| Evaṃ me sutaṃ— |
|
|
| ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā videhesu cārikaṃ carati mahatā bhikkhusaṃghena saddhiṃ pañcamattehi bhikkhusatehi. |
So I have heard. |
我曾听闻。 |
| Tena kho pana samayena brahmāyu brāhmaṇo mithilāyaṃ paṭivasati jiṇṇo vuḍḍho mahallako addhagato vayoanuppatto, vīsavassasatiko jātiyā, tiṇṇaṃ vedānaṃ pāragū sanighaṇḍukeṭubhānaṃ sākkharappabhedānaṃ itihāsapañcamānaṃ, padako, veyyākaraṇo, lokāyatamahāpurisalakkhaṇesu anavayo. |
Now at that time the brahmin Brahmāyu was residing in Mithilā. He was old, elderly, and senior, advanced in years, having reached the final stage of life; he was a hundred and twenty years old. He was an expert in the three Vedas, together with their vocabularies, ritual, phonology and etymology, and the testament as fifth. He knew philology and grammar, and was well versed in cosmology and the marks of a great man. |
那时，婆罗门梵天达多住在弥提罗。他年老、年迈、高寿，已届晚年；他一百二十岁了。他精通三吠陀，连同其词汇、仪式、语音学和词源学，并以第五的契经。他精通语文学和语法，并且精通宇宙学和大丈夫相。 |
| Assosi kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo: |
He heard: |
他听闻： |
| “samaṇo khalu bho, gotamo sakyaputto sakyakulā pabbajito videhesu cārikaṃ carati mahatā bhikkhusaṃghena saddhiṃ pañcamattehi bhikkhusatehi. |
“It seems the ascetic Gotama—a Sakyan, gone forth from a Sakyan family—is wandering in the land of the Videhans, together with a large Saṅgha of around five hundred monks. |
“沙门乔达摩——一位释迦族的沙门，从释迦族出家——似乎在毗提诃国游方，与大约五百名比丘的大僧伽在一起。 |
| Taṃ kho pana bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ evaṃ kalyāṇo kittisaddo abbhuggato: |
He has this good reputation: |
他有这样的好名声： |
| ‘itipi so bhagavā arahaṃ sammāsambuddho vijjācaraṇasampanno sugato lokavidū anuttaro purisadammasārathi satthā devamanussānaṃ buddho bhagavā’ti. |
‘That Blessed One is perfected, a fully awakened Buddha, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, holy, knower of the world, supreme guide for those who wish to train, teacher of gods and humans, awakened, blessed.’ |
‘那位世尊是阿罗汉，正等正觉，明行足，善逝，世间解，无上士，调御丈夫，天人师，佛，世尊。’ |
| So imaṃ lokaṃ sadevakaṃ samārakaṃ sabrahmakaṃ sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiṃ pajaṃ sadevamanussaṃ sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā pavedeti. |
He has realized with his own insight this world—with its gods, Māras and Brahmās, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, gods and humans—and he makes it known to others. |
他以自己的洞察力证悟了此世——连同其诸天、魔罗和梵天，以及此世的沙门、婆罗门、天人和人类——并将其告知他人。 |
| So dhammaṃ deseti ādikalyāṇaṃ majjhekalyāṇaṃ pariyosānakalyāṇaṃ sātthaṃ sabyañjanaṃ, kevalaparipuṇṇaṃ parisuddhaṃ brahmacariyaṃ pakāseti. |
He explains a teaching that’s good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, meaningful and well-phrased. And he reveals a spiritual practice that’s entirely full and pure. |
他解释的教法在开始时是好的，在中间是好的，在结尾时也是好的，有意义且措辞优美。他揭示了一种完全圆满和纯粹的精神修行。 |
| Sādhu kho pana tathārūpānaṃ arahataṃ dassanaṃ hotī”ti. |
It’s good to see such perfected ones.” |
能见到这样的阿罗汉是件好事。” |
| Tena kho pana samayena brahmāyussa brāhmaṇassa uttaro nāma māṇavo antevāsī hoti tiṇṇaṃ vedānaṃ pāragū sanighaṇḍukeṭubhānaṃ sākkharappabhedānaṃ itihāsapañcamānaṃ, padako, veyyākaraṇo, lokāyatamahāpurisalakkhaṇesu anavayo. |
Now at that time the brahmin Brahmāyu had a student named Uttara. He too was an expert in the three Vedas, etc. |
那时，婆罗门梵天达多有一个名叫郁多罗的学生。他同样精通三吠陀等。 |
| Atha kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo uttaraṃ māṇavaṃ āmantesi: |
Then Brahmāyu told Uttara of the Buddha’s presence in the land of the Videhans, and added: |
于是梵天达多将佛陀在毗提诃国的事告诉了郁多罗，并补充道： |
| “ayaṃ, tāta uttara, samaṇo gotamo sakyaputto sakyakulā pabbajito videhesu cārikaṃ carati mahatā bhikkhusaṃghena saddhiṃ pañcamattehi bhikkhusatehi. |
|
|
