English version: Like that king, he regarded it as an auspicious sign for his son, and said, 'My son is born, like the rising sun, emitting light to dispel darkness, its radiance ever increasing, to signify auspiciousness.' Therefore, he named him Prince Richu (Rìchū Tàizǐ, Rising Sun Prince). At that time, the Four Kings (Sì Wáng, Four Kings) and others each predicted auspicious signs and named their sons, completely unaware that these were all manifestations of the great spiritual power of Śākyamuni Bodhisattva (Shìjiā Púsà, Śākyamuni Bodhisattva). However, all the princes had accumulated profound merits and possessed great vows, each leading their families to be born following the sage. Therefore, Yingsheng (Yǐngshèng) was born in response to the times, also an extraordinary hero among men, so that on the day of his birth, five hundred ministers each had a son, and they were named according to their clan names. For Prince Yingsheng, eight wet nurses were arranged to care for him. He grew day by day, like a lotus emerging from the water, and he understood all the scriptures, skills, calendars, arithmetic, and all Kshatriya (chàlì, Kshatriya) enthronement laws, and he also devoted himself to craftsmanship, as well as taming elephants and horses, riding chariots, etc., archery, lassoing techniques, swordsmanship, and wound healing; he mastered all kinds of skills; the Four Sciences (sì zhǒng míngchù, Four Sciences) were thoroughly practiced without omission. Together with the sons of the five hundred ministers, they were all accomplished. Later, on one occasion, the prince oversaw the affairs of the state, and during a leisure day, he rode an elephant and saw people collecting taxes. He asked his attendants, 'Why are these people collecting taxes?' The attendants replied, 'They are messengers from King Anga (Yāngqié Wáng, King of Anga) of the neighboring country, who have come from afar to collect taxes.' The prince asked, 'Why does our country pay taxes to another country?' The attendants replied, 'It has been like this for a long time.' At that time, the prince summoned the messengers and asked, 'Their country is a Kshatriya enthronement king, and our country is also a Kshatriya enthronement king, with different governing methods and different people. Why do you cross the border and exceed the limits to collect taxes here? You should return immediately and end this forever.' After hearing this, the messengers thought, 'This prince is now of a fierce nature, wanting to violate the alliance, causing me to return empty-handed. We can now go to the Great Lotus (Dà Liánhuá) to collect taxes.' After seeing the king, (the king) ordered the collection to continue as before. The prince returned and encountered these messengers collecting taxes as before. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

