English version: Initially, five people wore skirts, inviting ridicule and ugliness due to their uneven lengths; Later, it was decreed that skirts should be worn neatly like Brahma, and thus the Siksamana (Siksamana, female trainee) was established. From the time of Muni (Muni, Buddha) onwards, precepts were established because Sudinna and others committed adultery; Therefore, those who initially violated the precepts could be exempted from punishment; these precepts are the path to rebirth in heaven and Nirvana. Great are the virtuous ones among the group of six, because of them, the Siksa (Siksa, training rules) were widely established; They were all wise and eloquent, the most outstanding of their time, and their deeds were free from repeated offenses. Although these Siksa (Siksa, precepts) were established for these individuals, they washed away impurities and broke the Sila (Sila, moral conduct); Like the Sindhu River (Sindhu River, Indus River) in spring, its waters flow, irrigating the plains and nourishing all things. Upananda, Asvajit, Chanda, Nanda, Udayin; Punabbasu, these six who are difficult to tame, are the dregs in the teachings of the Blessed One (世尊, Buddha). If someone sincerely does not want to violate the precepts, such a person is called wise; Even if one violates the precepts, being able to repent is excellent, but prolonged unrepentance leads to rebirth in evil realms. The Buddhas can transcend the ocean of merit, and all their giving and actions are immeasurable; They proclaim the Dharma of taming, saving sentient beings, and can guide them towards supreme goodness. Ordinary beings have accumulated ignorance since beginningless time, wandering in samsara, lost in the long night; Only the Buddha can use the hand of the Right Dharma to diligently lead us out of darkness. In Asankhyeya (Asankhyeya, countless) and kappa (kappa, eon) times, they constantly practice great compassion, cultivating subtle wisdom; They are skilled at taming beings, touring the realms of birth and death, and ten major events must be done. So-called prediction of future Buddhas (授记当来佛, prediction of future Buddhahood), leaving the third portion (留第三分, referring to the duration of the Dharma's presence after the Buddha's Nirvana) for sentient beings; Sariputta and Moggallana are the foremost pair of disciples, and those transformed by the Buddha can save themselves. The matter of establishing boundaries (结界, setting up boundaries) must eventually be done, manifesting great divine transformations, descending to the heavenly palace; Allowing parents to attain fruition, proclaiming the karmic causes, and finally entering Nirvana, I take refuge and pay homage. I pay homage to the virtuous ones who compiled the scriptures, making the hidden teachings of Muni (Muni, Buddha) manifest; Making the sunken treasure ship float again, and illuminating the boundless sea of suffering with light. I also pay homage to the attendant Ananda, who is skilled at hearing and retaining, and compiled the Sutra Pitaka.