| Taṃ kho pana bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ evaṃ kalyāṇo kittisaddo abbhuggato: |
|
|
| ‘itipi so bhagavā arahaṃ sammāsambuddho … pe … |
|
|
| sādhu kho pana tathārūpānaṃ arahataṃ dassanaṃ hotī’ti. |
|
|
| Ehi tvaṃ, tāta uttara, yena samaṇo gotamo tenupasaṅkama; upasaṅkamitvā samaṇaṃ gotamaṃ jānāhi, yadi vā taṃ bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ tathā santaṃyeva saddo abbhuggato, yadi vā no tathā; |
“Please, dear Uttara, go to the ascetic Gotama and find out whether or not he lives up to his reputation. |
“亲爱的郁多罗，请去沙门乔达摩那里，看看他是否名副其实。 |
| yadi vā so bhavaṃ gotamo tādiso, yadi vā na tādiso. |
|
|
| Tathā mayaṃ taṃ bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ vedissāmā”ti. |
Through you I shall learn about Master Gotama.” |
通过你，我将了解乔达摩大师。” |
| “Yathā kathaṃ panāhaṃ, bho, taṃ bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ jānissāmi yadi vā taṃ bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ tathā santaṃyeva saddo abbhuggato, yadi vā no tathā; |
“But sir, how shall I find out whether or not the ascetic Gotama lives up to his reputation?” |
“但是先生，我如何才能知道沙门乔达摩是否名副其实呢？” |
| yadi vā so bhavaṃ gotamo tādiso, yadi vā na tādiso”ti. |
|
|
| “Āgatāni kho, tāta uttara, amhākaṃ mantesu dvattiṃsamahāpurisalakkhaṇāni, yehi samannāgatassa mahāpurisassa dveyeva gatiyo bhavanti anaññā. |
“Dear Uttara, the thirty-two marks of a great man have been handed down in our hymns. A great man who possesses these has only two possible destinies, no other. |
“亲爱的郁多罗，我们赞颂的圣歌中流传着三十二大丈夫相。一个拥有这些相的伟人只有两种可能的命运，没有其他。 |
| Sace agāraṃ ajjhāvasati, rājā hoti cakkavattī dhammiko dhammarājā cāturanto vijitāvī janapadatthāvariyappatto sattaratanasamannāgato. |
If he stays at home he becomes a king, a wheel-turning monarch, a just and principled king. His dominion extends to all four sides, he achieves stability in the country, and he possesses the seven treasures. |
如果他留在家里，他就会成为国王，转轮圣王，一位公正而有原则的国王。他的统治范围遍及四方，他在国内取得了稳定，并拥有七宝。 |
| Tassimāni satta ratanāni bhavanti, seyyathidaṃ— |
He has the following seven treasures: |
他拥有以下七宝： |
| cakkaratanaṃ, hatthiratanaṃ, assaratanaṃ, maṇiratanaṃ, itthiratanaṃ, gahapatiratanaṃ, pariṇāyakaratanameva sattamaṃ. |
the wheel, the elephant, the horse, the jewel, the woman, the treasurer, and the counselor as the seventh treasure. |
轮宝、象宝、马宝、珠宝、女宝、居士宝和第七的将士宝。 |
| Parosahassaṃ kho panassa puttā bhavanti sūrā vīraṅgarūpā parasenappamaddanā. |
He has over a thousand sons who are valiant and heroic, crushing the armies of his enemies. |
他有一千多个儿子，他们勇猛善战，击溃敌人的军队。 |
| So imaṃ pathaviṃ sāgarapariyantaṃ adaṇḍena asatthena dhammena abhivijiya ajjhāvasati. |
After conquering this land girt by sea, he reigns by principle, without rod or sword. |
征服了这片被海洋环绕的土地后，他以原则统治，不持棍棒或刀剑。 |
| Sace kho pana agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajati, arahaṃ hoti sammāsambuddho loke vivaṭṭacchado. |
But if he goes forth from the lay life to homelessness, he becomes a perfected one, a fully awakened Buddha, who draws back the veil from the world. |
但如果他出家离家，他就会成为阿罗汉，一位正等正觉，揭开世界面纱的人。 |
| Ahaṃ kho pana, tāta uttara, mantānaṃ dātā; |
But, dear Uttara, I am the one who gives the hymns, |
但是，亲爱的郁多罗，我是传授圣歌的人， |
| tvaṃ mantānaṃ paṭiggahetā”ti. |
and you are the one who receives them.” |
而你是接受它们的人。” |
| “Evaṃ, bho”ti kho uttaro māṇavo brahmāyussa brāhmaṇassa paṭissutvā uṭṭhāyāsanā brahmāyuṃ brāhmaṇaṃ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṃ katvā videhesu yena bhagavā tena cārikaṃ pakkāmi. |
“Yes, sir,” replied Uttara. He got up from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled Brahmāyu before setting out for the land of the Videhans where the Buddha was wandering. |
“好的，先生。”郁多罗回答。他从座位上站起来，合掌，恭敬地右绕梵天达多，然后前往佛陀正在游方的毗提诃国。 |
