大正藏第 14 册 No. 0554 佛说奈女耆婆经 No. 554 [No. 553] 佛说奈女耆婆经 后汉安世高译 佛在世时，维耶离国王苑中，自然生一奈树，枝叶繁茂，实又加大，既有光色，香美非凡。王实爱此奈，自非宫中尊贵美人，不得啖此奈果。 其国中有梵志居士，财富无数，一国无双，又聪明博达，才智超群，王重爱之，用为大臣。 王请梵志，饭食毕，以一奈赏与之。梵志见奈香美非凡，乃问王曰：“此奈树下，宁有小栽可得乞不？”王曰：“大多小栽，吾恐妨其大树，辄除去之。卿若欲得，今当相与。”即以一奈栽与。 梵志得归种之，朝夕灌溉，日日长大，枝条茂好，三年生实，光彩大小，如王家奈。梵志大喜，自念：“我家资财无数，不减于王，唯无此奈，以为不如，今已得之，为无减王。”即取食之，而大苦涩，了不可食。 梵志更大愁恼，乃退思惟：“当是土无肥润故耳。”乃捉取百牛之乳，以饮一牛，复取一牛乳，煎为醍醐，以灌奈根。日日灌之，到至明年，实乃甘美，如王家奈；而树边忽复生一瘤节，大如手拳，日日增长。梵志心念：“忽有此瘤节，恐妨其实；适欲斫去，复恐伤树。”连日思惟，迟回未决 现代汉语译本： 佛陀在世的时候，在维耶离（Viyali）国王的花园中，自然生长出一棵奈树，枝繁叶茂，果实又大又多，而且光泽鲜亮，香气和味道都非常美好。国王非常喜爱这棵奈树，只有宫中尊贵的美人，才能品尝这奈树的果实。 这个国家中有一位梵志（Brahmin）居士，拥有无数的财富，在全国无人能比，而且聪明博学，才智超群，国王非常器重他，任用他为大臣。 国王邀请梵志吃饭，饭后，赏赐给他一个奈果。梵志看到奈果香气和味道都非常美好，就问国王说：‘这奈树下，有没有小树苗可以乞讨？’国王说：‘有很多小树苗，我担心妨碍大树生长，就都除掉了。如果您想要，现在就送给您。’于是就把一棵奈树苗送给了他。 梵志得到树苗后带回家种植，早晚灌溉，树苗日日长大，枝条茂盛美好，三年后开始结果，果实的光泽和大小，和国王家的奈果一样。梵志非常高兴，心想：‘我家资财无数，不比国王差，只是没有这种奈果，觉得不如国王，现在已经得到了，就不比国王差了。’于是摘取果实食用，却非常苦涩，根本无法下咽。 梵志更加愁恼，于是退下来思考：‘应该是土壤不够肥沃的缘故。’于是取来一百头牛的乳汁，喂养一头牛，又取一牛乳汁，煎熬成醍醐（clarified butter），用来浇灌奈树的根部。日日浇灌，到了第二年，果实果然变得甘甜美味，和国王家的奈果一样；但是树边忽然又长出一个瘤节，大如拳头，日日增长。梵志心想：‘忽然长出这个瘤节，恐怕会妨碍果实生长；想要砍掉它，又恐怕伤到树。’连续几天思索，迟疑不决。

English version: At the time when the Buddha was in the world, in the garden of the King of Viyali (维耶离), a Nai tree grew naturally. Its branches and leaves were lush, and its fruits were large and plentiful, with a bright luster and extraordinary fragrance and taste. The king loved this Nai tree very much, and only the noble and beautiful women in the palace were allowed to taste its fruit. In that country, there was a Brahmin (梵志) householder who possessed countless riches, unmatched in the entire nation. He was also intelligent, erudite, and exceptionally talented. The king valued him greatly and appointed him as a minister. The king invited the Brahmin to a meal, and after the meal, he rewarded him with a Nai fruit. The Brahmin, seeing the extraordinary fragrance and taste of the Nai fruit, asked the king, 'Are there any small saplings under this Nai tree that I could beg for?' The king said, 'There are many small saplings, but I was afraid they would hinder the growth of the large tree, so I removed them. If you want one, I will give it to you now.' So he gave him a Nai sapling. The Brahmin took the sapling home and planted it, watering it morning and evening. The sapling grew day by day, its branches becoming lush and beautiful. After three years, it began to bear fruit, the luster and size of which were the same as the Nai fruit in the king's house. The Brahmin was overjoyed and thought to himself, 'My family has countless riches, no less than the king's, but I lacked this Nai fruit, which made me feel inferior to the king. Now that I have obtained it, I am no longer inferior to the king.' So he picked a fruit and ate it, but it was extremely bitter and completely inedible. The Brahmin was even more distressed, so he retreated to ponder, 