;  令诸品类生欣乐,  烦恼系缚得蠲除。  次礼圣者邬波离,  能正宣通调伏藏;  譬如善持明咒者,  能除恶趣毒蛇王。  次礼尊者迦摄波,  善闲摩窒哩迦藏;  于此世间光普照,  皆令隐义尽敷扬。  次于王城五百众,  结集三藏是应人;  重流法雨润生津,  我悉至诚归命礼。  帝释天王为上首,  阿苏罗众咸恭敬;  遍满空中悉云集,  稽首深心赞希有。  尔时王舍大城侧,  天香普馥满山林;  诸天婇女散名花,  流芳下落弥山际。  次复于彼广严城,  猕猴池边重结集;  七百罗汉弘真轨,  冀令法教得增明。  大哉佛日埋光尽,  遗余法宝恐沈辉;  幸蒙众圣结微言,  得使人天重归仰。  牟尼忘倦久轮回,  为求正法于生死;  愿欲济斯无救者,  冀令众苦尽消除。  头目手足咸持施,  骨肉流血济求人;  男女爱如初月轮,  皆随喜舍归圆寂。  大师牟尼所宣说,  乃至正法未灭来;  应除懈怠断愚痴,  至愿要心勤策励。  言论佛教言中胜,  颂陈正法颂中尊;  我毗舍佉罄微心,  结颂令生易方便。  若于圣说有增减,  前后参差乖次第;  愿弘见者共相容,  无目循涂能不失 现代汉语译本: 愿所有众生都感到欢欣快乐,烦恼的束缚得以解除。 接下来礼敬圣者邬波离(Upali,持戒第一的弟子),他能正确地宣扬和通达调伏藏(Vinaya Pitaka,律藏); 就像善于持诵明咒的人,能够消除恶趣的毒蛇王。 接下来礼敬尊者迦摄波(Kashyapa,头陀第一的弟子),他精通摩窒哩迦藏(Matrika,论藏); 他的智慧之光普照世间,使所有隐晦的意义都得以彰显。 接下来是对王舍城(Rajagriha)的五百位结集三藏(Tripitaka,经、律、论)的圣者致敬,他们是堪当重任的人; 他们重新降下法雨,滋润众生的生命,我全心全意地归命礼敬。 以帝释天王(Indra)为首的天神,以及阿苏罗(Asura,非天)众都恭敬地聚集; 他们遍满空中,全部云集,稽首赞叹这种稀有的盛事。 当时在王舍大城(Rajagriha)的旁边,天上的香气普遍散发,充满了山林; 诸位天女散播着美妙的花朵,芬芳的香气飘落弥漫在山际。 接下来又在那广严城(Vaishali),猕猴池边再次结集; 七百位罗汉弘扬真正的法则,希望佛法教义能够更加增明。 伟大的佛陀(Buddha)如太阳般的光辉已经隐没殆尽,遗留下来的法宝恐怕也会失去光彩; 幸好有各位圣者结集精微的言语,才能够使人天大众重新归依仰慕。 牟尼(Muni,佛陀的称号)不辞辛劳地长久轮回,为了在生死中寻求正法; 愿望是救济那些无助的众生,希望使众生的痛苦都能够消除。 佛陀曾将头、眼睛、手、脚都布施出去,用骨肉和鲜血救济求助的人; 对于男女的爱恋如同初升的月亮般美好,都随喜布施,归于圆满寂静。 大师牟尼(Muni,佛陀的称号)所宣说的教法,乃至正法还未灭尽之前; 应当去除懈怠,断除愚痴,以至诚的愿望之心勤奋努力。 言论之中,佛教的言论最为殊胜;颂歌之中,陈述正法的颂歌最为尊贵; 我毗舍佉(Vishakha)竭尽微薄的心力,结集颂歌,使众生容易理解。 如果对于圣人的教说有所增减,或者前后参差,违背了次第; 愿弘扬佛法的人能够互相包容,没有眼睛的人沿着道路走,怎么能不迷失方向呢?

English version: May all beings of every kind find joy and happiness, and may the bonds of affliction be removed. Next, I pay homage to the venerable Upali (Upali, foremost in upholding the precepts), who can correctly proclaim and understand the Vinaya Pitaka (the collection of monastic rules); Just like one who skillfully chants a bright mantra, able to eliminate the king of venomous snakes from the evil realms. Next, I pay homage to the venerable Kashyapa (Kashyapa, foremost in ascetic practices), who is well-versed in the Matrika (the collection of Abhidhamma); His light of wisdom shines universally in this world, causing all hidden meanings to be fully revealed. Next, I pay homage to the five hundred assembled in Rajagriha (Rajagriha) who compiled the Tripitaka (the three baskets of scriptures: Sutra, Vinaya, and Abhidhamma), they are the ones who are worthy; They again pour down the rain of Dharma, nourishing the life of beings, I wholeheartedly take refuge and pay homage. With Indra (Indra) as their leader, the Devas (gods), and the Asuras (Asura, demigods) all respectfully gather; They fill the sky, all assembled, bowing their heads and praising this rare and wonderful event. At that time, beside the great city of Rajagriha (Rajagriha), heavenly fragrance pervades, filling the mountains and forests; The celestial maidens scatter exquisite flowers, and the fragrant scent falls and spreads across the mountain peaks. Next, again in that city of Vaishali (Vaishali), by the Monkey Pond, they assemble once more; Seven hundred Arhats propagate the true path, hoping that the teachings of the Dharma may be further illuminated. Alas, the sun of the Buddha (Buddha) has buried its light completely, and the remaining treasures of the Dharma are feared to lose their brilliance; Fortunately, these venerable ones have compiled subtle words, enabling humans and gods to return to reverence and admiration. Muni (Muni, an epithet of the Buddha) tirelessly and endlessly reincarnated, seeking the true Dharma in the cycle of birth and death; The wish is to save those who are helpless, hoping to eliminate all suffering of beings. The Buddha gave away his head, eyes, hands, and feet, using his flesh and blood to help those who sought aid; Regarding love for men and women as beautiful as the newly risen moon, all were given away with joy, returning to perfect tranquility. The teachings proclaimed by the great master Muni (Muni, an epithet of the Buddha), until the True Dharma has not yet perished; One should eliminate laziness, cut off ignorance, and diligently strive with a sincere and earnest heart. Among all words, the words of Buddhism are the most supreme; among all verses, the verses that expound the True Dharma are the most venerable; I, Vishakha (Vishakha), exhaust my meager strength, compiling these verses to make them easy for beings to understand. If there is any addition or subtraction to the teachings of the saints, or if there are any discrepancies in the order; May those who propagate the Dharma be tolerant of each other, how can one without eyes not get lost following a path? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 。  我于苾刍调伏教,  略为少颂收广文;  愿得普共诸群生,  因此能成福智业。  五欲淤泥生厌背,  恒持净信作庄严;  生生常得苾刍身,  坚持佛语穷真际。  若希戒品常清净,  无疑正趣涅槃宫;  常于略颂忆修行,  勿虑一生虚命尽。