| Anupubbena cārikaṃ caramāno yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavatā saddhiṃ sammodi. |
Traveling stage by stage, he came to the Buddha and exchanged greetings with him. |
他一步一步地旅行，来到佛陀面前，与他互致问候。 |
| Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. |
When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side, |
问候和礼貌的交谈结束后，他坐在一边， |
| Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho uttaro māṇavo bhagavato kāye dvattiṃsamahāpurisalakkhaṇāni samannesi. |
and scrutinized his body for the thirty-two marks of a great man. |
仔细检查佛陀身体上的三十二大丈夫相。 |
| Addasā kho uttaro māṇavo bhagavato kāye dvattiṃsamahāpurisalakkhaṇāni, yebhuyyena thapetvā dve. |
He saw all of them except for two, |
他看到了所有相，除了两相， |
| Dvīsu mahāpurisalakkhaṇesu kaṅkhati vicikicchati nādhimuccati na sampasīdati— |
which he had doubts about: |
他对此有疑问： |
| kosohite ca vatthaguyhe pahūtajivhatāya ca. |
whether the private parts are retracted, and the largeness of the tongue. |
私处是否隐匿，以及舌头的大小。 |
| Atha kho bhagavato etadahosi: |
Then it occurred to the Buddha: |
那时佛陀心想： |
| “passati kho me ayaṃ uttaro māṇavo dvattiṃsamahāpurisalakkhaṇāni, yebhuyyena thapetvā dve. |
“This brahmin student Uttara sees all the marks except for two, |
“这位婆罗门学生郁多罗看到了所有相，除了两相， |
| Dvīsu mahāpurisalakkhaṇesu kaṅkhati vicikicchati nādhimuccati na sampasīdati— |
which he has doubts about: |
他对此有疑问： |
| kosohite ca vatthaguyhe pahūtajivhatāya cā”ti. |
whether the private parts are retracted, and the largeness of the tongue.” |
私处是否隐匿，以及舌头的大小。” |
| Atha kho bhagavā tathārūpaṃ iddhābhisaṅkhāraṃ abhisaṅkhāsi yathā addasa uttaro māṇavo bhagavato kosohitaṃ vatthaguyhaṃ. |
Then the Buddha used his psychic power to will that Uttara would see his retracted private parts. |
于是佛陀运用神通，让郁多罗看到了他隐匿的私处。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā jivhaṃ ninnāmetvā ubhopi kaṇṇasotāni anumasi paṭimasi; ubhopi nāsikasotāni anumasi paṭimasi; kevalampi nalāṭamaṇḍalaṃ jivhāya chādesi. |
And he stuck out his tongue and stroked back and forth on his ear holes and nostrils, and covered his entire forehead with his tongue. |
他伸出舌头，来回舔拭他的耳孔和鼻孔，并用舌头覆盖了他整个前额。 |
| Atha kho uttarassa māṇavassa etadahosi: |
Then Uttara thought: |
于是郁多罗心想： |
| “samannāgato kho samaṇo gotamo dvattiṃsamahāpurisalakkhaṇehi. |
“The ascetic Gotama possesses the thirty-two marks. |
“沙门乔达摩拥有三十二大丈夫相。 |
| Yannūnāhaṃ samaṇaṃ gotamaṃ anubandheyyaṃ, iriyāpathamassa passeyyan”ti. |
Why don’t I follow him and observe his deportment?” |
我为什么不跟随他，观察他的举止呢？” |
| Atha kho uttaro māṇavo sattamāsāni bhagavantaṃ anubandhi chāyāva anapāyinī. |
Then Uttara followed the Buddha like a shadow for seven months. |
于是郁多罗像影子一样跟随佛陀七个月。 |
| Atha kho uttaro māṇavo sattannaṃ māsānaṃ accayena videhesu yena mithilā tena cārikaṃ pakkāmi. |
When seven months had passed he set out wandering towards Mithilā. |
七个月后，他开始向弥提罗游方。 |
| Anupubbena cārikaṃ caramāno yena mithilā yena brahmāyu brāhmaṇo tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā brahmāyuṃ brāhmaṇaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinnaṃ kho uttaraṃ māṇavaṃ brahmāyu brāhmaṇo etadavoca: |
There he approached the brahmin Brahmāyu, bowed, and sat down to one side. Brahmāyu said to him: |
在那里，他来到婆罗门梵天达多面前，合掌，坐在一边。梵天达多对他说： |
| “kacci, tāta uttara, taṃ bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ tathā santaṃyeva saddo abbhuggato, no aññathā? |
“Well, dear Uttara, does Master Gotama live up to his reputation or not?” |
“那么，亲爱的郁多罗，乔达摩大师是否名副其实呢？” |
| Kacci pana so bhavaṃ gotamo tādiso, no aññādiso”ti? |
|
|
| “Tathā santaṃyeva, bho, taṃ bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ saddo abbhuggato, no aññathā; |
“He does, sir. |
“是的，先生。 |
| tādisova so bhavaṃ gotamo, no aññādiso. |
|
|
| Samannāgato ca so bhavaṃ gotamo dvattiṃsamahāpurisalakkhaṇehi. |