不止，太子告曰：“我已发遣，何得尚留？即还为善，若不去者必加严罚。”诸人怀惧，相率俱还，至国具奏王知：“其影胜太子，为人犷暴，违盟负信，不受徴科，幸愿大王早为先策。如其不尔，恐招后患。”时王即以伽他答使臣曰： “树木在萌芽， 爪甲便能断； 扶疏大连抱， 斤斧莫能摧。” 尔时央伽王大怒，便发使致书大莲华王曰：“影胜逆命，系颈送来。若不然者，我当自往就彼屠戮。宜知朕意。”莲华闻已，君臣恐惧，唯忧亡国。便召影胜，责其违拒，并遣与书。影胜白言：“彼是刹利灌顶王，我国亦是刹利灌顶王，境界各殊，何缘供税？唯愿大王与我四兵，自共对决。”时莲华王即自思忖，知其影胜堪谋大事，遂乃复书央伽王曰：“辱书赐追影胜，仍令系颈驰送将来。但我此子，欲令绍继先王，严告虽加，未敢从命。大王必欲雄力掩覆、猛气相陵，横野列兵，唯知待罪。”央伽披奏，忿怒非常，便敕合国徴兵，炼磨器械：“我将亲往，破灭莲华，诛斩影胜。”遂兴万众千军，兵马腾跃，旌旗蔽地，钟鼓聒天，直入摩揭陀国。时莲华大怖，即召影胜，付授四兵。于时太子既受王教，率大臣子，而宣令曰：“央伽与国宿仇，我今报复，寇贼入境，伫济嘉谋。汝等世积功勋，受国恩宠， 不止太子告诉他们：‘我已经把你们遣返回去了，为何还留在这里？最好还是回去，如果不走，必定严惩。’众人心怀恐惧，一起回去，到了国都，详细禀告国王：‘那个影胜太子（Yingsheng Taizi），为人粗犷暴戾，违背盟约，不讲信用，不接受征税，希望大王早做打算。如果不是这样，恐怕会招来后患。’当时国王就用伽他（Gatha）回答使臣说： ‘树木在萌芽时，爪甲就能折断；等到枝繁叶茂，连抱粗细，斧头也无法摧毁。’ 当时央伽王（Yangjia Wang）大怒，就派使者送信给大莲华王（Dalianhua Wang）说：‘影胜（Yingsheng）违抗命令，把他捆起来送来。如果不这样，我就亲自去屠杀他们。你应该知道我的意思。’莲华王（Lianhua Wang）听了，君臣都感到恐惧，只担心国家灭亡。就召见影胜（Yingsheng），责备他违抗命令，并把信给他看。影胜（Yingsheng）禀告说：‘他是刹利灌顶王（Chali Guanding Wang），我国也是刹利灌顶王（Chali Guanding Wang），疆界各不相同，为何要进贡纳税？希望大王给我四种军队，我亲自与他对决。’当时莲华王（Lianhua Wang）自己思量，知道这个影胜（Yingsheng）能够谋划大事，于是就回信给央伽王（Yangjia Wang）说：‘承蒙您来信追要影胜（Yingsheng），还命令把他捆起来送去。但是这个孩子，我想让他继承先王的王位，虽然严厉告诫过他，但还是不敢听从您的命令。大王如果一定要用强大的力量来压制，用猛烈的气势来欺凌，在郊外陈兵列阵，我只有听凭处置。’央伽王（Yangjia Wang）看完奏书，非常愤怒，就命令全国征兵，磨砺兵器：‘我将亲自前往，攻破莲华国（Lianhua Guo），诛杀影胜（Yingsheng）。’于是兴起万众千军，兵马腾跃，旌旗遮天蔽日，钟鼓声震天动地，直接进入摩揭陀国（Mojietuo Guo）。当时莲华王（Lianhua Wang）非常害怕，就召见影胜（Yingsheng），把四种军队交给他。当时太子接受了国王的命令，率领大臣的子弟，宣告说：‘央伽国（Yangjia Guo）与我国有宿仇，我今天要报复。寇贼入侵，等待着好的计谋。你们世代积累功勋，受到国家的恩宠，’

Not only that, the Crown Prince told them: 'I have already sent you back, why are you still here? It would be best to return, if you do not leave, you will surely be severely punished.' The people were fearful and returned together. Upon arriving in the capital, they reported to the King in detail: 'That Crown Prince Yingsheng (Yingsheng Taizi), is a violent and unruly person, who violates alliances, breaks faith, and refuses to pay taxes. We hope that Your Majesty will make plans early. If not, I fear it will bring future troubles.' At that time, the King replied to the envoys with a Gatha: 'When trees are in bud, nails and teeth can break them; when they are luxuriant and thick, so large that many arms can embrace them, axes cannot destroy them.' At that time, King Yangjia (Yangjia Wang) was furious and sent a letter to King Dalianhua (Dalianhua Wang), saying: 'Yingsheng (Yingsheng) has defied my orders, tie him up and send him here. If not, I will personally go and slaughter them. You should know my intentions.' King Lianhua (Lianhua Wang) heard this, and the ministers were terrified, fearing only the destruction of the kingdom. He summoned Yingsheng (Yingsheng), blamed him for defying orders, and showed him the letter. Yingsheng (Yingsheng) reported: 'He is a Kshatriya Inaugurated King (Chali Guanding Wang), and our country is also a Kshatriya Inaugurated King (Chali Guanding Wang). The boundaries are different, why should we pay taxes? I hope that Your Majesty will give me four types of troops, and I will personally confront