English version: 'He will come today.' Then, in a short while, Jivaka (the famous physician) arrived. The woman was overjoyed and went out to greet him, bowing her head to his feet. Kneeling with her palms together, she said, 'I wish to be Jivaka's (the famous physician) servant, serving him for life, to repay the kindness of being brought back to life.' Jivaka (the famous physician) said, 'I am a physician, traveling around to treat illnesses, and I have no fixed abode. What use would I have for a servant? If you truly wish to repay my kindness, give me five hundred taels of gold. I do not need this gold for myself. The reason I ask for it is that when ordinary people learn the Way, they should thank their teacher. Although the teacher has nothing to teach me, I was once a disciple. Now that I have your gold, I will give it to him.' The woman then offered five hundred taels of gold to Jivaka (the famous physician), who accepted it and gave it to his teacher. Then he said to the king, 'I will temporarily return home to visit my mother, going to the country of Vaisali.' In the country, there was also a boy from the Kalavata family who loved to learn martial arts. He made a wooden horse, more than seven feet tall, and practiced on it every day, trying to learn how to mount it. He managed to get on the horse, and after practicing for a long time, he suddenly lost his footing and fell to the ground, dying instantly. When Jivaka (the famous physician) heard of this, he went and used his medicinal eye to examine the boy's abdomen. He saw that the liver was twisted backward, and the qi was blocked, causing his death. He then used a golden knife to cut open the abdomen, explored with his hands, and turned the liver back to its proper position. He then applied three kinds of divine ointment: one to heal the area where his hand had grasped, one to clear the flow of qi, and one to close the surgical wound. After finishing, he instructed the father, 'Be careful not to startle him; he will recover in three days.' The father followed the instructions and quietly cared for the boy. On the third day, the boy exhaled and woke up, as if waking from a nap. He immediately sat up. Soon after, Jivaka (the famous physician) also arrived. The boy joyfully went out to greet him, bowing his head to the ground, kneeling and saying, 'I wish to be Jivaka's (the famous physician) slave, serving him for life, to repay the kindness of being brought back to life.' Jivaka (the famous physician) said, 'I am a physician, traveling around to treat illnesses. The families of the sick are all vying to use me. What use would I have for a slave? My mother raised me with diligence and hardship, and I have not yet repaid her kindness. If you wish to thank me, you can give me five hundred taels of gold to repay my' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