Master Gotama possesses the thirty-two marks. |
乔达摩大师拥有三十二大丈夫相。 |

When he has washed his feet, he sits down cross-legged, with his body straight, and establishes remembering right there. |
洗完脚后，他盘腿而坐，身体笔直，并安住正念。 |
| So neva attabyābādhāya ceteti, na parabyābādhāya ceteti, na ubhayabyābādhāya ceteti; |
He has no intention to hurt himself, hurt others, or hurt both. |
他没有伤害自己、伤害他人或伤害两者的意图。 |
| attahitaparahitaubhayahitasabbalokahitameva so bhavaṃ gotamo cintento nisinno hoti. |
He only wishes for the welfare of himself, of others, of both, and of the whole world. |
他只希望自己、他人、双方以及整个世界的福祉。 |
| So ārāmagato parisati dhammaṃ deseti, na taṃ parisaṃ ussādeti, na taṃ parisaṃ apasādeti; |
In the monastery when he teaches Dhamma to an assembly, he neither flatters them nor rebukes them. |
在寺院向大众宣讲佛法时，他既不奉承他们也不斥责他们。 |
| aññadatthu dhammiyā kathāya taṃ parisaṃ sandasseti samādapeti samuttejeti sampahaṃseti. |
Invariably, he educates, encourages, fires up, and inspires that assembly with a Dhamma talk. |
他总是以佛法开示教导、鼓励、激励、启发大众。 |
| Aṭṭhaṅgasamannāgato kho panassa bhoto gotamassa mukhato ghoso niccharati— |
His voice has eight qualities: |
他的声音有八种特质： |
| vissaṭṭho ca, viññeyyo ca, mañju ca, savanīyo ca, bindu ca, avisārī ca, gambhīro ca, ninnādī ca. |
it is clear, comprehensible, charming, audible, rounded, undistorted, deep, and resonant. |
清晰、易懂、悦耳、可闻、圆润、无失真、深沉、响亮。 |
| Yathāparisaṃ kho pana so bhavaṃ gotamo sarena viññāpeti, na cassa bahiddhā parisāya ghoso niccharati. |
He makes sure his voice is intelligible as far as the assembly goes, but it doesn’t extend outside the assembly. |
他确保他的声音在听众范围内清晰可辨，但不会超出听众范围。 |
| Te tena bhotā gotamena dhammiyā kathāya sandassitā samādapitā samuttejitā sampahaṃsitā uṭṭhāyāsanā pakkamanti avalokayamānāyeva avijahitattā. |
And when they’ve been inspired with a Dhamma talk by Master Gotama they get up from their seats and leave looking back at him alone, and not forgetting their lesson. |
当他们被乔达摩大师的佛法开示所启发时，他们从座位上站起来离开，只看着他，没有忘记他们的教诲。 |
| Addasāma kho mayaṃ, bho, taṃ bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ gacchantaṃ, addasāma ṭhitaṃ, addasāma antaragharaṃ pavisantaṃ, addasāma antaraghare nisinnaṃ tuṇhībhūtaṃ, addasāma antaraghare bhuñjantaṃ, addasāma bhuttāviṃ nisinnaṃ tuṇhībhūtaṃ, addasāma bhuttāviṃ anumodantaṃ, addasāma ārāmaṃ gacchantaṃ, addasāma ārāmagataṃ nisinnaṃ tuṇhībhūtaṃ, addasāma ārāmagataṃ parisati dhammaṃ desentaṃ. |
I have seen Master Gotama walking and standing; entering inhabited areas, and sitting and eating there; sitting silently after eating, and expressing appreciation; going to the monastery, sitting silently there, and teaching Dhamma to an assembly there. |
我见过乔达摩大师行走、站立；进入居住区，并在那里就座和用餐；饭后静坐，并表达感恩；去寺院，在那里静坐，并在那里向大众宣讲佛法。 |
| Ediso ca ediso ca so bhavaṃ gotamo, tato ca bhiyyo”ti. |
Such is Master Gotama; such he is and more than that.” |
乔达摩大师就是这样，他就是这样，而且不仅仅是这样。” |
| Atha kho bhagavā videhesu anupubbena cārikaṃ caramāno yena mithilā tadavasari. |
And then the Buddha, traveling stage by stage in the Videhan lands, arrived at Mithilā, |
佛陀于是循序渐进地在毗提诃国游化，抵达弥提罗， |
| Tatra sudaṃ bhagavā mithilāyaṃ viharati maghadevaambavane. |
where he stayed in the Makhādeva Mango Grove. |
住在猕猴园。 |
| Assosuṃ kho mithileyyakā brāhmaṇagahapatikā: |
The brahmins and householders of Mithilā heard: |
弥提罗的婆罗门和居士们听闻： |
| “samaṇo khalu, bho, gotamo sakyaputto sakyakulā pabbajito videhesu cārikaṃ caramāno mahatā bhikkhusaṃghena saddhiṃ pañcamattehi bhikkhusatehi mithilaṃ anuppatto, mithilāyaṃ viharati maghadevaambavane. |
“It seems the ascetic Gotama—a Sakyan, gone forth from a Sakyan family—has arrived at Mithilā, where he is staying in the Makhādeva Mango Grove. |
“沙门乔达摩——一位释迦族的沙门，从释迦族出家——似乎已抵达弥提罗，住在猕猴园。 |
