为乌,唯乌神足步行,能及此象。即呼乌曰:“汝急往逐取鼠来,生将以还,我自目前捶杀之。汝性常不能廉,贪于饮食,故名为乌。此医师辈,多喜行毒,若鼠为汝设食,慎莫食之!” 乌受敕便行,及之于山中,乌曰:“汝何故以醍醐中王,而言是药?王故令我追呼汝还,汝急随我还,陈谢自首,庶可望活。汝若欲走,今必杀汝,终不得脱。” 耆婆自念:“我虽作方便求此白象,复不得脱,今当复作方便,何可随去?”乃谓乌曰:“我朝来未食,还必当死,宁可假我须臾,得于山间啖果饮水,饱而就死乎!” 乌见耆婆小儿畏死惧怖,言辞辛苦,矜而听之曰:“促食当去,不得久留。” 耆婆乃取一梨,啮食其半,以毒药着爪甲中,以分余半,便置于地;又取一杯水,先饮其半,又行爪下毒于余水中,复置于地。乃叹曰:“此水及梨,皆是天药,既清香且美,其饮食此者,令人身安,百病皆愈,气力兼倍。恨其不在国都之下,百姓当共得之,而在深山之中,人不知也,便进入山,索求他木果。” 乌性既贪,不能忍于饥渴,又闻耆婆叹为神药,亦见耆婆已饮食之,谓必无毒,便取余梨啖,尽饮余水,即便下痢,痢如注水,躄地而卧起辄眩倒,不能复动。 耆婆往语之曰: 现代汉语译本: 乌鸦是唯一能以神足通步行的,可以追上这头象的鸟。于是国王呼唤乌鸦说:‘你赶紧去追捕那只老鼠回来,要活捉带回来,我亲自当面捶杀它。你天性常常不知廉耻,贪图饮食,所以才叫作乌鸦。那些医生之流,大多喜欢用毒,如果老鼠为你设置食物,你千万不要吃!’ 乌鸦接受命令便出发了,在山中追上了老鼠,乌鸦说:‘你为什么要把醍醐中的国王,说成是药?国王因此命令我来追你回去,你赶快跟我回去,陈述谢罪,或许可以有望活命。你如果想要逃跑,现在必定杀了你,最终也逃脱不了。’ 耆婆心想:‘我即使用方便之法来求得这头白象,也无法逃脱,现在应当再想个办法,怎么能跟他回去呢?’于是对乌鸦说:‘我早上到现在还没有吃东西,回去必定会死,宁可宽限我一会儿,让我可以在山间吃些果子喝些水,吃饱了再去死吧!’ 乌鸦看见耆婆小孩畏惧死亡,言辞恳切,怜悯他而答应说:‘快点吃完就走,不能久留。’ 耆婆于是拿出一个梨,咬吃了一半,用毒药放在指甲中,把剩下的一半梨,就放在地上;又拿一杯水,先喝了一半,又用指甲中的毒药放在剩下的水中,也放在地上。于是叹息说:‘这水和梨,都是天上的神药,既清香又美味,如果饮食了这些,就能使人身体安康,百病都痊愈,气力加倍。可惜它不在国都之下,百姓应当可以一起得到它,而是在深山之中,没有人知道,’便进入山中,寻找其他的木果。 乌鸦天性贪婪,不能忍受饥渴,又听见耆婆赞叹是神药,又看见耆婆已经吃喝了,认为必定没有毒,便拿剩下的梨吃,喝光剩下的水,随即开始腹泻,泻得像水一样,瘫倒在地,起身就头晕目眩,不能再动弹。 耆婆走过去对乌鸦说:

English version: The crow was the only one who could travel with divine speed and catch up with this elephant. So the king called the crow and said, 'You quickly go and capture that rat and bring it back alive, I will personally beat it to death in front of me. Your nature is always shameless and greedy for food, that's why you are called a crow. Those doctors mostly like to use poison, if the rat sets out food for you, be careful not to eat it!' The crow accepted the order and set off, catching up with the rat in the mountains. The crow said, 'Why did you say that the king in the ghee was medicine? The king therefore ordered me to chase you back, you quickly come back with me, confess your guilt, perhaps you can hope to live. If you want to run away, I will definitely kill you now, and you will not be able to escape in the end.' Jivaka (name of the doctor) thought to himself, 'Even if I use expedient means to obtain this white elephant, I will not be able to escape, now I should think of another way, how can I go back with him?' So he said to the crow, 'I haven't eaten since morning, going back I will surely die, would you rather give me a moment, so that I can eat some fruits and drink some water in the mountains, and