'It must be because the soil is not fertile enough.' So he took the milk of a hundred cows and fed it to one cow, and then took the milk of one cow and boiled it into clarified butter (醍醐, *dáihú*), using it to irrigate the roots of the Nai tree. He irrigated it daily, and by the following year, the fruit indeed became sweet and delicious, just like the Nai fruit in the king's house. However, a tumor suddenly grew on the side of the tree, as large as a fist, growing day by day. The Brahmin thought to himself, 'This tumor has suddenly grown, and I am afraid it will hinder the growth of the fruit. I want to chop it off, but I am afraid of hurting the tree.' He pondered for days, hesitant and undecided. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

，而节中忽生一枝，正指上向，洪直调好，高出树头，去地七丈，其杪乃分作诸枝，周围傍出，形如偃盖，华叶茂好胜于本树。 梵志怪之：“不知枝上当何所有？”乃作栈阁，登而视之。见枝上偃盖之中，乃有池水，既清且香，又如众华，彩色鲜明。披视华下，有一女儿，在池水中。梵志抱取，归长养之，名曰奈女。至年十五，颜色端正，天下无双，宣闻远国。 有七国王，同时俱来，诣梵志所，求娉奈女以为夫人。梵志大恐怖，不知当以与谁，乃于园中，架一高楼，以奈女着上，出谓诸王曰：“此女非我所生，自出于奈树之上，亦不知是天、龙、鬼神女耶？鬼魅之物？今七王俱来求之，我设与一王，六王当怒，不敢爱惜也。女今在园中楼上，诸王便自共议，有应得者，便自取去，非我所制也。” 于是七王口共诤之，纷纭未决。至其夕夜，萍沙王从伏窦中入，登楼就之共宿。明晨当去，奈女白曰：“大王幸枉威尊，接近于我，今复相舍而去，若其有子，则是王种，当何所付？”王曰：“若是男儿，当以还我；若是女儿，便以与汝。”王即脱手金镮之印，以付奈女，以是为信。便出语群臣曰：“我已得奈女，与共一宿，亦无奇异，故如凡人，故不取耳。”萍沙军中皆称万岁，曰：“我王已得奈女 现代汉语译本：突然，树干中间生出一根树枝，笔直向上生长，经过洪直的修剪，高出树头七丈，树梢分出许多枝条，向四周伸展，形状像倒扣的伞盖，花和叶子茂盛美好，胜过原本的树木。 梵志（Brahmacarin，修行者）对此感到奇怪：‘不知道这树枝上会有什么？’于是搭建栈阁，登上观看。看见树枝上的倒扣伞盖之中，有一个水池，既清澈又芳香，池中还有各种鲜艳的花朵。拨开花朵一看，有一个女儿在池水中。梵志将她抱起，带回家中抚养，给她取名叫奈女。到十五岁时，容貌端庄美丽，天下无双，名声传到遥远的国家。 有七个国王同时前来，拜访梵志，请求娶奈女为夫人。梵志非常害怕，不知道应该把她嫁给谁，于是在园中搭建一座高楼，把奈女安置在楼上，出来对众位国王说：‘这个女儿不是我所生，而是从奈树上自己出现的，也不知道她是天女、龙女、鬼神女，还是鬼魅之物？现在七位国王都来求娶她，如果我只给一位国王，其他六位国王一定会愤怒，我不敢偏袒任何一方。现在女儿就在园中的楼上，各位国王自己商议，谁应该得到她，就自己去娶走，我无法做主。’ 于是七位国王争论不休，纷乱难决。到了晚上，萍沙王（PingSha King）从秘密通道进入，登上楼与奈女同宿。第二天早晨要离开时，奈女对他说：‘大王您屈尊降贵，与我亲近，现在又要离我而去，如果我怀了孩子，那是您的血脉，应该托付给谁呢？’国王说：‘如果是男孩，就还给我；如果是女孩，就留给你。’国王随即脱下手上的金戒指，交给奈女作为信物。然后出来告诉群臣说：‘我已经得到奈女，与她共度一夜，也没什么奇异之处，和凡人一样，所以我不娶她。’萍沙王的军队都高呼万岁，说：‘我们的国王已经得到奈女了！’

English version: Suddenly, a branch sprouted from the middle of the trunk, growing straight upwards. After Hongzhi trimmed it, it rose seven zhang (丈, a unit of length) above the treetop. Its tip divided into many branches, extending outwards in all directions, forming a shape like an inverted canopy. The flowers and leaves were lush and beautiful, surpassing the original tree. The Brahmacarin (梵志, Brahmacarin, a religious practitioner) was amazed by this: 'I wonder what could be on this branch?' So he built a scaffold and climbed up to look. He saw that within the inverted canopy on the branch, there was a pool of water, both clear and fragrant, and there were also various colorful flowers. Peeking beneath the flowers, he found a girl in the pool. The Brahmacarin picked her up, took her home, and raised her, naming her Nai Nu (奈女, Nai Girl). By the age of fifteen, her appearance was dignified and beautiful, unparalleled