王白佛言：“如世尊说，末利夫人饮酒破戒，不起恶心，而有功德、无罪报者，一切人民亦复皆然。何以故？我念近昔舍卫城中，有诸豪族刹利王公因小诤竞乃致大怨，各各结谋兴兵相罚，两家并是国中豪种，复是亲戚，非可执录，纷纭斗战不从理谏，深为忧之。复自念言：‘昔太子时，先王大臣名提违罗，恃其门宗富贵豪强，而见轻慢、形调戏弄，剧于畜生。当时忿恚，情实不分，意欲诛灭，力所不堪；诉向父王，复不听省。怀毒抱恨，非可如何。以是因缘，饮食损常，懊恼愁悴。尔时太后见我愁苦，种种谏晓，愁故不息。于是太后爱子情重，便遣使人求觅好酒劝我令饮。即白母言：“先祖相承，事那罗延天、奉婆罗门。今若饮酒，惧恐天怒，为婆罗门之所啧罚。”太后当时惧子致命，于夜静时关闭宫门，不令异人黄门婢使而得知者，太后语言：“夫天神者，有慈悲心救一切苦，婆罗门者皆应如是。子今愁毒，唐自失命，天神岂能救子命耶？宁当服药，消散忧患，得全身命。诸婆罗门未得天眼，安能知子隐密事也？”逼迫再三，俯仰从之。既饮酒已，忘失愁恨。太后见子还复颜色，心即欢喜，召集宫女作唱伎乐，三七日中受五欲乐，所追忿恨从是得息。’思惟是已，即敕忠臣令办好酒 现代汉语译本：所做的善事，都是没有烦恼的善业。' 国王对佛说：'正如世尊您所说，末利夫人喝酒破戒，但没有生起恶念，反而有功德、没有罪报，那么所有的人民也都是这样了。为什么呢？我想起最近在舍卫城中，一些豪门望族、刹帝利王公因为小小的争执而酿成大的仇怨，各自结盟策划兴兵互相攻打，两家都是国内的豪门大族，又是亲戚，不能够逮捕惩处，争论不休，互相斗战，不听从道理劝谏，我对此深感忧虑。我又想到：'过去我还是太子的时候，先王的臣子名叫提违罗（一个大臣的名字），仗恃他的门第宗族富有强大，就轻视怠慢我、用言语行为调戏戏弄我，比对待畜生还不如。当时我非常愤怒，心里实在无法分辨是非，想要杀了他，但力量不够；向父王诉说，父王又不听不理。心中怀着怨恨，却又无可奈何。因为这个缘故，我饮食减少，常常感到懊恼愁闷。当时太后看到我愁眉苦脸，用各种方法劝解开导我，但我的忧愁还是没有消解。于是太后因为疼爱儿子的深情，就派人寻找好酒劝我喝。我立即对母亲说：“先祖世代相传，侍奉那罗延天（印度教神祇），信奉婆罗门。现在如果喝酒，恐怕会触怒天神，受到婆罗门的责罚。”太后当时担心儿子因此丧命，就在夜深人静的时候关闭宫门，不让其他的人、宦官、婢女知道这件事，太后说：“天神，都有慈悲心，救度一切苦难，婆罗门也应该如此。你现在忧愁痛苦，白白地断送自己的性命，天神难道能救你的命吗？不如吃些药物，消散忧愁，保全性命。那些婆罗门没有得到天眼，怎么能知道你隐秘的事情呢？”太后一再逼迫劝说，我勉强答应了。喝了酒以后，就忘记了忧愁怨恨。太后看到我恢复了脸色，心里非常高兴，召集宫女唱歌奏乐，二十一天中享受各种感官的快乐，所积压的愤怒怨恨从此得以消解。'想到这里，我就命令忠诚的臣子准备好酒。'

English version: 'All the good deeds done are undefiled karma.' The king said to the Buddha: 'As the World-Honored One said, Lady Mallika (a queen's name) broke the precept by drinking wine, but she did not generate evil thoughts, and instead had merit and no retribution of sin. Then all the people are also like this. Why? I remember that recently in Shravasti (an ancient Indian city), some noble families and Kshatriya (warrior caste) princes caused great resentment because of small disputes. They each formed alliances and planned to send troops to attack each other. Both families were powerful clans in the country and were also relatives, so they could not be arrested and punished. They argued endlessly, fought each other, and did not listen to reason or advice, which made me very worried. I also thought: 'When I was a prince in the past, a minister of the late king named Tiviira (a minister's name), relying on his wealthy and powerful family, despised and ridiculed me with words and actions, even worse than treating livestock. At that time, I was very angry and could not distinguish right from wrong. I wanted to kill him, but I did not have the strength. I