English version: Then he sighed and said, 'This water and these pears are heavenly medicine, both fragrant and delicious. Those who drink and eat them will have peace of mind, all diseases will be cured, and their strength will be doubled. It is a pity that they are not near the capital, so that the people could all obtain them, but they grow in the deep mountains, unknown to people.' Then he entered the mountains to search for other fruits. U, being greedy, could not restrain his appetite. Hearing Jiyu (Qiyu, name of a person) praise it as a divine medicine and seeing that Jiyu had already eaten it, he thought it must be harmless. So he took the remaining pears and ate them, and drank all the remaining water. Then he began to have diarrhea, diarrhea like pouring water. He collapsed on the ground and lay there. When he got up, he was dizzy and could not move. Jiyu said, 'If the king takes my medicine, his illness will surely be cured. However, the power of the medicine has not yet taken effect, and the remaining poison has not been completely eliminated. If I go back now, I will surely be killed. You know nothing. Getting up is to try to catch me to relieve yourself of responsibility, so you are sick. The illness itself is not painful. Be careful not to move, and you will be better in three days. If you get up and chase me, you will surely die.' Then he left on the elephant. Jiyu then passed through the village and told the village chief and the head of the neighborhood, 'This is the messenger sent by the king. Now he has suddenly become ill. You must quickly go and carry him home, take good care of him, make his bed thick, and give him rice porridge. Be careful not to let him die, or the king will destroy your country.' After speaking, he left and returned to his own country. The village chief and the head of the neighborhood obeyed the order, welcomed him and took care of him. After three days, the poison subsided and the diarrhea stopped. U then went back to see the king, kowtowed and confessed, 'I am truly foolish, disobeying the king's instructions. I believed Jiyu's words and ate the remaining fruit, and was poisoned by him. I had diarrhea for three days, and only got better this morning. I know I deserve to die.' During the three days that U was returning, the king's illness had already been cured. The king recalled, 'I regret sending U.' Seeing U return, he was both sad and happy, and said, 'Fortunately, you did not bring the child with you. If I had been angry, I would have beaten him to death. I received his kindness and my life was saved, but I would have killed him. This would have been extremely unrighteous.' So he regretted the people he had wrongly killed before, and all were reburied with great honor, their families were restored, and they were given money and wealth. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

。思见祇域,欲报其恩,即遣使者,奉迎祇域。祇域虽知王病已差,犹怀余怖不复欲往。 尔时,祇域复诣佛所,接足顶礼,白佛言:“世尊!彼王遣使来唤,为可往不?” 佛告祇域:“汝本宿命已有弘誓,当成功德何得中止?今应更往,汝已治其外病,我亦当治其内病。” 祇域便随使者去,王见祇域甚大欢喜,引与同坐,把持其臂曰:“赖蒙仁者之恩,今得更生,当何以报?当分国土以半相与,宫中婇女,库藏宝物悉当分半,幸愿仁者受之。” 祇域曰:“我本为太子,虽实小国亦有民人珍宝具足,不乐治国故求为医,当行治病,当用土地婇女宝物为?皆所不用。王前听我五愿,外病已愈,今若听一愿,内病可复除愈。” 王曰:“唯听仁教,请复闻一愿之事。” 祇域曰:“愿王请佛从受明法。”因为王说佛功德巍巍特尊。王闻大喜曰:“今欲遣乌臣以白象迎佛,可得致不?” 祇域曰:“不用白象,佛解一切,遥知人心所念。但宿斋戒清净,供具烧香,遥向佛作礼,长跪白请,佛必自来。”王如其言。佛明日与千二百五十比丘俱来,饭食已毕,为王说经。王意开解,便发无上正真道心,举国大小,皆受五戒,恭敬作礼而去。 又㮈女生既奇异,长又聪明 现代汉语译本:祇域(Jivaka,名医)思念着频婆娑罗王,想要报答他的恩情,就派遣使者,去迎接祇域。祇域虽然知道国王的病已经好了,但仍然心怀余悸,不想再去。 当时,祇域再次前往佛陀处所,以头面接足顶礼佛陀,禀告佛陀说:‘世尊!国王派遣使者来召唤我,我可以去吗?’ 佛陀告诉祇域:‘你本来的宿命中已经有弘大的誓愿,应当成就功德,怎么可以中止呢?现在应该再去,你已经治好了他的外在疾病,我也将要治好他的内在疾病。’ 祇域便跟随使者去了,国王见到祇域非常高兴,拉着他一同坐下,握着他的手臂说:‘仰赖仁者的恩德,我今天得以重生,应当用什么来报答您呢?我愿意分一半国土给您,宫中的婇女,库藏的宝物,都应当分一半给您,希望仁者接受。’ 祇域说:‘我本来是太子,即使是小国,也有人民和珍宝,我不喜欢治理国家,所以才求为医生,应当行医治病,要土地、婇女、宝物做什么呢?这些我都用不着。大王之前听从我的五个愿望,外在的疾病已经痊愈,现在如果听从我一个愿望,内在的疾病也可以痊愈。’ 国王说:‘我一定听从您的教诲,请问您这一个愿望是什么?’ 祇域说:‘希望大王迎请佛陀来接受明法。’于是为国王讲述佛陀的功德巍峨殊胜。国王听了非常高兴地说:‘现在我想派遣乌臣用白象去迎接佛陀,可以请到吗?’ 祇域说:‘不用白象,佛陀了解一切,遥远地知道人心中的想法。只要您斋戒清净,准备好供品,焚香,遥远地向佛陀作礼,长跪禀告祈请,佛陀必定会亲自前来。’国王按照他所说的去做。佛陀第二天与一千二百五十位比丘一同前来,用饭完毕,为国王说法。国王心意开解,便发起无上正真道心,举国上下,都受持五戒,恭敬作礼而去。 又有栴檀女,天生既奇异,长大后又聪明。

English version: Jivaka (a famous doctor) thought of King Bimbisara, desiring to repay his kindness, and immediately sent a messenger to welcome Jivaka. Although Jivaka knew that the king's illness had already improved, he still harbored lingering fears and did not want to go again. At that time, Jivaka went to the Buddha's place again, prostrated himself at the Buddha's feet, and said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! The king has sent a messenger to summon me, may I go?' The Buddha told Jivaka: 'You have already made great vows in your past lives, and you should accomplish merits. How can you stop now? You should go again now. You have already cured his external illness, and I will also cure his internal illness.' Jivaka then went with the messenger. The king was very happy to see Jivaka, pulled him to sit down together, and holding his arm, said: 'Thanks to your kindness, I