轉輪王品第三(之二)
Chapter 3: The Wheel-Turning King(Part 2)
「轉輪王有玉女寶者，何等類？轉輪王明旦與諸大臣共坐參議，時有自然玉女寶在前現，端正姝好面色無比，亦不長不短，不肥不瘦，不白不黑。冬時身則溫，夏時身則凉，身體諸毛孔皆栴檀香，口出蓮華香，轉輪王甚愛重，意不起婬欲向他人，何況當復身行？爾時轉輪王甚歡喜踊躍言：『已為我自然玉女寶，今我已作轉輪王。』轉輪王有玉女寶如是。
The Wheel-Turning King has a precious jewel of a woman—what is she like? In the morning, when the Wheel-Turning King sits in counsel with his ministers, a natural jewel-woman appears before him. She is exquisitely beautiful, with a complexion beyond compare. She is neither tall nor short, neither plump nor thin, neither pale nor dark. In winter, her body is warm; in summer, it is cool. From every pore of her body, the fragrance of sandalwood emanates, and her breath carries the scent of the lotus flower. The Wheel-Turning King holds her in deep affection, yet his mind never stirs with desire toward others—how much less would he act on it bodily? At that moment, the Wheel-Turning King rejoices greatly and exclaims, "Already, a natural jewel-woman has appeared for me. Now I have indeed become a Wheel-Turning King." Such is the precious jewel of a woman belonging to the Wheel-Turning King.
「轉輪王有主藏聖臣寶，何等類？轉輪王明旦坐參議，時見主藏聖臣寶在前，解慧曉事至誠，往至轉輪王所白言：『轉輪王所欲求索者，我為天王辦之，王但安隱坐。』轉輪王欲試主藏聖臣寶，使會四部兵，乘船入水，告主藏聖臣：『我欲得金銀珍寶，當與我。』主藏聖臣白轉輪王言：『渡水已，隨王欲，當與之。』王言：『今當於此用之，疾與我金銀珍寶，渡水已我不用。』主藏聖臣聞受其教，整衣服船上長跪右手撓水，以器鈔金銀珍寶。譬如蟲著樹，諸金銀珍寶器，著手如是。爾時，主藏聖臣，持眾珍寶著船上，白轉輪王言：『欲得幾許金銀珍寶？今當與王。』轉輪王告主藏聖臣言：『我所有金銀珍寶甚眾多，但欲試卿耳！』主藏聖臣聞已，便還持金銀珍寶著水中。爾時，轉輪王甚歡喜踊躍言：『已為我自然主藏聖臣寶，我已為轉輪王。』轉輪王有主藏聖臣寶如是。
The Wheel-Turning King has a precious treasure: his chief steward. What is this like? One morning, as the Wheel-Turning King sat in council, the chief steward appeared before him—a man of sharp understanding, wise in affairs, and utterly loyal. Approaching the king, he said, “Whatever you desire, my lord, I will provide it for you. You need only sit at ease.”
The Wheel-Turning King wished to test his chief steward, so he summoned his fourfold army and boarded a ship to cross the waters. He told the steward, “I want gold, silver, and precious gems—bring them to me.”
The chief steward replied, “Once we have crossed the water, I will give you whatever you wish.”
But the king said, “I want them here, now. Quickly bring me gold, silver, and jewels. Once we cross, I will have no need of them.”
Hearing this, the steward knelt on the deck, straightened his robes, and dipped his right hand into the water. He scooped up gold, silver, and gems with a vessel—just as insects cling to a tree, so the treasures filled his hand. Then he placed the jewels before the king and asked, “How much gold and silver do you wish for? I will give it to you now.”
The Wheel-Turning King replied, “I already possess great stores of gold and jewels. I only wanted to test you.”
Hearing this, the steward returned the treasures to the water. And the Wheel-Turning King was filled with joy and delight, saying, “Now I have truly gained my chief steward treasure, naturally come to me. I am indeed a Wheel-Turning King.”
Such is the chief steward treasure of the Wheel-Turning King.
