English version: 'He is the support of the unsupported, the refuge of the homeless.' The king entreated the Buddha again: 'May you bestow your compassionate grace and allow me to offer you sustenance for two months.' The Buddha still did not agree. The king became even more earnest, kneeling with palms together, and said with tears: 'Life is difficult to preserve, like a lamp under dew, which is extinguished in an instant by the impermanent wind. Now I must bid farewell to the Buddha, when will I ever see your revered face again? I hope you will accept my offering for two months!' The Buddha still did not agree. The king then threw himself at the Buddha's feet: 'May the World Honored One especially bestow great compassion and allow your disciples and the assembly to offer you sustenance for one month!' The World Honored One could not bear to refuse and agreed. The king then rose, his heart filled with joy and reverence, circumambulated the Buddha three times, bowed and took his leave to return to the palace. He ordered the kitchen to prepare all kinds of delicacies, making sure they were exquisite and delicious, fresh and sweet, fragrant and clean. He decorated the palace with silk ribbons and banners, and arranged various precious beds and seats. He cleaned and repaired the palace, sprinkled the ground with fragrant water, and completed all preparations. The next day, when the time came, the king faced the World Honored One from the main road, burned incense and knelt: 'Buddha, the Heaven of Heavens! The Sage understands the time, may you and the Holy Assembly descend your divine light and come to my palace to enjoy vegetarian food.' At that time, the World Honored One ordered his disciples to wear their Dharma robes, hold their bowls, and go to accept the king's invitation. The Buddha and the Holy Assembly came to the palace together, and the king, with utmost sincerity, welcomed the Buddha at the palace gate with flowers, incense, and music, and invited them to be seated. The king personally offered water, going around to each member of the Holy Assembly, and personally poured and served various delicious foods, fresh and clean, fragrant and sweet, treating everyone equally. He provided daily offerings of food, bedding, medicine, and other necessities. He also ordered the outer palace to repair the roads and plant street trees; all seven streets, even to the river, stopped using tents and beds, and decorated with banners, like a heavenly street; and newly made five hundred seven-jeweled canopies. The people of Vaisali (Vaisali, an ancient Indian city), hearing that the Buddha was coming, also leveled and repaired the seven streets, planted trees, and set up tents and beds. The king, ministers, elders, and lay people each led their respective assemblies to go out of the city to welcome the Buddha. When the one-month period was over, the Buddha and the Holy Assembly left the palace and came to the road, and the king led the assembly to scatter flowers on the Buddha, covering the ground. The assembly gathered, like… --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

