English version: 'Righteous men, women who like men are played with by men, and men who like women are pleasured by women's affections. If there is a strong force that prevents men and women from uniting, causing them sorrow and suffering because they cannot be together, where should the blame for this sin lie? Mallika (Mallika, a proper noun) has received good fortune in this life because she was fond of giving to others in her previous life. Why does the World Honored One (Lord Buddha) have her observe the five precepts and practice the six monthly fasts? On the days of the six fasts, she is not allowed to adorn herself, use fragrant flowers or fine clothing, nor is she allowed to be intimate with her husband, displaying affection. What can she possibly give? She is merely losing merit in vain, is this not suffering?' The Buddha told the king, 'What the Great King asks is not unreasonable. If I had not instructed Mallika (Mallika) to receive the precepts and cultivate wisdom when she was young, how could she have today's virtues? She was able to attain liberation and also liberate the king. To whom should such merit be attributed? Mallika (Mallika) followed my teachings and acted as I said, which is why she has achieved wisdom, skillful means, and liberation today. Furthermore, Great King! It is like a family in the world that has a son and wants him to succeed. When he is young, they send him to school, where the teacher teaches him literature, writing, human relations, and etiquette. The school has rules and regulations, scolding, reprimanding, whipping, restricting food and drink, and not allowing him to oversleep. His comings and goings are regulated, and those who violate the rules are punished according to the severity of their offenses. Because the son fears the whip, he focuses on his studies. When he grows up, he becomes highly talented and knowledgeable, knowing everything, and then uses his knowledge to teach others. Mallika (Mallika) observing the fasts and upholding the precepts is also like this.' 'Furthermore, Great King! For example, Purana (Purana, a proper noun), because of jealousy, severed his affections, bid farewell to his parents, abandoned his wife, and entered the mountains to study. He wore grass clothing, endured the cold, and endured suffering, making a vow to himself: 'I must recite and master all ninety-six kinds of scriptures and records, or I will not return to see my parents.' After twenty full years, he mastered everything and returned to Rajagrha (Rajagrha, a place name), wearing a torch on his head and copper plates on his abdomen, walking on the road and proclaiming: 'I am all-knowing.' He came to my place, and then...' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