| Taṃ kho pana bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ evaṃ kalyāṇo kittisaddo abbhuggato: |
He has this good reputation: |
他有这样的好名声： |
| ‘itipi so bhagavā arahaṃ sammāsambuddho vijjācaraṇasampanno sugato lokavidū anuttaro purisadammasārathi satthā devamanussānaṃ buddho bhagavā’ti. |
‘That Blessed One is perfected, a fully awakened Buddha, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, holy, knower of the world, supreme guide for those who wish to train, teacher of gods and humans, awakened, blessed.’ |
‘那位世尊是阿罗汉，正等正觉，明行足，善逝，世间解，无上士，调御丈夫，天人师，佛，世尊。’ |
| So imaṃ lokaṃ sadevakaṃ samārakaṃ sabrahmakaṃ sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiṃ pajaṃ sadevamanussaṃ sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā pavedeti. |
He has realized with his own insight this world—with its gods, Māras and Brahmās, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, gods and humans—and he makes it known to others. |
他以自己的洞察力证悟了此世——连同其诸天、魔罗和梵天，以及此世的沙门、婆罗门、天人和人类——并将其告知他人。 |
| So dhammaṃ deseti ādikalyāṇaṃ majjhekalyāṇaṃ pariyosānakalyāṇaṃ sātthaṃ sabyañjanaṃ, kevalaparipuṇṇaṃ parisuddhaṃ brahmacariyaṃ pakāseti. |
He teaches Dhamma that’s good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, meaningful and well-phrased. And he reveals a spiritual practice that’s entirely full and pure. |
他教导的佛法在开始时是好的，在中间是好的，在结尾时也是好的，有意义且措辞优美。他揭示了一种完全圆满和纯粹的精神修行。 |
| Sādhu kho pana tathārūpānaṃ arahataṃ dassanaṃ hotī”ti. |
It’s good to see such perfected ones.” |
能见到这样的阿罗汉是件好事。” |
| Assosi kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo: “samaṇo khalu, bho, gotamo sakyaputto sakyakulā pabbajito mithilaṃ anuppatto, mithilāyaṃ viharati maghadevaambavane”ti. |
The brahmin Brahmāyu also heard that the Buddha had arrived. |
婆罗门梵天达多也听说佛陀来了。 |
| Atha kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo sambahulehi sāvakehi saddhiṃ yena maghadevaambavanaṃ tenupasaṅkami. |
So he went to the Makhādeva Mango Grove together with several disciples. |
于是他带着几名弟子前往猕猴园。 |
| Atha kho brahmāyuno brāhmaṇassa avidūre ambavanassa etadahosi: |
Not far from the grove he thought: |
离园子不远，他心想： |
| “na kho metaṃ patirūpaṃ yohaṃ pubbe appaṭisaṃvidito samaṇaṃ gotamaṃ dassanāya upasaṅkameyyan”ti. |
“It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to go to see the ascetic Gotama without first letting him know.” |
“我未经沙门乔达摩允许就去见他，这不合适。” |
| Atha kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo aññataraṃ māṇavakaṃ āmantesi: |
Then Brahmāyu addressed one of his students: |
于是梵天达多对他的一个学生说： |
| “ehi tvaṃ, māṇavaka, yena samaṇo gotamo tenupasaṅkama; upasaṅkamitvā mama vacanena samaṇaṃ gotamaṃ appābādhaṃ appātaṅkaṃ lahuṭṭhānaṃ balaṃ phāsuvihāraṃ puccha: |
“Here, student, go to the ascetic Gotama and in my name bow with your head to his feet. Ask him if he is healthy and well, nimble, strong, and living comfortably. |
“学生，去沙门乔达摩那里，替我五体投地向他请安。问他是否健康安好，身轻体健，力量充沛，生活舒适。 |
| ‘brahmāyu, bho gotama, brāhmaṇo bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ appābādhaṃ appātaṅkaṃ lahuṭṭhānaṃ balaṃ phāsuvihāraṃ pucchatī’ti. |
|
|
| Evañca vadehi: |
And then say: |
然后说： |
| ‘brahmāyu, bho gotama, brāhmaṇo jiṇṇo vuḍḍho mahallako addhagato vayoanuppatto, vīsavassasatiko jātiyā, tiṇṇaṃ vedānaṃ pāragū sanighaṇḍukeṭubhānaṃ sākkharappabhedānaṃ itihāsapañcamānaṃ, padako, veyyākaraṇo, lokāyatamahāpurisalakkhaṇesu anavayo. |
‘Master Gotama, the brahmin Brahmāyu is old, elderly, and senior, advanced in years, having reached the final stage of life; he is a hundred and twenty years old. He is an expert in the three Vedas, together with their vocabularies, ritual, phonology and etymology, and the testament as fifth. He knows philology and grammar, and is well versed in cosmology and the marks of a great man. |
