如是我聞:一時,佛在王舍城耆闍崛山中。值天雲霧,降少微雨,電光暉赫,處處晃耀。爾時,世尊即於其夜露地經行。魔王波旬而作是念:「沙門瞿曇在王舍城耆闍崛山,值天雲霧,降少微雨,電光暉赫,處處光耀,於其夜中露地經行。我當往彼,而作壞亂。」爾時,魔王作是念已,在其山上,推大石下,欲到佛所。時,彼大石,自然碎壞。
Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying in Rājagṛha, on Vulture Peak Mountain. The sky was overcast with clouds and mist, and a light drizzle was falling. Lightning flashed brilliantly, illuminating everything all around. That night, the World-Honored One was walking in meditation in the open air. Māra, the king of demons, had this thought: "The renunciant Gautama is staying in Rājagṛha, on Vulture Peak Mountain. The sky is overcast with clouds and mist, a light drizzle is falling, lightning flashes brilliantly, illuminating everything all around, and in the middle of the night he is walking in meditation in the open air. I will go there and cause disruption." Then, Māra the king of demons, having formed this thought, pushed a great boulder down from the mountain, intending to reach the place where the Buddha was. At that moment, the great boulder naturally shattered to pieces.
爾時,世尊即說偈言:
「汝壞靈鷲山, 令如粉微塵,
巨海及大地, 悉皆分碎裂。
欲使正解脫, 生於怖畏相,
欲令毛髮竪, 終無有是處。」
爾時,魔王作是念言:「沙門瞿曇知我所念。」憂愁苦惱,即便隱身,還于天宮。
