佛說地婆達兜擲石緣經第七
聞如是：
Thus have I heard:
一時佛在阿耨大泉，與大比丘眾五百人俱，皆是阿羅漢，六通神足，唯除一比丘——阿難也。
At that time, the Buddha was at the Great Spring of Aruṇa, accompanied by a great assembly of five hundred bhikkhus. All were Arhats, possessing the six supernormal powers and spiritual mastery—except for one bhikkhu, Ānanda.
是時，佛告舍利弗：「往昔過去世，於羅閱祇城，有長者名曰須檀，大富，多饒財寶、象、馬、七珍、僮僕、侍使，產業備足。子名須摩提。其父須檀，奄然命終。須摩提有異母弟，名修耶舍。摩提心念：『我當云何設計，不與修耶舍分？』須摩提復念：『唯當殺之，乃得不與耳。』須摩提語修耶舍：『大弟，共詣耆闍崛山上，有所論說去來。』修耶舍曰：『可爾。』須摩提即執弟手上山，既上山已，將至絕高崖頭，便推置崖底，以石塠之，便即命絕。」
At that time, the Buddha said to Shariputra: "In the distant past, in the city of Rājagṛha, there was a wealthy elder named Sudatta, who possessed great riches—abundant treasures, elephants, horses, the seven precious things, servants, attendants, and complete estates. He had a son named Sumati. When his father Sudatta passed away, Sumati had a younger half-brother named Suyaśa. Sumati thought to himself: 'How can I devise a plan so that I do not have to share the inheritance with Suyaśa?' Then he thought: 'Only by killing him can I avoid sharing it.' Sumati said to Suyaśa: 'Dear brother, let us go to Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa to discuss some matters.' Suyaśa replied: 'Very well.' Sumati then took his brother's hand and led him up the mountain. Once they reached the summit, he pushed him off the highest cliff, buried him with stones, and thus ended his life."
佛語舍利弗：「汝知爾時長者須檀者不？則今父王真淨是也；爾時子須摩提者，則我身是；弟修耶舍者，則今地婆達兜是。」
The Buddha said to Shariputra, "Do you know who the elder Sudatta was back then? He is none other than my father, King Śuddhodana, today. And who was his son, Sumati? That is myself. And his younger brother, Suyaśa? That is Devadatta today."
佛語舍利弗：「我爾時貪財、害弟，以是罪故，無數千歲，在地獄中燒煮、為鐵山所塠。爾時殘緣，今雖得阿惟三佛，故不能免此宿對。我於耆闍崛山經行，為地婆達兜舉崖石，長六丈、廣三丈，以擲佛頭。耆闍崛山神，名金埤羅，以手接石，石邊小片，迸墮中佛脚拇指，即破血出。」
The Buddha said to Shariputra, "At that time, I was greedy for wealth and harmed my brother. Because of that sin, for countless thousands of years, I was burned and boiled in hell, crushed by iron mountains. The remaining karmic traces from that time—even though I have now attained perfect enlightenment—still could not spare me from this past retribution. While I was walking on Vulture Peak, Devadatta lifted a cliff rock, six zhang long and three zhang wide, and hurled it at the Buddha's head. The mountain deity of Vulture Peak, named Jinpiluo, caught the rock with his hand. A small fragment from the edge of the rock flew off and struck the Buddha's foot, breaking his big toe and drawing blood."
於是，世尊即說宿命偈曰：
Then the World-Honored One spoke this verse about past lives:
「我往以財故， 殺其異母弟，
推著高崖下， 以石塠其上。
以是因緣故， 久受地獄苦，
於其地獄中， 為鐵山所塠。
由是殘餘殃， 地婆達下石，
崖片落傷脚， 破我脚拇指。
因緣終不朽， 亦不著虛空。
當護三因緣， 莫犯身、口、意。
今我成尊佛， 得為三界將，
阿耨大泉中， 說此先世緣。」
"In the past, for wealth's sake, I killed my half-brother, Pushing him off a high cliff, and piling stones upon him. Because of this deed, I suffered long in hell, Where in that realm, I was crushed by iron mountains. As a remnant of that karma, Devadatta hurled a rock, And a falling shard struck my foot, breaking my big toe. Karma never fades, nor does it vanish in the void. Guard the three gates—do not transgress with body, speech, or mind. Now I have become a Buddha, a guide for the three worlds, At the great lake of Anavatapta, I speak of this past-life tale."
佛語舍利弗：「汝觀如來，眾惡已盡、諸善普具，諸天、龍、神、帝王、臣民、一切眾生，皆欲度之，尚有宿緣，不能得免，況復愚冥、未得道者？舍利弗等，當學如是，莫犯身、口、意。」
佛說是已，舍利弗及五百羅漢、阿耨大龍王、天、龍、鬼神、乾沓和、阿須倫、迦樓羅、甄陀羅、摩休勒，聞佛所說，歡喜受行。
After the Buddha had spoken these words, Shariputra and the five hundred arhats, along with the dragon king Anavatapta, the gods, dragons, spirits, celestial musicians, demigods, garudas, centaurs, and mahoragas, all heard what the Buddha had said. They rejoiced and put his teachings into practice.