「轉輪王有兵臣寶，何等類？轉輪王明旦坐參議，時見有兵臣在前，解慧勇猛曉事，往至轉輪王所，白轉輪王言：『所欲為作我為辦，王但自安坐莫憂！』爾時，轉輪王欲試兵臣，使會四部兵，告兵臣寶言：『不曉兵法者教令曉之，已曉者教令重知，不曉住者教令知住，不曉騎乘弓馬者教令知。』兵臣寶即受教，皆教諸兵。轉輪王甚歡喜踊躍言：『已為我自然兵臣寶，我今已為轉輪王。』轉輪王有兵臣寶如是。」
The Wheel-Turning King has a treasure among his ministers—the military minister. What is he like? In the morning, as the Wheel-Turning King sits in counsel, he sees the military minister standing before him—wise, courageous, and quick-witted. The minister approaches the king and says: “Whatever you wish to be done, I will see to it. You need only sit at ease, and do not worry.” Then the Wheel-Turning King, wishing to test his military minister, summons the four divisions of the army and commands the minister: “Those who do not understand military tactics, teach them to understand; those who already understand, have them deepen their knowledge; those who do not know how to stand in formation, teach them to stand; those who do not know horsemanship or archery, instruct them.” The military minister, receiving the command, trains all the soldiers accordingly. The Wheel-Turning King, overjoyed and elated, says: “Indeed, a military minister has come to me naturally. Now I have truly become a Wheel-Turning King.” Such is the Wheel-Turning King’s military minister—his treasure.
佛言：「轉輪王有七寶如是。」
The Buddha said, "The Wheel-Turning King possesses the Seven Treasures as such."
佛言：「轉輪王有四德。云何為四德？一者大富，珍寶田宅奴婢珠玉象馬工巧者眾多，天下人富無有如轉輪王者，是為轉輪王第一德。二者轉輪王最端正姝好顏色無比，天下人端正姝好，無有如轉輪王者，是為轉輪王第二德。三者轉輪王常安隱無疾病，身常等等，亦不寒熱，寒熱適其意，諸所飲食食皆安隱，天下人無有如轉輪王無疾病者，是為轉輪王第三德。四者轉輪王常安隱長壽，天下人無有常安隱長壽如轉輪王者，是為轉輪王四德。轉輪王有七寶及四德如是。
The Buddha said: "The Wheel-Turning King possesses four virtues. What are these four virtues? First, great wealth—he has abundant treasures, fields, homes, servants, jewels, elephants, horses, and many skilled workers. No one in the world is as wealthy as the Wheel-Turning King. This is the first virtue of the Wheel-Turning King. Second, the Wheel-Turning King is the most handsome and noble in appearance, with a beauty that is beyond compare. No one in the world is as handsome and noble as the Wheel-Turning King. This is the second virtue of the Wheel-Turning King. Third, the Wheel-Turning King is always peaceful and free from illness. His body is always in balance, neither too cold nor too hot. The temperature suits him perfectly, and all his food and drink are consumed with ease. No one in the world is as free from illness as the Wheel-Turning King. This is the third virtue of the Wheel-Turning King. Fourth, the Wheel-Turning King always enjoys peace, stability, and a long life. No one in the world enjoys such lasting peace and longevity as the Wheel-Turning King. These are the four virtues of the Wheel-Turning King. The Wheel-Turning King possesses the seven treasures and these four virtues in this way."
「轉輪王以正法行為政現，不轉善現，行十善事。教諸小國王傍臣左右人民，奉行十善事。轉輪王哀念諸郡國人民，如父哀子，諸郡國人民，愛敬轉輪王如子愛父。轉輪王治天下，閻浮利地平正無有高下，無有棘刺，無有毒獸蟲蟻，無有山陵谿谷，無有礫石地，但有棄捐金銀明月珠玉琉璃琥珀水精車𤦲馬瑙珊瑚。轉輪王在天下治國時，富樂安隱熾盛，五穀豐熟人民眾多。」
The Wheel-Turning King governs with righteousness, not with force, practicing the ten wholesome deeds. He teaches the lesser kings, his ministers, and all the people to follow the ten wholesome actions. The Wheel-Turning King cares for the people of all provinces as a father cares for his children, and the people of all provinces love and respect him as children love their father. When the Wheel-Turning King rules the world, the land of Jambudvipa is level and even, without high or low places, without thorns or brambles, without poisonous beasts or insects, without mountains or valleys, without gravel or stones. Instead, the ground is strewn with discarded gold, silver, moon pearls, jade, crystal, amber, quartz, carnelian, agate, and coral. When the Wheel-Turning King governs the world, there is abundance, peace, and prosperity—the five grains ripen in plenty, and the people are many.