秋水长投于大海。白明月珠校七宝盖，王以恭敬，手执奉上，以覆世尊。佛与大众寻路而行，至江水侧。 时王上佛五百七宝盖，大海龙王亦复敬奉五百七宝盖，恒水诸龙亦俱上佛五百七宝盖。时天帝释将诸天众亦复献佛五百七宝盖。时维耶离大众迎者，服饰严丽，青马、青车、青盖、青幡，服饰皆青；赤马、赤车，服饰皆赤；黄马、黄车，服饰皆黄；白马、白车，服饰皆白；黑马、黑车，服饰皆黑；色色部别，将从无数。佛遥见之，告诸弟子：“欲知天帝出游观时威仪，如是。” 维耶离国，奉迎上佛五百七宝盖，各以其盖前至佛所，各白佛言：“佛天中天！普世覆盖，愿受盖施。”佛受其施，余留一盖。 时诸大众，心各怀疑，不审为是宿世积德行善之报。海龙、恒龙、忉利天帝、维耶离国、罗阅祇王，各各奉上七宝妙盖，同时俱会，又疑何故不受一盖？ 于是，阿难知众怀疑，长跪叉手，前白佛言：“惟，天中天！大众普疑，今日何缘，有是二千五百七宝宝盖，同时俱至，奉上世尊，为是前世善本报乎？今现福耶？唯愿世尊，决一切疑。” 佛告阿难：“一心专听，今当决除汝等所疑。乃往过去无央数劫时，有转轮圣王，名曰摩调(晋言大天)，典主四域。王有千子，七宝导从 现代汉语译本：秋水长流汇入大海。国王用饰有白明月珠的七宝伞盖，以恭敬之心，亲手奉上，遮覆于世尊之上。佛陀与大众沿着道路前行，到达江水边。 当时，国王敬献给佛陀五百顶七宝伞盖，大海龙王也同样恭敬地奉献了五百顶七宝伞盖，恒河的众龙也一起敬献给佛陀五百顶七宝伞盖。当时，天帝释提桓因率领诸天众也敬献给佛陀五百顶七宝伞盖。当时，毗耶离（Vaisali）的大众前来迎接佛陀，服饰华丽，青色的马、青色的车、青色的伞盖、青色的旗幡，服饰都是青色；红色的马、红色的车，服饰都是红色；黄色的马、黄色的车，服饰都是黄色；白色的马、白色的车，服饰都是白色；黑色的马、黑色的车，服饰都是黑色；各个**（原文如此，此处可能指不同的队伍或组织）分别，跟随的人数众多。佛陀远远地看见他们，告诉诸位弟子：‘想要知道天帝出游时的威仪，就像这样。’ 毗耶离国（Vaisali）的人们，奉献给佛陀五百顶七宝伞盖，各自拿着他们的伞盖来到佛陀面前，各自对佛陀说：‘佛陀，天中之天！愿您普世覆盖，接受我们的伞盖施舍。’佛陀接受了他们的施舍，只留下一顶伞盖。 当时，各位大众，心中各自怀疑，不知道这是不是宿世积累功德行善的报应。海龙王、恒河龙王、忉利天帝（Trayastrimsa Deva）、毗耶离国（Vaisali）、罗阅祇王（Rajagriha King），各自奉献上七宝妙盖，同时聚集在一起，又疑惑为什么佛陀不接受所有的伞盖？ 于是，阿难（Ananda）知道大众心存疑惑，长跪合掌，上前对佛陀说：‘世尊，天中之天！大众普遍疑惑，今天是什么缘故，有这两千五百顶七宝宝盖，同时来到这里，奉献给世尊，这是前世善行的果报吗？还是今生显现的福德呢？希望世尊，解除一切疑惑。’ 佛陀告诉阿难（Ananda）：‘专心听着，我现在就为你们解除疑惑。在过去无央数劫之前，有一位转轮圣王，名叫摩调（Matyau）（晋语意为大天），统治着四大部洲。国王有一千个儿子，以七宝为引导。’

English version: The autumn waters flow long into the great sea. The king, with reverence, offered a seven-jeweled canopy adorned with white bright moon pearls, to cover the World Honored One. The Buddha and the assembly walked along the road, arriving at the riverside. At that time, the king offered the Buddha five hundred seven-jeweled canopies, and the Dragon King of the Great Sea also reverently offered five hundred seven-jeweled canopies. The dragons of the Ganges River also together offered the Buddha five hundred seven-jeweled canopies. At that time, Sakra, Lord of the Devas (Indra), with his heavenly hosts, also offered the Buddha five hundred seven-jeweled canopies. At that time, the assembly of Vaisali (维耶离) came to greet the Buddha, their attire splendid and adorned, with blue horses, blue carriages, blue canopies, and blue banners, their attire all in blue; red horses, red carriages, their attire all in red; yellow horses, yellow carriages, their attire all in yellow; white horses, white carriages, their attire all in white; black horses, black carriages, their attire all in black; each **(the original text, possibly referring to different teams or organizations) separately, with countless followers. The Buddha saw them from afar and said to his disciples, 'If you wish to know the majesty of Sakra, Lord of the Devas (天帝释提桓因) when he goes out for a tour, it is like this.' The people of Vaisali (维耶离) offered the Buddha