complained to my father, but he did not listen or care. I harbored resentment and hatred, but there was nothing I could do. Because of this, I ate less and often felt annoyed and depressed. At that time, the Queen Mother saw that I was sad and unhappy, and she tried to persuade and enlighten me in various ways, but my sorrow did not subside. So, out of deep love for her son, the Queen Mother sent someone to find good wine and encourage me to drink it. I immediately said to my mother, "Our ancestors have served Narayana (a Hindu deity) and worshiped Brahmins (priestly caste). If I drink wine now, I am afraid that I will offend the gods and be punished by the Brahmins." The Queen Mother was worried that her son would die because of this, so she closed the palace doors in the quiet of the night, not letting other people, eunuchs, or maids know about it. The Queen Mother said, "The gods all have compassion and save all suffering. Brahmins should also be like this. You are now sad and in pain, and you are wasting your life in vain. Can the gods save your life? It is better to take some medicine to dispel your worries and preserve your life. Those Brahmins have not attained the divine eye, how can they know your secret affairs?" The Queen Mother repeatedly urged and persuaded me, and I reluctantly agreed. After drinking the wine, I forgot my worries and hatred. The Queen Mother saw that I had regained my complexion and was very happy. She gathered palace women to sing and play music, and for twenty-one days I enjoyed all kinds of sensual pleasures. The accumulated anger and hatred were thus dispelled.' Thinking of this, I ordered my loyal ministers to prepare good wine.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 及诸甘膳，又使宣令国中豪族群臣士民，悉皆令集欲有所论国中大事、诸臣诤竞。两徒眷属各有五百应召来集，于王殿上庄严太乐。王敕忠臣办琉璃碗受三升许，诸宝碗中盛满好酒。我于众前先吃一碗。王曰：‘今论国中大事，想无异心坐此会也。今当人人办此一碗甘露良药，然后论事。’咸言：‘唯诺，奉大王命。’并敕伎官作唱太乐，诸人得酒并闻音乐，心中欢乐，忘失仇恨，沛然无忧。王复持碗白诸君曰：‘士夫修德，历世相承，遵奉圣教，不应差违。诸君何为因于小事忿诤如之？若不忍者，恐亡国嗣。是故重谏，幸息诤事。’诸臣白曰：‘敬奉重命，不敢违也。’因是和平。” 王白佛言：“诸人起诤不因于酒，然因得酒，息忿诤心而得太平。此岂非是酒之功也？ “复次世尊！察见世间穷贫小人、奴客婢使、夷蛮之人，或因节日、或于酒店聚会饮酒，欢乐心故，不须人教各各起舞；未得酒时，都无是事。是故当知，人因饮酒则致欢乐，心欢乐时不起恶念，不起恶念则是善心，善心因缘应受善报。 “复次世尊！猕猴得酒尚能起舞，况于世人？如世尊说，施善善报、施恶恶报。如世间人，缘前布施福德因缘，今致大富。贫者从乞悭惜不与，悭贪因缘，受饿鬼报。或有世人，若男若女受形端 { "translations": [ "现代汉语译本：还准备了各种美味的食物，又下令在全国范围内召集豪门望族、各位大臣和百姓，让他们都聚集起来，以便商议国家大事和解决大臣之间的争端。两派人马各自带领五百名家眷来到王宫殿上，用盛大的音乐来营造庄严的气氛。国王命令忠臣准备琉璃碗，每个碗能装三升左右，在这些宝碗中盛满美酒。