佛語諸比丘：「轉輪王治國時，天下有八萬郡國聚落居，鷄鳴展轉相聞。轉輪王治國時，天下常遍有水，草木常青，木常有葉華；其地草葉，周匝分布，色如孔雀毛，其香如華香，足蹈上四寸入地，舉足還復如故，地草又無四寸空缺處。有香樹常生華實，破其實出種種香。有衣被樹，出華實及種種衣被。有珠寶瓔珞樹出華實，破中有無央數種種珠寶瓔珞。有不息華樹出華實，破中有種種不息。有果樹，常生華實，破中有種種果。有器樹生華實，破中有種種器。有妓樂樹生華實，破中有種種音樂。轉輪王治國，是時天下閻浮利不耕種，米穀稻粮皆自然生，清潔無穬，出其有種種甘。轉輪王臨壽終時，身不甚痛。譬如習樂人大食，腹不甚痛。轉輪王臨壽終時，身體不痛如是。轉輪王命過已後，金輪、白象寶便滅去，紺色馬、明月珠寶亦沒去，玉女寶、主藏聖臣寶、導道聖臣寶，便沐浴轉輪王身，以綿纏身，復以五百張㲲纏身，著鐵棺中，以酥灌其上，滿已蓋覆之，以釘釘之。出轉輪王棺，眾人共作妓樂歌舞。出著城外，積一切香薪，持轉輪王棺，著上便放火燒。燒已玉女寶、主藏聖臣寶、導道聖臣寶，共收骨以置於四徼道中起塔，高四十里，廣長四十里，周匝起墻廣長二百里，以七寶金銀水精琉璃赤真珠車𤦲馬瑙，七重欄楯、七重交露、七重行樹，周匝圍遶，甚姝好。其從四方來，禮轉輪王，行法起塔，皆得無數福。爾時玉女寶、主藏聖臣寶、導道聖臣寶，為轉輪王起塔已，便布施飢者與飯，渴者與漿，欲得衣者與衣，欲得香熏華者與香熏華，欲得財物牛羊者與之。其後玉女寶、主藏聖臣寶、導道聖臣寶乃命過。」
The Buddha told the monks: "When a Wheel-Turning King rules the land, the world has eighty thousand towns and villages, where the crowing of roosters can be heard spreading from one to another. When a Wheel-Turning King rules the land, the world is always filled with water, the grass and trees are always green, and the trees always have leaves and blossoms. The grass and leaves spread out around, colored like peacock feathers, fragrant like flowers. When stepped on, they sink four inches into the ground, and when the foot is lifted, they return to their original state, leaving no gap of four inches in the grass. There are fragrant trees that always bear flowers and fruit; when the fruit is broken open, all kinds of fragrances come out. There are clothing trees that produce flowers, fruit, and all kinds of clothing. There are jewel and ornament trees that bear flowers and fruit; when broken open, they contain countless kinds of jewels and ornaments. There are never-fading flower trees that bear flowers and fruit; when broken open, they contain various never-fading flowers. There are fruit trees that always bear flowers and fruit; when broken open, they contain all kinds of fruits. There are vessel trees that bear flowers and fruit; when broken open, they contain all kinds of vessels. There are music trees that bear flowers and fruit; when broken open, they contain all kinds of music. When a Wheel-Turning King rules the land, at that time the world of Jambudvipa does not need farming—rice and grains all grow naturally, clean and free of chaff, with all kinds of sweet flavors. When a Wheel-Turning King approaches the end of his life, his body does not hurt much—just as one who enjoys music and has eaten a great deal feels little pain in the belly, so too does the Wheel-Turning King feel little pain in his body as his life ends. After the Wheel-Turning King passes away, the golden wheel and the white elephant treasure vanish, and the blue horse and the shining pearl treasure also disappear. Then the jewel woman, the treasure-keeping minister, and the guiding minister bathe the Wheel-Turning King's body, wrap it in silk, then wrap it in five hundred bolts of cloth, place it in an iron coffin, pour oil over it, fill it up, cover it, and seal it with nails. They bring out the Wheel-Turning King's coffin, and the people together play music and sing and dance. They carry it outside the city, pile up all kinds of fragrant wood, place the Wheel-Turning King's coffin on top, and set it ablaze. After the burning, the jewel woman, the treasure-keeping minister, and the guiding minister together collect the bones and place them at a crossroads, where they build a stupa forty li high and forty li long and wide, surrounded by walls two hundred li long and wide, adorned with the seven treasures—gold, silver, crystal, lapis lazuli, red pearls, carnelian, and agate—with seven tiers of railings, seven tiers of hanging canopies, and seven rows of trees encircling it, most beautiful. Those who come from the four directions to pay respects to the Wheel-Turning King and follow the Dharma in building the stupa all gain immeasurable merit. At that time, the jewel woman, the treasure-keeping minister, and the guiding minister, after building the stupa for the Wheel-Turning King, then gave alms: food to the hungry, drink to the thirsty, clothing to those who wanted clothing, incense and flowers to those who wanted incense and flowers, and wealth, cattle, and sheep to those who wanted them. Afterward, the jewel woman, the treasure-keeping minister, and the guiding minister passed away."
