（二六）
Chapter 26
如是我聞：
Thus have I heard:
一時，佛住王舍城迦蘭陀竹林。爾時，世尊於初夜後分，坐臥經行。於其晨朝，洗足入房，右脇著地，足足相累，繫心在明，修於念覺，而生起想。爾時，魔王波旬即作是念：「沙門瞿曇在王舍城迦蘭陀竹林中，經行坐臥。於其晨朝，洗足入房，右脇著地，足足相累，繫心在明，修於念覺，作於起想。我當至彼，而作嬈亂。」作是念已，化為摩納，在佛前住，而說偈言：
At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Bamboo Grove of Kalandaka in Rajagaha. Then the World-Honored One, after the first watch of the night had passed, sat, lay down, and walked in meditation. In the early morning, he washed his feet, entered his dwelling, lay down on his right side with one foot resting on the other, fixed his mind on the light, cultivated the factor of awakening of mindfulness, and gave rise to the perception of rising. Then Mara the Evil One had this thought: "The renunciant Gotama is staying in the Bamboo Grove of Kalandaka in Rajagaha, walking, sitting, and lying down in meditation. In the early morning, he washed his feet, entered his dwelling, lay down on his right side with one foot resting on the other, fixed his mind on the light, cultivated the factor of awakening of mindfulness, and gave rise to the perception of rising. I should go to him and cause disturbance." Having had this thought, he transformed himself into a young brahmin student, stood before the Buddha, and spoke this verse:
「何以睡眠？ 何以睡眠？ 云何睡眠， 如入涅槃？
如所作辦， 而自安眠， 乃至日出， 故復眠也。」
"Why sleep? Why sleep? How is it that one sleeps as if one had entered Nirvana? As if one's tasks were done, one rests at ease—even until sunrise, and so sleeps again."
佛知天魔來作嬈亂，即說偈言：
The Buddha knew that the heavenly demon had come to cause trouble and disruption, and so he spoke this verse:
「愛網著諸有， 遍覆一切處，
我今破斯網， 諸愛永已斷。
一切有生盡， 安隱涅槃樂，
波旬汝今者， 於我復何為？」
"The net of craving clings to all existences, spreading over everywhere. I now break this net; all cravings are forever cut off. All becoming and birth are exhausted; there is the peaceful bliss of Nirvana. Mara, what can you do to me now?"
爾時，魔王聞說偈已，憂愁苦惱，即便隱形，還于天宮。
At that time, upon hearing this verse, the demon king Mara was overcome with sorrow and distress. He immediately made himself invisible and returned to his heavenly palace.