谓我言:‘你瞿昙沙门,竟何所知?’我言痴人,而说颂曰: “‘若多少有闻, 自大以憍人, 是如盲执烛, 照彼不自明。’ “时富楼那闻是语已霍然心悟,舍炬解腹,五体投地惭愧悔过,皆由多闻智慧诸根利故。未起之顷,断三界漏、得罗汉道智慧之力。譬如调象随钩而转。大王当知,夫习学者皆由禁制摄五情根,然后通达无所挂碍,名无碍智,无碍智者具四辩也。今富楼那具四辩才,皆由慊苦勤学所得。是故我说,夫慧解者有七德才。何谓为七?第一信才,二精进才,第三戒才,四惭愧才,第五闻才,六为舍才,七定慧才;是为七才。末利夫人具此七才。大王当知,末利夫人虽为女身,高才智博非同凡人,皆由少来慎身口意,一心专念修习智慧。智慧力故名为解脱,复以智慧解悟天下。” 尔时世尊因罗睺沙弥,为诸大众而说颂曰: “闻为金翼鸟, 威势武力强, 闻为行宝藏, 所在相利益, 闻为大桥梁, 济度众苦厄, 闻为大船师, 济渡生死海。 多闻令志明, 以明智慧增, 智则博解义, 见闻行法安。 多闻能除忧, 能以定为欢, 善解甘露法, 从是得泥洹。 闻为知律法, 解疑亦见正, 从闻舍非法, 行 (他们)对我说:‘你瞿昙(Gotama,释迦牟尼的姓)沙门(Śrāmaṇa,出家修道者),究竟知道些什么?’我(佛陀)对这些愚痴的人,说了这首偈颂: ‘如果稍微有点见闻,就自高自大,傲慢待人,这就像盲人拿着蜡烛,只能照亮别人,却不能照亮自己。’ 当时富楼那(Pūrṇa,佛陀弟子名)听了这些话后,顿时醒悟,放下火炬,解开衣带,五体投地,惭愧地忏悔自己的过错,这都是因为他多闻、智慧和诸根敏锐的缘故。在他还没起身的时候,就断除了三界(欲界、色界、无色界)的烦恼,获得了阿罗汉(Arhat,断尽烦恼,证得解脱的圣者)道和智慧的力量。这就像调驯大象,随着象钩的引导而转动一样。大王您应该知道,学习的人都是通过禁制来摄持五情根(眼、耳、鼻、舌、身),然后才能通达无碍,这叫做无碍智(Pratibhāna,四无碍解,即义解、法解、辞解、乐说)。具有无碍智的人,就具备四辩才(四种辩才)。现在富楼那具备四辩才,都是因为他刻苦勤学而得到的。所以我说,具有智慧理解的人,有七种德才。哪七种呢?第一是信才(Śradhā,信仰的才能),第二是精进才(Vīrya,努力的才能),第三是戒才(Śīla,持戒的才能),第四是惭愧才(Hrī-apatrāpya,惭愧的才能),第五是闻才(Śruta,听闻佛法的才能),第六是舍才(Tyāga,布施的才能),第七是定慧才(Samādhi-prajñā,禅定和智慧的才能);这就是七种德才。末利夫人(Mallikā,波斯匿王的王后)具备这七种德才。大王您应该知道,末利夫人虽然是女身,但她的才能和智慧非常渊博,不同于凡人,这都是因为她从小就谨慎自己的身口意,一心专念,修习智慧。因为智慧的力量,所以名为解脱,又用智慧来理解和觉悟天下。” 这时,世尊因为罗睺罗(Rāhula,佛陀的儿子)沙弥(Śrāmaṇa,出家男子)的缘故,为大众说了这首偈颂: ‘听闻就像金翅鸟(Garuḍa,一种神鸟),威猛有力;听闻就像行走的宝藏,无论在哪里都能互相利益;听闻就像一座大桥梁,能够救度众生脱离痛苦和灾难;听闻就像一位伟大的船师,能够救度众生渡过生死之海。 多闻能使心志明亮,心志明亮就能增长智慧,有了智慧就能广泛理解义理,见闻和行为都符合佛法,就能得到安乐。 多闻能够消除忧愁,能够以禅定为快乐,善于理解甘露法(Amṛta,不死之法),从而证得涅槃(Nirvāṇa,寂灭,解脱)。 听闻能够了解戒律,能够解答疑惑,也能见到正道,从听闻中舍弃非法,行为……’

They said to me: 'You, Gotama (Śrāmaṇa, Ascetic of the Gotama clan), what do you really know?' I (the Buddha) said to those foolish people, and spoke this verse: 'If one has a little learning, and becomes arrogant and haughty, it is like a blind man holding a candle, illuminating others but not himself.' At that time, Pūrṇa (Name of a Buddha's disciple), upon hearing these words, suddenly awakened, put down the torch, loosened his belt, prostrated himself on the ground, and repented of his faults with shame. This was all because of his extensive learning, wisdom, and sharp faculties. Before he even got up, he had cut off the defilements of the three realms (desire realm, form realm, formless realm), and attained the power of wisdom of an Arhat (Enlightened being). It is like training an elephant, which turns according to the guidance of the hook. Great King, you should know that those who study do so by restraining the five sense faculties (eye, ear, nose, tongue, body), and then they can penetrate without obstruction, which is called unobstructed wisdom (Pratibhāna, Four kinds of eloquence). Those who have unobstructed wisdom possess the four kinds of eloquence. Now Pūrṇa possesses the four kinds of eloquence, all obtained through diligent and arduous study. Therefore, I say that those who have wisdom and understanding have seven virtues. What are the seven? First is the talent of faith (Śradhā, Faith), second is the talent of diligence (Vīrya, Effort), third is the talent of discipline (Śīla, Morality), fourth is the talent of shame and remorse (Hrī-apatrāpya, Conscience), fifth is the talent of learning (Śruta, Learning