowered his head and did not look at her, avoiding her, but the woman still followed him relentlessly. Ananda returned to the Buddha, and the woman guarded the door, Ananda did not come out, and the woman cried and went home. Ananda went forward and reported to the Buddha, 'The Matanggi woman followed me again today, and will come again tomorrow.' The Buddha immediately called for the woman to see him. The Buddha asked, 'What do you want from following Ananda?' The woman said, 'I heard that Ananda has no wife, and I have no husband, I want to be Ananda's wife.' The Buddha said, 'Ananda is a Shramana and has no hair, are you willing to shave your head? I will have Ananda take you as his wife.' The woman said, 'I am willing to shave my head.' The Buddha said, 'Go back and tell your mother to shave your head and come back.' The woman returned to her mother and said, 'Mother cannot get Ananda for me, I went to inquire about the Buddha's message myself. The Buddha said, "Come back with your head shaved, and I will have Ananda take you as his wife." ' The mother said, 'I have protected your hair since you were little, why do you want to be a Shramana's wife? There are many wealthy people in the country, I can naturally marry you to them.' The woman said, 'I will be Ananda's wife whether I live or die.' The mother said: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“汝何为辱汝种？”女言：“母爱我者，当随我心所喜。”母即垂泪下刀，剃女头发。 女还到佛所言：“我已剃头发。”佛言：“汝爱阿难何等？”女言：“我爱阿难眼、爱阿难鼻、爱阿难口、爱阿难声、爱阿难行步。” 佛言：“眼中有泪，鼻中有涕，口中有唾，耳中有垢，身中有屎尿皆臭处。其作夫妻者，便有恶处中便生子，有子便有死亡，死亡有哭㴃，此于身有何等益？” 女即自思惟，恶露形中，所有正心，则得阿罗汉道，以得阿罗汉。 佛语女：“起至阿难所。”女惭愧低头，长跪于佛前言：“实愚痴故逐阿难，今我心已开，如冥中有灯火；如乘船船坏得岸；如盲人得扶；老人得持杖行，今佛与我道，我心中开如是。” 诸沙门俱问佛言：“是女母为蛊道，何缘得阿罗汉道？” 佛言：“诸沙门欲闻知是女不？” 诸沙门言：“我曹当受教。” 佛言：“是摩登女，先时已五百世，为阿难作妇。五百世中，相敬重，相贪爱，于今同于经戒道中得道，于今夫妻相见如兄弟状，是经令诸沙门知女意如是。” 诸沙门则起前，为佛作礼。 佛说摩登女解形中六事经 现代汉语译本 ‘你为何要羞辱你的种族？’ 女子说：‘母亲爱我，就应当顺从我心中所喜悦的。’ 母亲随即流着眼泪，拿起刀剃了女儿的头发。 女子回到佛陀那里说：‘我已经剃了头发。’ 佛陀说：‘你爱阿难（Ananda，佛陀的十大弟子之一）什么？’ 女子说：‘我爱阿难的眼睛、爱阿难的鼻子、爱阿难的嘴巴、爱阿难的声音、爱阿难的行走姿态。’ 佛陀说：‘眼睛里有眼泪，鼻子中有鼻涕，嘴巴里有唾沫，耳朵里有污垢，身体里有屎尿，都是臭秽之处。如果结为夫妻，便在这些污秽之处产生孩子，有了孩子便有死亡，死亡便有哭泣哀号，这对自身有什么益处呢？’ 女子随即自己思索，在这充满污秽的身体中，只要有正直的心，就能证得阿罗汉（Arhat，断尽烦恼，证得解脱的圣者）的果位，因此证得了阿罗汉果。 佛陀对女子说：‘起来，到阿难那里去。’ 女子惭愧地低下头，长跪在佛陀面前说：‘实在是因为愚痴才追逐阿难，现在我的心已经开悟，如同黑暗中有灯火；如同乘坐的船坏了而到达了岸边；如同盲人得到了搀扶；老人得到了拐杖行走，现在佛陀给了我正道，我心中开悟就是这样。’ 众沙门（Sramana，佛教出家修行者）一起问佛陀说：‘这位女子的母亲使用了蛊术吗？她为何能证得阿罗汉道？’ 佛陀说：‘各位沙门想知道这位女子的事情吗？’ 众沙门说：‘我们应当接受教诲。’ 佛陀说：‘这位摩登女（Matangi，印度种姓制度中的一种低种姓）在过去五百世中，一直是阿难的妻子。五百世中，他们互相尊敬，互相贪爱，如今一同在经戒道中得道，如今夫妻相见如同兄弟一般，这部经让各位沙门知道女子的心意就是这样。’ 众沙门随即起身，走到佛陀面前，向佛陀行礼。 佛说摩登女解形中六事经

English version ‘Why do you disgrace your lineage?’ The woman said, ‘If my mother loves me, she should follow what my heart desires.’ Her mother then shed tears, took a knife, and shaved her daughter's hair. The woman returned to the Buddha and said, ‘I have already shaved my hair.’ The Buddha said, ‘What do you love about Ananda (one of the ten principal disciples of the Buddha)?’ The woman said, ‘I love Ananda's eyes, I love Ananda's nose, I love Ananda's mouth, I love Ananda's voice, I love Ananda's manner of walking.’ The Buddha said, ‘In the eyes there are tears, in the nose there is mucus, in the mouth there is saliva, in the ears there is dirt, in the body there is excrement and urine, all of which are foul places. If they become husband and wife, then children are born from these foul places, and with children comes death, and with death comes weeping and wailing. What benefit is there in this for oneself?’ The woman then reflected on herself, that within this body full of filth, if one has a righteous mind, one can attain the path of an Arhat (a perfected person who has attained nirvana), and thus she attained Arhatship. The Buddha said to the woman, ‘Rise and go to Ananda.’ The woman lowered her head in shame, knelt before the Buddha, and said, ‘It was truly out of ignorance that I pursued Ananda. Now my mind is enlightened, like a lamp in the darkness; like reaching the shore when the boat is wrecked; like a blind person being supported; like an old person having a staff to walk with. Now the Buddha has given me the path, and my mind is enlightened in this way.’ The Sramanas (wandering ascetics or monks) all asked the Buddha, ‘Did this woman's mother use witchcraft? How could she attain the path of an Arhat?’ The Buddha said, ‘Do you Sramanas wish to know about this woman?’ The Sramanas said, ‘We should receive your teaching.’ The Buddha said, ‘This Matangi (a woman from a low caste) has been Ananda's wife for five hundred lifetimes in the past. In those five hundred lifetimes, they respected each other and were mutually attached. Now they have both attained the path in the discipline of the scriptures. Now husband and wife see each other as siblings. This sutra lets you Sramanas know the woman's intention is like this.’ The Sramanas then rose, went before the Buddha, and paid homage to the Buddha.