母恩。”于是取金以上奈女，还归罗阅祇国。耆婆活此两人，驰名天下，莫不闻知。 又南方有大国，去罗阅祇八千里，萍沙及诸小国皆臣属之。其王疾病，积年不瘥，恒苦瞋恚，睚眦杀人，人举目视之亦杀，低头不仰亦杀，使人行迟亦杀，疾走亦杀。左右侍人，不知当何措手足。医师合药，辄嫌有毒亦杀之。前后所杀，宫女傍臣，及医师之辈，不可称数。病日增甚，毒热攻心，烦满短气，如火烧身。闻有耆婆名，即为下书，敕萍沙王，徴召耆婆。 耆婆闻此王多杀医师，大以恐怖，萍沙又怜其年小，恐为所杀，适欲不遣，畏见诛伐。父子相守，昼夜忧愁，不知何计。尔时，萍沙王乃将耆婆，俱往问佛。 佛告耆婆：“汝宿命时，与我约誓，俱当救护天下人病。我治内病，汝治外病，今我得佛，故如本愿，会生我前。此王病笃，远来迎汝，如何不往？急往救护之，好作方便，令病必愈，王不杀汝。” 耆婆便承佛威神，往到王所，诊省脉理，及以药王照之，见王五脏及百脉之中血气扰扰，悉是蛇虿之毒周匝身体。 耆婆白王：“王病可治，治之保愈，然宜得入见于太后，咨议合药，若不见太后，药终不成。” 王闻此语，不解其故，意甚欲怒，然患身病，宿闻耆婆之名，故远迎 现代汉语译本：于是（她）拿了黄金以上供给女儿，然后返回罗阅祇国（Rājagṛha，古印度摩揭陀国首都）。耆婆（Jīvaka）治好了这两个人，名声传遍天下，无人不知。 又南方有个大国，距离罗阅祇国（Rājagṛha）八千里，频婆娑罗（Bimbisāra）以及其他小国都臣服于它。这个国王生病，多年没有好转，总是感到愤怒，动不动就杀人，人们抬头看他也要被杀，低头不看他也要被杀，让人走慢了也要被杀，走快了也要被杀。左右侍奉的人，不知道该如何是好。医生配药，他总是怀疑有毒，也要杀掉医生。前后被杀的宫女、近臣，以及医生之类的人，数都数不清。病情一天比一天严重，毒热攻心，烦躁胸闷，呼吸短促，如同火烧身。听说有耆婆（Jīvaka）的名声，就下令给频婆娑罗王（Bimbisāra），征召耆婆（Jīvaka）。 耆婆（Jīvaka）听说这个国王杀了很多医生，非常害怕。频婆娑罗王（Bimbisāra）又怜悯他年纪小，担心他被杀，本不想让他去，又害怕被国王讨伐。父子俩相对无言，日夜忧愁，不知道该怎么办。这时，频婆娑罗王（Bimbisāra）就带着耆婆（Jīvaka），一起去请教佛陀。 佛陀告诉耆婆（Jīvaka）：‘你前世曾与我约定，共同救护天下人的疾病。我治疗内病，你治疗外病，现在我成了佛，所以如你本来的愿望，（你）会生在我的面前。这个国王病重，远道而来迎接你，你怎么能不去呢？赶快去救治他，好好想办法，让他的病一定能好，国王不会杀你的。’ 耆婆（Jīvaka）于是凭借佛陀的威神之力，前往国王那里，诊断脉象，又用药王来观察，看到国王的五脏和百脉之中血气紊乱，都是蛇蝎的毒素遍布全身。 耆婆（Jīvaka）对国王说：‘您的病可以治好，治好了一定能痊愈，但是应该让我去拜见太后，商议配药，如果见不到太后，药就配不成。’ 国王听到这话，不明白其中的缘故，心里非常生气，但是因为身患疾病，早就听说过耆婆（Jīvaka）的名声，所以才远道来迎接他。

English version: Thereupon, she took gold and provided for her daughter, and then returned to the city of Rājagṛha (capital of the ancient Magadha kingdom in India). Jīvaka (a famous physician) cured these two people, and his name spread throughout the world, known to all. Furthermore, there was a large kingdom in the south, eight thousand li (ancient Chinese unit of distance) away from Rājagṛha (capital of the ancient Magadha kingdom in India), to which Bimbisāra (King of Magadha) and other small kingdoms were subordinate. Its king was ill, and had not recovered for many years. He was constantly angry, killing people at the slightest provocation. If people looked up at him, they would be killed; if they looked down, they would also be killed; if they walked slowly, they would be killed; if they walked quickly, they would be killed. The attendants around him did not know what to do. When physicians prepared medicine, he would suspect it was poisonous and kill them. The number of palace women, close ministers, and physicians who had been killed before and after was countless. His illness grew worse day by day, with toxic heat attacking his heart, causing agitation, shortness of breath, and a burning sensation throughout his body. Having heard of the fame of Jīvaka (a famous physician), he sent a decree to King Bimbisāra (King of Magadha), summoning Jīvaka (a famous physician). Jīvaka (a famous physician) heard that this king had killed many physicians and was greatly frightened. King Bimbisāra (King of Magadha) also pitied his young age and feared that he would be killed, so he initially did not want to send him, but he was afraid of being attacked by the king. Father