大樓炭經泥犁品第四(之一)
佛告比丘：「有大鐵圍山，更復有第二大鐵圍山，中間窈窈冥冥，其日月大尊神光明不能及照。其中有八大泥犁，一泥犁者，有十六部。第一大泥犁名想、第二大泥犁名黑耳、第三大泥犁名僧乾、第四大泥犁名樓獵、第五大泥犁名噭嚾、第六大泥犁名燒炙、第七大泥犁名釜煮、第八大泥犁名阿鼻摩訶。」
The Buddha told the monks: "There is a great iron surrounding mountain, and beyond it there is a second great iron surrounding mountain. Between them lies a vast, dark abyss where even the radiant light of the sun and moon cannot reach. Within this place are eight great hells, and each great hell has sixteen subsidiary realms. The first great hell is called 'Imagining,' the second is called 'Black Ears,' the third is called 'Samgha,' the fourth is called 'Tower Hunt,' the fifth is called 'Crying Out,' the sixth is called 'Burning and Tormenting,' the seventh is called 'Cauldron Boiling,' and the eighth is called 'Unrelenting Suffering.'"
佛言：「何以名為想？其大想泥犁，若有人墮中，其八指生爪如利刀，以相把刺，其肉應手墮去，想念欲相殺，以是麤事，名為想泥犁。更復有餘種種因緣，復次，其大想泥犁，若有人墮中者，手中自然刀劍，以相斫刺，想欲殺他人，以是麤想事故，名為想。復有餘因緣，其有人墮中者，手自然小刀，以刺剝他人，想念欲殺之，以是麤想事故，名為想。復有餘因緣，其有人墮大想泥犁中者，以手搔從足剝餘者至頂，想念欲殺他人，涼風起吹之，身瘡平復，展轉相語，當復長生，中復有相語言：『我曹今適生。』以是故，名為想泥犁。復有餘因緣，用是故泥犁人壽長久，乃從想泥犁中出，便走求解脫。
「復有泥犁，名為黑界，縱廣二萬里，悉入中裏，火從身出，繞身三匝還入身，毒痛不可忍，過惡未解故不死。復次，黑界泥犁東壁火繞三匝燒人，火焰至西壁，西壁火焰至東壁，南壁火焰至北壁，北壁火焰至南壁，上火焰下至地，下焰上至上，人在中燒炙，毒痛不可忍，過惡未解故不死，在其中甚久久，乃從黑界泥犁出，便走求解脫。
There is also a hell called the Black Realm, spanning twenty thousand leagues in every direction. All who enter it are consumed within. Flames burst forth from their bodies, wrap around them three times, and then re-enter their flesh. The agony is unbearable, yet they do not die, for their past misdeeds have not been exhausted. Furthermore, in the Black Realm hell, flames from the eastern wall wrap around and burn the beings, reaching to the western wall; flames from the western wall reach to the eastern wall; flames from the southern wall reach to the northern wall; and flames from the northern wall reach to the southern wall. Flames from above descend to the ground, and flames from below rise to the heavens. Those within are scorched and broiled, suffering torment beyond endurance, yet they do not die, for their past misdeeds have not been exhausted. They remain there for an exceedingly long time. Only then do they emerge from the Black Realm hell and flee, seeking liberation.