am reborn today. How should I repay you? I am willing to divide half of my kingdom to you, the concubines in the palace, and the treasures in the treasury, all should be divided in half to you. I hope you will accept them.' Jivaka said: 'I was originally a prince. Even if it is a small country, it also has people and treasures. I do not like to govern the country, so I seek to be a doctor. I should practice medicine and cure diseases. What do I need land, concubines, and treasures for? I don't need any of these. Your Majesty listened to my five wishes before, and the external illness has been cured. Now, if you listen to one wish of mine, the internal illness can also be cured.' The king said: 'I will certainly listen to your teachings. Please tell me what this one wish is.' Jivaka said: 'I hope that Your Majesty will invite the Buddha to receive the clear Dharma.' Then he told the king about the Buddha's majestic and supreme merits. The king was very happy to hear this and said: 'Now I want to send Udayin with a white elephant to welcome the Buddha. Can I invite him?' Jivaka said: 'There is no need for a white elephant. The Buddha understands everything and knows the thoughts in people's hearts from afar. As long as you fast and purify yourself, prepare offerings, burn incense, and bow to the Buddha from afar, kneeling and requesting, the Buddha will surely come in person.' The king did as he said. The next day, the Buddha came with twelve hundred and fifty bhikkhus, and after the meal, he preached the Dharma to the king. The king's mind was enlightened, and he developed the supreme and true Bodhi mind. The whole country, from top to bottom, all received the five precepts, respectfully bowed and left. There was also Candana (Sandalwood) daughter, who was born extraordinary and grew up to be intelligent. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English
English version: She (referring to 㮈女, transliterated name) studied with her father from a young age, extensively mastering scriptures and various arts, including astrology and calendrical calculations, surpassing her father in expertise. She was also skilled in vocal music, her voice as beautiful as that of Brahma (the Hindu god of creation). Many women from Karavika (a type of bird, here referring to followers of Brahmanism) and Brahmin (priestly class) families, totaling five hundred, came to study with her, regarding her as a master. 㮈女 often led her five hundred disciples, teaching scriptures and arts, or playing together in gardens and ponds, and performing music. The people of the country did not understand the reason for this, and thus arose ridicule and slander, calling her a **, and her five hundred disciples were all called a licentious party. Moreover, when 㮈女 was born, there were also Sumanā (transliterated name) and Padmā (transliterated name) born in the country at the same time. Sumanā was born in a Sumanā flower (a type of flower). There was a Karavika family in the country that often extracted Sumanā flowers to make fragrant ointment. Suddenly, a nodule grew beside the stone used for extracting the ointment, the size of a pellet, growing larger day by day until it was the size of a fist. The stone then burst open, revealing a cluster of something like fireflies inside the nodule, which shot out and fell to the ground. After three days, Sumanā was born, and after another three days, the flower bloomed. Inside the unfolded flower was a little girl, whom the Karavika family took in and raised, naming her Sumanā. When she grew up, she was beautiful and intelligent, second only to 㮈女. At that time, a blue lotus flower naturally grew in the bathing pond of a Brahmin family. The flower was especially large, growing larger day by day, as large as a five-liter bottle. When the flower unfolded, a girl was seen inside. The Brahmin took her in and raised her, naming her Padmā. When she grew up, she was also beautiful, and her talent and wisdom were the same as Sumanā. The kings of various countries heard that these two women were peerlessly beautiful, and they all came to seek their hand in marriage. The two women said, 'Our birth was not through the womb, but from grass and flowers. This is different from ordinary people. How can we marry like worldly people?' They heard that 㮈女 was intelligent and beautiful, unmatched in the world, and that her birth was the same as theirs. They all bid farewell to their parents and went to serve 㮈女, requesting to be her disciples, learning scriptures and wisdom, surpassing those five hundred people. At that time, the Buddha (the Awakened One) entered the country of Vaiśālī (an ancient Indian city). 㮈女 then led her five hundred disciples out to greet the Buddha, prostrating with their heads to the ground, kneeling and reporting, 'May the Buddha come to my garden tomorrow to accept alms.' The Buddha silently accepted. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 㮈女还归,办其供具。