and son were silent, worried day and night, not knowing what to do. At that time, King Bimbisāra (King of Magadha) took Jīvaka (a famous physician) to consult the Buddha. The Buddha told Jīvaka (a famous physician): 'In your past life, you made a vow with me to jointly save the diseases of all people in the world. I treat internal diseases, and you treat external diseases. Now that I have become a Buddha, it is according to your original wish that (you) will be born before me. This king is seriously ill and has come from afar to welcome you. How can you not go? Go quickly to treat him, think of a good way to ensure that his illness will be cured, and the king will not kill you.' Jīvaka (a famous physician) then, relying on the power of the Buddha, went to the king's place, diagnosed his pulse, and examined him with the 'Medicine King' (a method of diagnosis). He saw that the king's five internal organs and hundreds of meridians were in turmoil, and that the toxins of snakes and scorpions were all over his body. Jīvaka (a famous physician) said to the king: 'Your Majesty's illness can be cured, and if cured, it will surely be healed. However, I should be allowed to see the Queen Mother and discuss the preparation of the medicine. If I cannot see the Queen Mother, the medicine cannot be made.' When the king heard this, he did not understand the reason, and was very angry, but because he was suffering from illness and had long heard of the fame of Jīvaka (a famous physician), he had come from afar to welcome him. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

之，冀必有益，且是小儿知无他奸，忍而听之，即遣青衣黄门，将入见太后。 耆婆白太后：“王病可治，今当合药，宜密启其方，不得宣露，宜愿屏左右。”太后即遣青衣黄门去。耆婆因问太后：“向省王病，见王身中血气，悉是蛇虿之毒，似非人类，王为定是谁子？太后以实语我，我今能治；若不语我，我则不治，病不得愈。” 太后曰：“我昔曾于金柱殿中昼卧，忽有物来压我身上，我时恍惚若梦若觉，状如魇梦，遂与情通。忽然而寤，见有大虿长三尺余从我上去，则觉有胎，王实是此虿子也。我羞耻此，未曾出口，童子今乃觉之，何若神妙！若病可治，愿以王命，委嘱童子；今者治之，当用何药？” 耆婆曰：“唯有醍醐耳。”太后曰：“咄！童子慎莫道此醍醐，而王大恶闻醍醐之气，又恶闻醍醐之名，前后坐口道醍醐而死者，数百千人，汝今道此必当杀汝；以此饮王，终不得下，愿更用他药。” 耆婆曰：“醍醐治毒，毒病恶闻醍醐是也。王病若微及是他毒，为有余药可以愈之。虿毒既重，又已匝王身体，自非醍醐终不能消。今当煎炼化令成水，无气无味，王意不觉，自当饮之，药下必愈，无可忧也。”便出见王曰：“向入见太后，已启药方，今当合之，十五日当成。今我有五愿 现代汉语译本：因此，我希望这样做一定有好处，而且这小孩看起来没有其他恶意，所以就忍耐着听他的，于是就派遣青衣黄门，带他进去见太后。 耆婆（Jivaka，名医）对太后说：‘王的病可以医治，现在应当配药，应该秘密地告诉我药方，不要泄露出去，最好屏退左右。’太后就遣走了青衣黄门。耆婆（Jivaka）于是问太后：‘刚才我诊察王的病情，看到王身体中的血气，全部都是蛇蝎的毒素，看起来不像人类，王到底是谁的儿子？太后您如实告诉我，我现在就能医治；如果不告诉我，我就不医治，病就不能痊愈。’ 太后说：‘我过去曾经在金柱殿中白天睡觉，忽然有东西压在我身上，我当时恍惚若梦若醒，状态就像魇梦，于是就与它发生了关系。忽然醒来，看见有一只大蝎子，长三尺多，从我身上离开，我就觉得有了身孕，王确实是这蝎子的儿子啊。我为此感到羞耻，从未曾说出口，你现在竟然察觉了，真是太神奇了！如果病可以医治，我愿意把王的性命，委托给你；现在要医治，应当用什么药？’ 耆婆（Jivaka）说：‘只有醍醐（ghrita-manda，牛奶提炼的精华）了。’太后说：‘哎！你可千万不要说出醍醐（ghrita-manda）这个词，王最讨厌听到醍醐（ghrita-manda）的气味，又讨厌听到醍醐（ghrita-manda）的名字，以前因为说出醍醐（ghrita-manda）而死的，有数百千人，你现在说这个一定会杀了你的；用这个给王喝，最终也喝不下去，希望你用其他的药。’ 耆婆（Jivaka）说：‘醍醐（ghrita-manda）能治疗毒，有毒的病才讨厌听到醍醐（ghrita-manda）这个词。王的病如果轻微，或者只是其他的毒，还有剩余的药可以医治。蝎毒既然很重，又已经遍布王的身体，如果不是醍醐（ghrita-manda）最终不能消除。现在应当煎熬炼化，使它变成水，没有气味，王不会察觉，自然会喝下去，药一下去一定会痊愈，没有什么可担心的。’于是出来见王说：‘刚才进去见太后，已经说了药方，现在应当配药，十五天应当完成。现在我有五个愿望’