‘乔达摩大师，婆罗门梵天达多年老、年迈、高寿，已届晚年；他一百二十岁了。他精通三吠陀，连同其词汇、仪式、语音学和词源学，并以第五的契经。他精通语文学和语法，并且精通宇宙学和大丈夫相。 |
| Yāvatā, bho, brāhmaṇagahapatikā mithilāyaṃ paṭivasanti, brahmāyu tesaṃ brāhmaṇo aggamakkhāyati— |
Of all the brahmins and householders residing in Mithilā, Brahmāyu is said to be the foremost in |
在弥提罗所有婆罗门和居士中，梵天达多在 |
| yadidaṃ bhogehi; |
wealth, |
财富、 |
| brahmāyu tesaṃ brāhmaṇo aggamakkhāyati— |
|
|
| yadidaṃ mantehi; |

圣歌、 |
| brahmāyu tesaṃ brāhmaṇo aggamakkhāyati— |
|
|
| yadidaṃ āyunā ceva yasasā ca. |
lifespan, and fame. |
寿命和名声方面，据说都是最出色的。 |
| So bhoto gotamassa dassanakāmo’”ti. |
He wants to see Master Gotama.’” |
他想见乔达摩大师。’” |
| “Evaṃ, bho”ti kho so māṇavako brahmāyussa brāhmaṇassa paṭissutvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavatā saddhiṃ sammodi. |
“Yes, sir,” that student replied. He did as he was asked, and the Buddha said: |
“好的，先生。”那个学生回答。他照办了，佛陀说： |
| Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ aṭṭhāsi. Ekamantaṃ ṭhito kho so māṇavako bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: |
|
|
| “brahmāyu, bho gotama, brāhmaṇo bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ appābādhaṃ appātaṅkaṃ lahuṭṭhānaṃ balaṃ phāsuvihāraṃ pucchati; |
|
|
| evañca vadeti: |
|
|
| ‘brahmāyu, bho gotama, brāhmaṇo jiṇṇo vuḍḍho mahallako addhagato vayoanuppatto, vīsavassasatiko jātiyā, tiṇṇaṃ vedānaṃ pāragū sanighaṇḍukeṭubhānaṃ sākkharappabhedānaṃ itihāsapañcamānaṃ, padako, veyyākaraṇo, lokāyatamahāpurisalakkhaṇesu anavayo. |

|
|
| “Yassadāni, māṇava, brahmāyu brāhmaṇo kālaṃ maññatī”ti. |
“Please, student, let Brahmāyu come when he’s ready.” |
“请学生回去告诉梵天达多，他准备好了就可以来。” |
| Atha kho so māṇavako yena brahmāyu brāhmaṇo tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā brahmāyuṃ brāhmaṇaṃ etadavoca: |
The student went back to Brahmāyu and said to him: |
学生回到梵天达多身边，对他说： |
| “katāvakāso khomhi bhavatā samaṇena gotamena. |
“Your request for an audience with the ascetic Gotama has been granted. |
“您求见沙门乔达摩的请求已被允许。 |
| Yassadāni bhavaṃ kālaṃ maññatī”ti. |
Please go at your convenience.” |
请您方便时去吧。” |
| Atha kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavatā saddhiṃ sammodi. |
Then the brahmin Brahmāyu went up to the Buddha, and exchanged greetings with him. |
婆罗门梵天达多于是来到佛陀处，与他互致问候。 |
| Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. |
When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side, |
问候和礼貌的交谈结束后，他坐到一边， |
| Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo bhagavato kāye dvattiṃsamahāpurisalakkhaṇāni samannesi. |
and scrutinized the Buddha’s body for the thirty-two marks of a great man. |
仔细审视佛陀身体上的三十二大丈夫相。 |
| Addasā kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo bhagavato kāye dvattiṃsamahāpurisalakkhaṇāni, yebhuyyena ṭhapetvā dve. |
He saw all of them except for two, |
他看到了所有相，除了两相， |
| Dvīsu mahāpurisalakkhaṇesu kaṅkhati vicikicchati nādhimuccati na sampasīdati— |
which he had doubts about: |
他对此有疑问： |
| kosohite ca vatthaguyhe pahūtajivhatāya ca. |
whether the private parts are retracted, and the largeness of the tongue. |
私处是否隐匿，以及舌头的大小。 |
| Atha kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo bhagavantaṃ gāthāhi ajjhabhāsi: |
Then Brahmāyu addressed the Buddha in verse: |
于是梵天达多以偈语对佛陀说： |
| Evaṃ vutte, brahmāyu brāhmaṇo uṭṭhāyāsanā ekaṃsaṃ uttarāsaṅgaṃ karitvā bhagavato pādesu sirasā nipatitvā bhagavato pādāni mukhena ca paricumbati, pāṇīhi ca parisambāhati, nāmañca sāveti: |
When he said this, Brahmāyu got up from his seat and arranged his robe on one shoulder. He bowed with his head to the Buddha’s feet, caressing them and covering them with kisses, and pronounced his name: |
他说完后，梵天达多从座位上站起来，将袍服披在一肩。他五体投地向佛陀的双足，爱抚并亲吻它们，并报上自己的名字： |
| “brahmāyu ahaṃ, bho gotama, brāhmaṇo; |
“I am the brahmin Brahmāyu, Master Gotama! |