in the world, and her fame spread to distant countries. Seven kings came at the same time, visiting the Brahmacarin and requesting to marry Nai Nu as their queen. The Brahmacarin was very afraid, not knowing whom he should give her to. So he built a tall building in the garden, placed Nai Nu on it, and came out to say to the kings: 'This girl was not born of me, but appeared on the Nai tree by herself. I don't know if she is a celestial maiden, a dragon maiden, a spirit maiden, or a demonic being. Now that seven kings have come to seek her, if I give her to only one king, the other six kings will be angry, and I dare not favor any one of you. Now the girl is in the building in the garden. You kings should discuss among yourselves, and whoever is destined to get her, take her away yourselves. I cannot make the decision.' So the seven kings argued endlessly, and a decision could not be reached. That night, King PingSha (萍沙王, PingSha King) entered through a secret passage, climbed the building, and spent the night with Nai Nu. The next morning, as he was about to leave, Nai Nu said to him: 'Your Majesty has condescended to be close to me, and now you are leaving me. If I become pregnant, that will be your bloodline. To whom should I entrust the child?' The king said: 'If it is a boy, return him to me; if it is a girl, keep her for yourself.' The king then took off the gold ring from his hand and gave it to Nai Nu as a token. Then he came out and told his ministers: 'I have already obtained Nai Nu and spent a night with her, but there was nothing extraordinary about it, just like an ordinary person, so I will not take her.' The troops of King PingSha all shouted 'Long live the king!' saying, 'Our king has obtained Nai Nu!' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 。”六王闻之，便各还去。

奈女后生得男儿，儿生之时，手中抱持针药囊出。梵志曰：“此国王之子，而执持医器，必是医王。”名曰耆婆。 至年八岁，聪明高才，学问书䟽，越殊伦匹，与比邻小儿游戏，心常轻诸小儿，以不如己。诸小儿共骂之曰：“无父之子，淫女所生，何敢轻我？” 耆婆愕然，默而不答。便归问母曰：“我视子曹，皆不如我，而反骂我言：‘无父之子。’我父今者，为在何许？”母曰：“汝父者正萍沙王是也。”耆婆曰：“萍沙王乃在罗阅祇国，去此五百里，何缘生我？若如母言，何以为证？”母即出印镮示之曰：“此则汝父镮也。” 耆婆省之，见有萍沙王印文，便奉持此镮，往到罗阅祇国。径入宫门，门无诃者，即到王前为王作礼，长跪白王言：“我是王子，奈女所生，今年八岁，始知是大王种类，故持指镮印信，远来归家。” 王见印文，忆昔日之誓，知是其子，怅然怜之，以为太子。涉历二年后，阿阇世王生，耆婆因白王曰：“我初生时手持针药囊，是应当为医也。王虽以我为太子，非我所乐；王今自有嫡子生矣，应袭尊嗣，我愿得行学医术。”王即听之。 王曰：“汝不为太子者，不得空食王禄，应学医道。”王即命敕国中诸上手医，尽 六位国王听了这些话，便各自回去了。 后来，奈女（Nai Nü）生了一个男孩。孩子出生时，手中抱着针药囊。梵志（Fàn Zhì）说：‘这一定是国王的儿子，而且拿着医疗器械，将来必定是医王。’于是给他取名为耆婆（Qí Pó）。 到了八岁时，耆婆（Qí Pó）聪明过人，才华横溢，学问胜过同辈。他和邻居的小孩一起玩耍时，心里常常轻视他们，认为他们不如自己。那些小孩就一起骂他说：‘没有父亲的儿子，**所生，凭什么敢轻视我们？’ 耆婆（Qí Pó）听了很惊讶，沉默不语。回家后便问母亲说：‘我看那些孩子，都不如我，他们反而骂我说：“没有父亲的儿子。”我的父亲现在在哪里？’母亲说：‘你的父亲就是频婆娑罗王（Pín Pó Suō Luó Wáng）。’耆婆（Qí Pó）说：‘频婆娑罗王（Pín Pó Suō Luó Wáng）在罗阅祇国（Luó Yuè Qí Guó），距离这里五百里，怎么会生下我？如果像您说的那样，有什么可以证明呢？’母亲就拿出印镮给他看，说：‘这就是你父亲的镮。’ 耆婆（Qí Pó）仔细察看，看到上面有频婆娑罗王（Pín Pó Suō Luó Wáng）的印文，便拿着这个印镮，前往罗阅祇国（Luó Yuè Qí Guó）。直接进入宫门，没有人阻拦他，他便走到国王面前，向国王行礼，长跪禀告说：‘我是王子，是奈女（Nai Nü）所生，今年八岁，才知道是大王的后代，所以拿着指镮印信，从远方来归家。’ 国王看到印文，想起以前的誓言，知道这是自己的儿子，心中怜悯，想立他为太子。过了两年后，阿阇世王（Ā Shé Shì Wáng）出生，耆婆（Qí Pó）于是禀告国王说：‘我出生时手中拿着针药囊，是应当做医生的。大王虽然想立我为太子，但我并不喜欢；大王现在已经有了嫡子出生，应该继承王位，我希望能够去学习医术。’国王就答应了他。 国王说：‘你如果不做太子，就不能白白地享用王家的俸禄，应该去学习医道。’国王就命令国内所有医术高明的医生，都