the Dharma), sixth is the talent of generosity (Tyāga, Giving), and seventh is the talent of concentration and wisdom (Samādhi-prajñā, Meditation and wisdom); these are the seven talents. Queen Mallikā (Name of a Queen) possesses these seven talents. Great King, you should know that although Queen Mallikā is a woman, her talent and wisdom are profound and extraordinary, all because she has been careful in her body, speech, and mind since she was young, and has single-mindedly cultivated wisdom. Because of the power of wisdom, it is called liberation, and she uses wisdom to understand and enlighten the world.' At that time, the World-Honored One, because of the Śrāmaṇa (Novice monk) Rāhula (Name of Buddha's son), spoke this verse for the assembly: 'Learning is like the golden-winged bird (Garuḍa, Mythical bird), powerful and strong; learning is like a traveling treasure, benefiting each other wherever it goes; learning is like a great bridge, saving beings from suffering and calamity; learning is like a great captain, saving beings from the sea of birth and death. Extensive learning makes the mind bright, and a bright mind increases wisdom. With wisdom, one can broadly understand the meaning, and if one's seeing, hearing, and actions are in accordance with the Dharma, one will find peace. Extensive learning can remove sorrow, and can take joy in meditation. One who understands the nectar of immortality (Amṛta, Ambrosia), from this attains Nirvāṇa (Extinction of suffering). Learning enables one to know the precepts, to resolve doubts, and to see the right path. From learning, one abandons what is not Dharma, and acts……’ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 到不死处。 仙人敬事闻, 诸天亦复然, 捡心不放逸, 积闻成圣智。 慧能散忧患, 亦除非邪衰, 欲求安隐吉, 当奉事明者。 盲从是得眼, 如暗中得烛, 开导世间人, 如明将无目。 是故应舍痴, 离慢豪富乐, 务学事明者, 是名积聚德。”

尔时世尊说是偈已,复告王曰:“王今福德,聪朗博义,皆由前世亲觐明师,慊苦奉侍,习学所致;因缘果报,今为人王,智慧明达,随宜抚接,世间难有。是故我说,般若智慧有四种义。是故当知,求三乘人当学般若,欲离三恶八难苦患、欲受人天快乐果报,以要言之,求一切福德,皆应修学智慧方便。如我前说阿逸多王,勤苦习学智慧力故,虽复失行生恶趣中,常识宿命;识宿命故,改恶修善,速得解脱,感致诸天济接供养,以智慧力为诸天师。以是因缘,我说般若有四种义。” 尔时波斯匿王闻佛所说智慧方便功德因缘,甚大欢喜。太子祇陀、夫人、太后、群臣士民,一切大众莫不解悟,各各修敬为佛作礼,复座如故。王叉手曰:“如佛所言,世人修善凡有二种:一有漏善,二无漏善。有漏无漏,二义归一,世尊!云何说差别耶?” 佛告王曰:“人有二品:一者利根,二者钝根。为钝根人 现代汉语译本 到达不死的境界。 仙人尊敬地侍奉,诸天也是这样, 守护内心不放纵懈怠,积累知识成为圣人的智慧。 智慧能够驱散忧愁和祸患,也能避免邪恶和衰败, 想要寻求安稳和吉祥,应当侍奉贤明的人。 盲人跟随明眼人就能得到眼睛,如同在黑暗中得到蜡烛, 开导世间的人们,如同明眼人带领失明的人。 因此应当舍弃愚痴,远离傲慢、奢华和享乐, 努力学习侍奉贤明的人,这叫做积累功德。 这时,世尊说完这首偈颂后,又告诉国王说:‘大王您现在拥有的福德,聪慧通达博学多闻,都是由于前世亲近贤明的老师,尽心竭力地侍奉,努力学习所获得的;因为这样的因缘果报,今生才能成为国王,智慧明达,能够恰当地安抚和接纳百姓,世间很少有人能像您这样。所以我说,般若智慧有四种含义。因此应当知道,求取声闻乘、缘觉乘、菩萨乘的人都应当学习般若,想要脱离三恶道和八难的痛苦,想要获得人天道的快乐果报,总而言之,想要获得一切福德,都应当修学智慧和方便。就像我之前所说的阿逸多(Ajita)王(未来佛弥勒菩萨),因为勤奋刻苦地学习智慧的力量,即使行为有所缺失而堕落到恶道之中,也能常常记得前世的经历;因为记得前世的经历,所以能够改正恶行修习善法,迅速得到解脱,感得诸天前来救助供养,以智慧的力量成为诸天的老师。因为这样的因缘,我说般若有四种含义。’ 这时,波斯匿(Prasenajit)王(古印度拘萨罗国国王)听了佛所说的智慧和方便的功德因缘,非常欢喜。太子祇陀(Jetakumara)、夫人、太后、各位大臣和百姓,所有大众没有不理解醒悟的,各自恭敬地向佛作礼,然后回到原来的座位。国王合掌说道:‘正如佛所说,世人修习善法大致有两种:一种是有漏善,一种是无漏善。有漏和无漏,两种含义归根结底是一样的,世尊!您为什么说它们有差别呢?’ 佛告诉国王说:‘人有两种品性:一种是根器敏利,一种是根器迟钝。为了根器迟钝的人