“我是婆罗门梵天达多，乔达摩大师！ |
| brahmāyu ahaṃ, bho gotama, brāhmaṇo”ti. |
I am the brahmin Brahmāyu!” |
我是婆罗门梵天达多！” |
| Atha kho sā parisā acchariyabbhutacittajātā ahosi: |
Then that assembly, their minds full of wonder and amazement, thought: |
于是大众心生惊奇和赞叹，心想： |
| “acchariyaṃ vata bho, abbhutaṃ vata bho. |
“It’s incredible, it’s amazing, |
“令人难以置信，令人惊叹， |
| Yatra hi nāmāyaṃ brahmāyu brāhmaṇo ñāto yasassī evarūpaṃ paramanipaccakāraṃ karissatī”ti. |
that Brahmāyu, who is so well-known and famous, should show the Buddha such utmost devotion.” |
如此知名且著名的梵天达多，竟然对佛陀表现出如此至高的虔诚。” |
| Atha kho bhagavā brahmāyuṃ brāhmaṇaṃ etadavoca: |
Then the Buddha said to Brahmāyu: |
于是佛陀对梵天达多说： |
| “alaṃ, brāhmaṇa, uṭṭhaha nisīda tvaṃ sake āsane yato te mayi cittaṃ pasannan”ti. |
“Enough, brahmin. Get up, and sit in your own seat, since your mind has such confidence in me.” |
“够了，婆罗门。起来，坐回你的座位上，因为你的心对我如此自信。” |
| Atha kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo uṭṭhahitvā sake āsane nisīdi. |
So Brahmāyu got up and sat in his own seat. |
于是梵天达多站起来，坐回自己的座位。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā brahmāyussa brāhmaṇassa anupubbiṃ kathaṃ kathesi, seyyathidaṃ— |
Then the Buddha taught him step by step, with |
佛陀于是逐步教导他，以 |
| dānakathaṃ, sīlakathaṃ, saggakathaṃ; |
a talk on giving, ethical conduct, and heaven. |
布施、戒行和天界的谈论。 |
| kāmānaṃ ādīnavaṃ okāraṃ saṅkilesaṃ nekkhamme ānisaṃsaṃ pakāsesi. |
He explained the drawbacks of sensual pleasures, so sordid and corrupt, and the benefit of renunciation. |
他解释了感官享乐的弊端，是如此污秽和腐败，以及出离的益处。 |
| Yadā bhagavā aññāsi brahmāyuṃ brāhmaṇaṃ kallacittaṃ muducittaṃ vinīvaraṇacittaṃ udaggacittaṃ pasannacittaṃ, atha yā buddhānaṃ sāmukkaṃsikā dhammadesanā taṃ pakāsesi— |
And when the Buddha knew that Brahmāyu’s mind was ready, pliable, rid of hindrances, joyful, and confident he explained the special teaching of the Buddhas: |
当佛陀知道梵天达多的心已准备好、柔顺、没有障碍、喜悦和自信时，他解释了佛陀的特殊教法： |
| dukkhaṃ, samudayaṃ, nirodhaṃ, maggaṃ. |
suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path. |
苦、苦之源、苦之灭、以及道。 |
| Seyyathāpi nāma suddhaṃ vatthaṃ apagatakāḷakaṃ sammadeva rajanaṃ paṭiggaṇheyya; |
Just as a clean cloth rid of stains would properly absorb dye, |
就像一块干净无染的布能够很好地吸收染料一样， |
| evameva brahmāyussa brāhmaṇassa tasmiṃyeva āsane virajaṃ vītamalaṃ dhammacakkhuṃ udapādi: |
in that very seat the stainless, immaculate vision of the Dhamma arose in the brahmin Brahmāyu: |
就在那个座位上，婆罗门梵天达多生起了无垢、无染的法眼： |
| “yaṃ kiñci samudayadhammaṃ sabbaṃ taṃ nirodhadhamman”ti. |
“Everything that has a beginning has an end.” |
“一切有开始的事物都有结束。” |
| Atha kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo diṭṭhadhammo pattadhammo viditadhammo pariyogāḷhadhammo tiṇṇavicikiccho vigatakathaṅkatho vesārajjappatto aparappaccayo satthusāsane bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: |
Then Brahmāyu saw, attained, understood, and fathomed the Dhamma. He went beyond doubt, got rid of indecision, and became self-assured and independent of others regarding the Teacher’s instructions. He said to the Buddha: |
于是梵天达多见道、证道、明了、彻悟佛法。他超越了疑惑，消除了犹豫不决，对导师的教诲变得自信和不依赖他人。他对佛陀说： |
| “abhikkantaṃ, bho gotama, abhikkantaṃ, bho gotama. |
“Excellent, Master Gotama! Excellent! |
“太好了，乔达摩大师！太好了！ |
| Seyyathāpi, bho gotama, nikkujjitaṃ vā ukkujjeyya, paṭicchannaṃ vā vivareyya, mūḷhassa vā maggaṃ ācikkheyya, andhakāre vā telapajjotaṃ dhāreyya ‘cakkhumanto rūpāni dakkhantī’ti; evamevaṃ bhotā gotamena anekapariyāyena dhammo pakāsito. |
As if he were righting the overturned, or revealing the hidden, or pointing out the path to the lost, or lighting a lamp in the dark so people with good eyes can see what’s there, Master Gotama has made the teaching clear in many ways. |