佛言：「何以故名為阿鼻摩訶？其有罪人，墮阿鼻摩訶泥犁中者，眼但見惡色不見善色，耳但聞惡聲不聞善聲，口所食但得惡味不得甘美，鼻所聞臭不聞好香，身所更但得惡意，所念法但有惡無善，是故名為阿鼻摩訶。復有餘因緣，有罪人墮阿鼻摩訶泥犁中者，東壁火焰至西壁，西壁火焰至東壁，南壁火焰至北壁，北壁火焰至南壁，上火焰下至地，地火焰上至上，六面火來，燒炙人毒痛，是故名為阿鼻摩訶。復次，其罪人墮阿鼻摩訶泥犁中者，彈指頃無有樂，是故名為阿鼻摩訶。罪人在其中甚長久，乃從阿鼻摩訶泥犁中出，便走欲求解脫，隨次入十六泥犁如前，至寒氷泥犁乃死。」
佛言：「大鐵圍山外，閻浮利天下南，有閻羅王城，縱廣二十四萬里，以七寶作七重壁，七重欄楯，七重刀分，七重行樹，園觀浴池，周匝圍繞，金壁銀門，銀壁金門，琉璃壁水精門，水精壁琉璃門，赤真珠壁馬瑙門，馬瑙壁赤真珠門，車𤦲壁一切寶門，上有曲箱蓋交露，下有園觀浴池，有種種樹葉花實，出種種香，種種飛鳥，相和而鳴。」
佛言：「人身行惡口言惡心念惡，死後墮此閻羅王泥犁中者，泥犁旁便反縛罪人，以見閻羅王，白王言：『此諸人悉不孝於父母，不承事沙門道人，不畏後世禁忌，願王隨所知而罰之。』王即呼人前，安諦審實，問其人：『汝昔在世間時，不見人年老百二十，頭白齒落，面皺皮緩，氣力衰微，持杖而行，身體戰慄？』其人言：『已見。』『何以不自念：「我亦當如是老極，無有能脫不老者。」何不自改身口意為善？』人對言：『我實婬亂。』王言：『今我當便問汝婬亂之意，是過非父母過，亦非兄弟過，亦非天帝王過，亦非親屬知識過，亦非先祖去人過，亦非沙門婆羅門過。汝作惡，身自當受。』第一閻羅王問，王第二安諦審實問：『汝昔在世間時，為不見人男女病，困劣著床，惡露自出，身臥其上，不能坐起，居人坐起飲食之？』其人對言：『已見。』王言：『汝何以不念：「我亦當如是病瘦。」自改身口意為善？』『我實婬亂。』王言：『今我當便問汝婬亂之意，是過亦非父母過，亦非兄弟過，亦非天帝王過，亦非親屬知識過，亦非先祖去人之過，亦非沙門非婆羅門過。汝自作惡，身自當受。』第二閻羅王問，王第三問：『汝昔在世間時，為不見男女死時，身體壞敗，破碎如林木棄捐，為烏鳥蟲蟻狐狼所食，若有燒者葬埋者？』其人對言：『已見。』『汝何以不自念：「我亦當如是死。」當自改身口意為善？』『我實婬亂。』王言：『我當問汝婬亂之意，是非父母過，亦非兄弟過，亦非天帝王過，亦非先祖去人過，亦非親屬知識過，亦非沙門婆羅門過。汝自作惡，身自當受。』第三閻羅王問，閻羅王第四問：『汝昔在世間，為不見小兒無所知屎溺自身？』其人言：『我已見。』『何以不自念：「我本亦如是。」當自改身口意為善？』『我實婬亂。』王言：『今我當問汝婬亂之意，是過非父母過，亦非兄弟過，亦非天帝王過，亦非先祖去人過，亦非親屬知識過，亦非沙門婆羅門過。汝自作惡，身自當受。』第四閻羅王問，閻羅王第五安諦審實問：『汝昔在世間時，為不見郡國縣邑得盜賊犯事殺人者以見白王，王勅使四支梟掉之；若著釜中煮，若生燒之；若閉著牢獄，掠笞毒痛；若斷手足鼻耳，若生貫之，若斷頭，種種酷毒之？』其人對言：『已見。』『汝何以不自念：「我若有過，亦當取我如是。」當改身口意為善？』『我實婬亂。』『當問汝婬亂之意，是過非父母過，亦非兄弟過，亦非天帝王過，亦非先祖去人過，亦非親屬知識過，亦非沙門婆羅門過。汝自作惡，身自當受。』第五閻羅王問，便持付泥犁旁，即各各取人倒著泥犁，泥犁城廣長，各四萬里，窈窈冥冥。」
