Saṃyuktāgama (2nd)别译杂阿含经

SA-2 359(三五九)

At that time, Venerable Dasabala Kāśyapa was staying in a mud cave in the country of Kuśinagara. There was a hunter named Liṅga not far from the Venerable One, setting up a deer snare. At that time, the Venerable One, out of compassion for the hunter, taught him the Dharma, but he did not understand the Dharma. Venerable Kāśyapa emitted light from the tip of his finger. Although the hunter saw it, he was not disgusted with such evil deeds, but only thought to himself: "Will the deer come into the snare or not?"

尔时,尊者十力迦叶在俱萨罗国拪泥窟中。有一猎师名连迦,去尊者不远,施鹿羂摾。尔时,尊者怜愍猎师,为其说法,彼不解法。尊者迦叶指端出光,猎师虽见,亦不厌离如此恶事,但自思念:「鹿来入羂?为不入羂?」

At that time, the spirit of the mud cave spoke a verse, saying:

尔时,拪泥窟神而说偈言:

The hunter dwells in the deep mountains, with little wisdom, blind and without
eyes. Speaking at the wrong time, he loses his words in vain. Even
if all ten of your fingers emit light at once, you still cannot
cause him to see the Four Noble Truths. Because he is completely without
wisdom, he creates all kinds of unwholesome dharmas. He is not joyful and
sleeps, with a perverted thought of purity. He abides in the Jālinī and
recites the Hārikaśāstra.

「猎师处深山,  少智盲无目,非时又所说,徒] cf.【丽】自失其言。假令汝十指,  一时都出光,终不能令彼,  得见于四谛。彼都无智故,  造作诸非法,不乐及睡眠,  厌离倒净想,安住阇利那,  诵习花迦叶。」
