SĀ 1339

Saṃyuktāgama杂阿含经

SA 1339(一三三九) 迦叶

Thus have I heard:

如是我闻:

At one time the Buddha was staying at the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove in Rājagṛha.

一时,佛住王舍城迦兰陀竹园。

At that time, Venerable Daśabala Kāśyapa was staying in the Rājagṛha Ṛṣi Cave. At that time, there was a hunter named Śikhi who set up a net not far from Daśabala Kāśyapa to catch deer. At that time, Daśabala Kāśyapa compassionately taught the Dharma to that hunter. At that time, that hunter did not understand what was said. At that time, Daśabala Kāśyapa then used his supernatural power to light a fire at the tip of his finger, but he still did not understand.

尔时,尊者十力迦叶住王舍城仙人窟中。时,有猎师名曰尺只,去十力迦叶不远,张网捕鹿。尔时,十力迦叶为彼猎师哀愍说法。时,彼猎师不解所说。时,十力迦叶即以神力,指端火然,彼犹不悟。

At that time, the heavenly spirit dwelling in the Ṛṣi Cave spoke a verse:

尔时,仙人窟中住止天神而说偈言:

The hunter in the deep mountains has little wisdom, is blind and
sightless. Why speak at the wrong time? He has little merit and
no eloquence. What he hears he does not understand. Even in the
light he sees nothing. In the excellent Dharma of goodness, the ignorant
cannot comprehend. Even if he burns his ten fingers, he will still
not see the truth.

「深山中猎师,  少智盲无目,何为非时说,  薄德无辩慧,所闻亦不解,  明中亦无见,于诸善胜法,  愚痴莫能了,正使烧十指,  彼终不见谛。」

At that time, after the heavenly spirit had spoken this verse, Venerable Daśabala Kāśyapa remained silent.

时,彼天神说是偈已,尊者十力迦叶即默然住。