then die when I am full!' The crow saw that the child Jivaka was afraid of death, and his words were earnest, he pitied him and agreed, saying, 'Eat quickly and leave, you can't stay long.' So Jivaka took a pear, bit and ate half of it, put poison in his fingernails, and put the remaining half of the pear on the ground; he also took a cup of water, drank half of it first, and then put the poison from his fingernails in the remaining water, and also put it on the ground. Then he sighed and said, 'This water and pear are both heavenly medicines, both fragrant and delicious, if you eat and drink these, you can make your body healthy, all diseases will be cured, and your strength will be doubled. It is a pity that it is not under the capital, the people should be able to get it together, but it is in the deep mountains, and no one knows,' then he entered the mountains to search for other tree fruits. The crow's nature was greedy, unable to endure hunger and thirst, and also heard Jivaka praise it as a divine medicine, and also saw that Jivaka had already eaten and drank it, thinking that it must be non-toxic, he took the remaining pear and ate it, drank all the remaining water, and immediately began to have diarrhea, diarrhea like pouring water, collapsed on the ground, and when he got up he was dizzy, unable to move again. Jivaka went over and said to the crow: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“王服我药,病必当愈。然今药力未行,余毒未尽,我今往者必当杀我。汝无所知,起欲得我以解身负,固使汝病。病自无苦,慎莫动摇,三日当瘥;若遂起逐我,必死不疑。”便上象而去。 耆婆则过墟聚,语伍长曰:“此是大国王使,今忽得病,汝等急往舁取归家,好养护之,厚其床席,给与麋粥,慎莫令死,若令死者,王灭汝国。”语毕便去,遂归本国。 伍长承敕,迎取养护,三日毒歇下绝。乌便归见王,叩头自陈曰:“我实愚痴,违负王教,信耆婆言,饮食其余果水,为毒所中,下痢三日,始今旦瘥,自知当死。” 比乌还三日之中,王病已瘥,王自追念,悔遣乌行,见乌来还,且悲且喜曰:“赖卿不即将儿还,当我恚时必当捶杀。我得其恩,命得生活,而反杀之,逆戾罪不细也。”即悔前后所枉杀者,悉更厚葬,复其家门赐与钱财。思见耆婆欲报其恩,即遣使者奉迎耆婆。耆婆虽知王病已瘥,犹怀余怖,不欲复往。耆婆复诣佛所,接足顶礼,白佛言:“世尊!彼土遣使来唤,可往不?” 佛告耆婆:“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,我亦复当治其内病。” 耆婆便随使者去,王见耆娑,而大欢喜,引与同坐,把持其臂曰:“赖蒙仁 现代汉语译本: ‘你服用了我的药,病一定会好。然而现在药力还没有发挥作用,余毒还没有清除干净,我现在去一定会被你杀死。你什么都不知道,起身想要抓我回去,来解除你身体的痛苦,这反而会使你的病情加重。病痛本身并不可怕,千万不要轻举妄动,三天后就会痊愈;如果一定要起身追赶我,必定会死无疑。’说完,耆婆就骑着象离开了。 耆婆于是经过村庄,告诉村长说:‘这是大国王的使者,现在突然得了病,你们赶快去把他抬回家,好好地照顾他,铺厚他的床铺,给他提供米粥,千万不要让他死了,如果让他死了,国王会灭掉你们的国家。’说完就离开了,于是回到自己的国家。 村长接受命令,迎接并照顾他,三天后毒性消退干净。乌便回去见国王,叩头自己陈述说:‘我实在愚蠢,违背了国王的教导,相信了耆婆的话,饮食了其他的果水,被毒所伤,腹泻了三天,今天早上才痊愈,自知应当死去。’ 在比乌回去的三天里,国王的病已经痊愈,国王自己回想,后悔派乌去,见到乌回来,又悲伤又高兴地说:‘幸亏你没有立刻把孩子带回来,如果在我生气的时候,一定会把他打死。我得到他的恩惠,性命得以保全,反而要杀了他,这种悖逆的罪过不小啊。’于是后悔之前所冤枉杀害的人,全部重新厚葬,恢复他们的家门,赐予他们钱财。想要见到耆婆报答他的恩情,就派遣使者去迎接耆婆。耆婆虽然知道国王的病已经痊愈,仍然怀有余悸,不想再去。耆婆再次前往佛陀(Buddha)处,接足顶礼,对佛陀说:‘世尊(World-Honored One)!那个国家派遣使者来召唤我,可以去吗?’ 佛陀告诉耆婆:‘你本来的宿命中,已经有弘大的誓愿,应当成就功德,怎么能够中止呢?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。’ 耆婆于是跟随使者去了,国王见到耆婆,非常高兴,拉着他一起坐下,握着他的手臂说:‘多亏了您的仁

