輪論品第六(明聽十一偈)
Chapter 6: The Wheel Treatise (Eleven verses clarifying what was heard)
「惟衛佛世時， 槃頭摩國土，
本為四方僧， 興立一房室。
加以床臥具， 皆用持布施，
既與心歡喜， 應時發是願：
『我見等正覺， 令得作沙門，
逮無上無為， 清涼正滅度。』
是因功德本， 九十一劫安，
既得自然見， 在天上世間。
其餘功德福， 於今最後世，
生𠢕長者家， 憍貴無兄弟。
生為父所敬， 即聞垂言教，
吾以子施與， 寶藏億種種。
足底生異毛， 自然長四寸，
身體柔軟好， 穩安得無害。
過去九十劫， 其餘復如一，
我身不識念， 舉足蹈地時。
於今最後世， 已還得人身，
成就無所著， 清涼為滅度。
佛普見說我， 精進尊第一，
解脫盡無漏， 已得不動句。」
如是拘梨種， 在眾僧中央，
於阿耨達池， 自說本功德。
"At the time of Buddha Vipaśyin, in the land of Pāṇḍumāna, I established a dwelling for the four-directional Sangha. With beds and bedding as well, I gave it all in generosity, and with a joyful heart, I made this vow at that very time: 'Seeing the Perfectly Enlightened One, may I become a renunciant, and reach the unexcelled unconditioned, the cool state of true cessation of suffering.' Because of this root of merit, for ninety-one kalpas I dwelt in peace, and gained the natural vision that comes from being among celestial beings and in the human world. As for the remaining merit and blessing, in this present final life I was born into the household of the elder Aṅgulimāla(?), proud and noble, with no brothers. Born, I was cherished by my father, and at once heard his spoken instruction: 'I give my son away,' — with treasures in many thousands of kinds. On the soles of my feet grew extraordinary hairs, naturally four inches long; my body is soft and fair, secure and free from harm. Throughout the past ninety kalpas, again and again the same, I did not know or remember my own body when lifting my foot to tread the ground. Now in this final life, I have again obtained a human body, and accomplished the unattached, the cool state of cessation of suffering. The Buddha sees and declares of me: 'Foremost in diligence, honored above all, liberated, with defilements exhausted, having attained the immovable phrase.'" Thus the son of the Koḷiya clan, in the midst of the Sangha assembly, at Lake Anavatapta, himself declared his former merit.