就像扶正颠倒的，揭示隐藏的，指出迷途者的道路，或在黑暗中点亮一盏灯，让明眼人能看清事物一样，乔达摩大师以多种方式阐明了教法。 |
| Esāhaṃ bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ saraṇaṃ gacchāmi dhammañca bhikkhusaṅghañca. |
I go for refuge to Master Gotama, to the teaching, and to the monk Saṅgha. |
我皈依乔达摩大师，皈依佛法，皈依僧伽。 |
| Upāsakaṃ maṃ bhavaṃ gotamo dhāretu ajjatagge pāṇupetaṃ saraṇaṃ gataṃ. |
From this day forth, may Master Gotama remember me as a lay follower who has gone for refuge for life. |
从今天起，愿乔达摩大师记住我是一个终身皈依的在家弟子。 |
| Adhivāsetu ca me bhavaṃ gotamo svātanāya bhattaṃ saddhiṃ bhikkhusaṅghenā”ti. |
Would you and the monk Saṅgha please accept a meal from me tomorrow?” |
您和僧伽明天能否接受我的供养？” |
| Adhivāsesi bhagavā tuṇhībhāvena. |
The Buddha consented in silence. |
佛陀默许了。 |
| Atha kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo bhagavato adhivāsanaṃ viditvā uṭṭhāyāsanā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṃ katvā pakkāmi. |
Then, knowing that the Buddha had accepted, Brahmāyu got up from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right, before leaving. |
于是，梵天达多知道佛陀已接受，便从座位上站起来，合掌，恭敬地右绕佛陀，然后离开。 |
| Atha kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo tassā rattiyā accayena sake nivesane paṇītaṃ khādanīyaṃ bhojanīyaṃ paṭiyādāpetvā bhagavato kālaṃ ārocāpesi: |
And when the night had passed Brahmāyu had a variety of delicious foods prepared in his own home. Then he had the Buddha informed of the time, saying: |
夜过之后，梵天达多在自己家中准备了各种美味食物。然后他派人通知佛陀时间，说： |
| “kālo, bho gotama, niṭṭhitaṃ bhattan”ti. |
“Itʼs time, Master Gotama, the meal is ready.” |
“乔达摩大师，时间到了，斋饭已备好。” |
| Atha kho bhagavā pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya yena brahmāyussa brāhmaṇassa nivesanaṃ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi saddhiṃ bhikkhusaṅghena. |
Then the Buddha robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, went to the home of the brahmin Brahmāyu, where he sat on the seat spread out, together with the Saṅgha of monks. |
于是佛陀早上穿上僧袍，带着钵和袈裟，前往婆罗门梵天达多家中，与众比丘僧伽一起坐在铺好的座位上。 |
| Atha kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo sattāhaṃ buddhappamukhaṃ bhikkhusaṅghaṃ paṇītena khādanīyena bhojanīyena sahatthā santappesi sampavāresi. |
Then Brahmāyu served and satisfied the monk Saṅgha headed by the Buddha with his own hands with a variety of delicious foods. |
于是梵天达多亲手供养并满足了以佛陀为首的比丘僧伽各种美味食物。 |
| Atha kho bhagavā tassa sattāhassa accayena videhesu cārikaṃ pakkāmi. |
A week later, the Buddha departed to wander in the Videhan lands. |
一周后，佛陀离开，在毗提诃国游方。 |
| Atha kho brahmāyu brāhmaṇo acirapakkantassa bhagavato kālamakāsi. |
Not long after the Buddha left, Brahmāyu passed away. |
佛陀离开后不久，梵天达多便去世了。 |
| Atha kho sambahulā bhikkhū yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamiṃsu; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdiṃsu. Ekamantaṃ nisinnā kho te bhikkhū bhagavantaṃ etadavocuṃ: |
Then several monks went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him: |
于是几位比丘来到佛陀处，合掌，坐到一边，对他说： |
| “brahmāyu, bhante, brāhmaṇo kālaṅkato. |
“Sir, Brahmāyu has passed away. |
“先生，梵天达多已经去世了。 |
| Tassa kā gati, ko abhisamparāyo”ti? |
Where has he been reborn in his next life?” |
他来世投生何处？” |
| “Paṇḍito, bhikkhave, brahmāyu brāhmaṇo paccapādi dhammassānudhammaṃ, na ca maṃ dhammādhikaraṇaṃ vihesesi. |
“monks, the brahmin Brahmāyu was astute. He practiced in line with the teachings, and did not trouble me about the teachings. |
“比丘们，婆罗门梵天达多很聪明。他按照教义修行，没有因为教义而困扰我。 |
| Brahmāyu, bhikkhave, brāhmaṇo pañcannaṃ orambhāgiyānaṃ saṃyojanānaṃ parikkhayā opapātiko hoti, tattha parinibbāyī, anāvattidhammo tasmā lokā”ti. |
With the ending of the five lower fetters, he’s been reborn spontaneously and will become nirvana'd there, not liable to return from that world.” |
随着五下分结的断尽，他已自然往生，并将在此地涅槃，不再从那个世界返回。” |