him.' At that time, King Lianhua (Lianhua Wang) pondered to himself, knowing that this Yingsheng (Yingsheng) was capable of planning great things, so he replied to King Yangjia (Yangjia Wang): 'I am honored to receive your letter demanding Yingsheng (Yingsheng), and ordering him to be tied up and sent. However, I want this son to succeed the former king. Although I have sternly warned him, I dare not obey your orders. If Your Majesty insists on using powerful force to suppress, and fierce momentum to bully, deploying troops in the wilderness, I can only await punishment.' King Yangjia (Yangjia Wang) read the memorial and was extremely angry. He ordered the conscription of troops throughout the country and the sharpening of weapons: 'I will personally go and destroy the Kingdom of Lianhua (Lianhua Guo) and kill Yingsheng (Yingsheng).' Thus, he raised tens of thousands of troops, the soldiers and horses leaped, the flags covered the sky, and the sound of bells and drums shook the heavens, directly entering the Kingdom of Mojietuo (Mojietuo Guo). At that time, King Lianhua (Lianhua Wang) was very frightened and summoned Yingsheng (Yingsheng), entrusting him with the four types of troops. At that time, the Crown Prince received the King's order, led the sons of the ministers, and announced: 'The Kingdom of Yangjia (Yangjia Guo) has an old feud with our country, and I will take revenge today. The invaders have entered our territory, awaiting good strategies. You have accumulated merits for generations and received the favor of the country,' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 何方助我，破贼安人？”答曰：“某等虽无计略，敢竭股肱侍从太子。”尔时影胜说伽他曰： “治国养黎人， 应当善守护； 为他所侵夺， 万姓失归依。” 是时太子告诸人曰：“汝等同心共力卫护于我。”作是语已，号令三军，兵马咸发。时大莲华王登高楼上，与诸侍卫前后围绕观望军众，谓诸臣曰：“此是谁兵？”答曰：“此是影胜太子兵。”王曰：“汝等应知，兵众甚大。宜可号为兵众影胜。”其中或称此是大梯影胜，如是种种叹美太子威德盛相。 尔时太子告诸人曰：“吾闻善战者，不劳军阵。今央伽王有大兵马，其数甚多，不可争锋，致伤我众。权谋秘决，擒获为先。”即募骁雄，伺其无备，遂杀央伽。三军六师，一时退散，爰整兵士，逐北前临。彼国之人，不知王死，安城固守。时影胜太子即令枪彼王头，示于城内，仍宣令曰：“此是汝国央伽王头，汝等可急开门。若不尔者，同时丧命。”众闻大怖，即为开门，诸有大臣系颈归款，所有百姓无不顺伏。是时影胜太子既入城已，遣使闻奏，还白父王：“幸承大王威严、臣人尽力，央伽逆命，今已斩除，合境无虞，远安迩肃。”莲华闻已，庆悦无量，即以种种衣服璎珞严身之具，及七宝盖送与影胜。即便令彼占波为王，以代央伽 { "translations": [ "现代汉语译本：", "‘谁能帮助我，击败贼寇，安定百姓？’回答说：‘我们虽然没有计谋策略，但敢竭尽全力侍奉太子。’当时影胜（Yingsheng）（太子名）说了这首偈：", "‘治理国家养育百姓，应当善于守护；如果被他人侵夺，万民百姓就会失去依靠。’", "这时太子告诉众人说：‘你们要同心协力保护我。’说完这些话后，号令三军，兵马全部出发。当时大莲华王（Dalianhua Wang）（国王名）登上高楼，与众多侍卫前后围绕，观看军队，对大臣们说：‘这是谁的军队？’回答说：‘这是影胜太子的军队。’国王说：‘你们应该知道，军队数量非常庞大。可以称之为兵众影胜。’其中有人称这是大梯影胜，像这样种种赞美太子威德盛大的仪容。", "当时太子告诉众人说：‘我听说善于作战的人，不需劳师动众。现在央伽王（Yangjia Wang）（国王名）有强大的军队，数量众多，不可正面交锋，以免损伤我们的士兵。最好的策略是秘密行动，擒获敌王为先。’于是招募骁勇的将士，趁其不备，杀死了央伽王。三军六师，一时溃散，于是整理兵士，追击败兵前进。央伽国的人，不知道国王已死，坚守城池。当时影胜太子就命令用枪挑起央伽王的头，在城内示众，并宣告说：‘这是你们的央伽王的头，你们可以赶快打开城门。如果不打开，同时丧命。’众人听了非常害怕，就打开了城门，各位大臣都用绳子系着脖子前来投降，所有百姓没有不顺从归服的。这时影胜太子进入城后，派遣使者禀告，回报父王说：‘幸蒙大王威严，臣下尽力，央伽王违抗命令，现在已经斩除，整个国家没有忧患，远方安定，近处肃静。’莲华王听了，高兴得不得了，就用各种衣服璎珞装饰身体的物品，以及七宝伞送给影胜太子。