English version The Sutra of the Buddha Speaking on the Deva Java-nna-dharma Receiving the Three Refuges and Being Delivered from Evil Destinies No. 595 The Sutra of the Buddha Speaking on the Deva Java-nna-dharma Receiving the Three Refuges and Being Delivered from Evil Destinies Translated by the Tripiṭaka Master, Shramana Fa Tian, bestowed with the Purple Robe, of Nalanda Monastery in Magadha, Central India, under Imperial Decree. Thus have I heard: At one time, the World-Honored One was in Śrāvastī, at the Jeta Grove in Anathapindika's Park, together with a great assembly of Bhikshus. At that time, there was a Deva named Java-nna-dharma, whose heavenly reward was about to end, with only seven days remaining. The signs of the five decays manifested beforehand: his body lacked majesty and virtue, filth and impurities gradually arose, the flower garlands on his head all withered and decayed, foul odors emanated from all parts of his body, and sweat flowed from under both armpits. Because of these reasons, Java-nna-dharma did not enjoy his seat, but rolled about on the ground, weeping sadly, and saying: 'Woe! Woe! Mānas-Giri Pool; Woe! Woe! Bathing ponds; Woe! Woe! Jeweled chariots and the mixed groves of coarse pleasures, such gardens and parks, I shall no longer play in; Woe! Woe! Pāriyatraka flowers, I shall never pick again, the soft ground adorned with various jewels, I shall never tread upon again; Woe! Woe! The heavenly hosts, dignified and exquisitely beautiful, who constantly attended and protected me, now I must part from them.' At that time, other Devas, having seen this, went to Indra and reported: 'Lord of the Devas! Java-nna-dharma is experiencing the five signs of decay, with only seven days of life remaining. He is rolling on the ground, weeping sadly, saying such words: 'Woe! Woe! Mānas-Giri, bathing ponds, and so on; Woe! Woe! Jeweled chariots and the mixed groves of coarse pleasures, such gardens and parks, I shall no longer play in; Woe! Woe! Pāriyatraka flowers, I shall never pick again, the soft ground adorned with various jewels, I shall never tread upon again; Woe! Woe! The heavenly hosts of courtesans --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

女,端严殊妙,常所侍卫,今相舍离。’天主,我见是已,心甚伤切,故来告白。” 尔时帝释天主,心悲愍故,往嗟袜曩法所,而告之言:“天子!云何而汝贤者宛转于地,悲哀啼泣,说诸苦事,伤动见者?” 时嗟袜曩法,忽闻是语,从地而起,整服肃容,合掌而立,白帝释言:“天主!我今寿命唯余七日。命终之后,堕阎浮提王舍大城,以宿业故而受猪身。天主,既受彼身,于多年中,食啖粪秽,我观此苦,是故愁忧。” 尔时帝释天主,闻是语已,心甚悲愍,告嗟袜曩法天子言:“贤者,汝可诚心归命三宝。应作是言:‘归依佛两足尊,归依法离欲尊,归依僧众中尊。’”时彼嗟袜曩法天子,以死怖故,畏傍生故,白帝释言:“憍尸迦!我今归依佛两足尊,归依法离欲尊,归依僧众中尊。”时彼天子,受三归已,心不间断,以至命终。 诸天之法,下智有见,不能观上。时帝释天主,观彼天子,生于何处,为生南阎浮提王舍大城受猪身耶?为不受猪身?尽彼天眼,观之不见。又观傍生鬼界,亦复不见;又观娑诃世界人间,亦复不见;乃至四大王众天,及忉利天,尽彼观察,都不能见。 尔时帝释天主,既不见已,心生疑虑。于是帝释往祇树林,诣世尊所,顶礼佛足,退坐一面 现代汉语译本:‘那位端庄美丽的天女,一直侍奉着我,现在却要离我而去。’天主(Indra,帝释天),我看到这些,内心非常悲伤,所以前来禀告。” 当时,帝释天主(Indra,帝释天)心生悲悯,前去慰问嗟袜曩法(Chu-sa-wa-na-fa,天子名号),并对他说:‘天子!为何您这位贤者会倒在地上,悲哀啼哭,诉说种种苦事,让看到的人都感到伤心?’ 当时,嗟袜曩法(Chu-sa-wa-na-fa,天子名号)忽然听到这些话,从地上起身,整理好衣着,神情肃穆,合掌而立,对帝释天(Indra,帝释天)说:‘天主!我现在寿命只剩下七天。命终之后,会堕落到阎浮提(Jambudvipa,人世间)的王舍大城(Rajagrha,古印度城市名),因为过去的业力而受猪身。天主,一旦受了猪身,在多年之中,只能吃粪便污秽之物,我想到这种痛苦,所以忧愁。’ 当时,帝释天主(Indra,帝释天)听到这些话后,内心非常悲悯,告诉嗟袜曩法天子(Chu-sa-wa-na-fa,天子名号)说:‘贤者,您应当诚心归命三宝。应当这样说:‘归依佛(Buddha,觉悟者),两足尊(the Honored One with Two Feet,佛的尊称);归依法(Dharma,佛法),离欲尊(the Honored One free from desires,佛法的尊称);归依僧(Sangha,僧团),众中尊(the Honored One among the assembly,僧团的尊称)。’’当时那位嗟袜曩法天子(Chu-sa-wa-na-fa,天子名号),因为害怕死亡,畏惧堕入畜生道,对帝释天(Indra,帝释天)说:‘憍尸迦(Kausika,帝释天的别名)!我现在归依佛(Buddha,觉悟者),两足尊(the Honored One with Two Feet,佛的尊称);归依法(Dharma,佛法),离欲尊(the Honored One free from desires,佛法的尊称);归依僧(Sangha,僧团),众中尊(the Honored One among the assembly,僧团的尊称)。’当时那位天子,接受三归依后,心念不间断,直到命终。 诸天的能力,下等智慧只能看到下面的情况,不能看到上面的情况。当时帝释天主(Indra,帝释天)观察那位天子,看他投生到何处,是投生到南阎浮提(Jambudvipa,人世间)的王舍大城(Rajagrha,古印度城市名)受猪身了吗?还是没有受猪身?用尽他的天眼,也看不到。又观察畜生道和鬼道,也同样看不到;又观察娑婆世界(Saha World,我们所居住的世界)的人间,也同样看不到;乃至四大王众天(Caturmaharajika Heaven,四大天王所居住的天界),以及忉利天(Trayastrimsa Heaven,欲界第二天),用尽他的观察力,都不能看到。 当时帝释天主(Indra,帝释天)既然看不到,心中产生了疑惑。于是帝释天(Indra,帝释天)前往祇树林(Jetavana,佛陀常住的精舍),来到世尊(The World-Honored One,佛陀的尊称)所在之处,顶礼佛足,退到一旁坐下。

