English version: At birth, he held a needle and medicine bag in his hand, indicating he should be a physician. Although the king appointed me as the crown prince, it is not what I desire; now that the king has a legitimate son, who should inherit the throne, I wish to study medicine. The king listened to him, saying, 'If you do not become the crown prince, you cannot idly enjoy the royal stipend; you should study medicine.' The king then ordered all the skilled physicians in the kingdom to teach him all their skills, but Jivaka (Jivaka, a personal name) only played and never seriously studied. The teachers rebuked him, saying, 'Medicine is a humble craft, indeed not suitable for a noble person like the crown prince to study, but the king's order cannot be disobeyed. Since receiving the order, a long time has passed, yet you have not learned even half a prescription. If the king asks me, what shall I say?' Jivaka (Jivaka) said, 'I was born with the credentials of a physician in my hand, so I asked the king to renounce the honor and study medicine. Would I be so lazy as to need the teachers to urge me on? It is simply because the teachers' skills are not worth learning.' Then he took out various classics such as Materia Medica, prescriptions, acupuncture, and pulse diagnosis, and asked the teachers in detail. The teachers were at a loss for words and could not answer. They all stepped down from their seats and bowed to Jivaka (Jivaka), kneeling with their palms together, saying, 'Today we know that you are so divine, indeed beyond our reach. The things you asked just now are all questions that our teachers have been unable to solve for generations. We hope that you can explain them in detail and resolve our doubts of many years.' Jivaka (Jivaka) then explained the meaning to them. The physicians were all very happy, got up again, bowed and saluted him, and accepted his teachings. At that time, Jivaka (Jivaka) thought to himself, 'None of the physicians ordered by the king are worth learning from. Who will teach me medicine?' Then he heard that in Taxila (Taxila, an ancient Indian city), there was a physician named Atreya (Atreya, a personal name), styled Bhingala (Bhingala, a personal name), who was very skilled in medicine and could teach me. At that time, the boy Jivaka (Jivaka) went to that country and reported to Bhingala (Bhingala), saying, 'Master! I now ask you to be my teacher.' He followed him to study medicine. After seven years, he thought to himself, 'When will I finish learning medicine?' He went to the teacher and reported, 'I am now studying medicine,' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 何当有已？”

时师即与一笼器及掘草之具：“汝可于德叉尸罗国面一由旬，求觅诸草，有非是药者持来。” 时祇域即如师敕，于德叉尸罗国面一由旬，求觅非是药者，周竟不得非是药者，所见草木一切物善能分别，知有所用处无非药者。彼即空还，往师所白如是言：“师今当知，我于德叉尸罗国求非药草者，面一由旬，周竟不见非药者，所见草木尽能分别，所入用处。” 师答祇域言：“汝今可去，医道已成。我于阎浮提中，最为第一；我若死后，次复有汝。” 于是，祇域便行治病，所治辄愈，国内知名。后欲入宫，于宫门前，逢一小儿担樵，祇域望视，悉见此儿五藏、肠胃，缕悉分明。祇域心念：“本草经说有药王树，从外照内见人腹藏，此儿樵中得无有药王耶！” 即往问儿：“卖樵几钱？”儿白：“十钱。”便雇钱取樵，下樵置地，闇冥不见腹中。祇域更心思惟：“不知束中何所为是药王？”便解两束，一一取之，以着小儿腹上，无所照见，辄复更取，如是尽两束樵；最后有一小枝，栽长尺余，试取以照，具见腹内。祇域大喜，知此小枝定是药王，悉还儿樵。儿既已得钱，樵又如故，欢喜而去。 尔时，祇域自念：“我今先当治谁？此国既小，又在边方，我今宁可 现代汉语译本：‘什么时候才算完成呢？’ 当时的老师就给他一个笼子和挖掘草的工具：‘你可以在德叉尸罗国（Taxila）方圆一由旬（Yojana，古代印度长度单位，约合12-15公里）的范围内，寻找各种草，把不是药的草拿来。’ 当时祇域（Jivaka）就按照老师的吩咐，在德叉尸罗国方圆一由旬的范围内，寻找不是药的草，找遍了也没有找到不是药的草。他所见到的草木，一切都能善于分辨，知道有什么用处，没有不是药的。他就空手而回，到老师那里禀告说：‘老师现在应当知道，我在德叉尸罗国寻找不是药的草，方圆一由旬，找遍了也没有见到不是药的草，所见到的草木都能分辨，知道可以用于何处。’ 老师回答祇域说：‘你现在可以去了，医道已经学成。我在阎浮提（Jambudvipa，佛教传说中的世界中心）中，最为第一；我如果死后，接下来就是你了。’ 于是，祇域就开始行医治病，所治疗的病都痊愈了，在国内很有名。后来他要入宫，在宫门前，遇到一个小孩子挑着柴，祇域望过去，完全看见了这个孩子的五脏、肠胃，清清楚楚。祇域心想：‘本草经上说有药王树，从外面照可以看见人的腹部内脏，这个孩子挑的柴中莫非有药王树？’ 就上前问小孩：‘卖柴多少钱？’小孩回答：‘十个钱。’就付钱买下了柴，放下柴放在地上，就看不见腹中的情况了。祇域又思考：‘不知道这柴中什么东西是药王？’就解开两捆柴，一一拿起来，放在小孩的肚子上，没有照见什么，就又拿其他的，这样拿完了两捆柴；最后有一根小树枝，大约一尺多长，试着拿来照，就完全看见了腹内的情形。祇域非常高兴，知道这根小树枝一定是药王，就把柴全部还给了小孩。小孩已经得到了钱，柴又完好无损，欢欢喜喜地走了。 当时，祇域自己想：‘我现在先应该治谁的病呢？这个国家既小，又在边远的地方，我不如先’