English version: 'You took my medicine, and your illness will surely be cured. However, the medicine's effect has not yet taken hold, and the remaining poison has not been completely eliminated. If I go now, I will surely be killed by you. You know nothing, and getting up to try to bring me back to relieve your physical suffering will only worsen your condition. The illness itself is not to be feared; do not act rashly. You will recover in three days. If you insist on getting up to chase me, you will undoubtedly die.' After saying this, Jivaka (耆婆) rode away on the elephant. Jivaka (耆婆) then passed through a village and told the village headman: 'This is the envoy of the great king, who has suddenly fallen ill. You must quickly go and carry him back home, take good care of him, make his bed comfortable, provide him with rice porridge, and be careful not to let him die. If he dies, the king will destroy your country.' After speaking, he left and returned to his own country. The village headman accepted the order, welcomed and cared for him, and after three days, the poison completely subsided. The envoy Wu (乌) then returned to see the king, kowtowed, and confessed: 'I was truly foolish, disobeying the king's instructions, believing Jivaka's (耆婆) words, and consuming other fruits and water, which poisoned me, causing diarrhea for three days. I have only recovered this morning and know that I deserve to die.' During the three days that Wu (乌) was returning, the king's illness had already healed. The king reflected on his actions and regretted sending Wu (乌). Seeing Wu (乌) return, he was both sad and happy, saying: 'Fortunately, you did not immediately bring the child back. If I had been angry, I would have beaten him to death. I received his kindness and my life was saved, yet I was going to kill him. Such a rebellious crime is no small matter.' He then regretted the wrongful killings he had committed before, had them all reburied with honor, restored their families, and bestowed money and wealth upon them. He wanted