Thus have I heard: | 如是我闻： |
Once, the Buddha was at Jetavana Anāthapiṇḍada-ārāma in Śrāvastī. At that time, a god of majestic appearance and extraordinary complexion came to where the Buddha was. After paying homage, he sat to one side and spoke a verse, saying: | 一时佛在] cf.【丽】舍卫国祇树给孤独园。时有一天，威容光赫，颜色殊常，来诣佛所，既顶礼已，退坐一面，而说偈言： |
Not by mere words can one be called a śramaṇa. This
is truly the path to be pursued, accomplishing the firm footprints
If there are those who are courageous and able to deeply
cultivate meditation, attaining liberation, destroying the bonds of Māra. Whether one
acts or does not act, both are said to be true
Deceit and falsehood are without sincerity, discarded by the wise. One's
own body is truly without attainment, falsely praising oneself to be
arrogant. Deceitful and false speech is the great thief in the world.
| 「不以言说故， 得名为沙门，此实趣向道， 成就坚履迹。若有勇健者， 能深修禅定，获得于解脱， 坏于魔结缚。作及不作业， 二俱称实说，诈伪无诚信， 智者所弃捐。己身实无得， 虚赞以自憍，诈伪虚诳说， 世间之大贼。」
|
At that time, the World-Honored One replied in verse: | 尔时，世尊以偈答曰： |
Not revealing one's own merits, not knowing the mental activities of others
knowing and then entering nirvāṇa, able to liberate the world from attachment.
| 「不显己功德， 不知他心行，知已复涅槃， 能度世间爱。」
|
At that time, this god, having heard the Buddha's verse, said to the Buddha, "I truly have faults now. I only wish you would allow me to sincerely repent." At that time, the Buddha remained silent. The god again spoke a verse: | 尔时，此天闻佛偈已，而白佛言：「我于今者，实有罪过，唯愿听我诚心忏悔。」时佛默然。天复说偈言： |
I now confess my faults, but you do not accept my repentance. Having
an evil and unwholesome mind, I do not let go of resentment and dislike.
| 「我今说罪悔， 汝不受我悔，怀恶心不善， 不舍于怨嫌。」
|
The World-Honored One again spoke a verse in reply to the god: | 世尊以偈复答天曰： |
Confessing one's faults and repenting, but not truly extinguishing them
in the mind, how can one remove faults and attain goodness?
| 「说罪言忏悔， 内心实不灭，云何除嫌隟？ 云何而得善？」
|
The god again spoke a verse, asking again: | 天又说偈重问曰： |
Who among people is without faults? Who among people is
without mistakes? Who is free from ignorance? Who is always mindful?
| 「人谁无愆过？ 人谁无误失？何谁离愚痴？ 何谁常具念？」
|
At that time, the World-Honored One replied in verse: | 尔时，世尊以偈答曰： |
The Tathāgata, the Bhagavān, with right knowledge has attained liberation
He has no faults, nor does he make mistakes. He
has already transcended ignorance and is able to be mindful.
| 「如来婆伽婆， 正智得解脱，彼无诸愆过， 亦复无得失，彼已离愚痴， 能具于正念。」
|
The gods also praised in verse: | 天复以偈赞言： |
I have already seen a brāhman enter nirvāṇa in the past. He has
long abandoned aversion and fear, and is able to liberate the world from attachment.
| 「我昔已曾见， 婆罗门涅槃，久弃舍嫌怖， 能度世间爱。」
|
At that time, after this god had spoken this verse, he departed joyfully. | 尔时，此天说此偈已，欢喜而去。 |
