人趣品颂竟。 谄诳行毁禁， 毒害斗诤深， 广纵于无明， 必堕修罗趣。 修罗品颂竟。 弃名利欢乐， 远离于亲眷， 持禁中下品， 生彼四王天。 父母亲族等， 种种作供养， 远诤奉律仪， 获生忉利天。 慈喜无伤杀， 和颜离爱憎， 纯善守尸罗， 得生夜摩界。 多闻持法教， 修慧求解脱， 积德具威仪， 获生于睹史。 若人自出家， 布施坚持戒， 令彼大安乐， 得生变化天。 上根有情类， 持戒亦最上， 功德超越前， 生他化自在。 持戒生天上， 禅定亦如是， 智慧若薰修， 牵引复生慧， 善恶业果报， 我说无虚谬。 由善得安乐， 作恶获苦恼， 老病死轮转， 果报自如是。 审观此三种， 勿爱须弃舍， 求福远离罪， 了绝于色声， 通达真实义， 必至大解脱。 佛说六道伽陀经 现代汉语译本 《人趣品》的颂文结束。 如果行为充满谄媚和欺骗，违犯戒律， 充满毒害和争斗， 并且在无明（avidyā）中放纵， 必定会堕入修罗趣（Asura-gati）。 《修罗品》的颂文结束。 如果舍弃名利和欢乐， 远离亲属眷恋， 持守戒律中的下品， 就能往生到四王天（Cāturmahārājika）。 如果对父母亲族等， 以种种物品进行供养， 远离争斗，奉行律仪， 就能获得往生忉利天（Trāyastriṃśa）的机会。 如果心怀慈悲和喜悦，不伤害杀戮， 面容和善，远离爱憎， 纯粹善良，守护尸罗（Śīla，戒律）， 就能得以往生夜摩界（Yāmadevaloka）。 如果广闻佛法，持守法教， 修习智慧，求解脱， 积累功德，具足威仪， 就能获得往生兜率天（Tuṣita）的机会。 如果有人自己出家， 布施，坚持戒律， 令他人获得巨大的安乐， 就能得以往生化乐天（Nirmāṇarati）。 如果是有上等根器的有情众生， 持戒也是最上等的， 功德超越前者， 就能往生他化自在天（Parinirmita-vaśavartin）。 持戒能够往生天上， 禅定也能达到同样的效果， 如果熏修智慧， 牵引力会再次产生智慧， 善恶业的果报， 我说的话没有虚假错误。 因为行善而得到安乐， 作恶则会获得苦恼， 在衰老、疾病和死亡的轮回中， 果报自然就是这样。 仔细观察这三种现象， 不要贪爱，必须舍弃， 寻求福报，远离罪恶， 了断对于色和声的执着， 通达真实的意义， 必定能够达到大解脱。 《佛说六道伽陀经》

English version The verses of the 'Human Realm' chapter are completed. If one's conduct is full of flattery and deceit, violates precepts, Is filled with poison and strife, And indulges in ignorance (avidyā), One will surely fall into the Asura-gati (realm of Asuras). The verses of the 'Asura Realm' chapter are completed. If one abandons fame, profit, and joy, Keeps away from relatives and loved ones, Maintains the lower grade of precepts, One will be born in the Cāturmahārājika (Heaven of the Four Kings). If one offers various kinds of offerings To parents, relatives, and so on, Keeps away from strife and upholds the Vinaya (rules of discipline), One will obtain birth in the Trāyastriṃśa (Heaven of Thirty-three). If one has compassion and joy, does not harm or kill, Has a kind face, is free from love and hatred, Is purely virtuous, and guards Śīla (precepts), One will be born in the Yāmadevaloka (Heaven of Yama). If one is learned, upholds the Dharma teachings, Cultivates wisdom, and seeks liberation, Accumulates merit, and possesses dignity, One will obtain birth in the Tuṣita (Heaven). If one renounces the household life oneself, Practices generosity, and firmly upholds the precepts, Brings great joy to others, One will be born in the Nirmāṇarati (Heaven of Enjoying Transformations). If one is a sentient being with superior faculties, And also upholds the highest precepts, And one's merits surpass the former, One will be born in the Parinirmita-vaśavartin (Heaven of Controlling Others' Creations). Upholding precepts leads to birth in the heavens, Samādhi (meditative absorption) also does the same, If wisdom is cultivated, The force of attraction will again produce wisdom, The karmic results of good and evil deeds, My words are without falsehood or error. Through good deeds, one obtains happiness, By doing evil, one obtains suffering, In the cycle of old age, sickness, and death, The karmic results are naturally like this. Carefully observe these three phenomena, Do not be attached, one must abandon them, Seek blessings, keep away from sins, Cut off attachment to form and sound, Penetrate the true meaning, One will surely attain great liberation.