乃至世间尚煎生死热, 乃至心内恒为染火烧;  大仙等教犹若弶伽流, 常愿久住洗浊无明垢。  在那烂陀, 已翻此颂, 还至都下,  重勘疏条。 所有福因, 愿沾含识,  专希解脱, 早出生津。   根本说一切有部毗奈耶颂卷下 现代汉语译本: 我在比丘(Bhikkhu,佛教僧侣)的调伏教法中,略微用一些偈颂来概括广博的经文; 愿我能与所有众生共同,因此成就福德与智慧的事业。 对于五欲(pancha kama,色、声、香、味、触)的淤泥生起厌恶和背离,恒常保持清净的信心作为庄严; 生生世世常能获得比丘之身,坚持佛陀的教诲直至穷尽真理的边际。 如果希望戒律品行常保清净,无疑就能正直地趋向涅槃(Nirvana,解脱)的宫殿; 常常忆念这些简略的偈颂并加以修行,不要担忧一生虚度而生命终结。 乃至世间仍然煎熬于生死的炽热,乃至内心恒常被染污的火焰燃烧; 大仙(佛陀)的教诲犹如恒河(Ganga)之流,常愿它长久住世,洗涤污浊的无明尘垢。 在那烂陀寺(Nalanda),已经翻译了这些偈颂,返回都城后,重新校勘疏漏之处。 所有这些福德因缘,愿能沾溉一切有情众生,专心希望获得解脱,早日脱离生死苦海。 《根本说一切有部毗奈耶颂》卷下

English

English version: In the Bhikkhu's (Buddhist monk) teachings on discipline, I have briefly summarized the extensive scriptures with a few verses; May I, together with all sentient beings, be able to accomplish the deeds of merit and wisdom because of this. May I generate aversion and detachment from the mire of the five desires (pancha kama, forms, sounds, smells, tastes, and tactile objects), and constantly maintain pure faith as adornment; May I always obtain the body of a Bhikkhu in every lifetime, upholding the Buddha's teachings until the ultimate boundary of truth is reached. If one hopes that the precepts and conduct are always pure, one will undoubtedly and directly proceed towards the palace of Nirvana (liberation); Constantly remember these brief verses and practice them, do not worry that life will be spent in vain and life will end. Even as the world still suffers from the heat of birth and death, even as the mind is constantly burned by the flames of defilement; The teachings of the Great Sage (Buddha) are like the flow of the Ganges (Ganga), may they long abide in the world, washing away the defiled dust of ignorance. In Nalanda (Nalanda), these verses have been translated, and after returning to the capital, the omissions have been re-examined. May all these merits and causes benefit all sentient beings, with the sole hope of attaining liberation, and quickly escaping the sea of suffering of birth and death. Mūlasarvāstivāda Vinaya-sūtra, Volume 2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