国王在众人面前先喝了一碗。国王说：‘今天商议国家大事，希望没有心怀异志的人参加这次聚会。现在每个人都要喝下这碗甘露般的良药，然后才能讨论事情。’大家都说：‘遵命，听从大王的命令。’国王又命令乐官演奏盛大的音乐，众人喝着美酒，听着音乐，心中充满欢乐，忘记了仇恨，感到无比轻松。国王再次端起碗对各位大臣说：‘各位贤士修养德行，世代相传，遵循圣人的教诲，不应该有所违背。各位为何因为小事而如此争吵呢？如果不忍让，恐怕会失去国家和后代。因此我再次劝谏，希望平息争端。’各位大臣回答说：‘我们恭敬地听从您的命令，不敢违背。’于是，国家恢复了和平。”， "", "国王对佛说：‘人们发生争端不一定是因为酒，但是因为有了酒，平息了愤怒的心情，从而获得了太平。这难道不是酒的功劳吗？’", "", "‘再者，世尊！我观察到世间的穷苦百姓、奴仆、夷蛮之人，有时因为节日，有时在酒店聚会饮酒，因为心情欢乐，不用别人教，就各自跳起舞来；没有喝酒的时候，根本不会这样。所以应当知道，人们因为饮酒而感到欢乐，心情欢乐的时候就不会产生恶念，不产生恶念就是善心，善心作为因缘，应该得到善报。’", "", "‘再者，世尊！猕猴喝了酒尚且能跳舞，更何况是世人呢？正如世尊所说，行善有善报，作恶有恶报。比如世间的人，因为前世布施的福德因缘，今生才如此富有。贫穷的人来乞讨，却吝啬不给，因为悭贪的因缘，会受到饿鬼的报应。或者有世人，无论是男人还是女人，相貌端正" ], "english_translations": [ "English version: And also prepared various delicious foods, and ordered the noble families, ministers, and people of the country to gather together to discuss national affairs and resolve disputes among the ministers. The two groups each led five hundred family members to gather in the royal palace, using grand music to create a solemn atmosphere. The king ordered loyal ministers to prepare crystal bowls, each holding about three liters, and filled these precious bowls with fine wine. The king first drank a bowl in front of everyone. The king said, 'Today we are discussing national affairs, and I hope that no one with ulterior motives is attending this gathering. Now everyone must drink this bowl of nectar-like medicine before discussing matters.' Everyone said, 'We obey, and follow the king's command.' The king then ordered the musicians to play grand music, and the people drank wine and listened to the music, their hearts filled with joy, forgetting their hatred, and feeling extremely relaxed. The king again raised the bowl and said to the ministers, 'Gentlemen, cultivate virtue, pass it down through generations, and follow the teachings of the saints, and should not deviate from them. Why do you quarrel so much over trivial matters? If you are not tolerant, I am afraid that you will lose the country and your descendants. Therefore, I advise you again, hoping to quell the dispute.' The ministers replied, 'We respectfully obey your command, and dare not disobey.' Thus, the country was restored to peace.", "", "The king said to the Buddha, 'People do not necessarily start disputes because of wine, but because of wine, they calm their angry hearts and achieve peace. Isn't this the merit of wine?'", "", "'Furthermore, World