SA-2 222（二二二）

Parallel to: SN 5.7 / SĀ 1206

Thus have I heard:

如是我闻：

Once, the Buddha was at Anāthapiṇḍada's Park in the Jeta Grove near Śrāvastī. At that time, the bhikṣuṇī Upacālā was staying at the King's Park Monastery. In the morning, she put on her robes, took her alms bowl, and entered Śrāvastī to beg for food. After begging for food, she washed her bowl and feet, took her sitting mat, went to the Eye-Obtaining Grove, sat upright and straight under a tree, and entered the divine state of abiding. At that time, Māra the Evil One thought, "Now the Śramaṇa Gautama is at Anāthapiṇḍada's Park in the Jeta Grove near Śrāvastī. At the King's Park Monastery, there is a bhikṣuṇī named Upacālā. In the morning, she put on her robes, took her alms bowl, and entered Śrāvastī to beg for food. After begging for food, she washed her feet, put away her sitting mat, went to the Eye-Obtaining Grove, sat upright and straight under a tree, and entered the divine state of abiding. I shall now go there to create confusion." Having thought this, he transformed himself into a young brahmin and went to her, asking the bhikṣuṇī, "Noble Lady, where do you wish to be reborn?"

一时，佛在舍卫国祇树给孤独园。尔时优波折罗比丘尼，住王园精舍，于其晨朝，著衣持钵，入舍卫城乞食，乞食已，洗钵洗足，摄持坐具，诣得眼林，在一树下，正身端坐，入于天住。尔时，魔王作是念言：「今瞿昙沙门在舍卫国祇树给孤独园。王园精舍有比丘尼，名曰优波折罗，于其晨朝，著衣持钵，入舍卫城乞食，食讫洗足，收摄坐具，诣得眼林，在一树下，正身端坐，入于天住。我今当往而作坏乱。」作是念已，化作摩纳，即往其所，问比丘尼言：「阿利耶欲何处受身？」

The bhikṣuṇī replied, "I have no place to be reborn at all."

比丘尼答曰：「我都无受身处。」

At that time, the young brahmin spoke a verse, saying:

尔时，摩纳即说偈言：

The Heaven of the Thirty-three, the Heaven of Yāma, the Heaven of Tuṣita
the Heaven of Nirmāṇarati, and the Heaven of Paranirmitavaśavartin - these places are
extremely blissful. You should wish for and enjoy them, experiencing the supreme and wonderful things.

「忉利及炎摩，　　兜率与化乐，他化自在天，　　是处极快乐，汝应愿乐彼，　　受于胜妙事。」

The bhikṣuṇī Upāsikā also spoke a verse, saying:

优波折罗比丘尼复说偈言：

Although the Heaven of the Thirty-three, the Heaven of Yāma, the Heaven
of Tuṣita, the Heaven of Nirmāṇarati, and the Heaven of Paranirmitavaśavartin all
experience bliss, they are not free from the view of self and
will certainly be bound by Māra. The world is all in motion
and they too will return and change. There are no ordinary beings
who are free from the realm of Māra. The world is all
ablaze, the world is all emitting smoke. I delight in this place
where there is no motion, where all love is cut off, all
ignorance and darkness are extinguished, and the state of cessation is attained
abiding in the undefiled Dharma. Therefore, know that Pāpīyān has fallen into
a losing position.

「忉利及炎摩，　　兜率与化乐，他化自在天，　　诸处虽受乐，不离于我见，　　必为魔所缚，世间皆动摇，　　彼亦归迁谢。无有诸凡夫，　　离魔之境界，世间皆炽然，　　世间皆烟出，离于动摇者，　　我乐如此处，断除一切爱，　　灭诸无明暗，逮得于灭尽，　　安住无漏法。以是故当知，　　波旬堕负处。」

At that time, the demon king thought, "This bhikṣuṇī knows my mind well." He was distressed, remorseful, ashamed, and returned to his palace.

尔时，魔王而作此念：「此比丘尼善知我心。」忧愁悔恨，惭愧还宫。