随即命令他在占波（Zhanbo）（地名）为王，代替央伽王。" ], "english_translations": [ "English version:", \"'Who can help me defeat the bandits and bring peace to the people?' The reply was: 'Although we have no strategies, we dare to exert all our strength to serve the crown prince.' At that time, Yingsheng (Shadow Victorious) (name of the crown prince) spoke this verse:", "‘To govern the country and nurture the people, one should be good at guarding it; if it is invaded by others, the myriad people will lose their refuge.’", "At this time, the crown prince told the people: 'You must work together to protect me.' After saying these words, he ordered the three armies, and all the soldiers set out. At that time, King Dalianhua (Great Lotus Flower) (name of the king) ascended the high tower, surrounded by many guards, watching the army, and said to the ministers: 'Whose army is this?' The reply was: 'This is the army of Crown Prince Yingsheng.' The king said: 'You should know that the army is very large. It can be called the Army Shadow Victorious.' Among them, some called it the Great Ladder Shadow Victorious, like this, praising the crown prince's majestic and prosperous appearance.", "At that time, the crown prince told the people: 'I have heard that those who are good at fighting do not need to mobilize troops. Now King Yangjia (Central Bank) (name of the king) has a strong army, and the number is large, so it is impossible to confront them head-on, so as not to injure our soldiers. The best strategy is to act secretly and capture the enemy king first.' So he recruited brave generals, and killed King Yangjia while he was unprepared. The three armies and six divisions collapsed at once, so he reorganized the soldiers and pursued the defeated soldiers forward. The people of Yangjia did not know that the king was dead, and they defended the city firmly. At that time, Crown Prince Yingsheng ordered the head of King Yangjia to be picked up with a spear and shown to the public in the city, and announced: 'This is the head of your King Yangjia, you can quickly open the city gate. If you don't open it, you will die at the same time.' The crowd was very frightened when they heard this, so they opened the city gate, and the ministers came to surrender with ropes around their necks, and all the people obeyed and surrendered. At this time, after Crown Prince Yingsheng entered the city, he sent an envoy to report to his father, saying: 'Fortunately, I have received the majesty of the king, and my ministers have done their best. King Yangjia disobeyed the order, and now he has been beheaded. The whole country has no worries, the distant places are stable, and the nearby places are quiet.' King Lianhua was very happy when he heard this, so he sent all kinds of clothes, necklaces, and body decorations, as well as seven-treasure umbrellas to Crown Prince Yingsheng. Immediately ordered him to be the king in Zhanbo (place name), replacing King Yangjia." ] } --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