English version: 'That beautiful and dignified celestial maiden, who always attended me, is now about to leave me.' Lord Indra (Indra, the lord of the devas), seeing this, my heart is deeply saddened, and so I come to inform you.' At that time, Lord Indra (Indra, the lord of the devas), with a compassionate heart, went to lament with Chu-sa-wa-na-fa (Chu-sa-wa-na-fa, name of a deva), and said to him: 'Celestial being! Why is it that you, a wise one, are prostrate on the ground, weeping in sorrow, recounting various sufferings, causing those who see you to be saddened?' At that time, Chu-sa-wa-na-fa (Chu-sa-wa-na-fa, name of a deva), suddenly hearing these words, arose from the ground, straightened his robes, composed his countenance, joined his palms, and said to Lord Indra (Indra, the lord of the devas): 'Lord! My lifespan is now only seven days remaining. After my life ends, I will fall into the great city of Rajagrha (Rajagrha, name of an ancient Indian city) in Jambudvipa (Jambudvipa, the human world), and due to past karma, I will receive the body of a pig. Lord, once I receive that body, for many years I will eat filth and excrement. I contemplate this suffering, and therefore I am sorrowful.' At that time, Lord Indra (Indra, the lord of the devas), hearing these words, felt great compassion in his heart, and said to the deva Chu-sa-wa-na-fa (Chu-sa-wa-na-fa, name of a deva): 'Wise one, you should sincerely take refuge in the Three Jewels (Triratna). You should say these words: 'I take refuge in the Buddha (Buddha, the awakened one), the Honored One with Two Feet; I take refuge in the Dharma (Dharma, the teachings of the Buddha), the Honored One free from desires; I take refuge in the Sangha (Sangha, the monastic community), the Honored One among the assembly.' At that time, that deva Chu-sa-wa-na-fa (Chu-sa-wa-na-fa, name of a deva), because of the fear of death and the dread of being born into the animal realm, said to Indra (Indra, the lord of the devas): 'Kausika (Kausika, another name for Indra)! I now take refuge in the Buddha (Buddha, the awakened one), the Honored One with Two Feet; I take refuge in the Dharma (Dharma, the teachings of the Buddha), the Honored One free from desires; I take refuge in the Sangha (Sangha, the monastic community), the Honored One among the assembly.' At that time, that deva, having received the Three Refuges, maintained his mindfulness without interruption, until the end of his life. The abilities of the devas are such that lower wisdom can only see what is below, and cannot see what is above. At that time, Lord Indra (Indra, the lord of the devas) observed that deva, to see where he was reborn, whether he was reborn in the great city of Rajagrha (Rajagrha, name of an ancient Indian city) in Jambudvipa (Jambudvipa, the human world) and received the body of a pig, or whether he did not receive the body of a pig. He exhausted his divine eye, but could not see him. He also observed the animal realm and the realm of ghosts, but also could not see him; he also observed the human realm of the Saha World (Saha World, the world we live in), but also could not see him; even the Heaven of the Four Great Kings (Caturmaharajika Heaven, the heaven where the Four Heavenly Kings reside) and the Trayastrimsa Heaven (Trayastrimsa Heaven, the second heaven of the desire realm), he exhausted his observation, but could not see him at all. At that time, Lord Indra (Indra, the lord of the devas), since he could not see him, became doubtful in his heart. Thereupon, Indra (Indra, the lord of the devas) went to Jetavana (Jetavana, the monastery where the Buddha often stayed), approached the World-Honored One (The World-Honored One, the title of the Buddha), bowed at the Buddha's feet, and withdrew to sit on one side. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
