Saṃyuktāgama (2nd)别译杂阿含经

SA-2 311(三一一)

Thus have I heard:

如是我闻:

Once, the Buddha was at Jetavana Anāthapiṇḍada-ārāma in Śrāvastī. At that time, a god named Tārākṣa came to where the Buddha was. His radiant countenance shone brightly, illuminating the entire Jetavana. He then sat to one side and spoke a verse, saying:

一时,佛在舍卫国祇树给孤独园。时有天子名多罗健陀,来诣佛所,光颜晖赫,明遍祇洹,却坐一面,而说偈言:

How many dharmas are to be eliminated? How many dharmas are to be abandoned?
How many dharmas are to be cultivated? How many dharmas do bhikṣus accomplish? How
many dharmas are to be cultivated in general? How does one cross the swift current?

「断除于几法?  弃舍于几法?增进修几法?  比丘成几法?凡修除几法?  得度于驶流。」

At that time, the World-Honored One replied in verse:

尔时,世尊以偈答曰:

Eliminate the five aggregates of clinging to sense pleasures, abandon the five
hindrances, cultivate the five faculties, accomplish the five limbs of the body
- such a bhikṣu will transcend the ocean of birth and death.

「除五欲受阴,  弃舍于五盖,增进修五根,  成就五分身,如是之比丘,  超渡生死海。」

At that time, the god Indra heard the Buddha's teaching, rejoiced, bowed his head, and returned to his heavenly palace.

尔时,多罗健陀天子闻佛所说,欢喜顶礼,还于天宫。

This is the classical Chinese root text of Saṃyuktāgama (2nd), a parallel to the Pali sutta(s) listed above. Source: CBETA (Taishō edition).