to see Jivaka (耆婆) to repay his kindness, so he sent messengers to welcome Jivaka (耆婆). Although Jivaka (耆婆) knew that the king's illness had healed, he still harbored lingering fear and did not want to go again. Jivaka (耆婆) went to the Buddha (佛陀) again, prostrated himself at the Buddha's feet, and said to the Buddha (佛陀): 'World-Honored One (世尊)! That country has sent messengers to summon me. May I go?' The Buddha (佛陀) told Jivaka (耆婆): 'In your past life, you already had a great vow to accomplish merit and virtue. How can you stop now? You should go again. You have already cured his external illness, and I will also cure his internal illness.' Jivaka (耆婆) then went with the messengers. The king was very happy to see Jivaka (耆婆), pulled him to sit down together, and held his arm, saying: 'Thanks to your kind --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

者之恩,今得更生,当何以报?当分国土以半相与,宫内婇女,库藏宝物,悉当分半,幸愿仁者受之。” 耆婆曰:“我本为太子,虽是小国,亦有人民珍宝具足,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,外病得愈,若重复听我一愿,内病可复除愈。” 王曰:“唯听仁教,请复闻一愿之事。” 耆婆曰:“愿王请佛,从受明法。”便为王说佛之功德巍巍特尊。 王闻大喜曰:“今欲遣乌臣白象迎佛,可得致不?”耆婆曰:“不用白象也,佛解一切,遥知人心所念,但宿斋戒清净,供具烧香,遥请向佛作礼,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,饮食已毕,为王说经,王意开解,便发无上正真道心,举国大小,皆受五戒,各各恭敬,作礼而去。 又奈女生既奇异,长又聪明,从父学问,博知经道星历诸术,殊胜于父,加达声乐,音如梵天。诸迦罗越,及梵志家女,合五百人,皆往从学,以为大师。 奈女常从五百弟子讲受经术,或相与游戏园池,及作音乐。国人不解其故,便生谤议,呼为淫女,五百弟子皆号淫党。 又奈女生,时国中复有须曼女及波昙女,亦同时俱生。 须曼女者,生 现代汉语译本:‘您的恩情,让我得以重生,应当如何报答呢?我愿意分一半国土给您,宫内的妃嫔,库藏的宝物,都分一半给您,希望您能接受。’ 耆婆(Jivaka,名医)说:‘我本来是太子,即使是小国,也有人民和充足的珍宝,我不喜欢治理国家才求学医术,难道要用土地、妃嫔、宝物来行医吗?这些我都用不着。大王之前答应我五个愿望,外面的疾病已经痊愈,如果再答应我一个愿望,里面的疾病也可以痊愈。’ 国王说:‘一切听从您的教诲,请说出您另外一个愿望。’ 耆婆(Jivaka,名医)说:‘希望大王迎请佛陀(Buddha),接受佛陀开示的明法。’于是为国王讲述佛陀(Buddha)的功德巍峨殊胜。 国王听了非常高兴地说:‘现在想派乌臣(大臣名)和白象去迎接佛陀(Buddha),可以请到吗?’耆婆(Jivaka,名医)说:‘不用白象,佛陀(Buddha)通晓一切,遥远地知道人们心中的想法,只要您斋戒清净,准备好供品烧香,遥向佛陀(Buddha)作礼,长跪请求,佛陀(Buddha)必定会亲自前来。’国王按照他说的做了。 佛陀(Buddha)第二天与一千二百五十位比丘(bhiksu,出家修行的男性佛教徒)一同前来,用斋完毕,为国王说法,国王心意开解,便发起无上正真道心(anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-citta,追求最高智慧的心),举国上下,都受持五戒(panca-sila,佛教的基本伦理规范),各自恭敬作礼而去。 又,奈女(Nai woman,人名)出生时就很奇异,长大后又聪明,跟随父亲学习,博学经书、星象历法等各种技艺,胜过她的父亲,尤其精通声乐,声音如同梵天(Brahma,印度教的创造神)。各地的居士(upasaka,在家修行的佛教徒),以及婆罗门(Brahmin,印度教的祭司)家的女子,共五百人,都来跟随她学习,把她当作老师。 奈女(Nai woman,人名)经常带领五百名弟子讲授经书技艺,或者一起在园林水池中游玩,以及演奏音乐。国人不了解其中的缘由,便产生诽谤议论,称她为**,五百名弟子都被称为淫党。 又,奈女(Nai woman,人名)出生时,国内还有须曼女(Suman woman,人名)和波昙女(Potam woman,人名),也同时出生。 须曼女(Suman woman,人名)出生时,
