SA 1206（一二〇六）优婆折罗

Parallel to: SN 5.7 / SĀ² 2.222

Thus have I heard:	如是我闻：
At one time the Buddha was staying at Anāthapiṇḍada’s Park in the Jeta Grove near Śrāvastī.	一时，佛住舍卫国祇树给孤独园。
At that time, the nun Upacālā was also staying in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍada’s Park in Śrāvastī. In the morning, she put on her robes, took her bowl, and entered Śrāvastī to beg for food. After eating, she returned to the monastery, put away her robes and bowl, washed her feet, took her sitting mat, put it on her shoulder, entered the Ānanda Grove, sat under a tree, and entered the right concentration.	时，优波遮罗比丘尼亦住舍卫国王园比丘尼众中，晨朝著衣持钵，入舍卫城乞食。食已，还精舍，举衣钵，洗足毕，持尼师坛，著肩上，入安陀林，坐一树下，入昼正受。
At that time, Māra the Evil One thought, “Now the Śramaṇa Gautama is staying at Anāthapiṇḍada’s Park in the Jeta Grove near Śrāvastī. The nun Upacālā is also staying in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍada’s Park in Śrāvastī. In the morning, she put on her robes, took her bowl, and entered Śrāvastī to beg for food. After eating, she returned to the monastery, put away her robes and bowl, washed her feet, took her sitting mat, put it on her shoulder, entered the Ānanda Grove, sat under a tree, and entered the right concentration. I shall now go and create obstacles for her.” He then transformed himself into a young man of handsome appearance and went to the nun Upacālā, speaking a verse:	时，魔波旬作是念：「今沙门瞿昙住舍卫国祇树给孤独园。优波遮罗比丘尼亦住舍卫国王园比丘尼众中，晨朝著衣持钵，入舍卫城乞食，食已，还精舍，举衣钵，洗足毕，持尼师坛，著肩上，入安陀林，坐一树下，入昼正受。我今当往，为作留难。」即化作年少，容貌端正，至优波遮罗比丘尼所而说偈言：
In the Heaven of the Thirty-three, Yama, Tuṣita, Nirmāṇarati and Paranirmitavaśavartin, they make vows to be reborn there.	「三十三天上，　　炎魔兜率陀，化乐他自在，　　发愿得往生。」
The nun Upacālā thought, "Who is this person trying to frighten me? Is it a human or a non-human? Is it a cunning person?" She realized, "It must be the evil Māra trying to create disturbances." She spoke a verse:	优波遮罗比丘尼作是念：「此何等人？欲恐怖我？为人？为非人？为是奸狡人？」自思觉悟：「必是恶魔欲作娆乱。」而说偈言：
In the Heaven of the Thirty-three, Yama, Tuṣita, Nirmāṇarati and Paranirmitavaśavartin, these heavens are not free from conditioned activities, thus they follow Māra's control. All worlds are aggregates of various activities. All worlds are characterized by movement and change. All worlds are constantly burning with the fire of suffering. All worlds are filled with smoke and dust. The immovable and unshakable do not associate with ordinary beings. They do not follow the path of Māra, but find joy in this place free from all suffering and darkness. They realize quiescence and abide in the exhaustion of defilements. Having awakened you, evil Māra, will then be ground to dust and disappear.	「三十三天上，　　炎魔兜率陀，化乐他自在，　　斯等诸天上。不离有为行，　　故随魔自在，一切诸世间，　　悉是众行聚。一切诸世间，　　悉皆动摇法，一切诸世间，　　苦火常炽然。一切诸世间，　　悉皆烟尘起，不动亦不摇，　　不习近凡夫。不随于魔趣，　　于是处娱乐，离一切爱苦，　　舍一切暗冥。寂灭以作证，　　安住诸漏尽，已觉汝恶魔，　　则自磨灭去。」
At that time, Māra the Evil One thought, "The nun Upacālā already knows my mind." Feeling distressed, he disappeared.	时，魔波旬作是念：「优波遮罗比丘尼已知我心。」内怀忧戚] cf.【丽】，即没不现。