Honored One! I have observed that the poor people, servants, and barbarians of the world sometimes gather in taverns to drink during festivals, and because they are happy, they dance without being taught; when they have not drunk wine, they do not do this at all. Therefore, it should be known that people feel happy because of drinking wine, and when they are happy, they do not generate evil thoughts, and not generating evil thoughts is a good heart, and good heart as a cause should receive good rewards.'", "", "'Furthermore, World Honored One! Even monkeys can dance when they drink wine, let alone human beings? Just as the World Honored One said, good deeds have good rewards, and evil deeds have evil rewards. For example, people in the world are so rich in this life because of the merits of giving in their previous lives. Poor people come to beg, but they are stingy and do not give, and because of the cause of stinginess, they will receive the retribution of hungry ghosts. Or there are people in the world, whether men or women, with handsome appearance" ] } --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

正，男人好者为女所爱，女人好者男情所乐。若有强力，制断男女不令会合，不得合故则致忧苦。此之殃罪，当归何处？末利夫人，皆由前身以好施人故，今得好报。世尊云何令持五戒、月行六斋？六斋之日，不得庄严香华服饰，又复不听作唱伎乐，又复不听附近夫婿爱好之姿，竟何所施，徒亡其功，岂非苦也？” 佛告王曰：“大王所难，非不如是。末利夫人在年少时，若我不敕令受戒法修智慧者，云何当有今日之德也？以能得度，复度王身，如斯之功，复归谁也？末利夫人受我教故如说而行，故使今日成就智慧方便解脱。复次大王！譬如世人家有一子，欲令成故，及其幼年将诣学堂，与师令教文艺书疏、人望礼仪，学堂之法皆有制令，呵啧杖罚、禁节饮食、不得睡眠，出入行来不失节度，有违犯者随罪轻重计而行罚。儿畏杖故专心就学，至年大时，高才博闻靡所不知，复以所知转教余人。末利夫人奉斋持戒，亦复如是。 “复次大王！如富楼那，妒嫉心故，割断恩爱，辞别父母，舍离妻子，入山习学。被服草衣，忍寒耐苦，自立誓言：‘要当讽诵九十六种经书记论悉令通达，不尔不还与父母相见。’足二十年一切通达，还王舍城，头戴炬火、以铜鍱腹，陌上而行而自唱言：‘我一切智。’来至我所而 现代汉语译本：‘正直的人，喜欢男人的女子会被男人所玩弄，喜欢女人的男子会被女人的情爱所取乐。如果有人用强大的力量，制止男女之间的结合，使他们不能结合而导致忧愁痛苦。这样的罪过，应当归于何处呢？末利夫人（Mallika，人名），都是因为前世喜欢施舍给别人，所以今生得到好的报应。世尊（Lord Buddha）您为什么让她持守五戒、每月实行六斋呢？六斋之日，不得打扮装饰，不得使用香花服饰，又不允许亲近丈夫，做出恩爱的姿态，究竟能施舍什么呢？只是白白地丧失了功德，难道不是一种痛苦吗？’ 佛陀告诉国王说：‘大王所提出的疑问，并非没有道理。末利夫人（Mallika）在年轻的时候，如果我不告诫她接受戒法、修习智慧，怎么会有今天的德行呢？她自己能够得到解脱，又使国王您也得到解脱，这样的功德，又该归于谁呢？末利夫人（Mallika）接受我的教导，如我所说的那样去做，所以才使得今天成就了智慧、方便和解脱。再者，大王！譬如世上的人家有一个儿子，想要他成才，在他年幼的时候就送到学堂，请老师教他文艺书写、人情礼仪，学堂的规矩都有制度法令，呵斥责骂、鞭打惩罚、限制饮食、不得贪睡，出入行走不失节度，有违反的人根据罪行的轻重来施行惩罚。儿子因为害怕鞭打，所以专心学习，到年纪大的时候，才高学博，无所不知，又用所学到的知识去教导其他人。末利夫人（Mallika）奉行斋戒，也是这样。’ ‘再者，大王！比如富楼那（Purana，人名），因为嫉妒心，割断恩爱，辞别父母，舍弃妻子，进入山中学习。身穿草衣，忍受寒冷，忍耐痛苦，自己立下誓言：‘一定要背诵九十六种经书记录，全部通达，否则就不回去与父母相见。’足足二十年，全部通达了，回到王舍城（Rajagrha，地名），头顶着火炬，用铜片包裹腹部，在道路上行走，并且自己唱言：‘我是一切智者。’来到我的住所，然后...’