The six kings, hearing this, each returned to their own kingdoms. Later, Nai Nü (Nai Nü - Name of a woman) gave birth to a son. At the time of his birth, the child held a needle and medicine bag in his hand. The Brahmin (Fàn Zhì - A member of the highest Hindu caste) said, 'This must be the son of a king, and holding medical instruments, he will surely be a king of medicine.' He was named Jīva (Qí Pó). By the age of eight, Jīva (Qí Pó) was exceptionally intelligent and talented, surpassing his peers in learning. When he played with the neighboring children, he often looked down on them, thinking they were inferior to him. The children would scold him, saying, 'Son of a fatherless mother, born of a **, how dare you look down on us?' Jīva (Qí Pó) was astonished and remained silent. He returned home and asked his mother, 'I see those children, and they are not as good as I am, yet they scold me, saying, "Son of a fatherless mother." Where is my father now?' His mother said, 'Your father is King Bimbisāra (Pín Pó Suō Luó Wáng).' Jīva (Qí Pó) said, 'King Bimbisāra (Pín Pó Suō Luó Wáng) is in the kingdom of Rājagṛha (Luó Yuè Qí Guó), five hundred leagues from here. How could he have fathered me? If it is as you say, what proof is there?' His mother then took out a signet ring and showed it to him, saying, 'This is your father's ring.' Jīva (Qí Pó) examined it closely and saw the seal of King Bimbisāra (Pín Pó Suō Luó Wáng) on it. He took the signet ring and went to the kingdom of Rājagṛha (Luó Yuè Qí Guó). He entered the palace gate directly, and no one stopped him. He went before the king, bowed to him, knelt, and said, 'I am a prince, born of Nai Nü (Nai Nü), and I am eight years old. Only now do I know that I am of the Great King's lineage. Therefore, I bring this finger ring as proof and have come from afar to return home.' The king saw the seal and remembered his past vow. Knowing that this was his son, he felt pity for him and wanted to make him the crown prince. Two years later, King Ajātasattu (Ā Shé Shì Wáng) was born. Jīva (Qí Pó) then said to the king, 'When I was born, I held a needle and medicine bag in my hand, so I should be a doctor. Although Your Majesty wishes to make me the crown prince, it is not what I desire. Now that Your Majesty has a legitimate son, who should inherit the throne, I wish to go and study medicine.' The king agreed. The king said, 'If you do not become the crown prince, you cannot eat the royal food for nothing. You should study medicine.' The king then ordered all the skilled doctors in the kingdom to --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