English version: 'When will it be considered complete?' The teacher then gave him a basket and tools for digging up grass: 'You may search within a Yojana (ancient Indian unit of distance, approximately 12-15 kilometers) around Taxila (Takshashila), seeking various grasses. Bring back any that are not medicinal.' Then Jivaka (Qi Yu) followed his teacher's instructions and searched within a Yojana around Taxila for grasses that were not medicinal. He searched everywhere but could not find any that were not medicinal. All the plants and trees he saw, he could skillfully distinguish, knowing their uses; there were none that were not medicinal. So he returned empty-handed and reported to his teacher, saying: 'Teacher, you should know that I searched for non-medicinal grasses within a Yojana around Taxila, and I could not find any. All the plants and trees I saw, I could distinguish and knew their uses.' The teacher replied to Jivaka: 'You may now go; your medical training is complete. In Jambudvipa (Yan Fu Ti, the world center in Buddhist cosmology), I am the foremost; after my death, you will be next.' Thereupon, Jivaka began to practice medicine, and all those he treated were cured, making him famous in the country. Later, as he was about to enter the palace, he encountered a child carrying firewood in front of the palace gate. Jivaka looked at him and could see the child's five internal organs, intestines, and stomach, all clearly visible. Jivaka thought to himself: 'The herbal texts say there is a medicinal king tree that can illuminate the internal organs of a person from the outside. Could it be that this child has the medicinal king tree in his firewood?' He then went up and asked the child: 'How much do you want for the firewood?' The child replied: 'Ten coins.' He paid the money and took the firewood. When he put the firewood down on the ground, he could no longer see the inside of the abdomen. Jivaka pondered further: 'I wonder what in this bundle is the medicinal king?' He untied two bundles and picked them up one by one, placing them on the child's abdomen, but nothing was illuminated. So he picked up others, and in this way, he exhausted two bundles of firewood. Finally, there was a small branch, about a foot long. He tried using it to illuminate, and he could see the inside of the abdomen completely. Jivaka was overjoyed, knowing that this small branch must be the medicinal king. He returned all the firewood to the child. The child had already received the money, and the firewood was still intact, so he happily left. At that time, Jivaka thought to himself: 'Whom should I treat first? This country is small and located in a remote area. I should rather first' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