five hundred seven-jeweled canopies, each with their canopy coming before the Buddha, each saying to the Buddha, 'Buddha, the Honored One among the devas! May you be universally covered, and accept our offering of canopies.' The Buddha accepted their offerings, keeping only one canopy. At that time, the assembly each had doubts in their hearts, not knowing whether this was the retribution for accumulating merit and performing good deeds in past lives. The Dragon King of the Great Sea, the Dragon King of the Ganges River, Sakra, Lord of the Devas (忉利天帝), the people of Vaisali (维耶离), and the King of Rajagriha (罗阅祇王), each offered wonderful seven-jeweled canopies, gathering together at the same time, and they also wondered why the Buddha did not accept all the canopies? Then, Ananda (阿难), knowing the doubts in the assembly's minds, knelt down, joined his palms, and stepped forward to say to the Buddha, 'World Honored One, the Honored One among the devas! The assembly is universally doubtful, what is the reason today that these two thousand five hundred seven-jeweled canopies have come here together, offered to the World Honored One, is this the reward for good deeds in past lives? Or is it the merit manifested in this life? May the World Honored One resolve all doubts.' The Buddha said to Ananda (阿难), 'Listen attentively, and I will now dispel your doubts. In the past, countless eons ago, there was a Chakravarti King (转轮圣王) named Matyau (摩调) (translated as 'Great Heaven' in the Jin Dynasty), who ruled over the four continents. The king had a thousand sons, with seven treasures as his guide.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

。王末少子，见其父王七宝御盖，还问母曰：‘我当何时得服此盖，以自光饰？’母言：‘惟子，王千子中汝最末小，若无大王，太子承嗣；若太子崩，以次承继，展转千子，汝骨朽腐，未央得盖。’重问母曰：‘无盖望耶？’因闻有死，形骸当朽，宿福追逮，悚然心恐，惟人生世，必当有死。因报母曰：‘唯愿见听，舍家学道。’母甚愍伤，不违其愿。母告之曰：‘听汝舍家，若卿道成，要还见吾，尔乃相听。’对曰：‘如敕，道成当还。’ “即诣林薮，除剃须发，被着法服，静处勤修，精进不懈，竭尽尘劳，成缘觉道。游行诸国，县邑村落，福度众生。所种善本，忽忆母要，便上升空，犹如雁王，还本国宫，与母相见。阖宫大小，见道士神通，莫不欢喜。王诸婇女八万四千，共请令住；道士慈仁，不逆一切，便受其请。诸婇女辈，于宫后园，为设庐窟，止宿其中。举宫供养衣食、床卧、疾药所须，朝暮礼事。 “一切世间，壮者皆老，强健必病，生者皆死。时辟支佛于其宫园，便舍寿命。举宫婇女，薪油花香，供养以礼，敛骨起塔，朝暮礼拜，烧香然灯。 “时王大天巡四域还，临幸后园，见有此塔，顾问侍臣：‘何故有是？’婇女对曰：‘此是圣王最下少子，离家学道，于此寿终，为立是 现代汉语译本 王的小儿子，看见他的父王有七宝装饰的御盖，就问他的母亲说：‘我什么时候才能得到这顶御盖来装饰自己呢？’母亲说：‘孩子，在父王的众多儿子中，你是最小的一个。如果没有大王，就由太子继承王位；如果太子去世，就依次由其他儿子继承。这样轮流下去，即使你的骨头都腐烂了，也未必能得到御盖。’他又问母亲说：‘难道我没有得到御盖的希望了吗？’因为听到有死亡这件事，知道形体终将朽坏，想到过去所造的福业会追随自己，心中感到恐惧，想到人生在世，必定会有死亡。于是告诉母亲说：‘希望您能允许我离开家庭去学道。’母亲非常怜悯他，没有违背他的愿望。母亲告诉他说：‘允许你离开家庭，如果你修道成功，一定要回来见我，我才相信你。’他回答说：‘遵从您的命令，修道成功后一定回来。’ 他随即前往林中，剃除须发，穿上法衣，安静地居住并勤奋地修行，精进不懈，竭力消除尘世的烦恼，最终成就了缘觉道。他游历各个国家、县城、乡村，以福德教化众生。在广种善根之后，忽然想起与母亲的约定，便升上天空，像雁王一样，回到自己的国家，与母亲相见。整个王宫上下，见到道士的神通，没有不欢喜的。国王的众多妃嫔，共有八万四千人，一起请求他留下居住；道士慈悲仁爱，不拒绝任何人的请求，便接受了她们的请求。众妃嫔在王宫的后花园，为他建造了住所，供他居住。整个王宫供养他衣食、床铺、医药等所需之物，早晚都向他礼拜。 世间的一切，强壮的人都会衰老，强健的人必定会生病，活着的人终将死亡。当时，这位辟支佛在他的王宫花园中，便舍弃了生命。整个王宫的妃嫔，用柴火、油、鲜花、香等，以礼仪供养他，收集他的遗骨建造佛塔，早晚都礼拜，焚香点灯。 当时，国王大天巡视四方归来，来到后花园，看见这座佛塔，询问侍从：‘为什么这里会有这座塔？’妃嫔回答说：‘这是圣王最小的儿子，离家学道，在这里去世，所以为他建造了这座塔。’