佛爾時說偈言：
「四方有四門， 諸角治甚堅，
垣壁以鐵作， 上亦用鐵覆，
其地悉布鐵， 火悉自然出。
「其界有十大泥犁：第一名阿浮、第二名尼羅浮、第三名阿呵不、第四名阿波浮、第五名阿羅留、第六名優鉢、第七名修揵、第八名蓮花、第九名拘文、第十名分陀利。」
佛言：「何故名為阿浮？阿浮泥犁中罪人，自然生身，譬如雲氣，是故名為阿浮。何以故名為尼羅浮？尼羅浮泥犁中罪人身，譬如鹿獨肉，是故名為尼羅浮。何以故名為阿呵不？阿呵不泥犁中罪人，甚大苦甚大痛喚呼，是故名為阿呵不。何以故名為阿波浮？阿波浮泥犁中罪人，甚酷甚痛，大呼㖒喚，是故名為阿波浮。何以故名為阿羅留？阿羅留泥犁中罪人，甚苦甚痛，欲喚呼不能，但動舌，是故名為阿羅留。何以故名為修揵？修揵泥犁中罪人，身譬黃火，是故名為修揵。何以故名為優鉢？優鉢泥犁中罪人，身青譬如優鉢，是故名為優鉢。何以故名為拘文？拘文泥犁中罪人，身色黃白，譬如拘文，是故名為拘文。何以故名為分陀利？分陀利泥犁中罪人，身色赤如分陀利，是故名為分陀利。何以故名為蓮華，蓮華泥犁中罪人，身紅色，是故名為蓮華。」
佛言：「譬如有百二十斛四升篅，滿中芥子，百歲者人取一芥子去。比丘！是百二十斛四升芥子悉盡，人在阿浮泥犁中常未竟。若人在尼羅浮泥犁中者，百歲取一芥子，盡二千四百八十斛芥子，乃得出耳。在阿呵不泥犁中，百歲取一芥子，盡四萬八千一百六十斛乃得出。在阿波浮泥犁中，百歲取一芥子，盡九十六萬三千三百斛乃得出。在阿羅留泥犁中，百歲取一芥子，盡千九百二十六萬四千斛乃得出。在修揵泥犁中，百歲取一芥子，盡三億八千萬五百二十八斛乃得出。在青蓮華泥犁中，百歲取一芥子，盡八十六億五百六十斛乃得出。在黃白蓮華泥犁中，百歲取一芥子，盡千七百二億萬一千二百斛乃得出。在拘文蓮華泥犁中，百歲取一芥子，盡三萬四千四百億二十二萬四千斛乃得出。在紅蓮華泥犁中，百歲取一芥子，盡六十萬八千八百億四百四十八萬斛乃得出。二十小劫為半劫，有人名句波利，墮紅蓮華泥犁中，坐誹謗舍利弗、摩訶目揵連。」
佛於是說偈言：
「若有人發起者， 從口語出刀刃，
坐語說惡之事， 便還而自截傷。
若有誹反歎譽， 可歎者反誹謗，
口說惡猶重過， 口過重不安隱。
譬如人博掩者， 是諸惡過薄耳，
有惡意向賢者， 是過為最重大。
泥犁浮有百千， 阿浮有三十五。
「閻羅王晝夜各三過燒熱銅，自然火在前宮中，王即恐畏，衣毛起竪，即出宮舍外，外亦自然有，大王大怖懅還入宮，泥犁旁便各各取閻羅王，擿燒鐵地，持鐵鉤鈎其口皆開，以消銅灌王口中，燋喉咽以皆燋腹中腸胃五臟，銅便下過去燒炙，毒痛不可忍，過惡未盡故不死，世間其有身行惡、口言惡、心念惡，死後墮惡道，燒炙毒痛，如泥犁中罪人。世間人其有身行善、口言善、心念善，死後皆生天上。」
佛於是說偈言：
「王使神呼問之， 人民所作惡過，
其人常而憂毒， 人用是身勤苦。
知當問不作惡， 即奉行賢善法，
若有恐見因緣， 生但有病及死。
無因緣便解脫， 生病死便滅盡，
得安隱甚快樂， 即見在得滅度。
一切恐怖畏懅， 度無為獨有常。」