还本国始开医道。”于即还归婆迦陀城。 婆迦陀城中，有大长者，其妇十二年中常患头痛，众医治之而不能差。 时祇域闻之，即往其家语守门人言：“白汝长者，有医在门外。”时守门人即入白：“门外有医。” 长者妇问言：“医形貌何似？”答言：“是年少。”彼自念言：“老宿诸医治亦不差，况复年少？”即敕守门人语言：“我今不须医。” 守门人即出语言：“我已为汝白长者，长者妇言：‘今不须医。’”祇域复言：“汝可白汝长者妇，但听我治，若差者随意与我物。” 时守门人复白之：“医作如是言：‘但听我治，若差随意与我物。’”长者妇闻已，自念言：“若如是无所损。”敕守门人唤入。 时祇域入诣长者妇所，问言：“何所患苦？”答言：“患如是如是。”复问：“病从何起？”答言：“从如是如是起。”复问：“病来久近？”答言：“病如许时。”彼问已语言：“我能治汝。”彼即取好药，以酥煎之，灌长者妇鼻，病者口中酥唾俱出。 时病人即器承之，酥便收取，唾别弃之。时祇域见已，心怀愁恼：“如是少酥不净，犹尚悭惜，况能报我？”病者见已，问祇域言：“汝愁恼耶！”答言：“实尔。”问言：“何故愁恼？”答言：“我自念言 现代汉语译本：然后祇域返回自己的国家，开始行医。之后，他回到了婆迦陀城（Pojhada-city）。 在婆迦陀城（Pojhada-city）中，有一位富裕的长者，他的妻子十二年来一直患有头痛，许多医生都医治过，但都无法治好。 当时，祇域（Jivaka）听说了这件事，就前往长者家，对守门人说：‘告诉你的长者，有医生在门外。’守门人立刻进去禀告：‘门外有医生。’ 长者的妻子问道：‘医生长什么样子？’守门人回答说：‘是个年轻人。’她心想：‘那些年老的医生都治不好，更何况是年轻人呢？’于是就命令守门人说：‘我现在不需要医生。’ 守门人出来后说：‘我已经禀告了长者，长者的妻子说：‘现在不需要医生。’’祇域（Jivaka）又说：‘你可以告诉你的长者妻子，只要让我医治，如果治好了，她可以随意给我报酬。’ 守门人又禀告说：‘医生这样说：‘只要让我医治，如果治好了，可以随意给他报酬。’’长者的妻子听了后，心想：‘如果这样，也没有什么损失。’就命令守门人叫他进去。 当时，祇域（Jivaka）进入长者妻子的住所，问道：‘有什么病痛？’她回答说：‘患有这样这样的病。’祇域（Jivaka）又问：‘病是从哪里开始的？’她回答说：‘从这样这样开始的。’祇域（Jivaka）又问：‘病有多久了？’她回答说：‘病有这么久了。’祇域（Jivaka）问完后说：‘我能治好你的病。’他立刻取来好的药材，用酥油煎熬，灌入长者妻子的鼻孔，病人嘴里酥油和唾液一起流了出来。 当时，病人用器皿接着，酥油就收集起来，唾液另外丢弃。当时，祇域（Jivaka）看到后，心中感到忧愁烦恼：‘这么一点点不干净的酥油，都还这么吝啬，更何况是报答我呢？’病人看到后，问祇域（Jivaka）说：‘你感到忧愁烦恼吗？’祇域（Jivaka）回答说：‘确实如此。’病人问道：‘为什么忧愁烦恼？’祇域（Jivaka）回答说：‘我心里想’

English version: Then Jivaka returned to his own country and began to practice medicine. After that, he returned to Pojhada-city (婆迦陀城). In Pojhada-city (婆迦陀城), there was a wealthy elder whose wife had suffered from headaches for twelve years, and many doctors had treated her, but none could cure her. At that time, Jivaka (祇域) heard about this and went to the elder's house, saying to the gatekeeper, 'Tell your elder that there is a doctor outside the gate.' The gatekeeper immediately went in and reported, 'There is a doctor outside the gate.' The elder's wife asked, 'What does the doctor look like?' The gatekeeper replied, 'He is young.' She thought to herself, 'The old doctors couldn't cure me, let alone a young one?' So she ordered the gatekeeper, 'I don't need a doctor now.' The gatekeeper came out and said, 'I have already reported to the elder, and the elder's wife said, 'I don't need a doctor now.'' Jivaka (祇域) said again, 'You can tell your elder's wife that as long as she lets me treat her, if she is cured, she can give me whatever reward she wants.' The gatekeeper reported again, 'The doctor said this: 'As long as she lets me treat her, if she is cured, she can give him whatever reward she wants.'' The elder's wife heard this and thought, 'If that's the case, there's no harm in it.' So she ordered the gatekeeper to call him in. At that time, Jivaka (祇域) entered the elder's wife's residence and asked, 'What is your ailment?' She replied, 'I suffer from such and such ailment.' Jivaka (祇域) asked again, 'Where did the illness start?' She replied, 'It started from such and such.' Jivaka (祇域) asked again, 'How long have you been ill?' She replied, 'I have been ill for this long.' After Jivaka (祇域) asked, he said, 'I can cure your illness.' He immediately took good medicine, fried it with ghee, and poured it into the elder's wife's nostrils, and ghee and saliva flowed out of the patient's mouth together. At that time, the patient used a container to catch it, and the ghee was collected, and the saliva was discarded separately. At that time, Jivaka (祇域) saw this and felt worried and annoyed in his heart: 'Even such a small amount of unclean ghee is so stingy, let alone repaying me?' The patient saw this and asked Jivaka (祇域), 'Are you worried and annoyed?' Jivaka (祇域) replied, 'Indeed.' The patient asked, 'Why are you worried and annoyed?' Jivaka (祇域) replied, 'I thought to myself' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
