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 World-Honored One told the bhikṣus...as above. The difference is: "The power of the king's self-mastery is the king's manifestation of the power of self-mastery. The power of the minister in charge of affairs is the minister's manifestation of the power of handling affairs. The power of a resentful woman is the nature of a woman's manifestation of resentment. The power of a crying infant is the nature of an infant's manifestation of crying. The power of a foolish person's slander is the nature of a foolish person's touching things and slandering. The power of careful and wise discernment is the constant manifestation of careful and wise discernment by a wise person. The power of patience and renunciation is the constant manifestation of patience and renunciation by a renunciant. The power of counting and learning much is the constant manifestation of counting and thinking by a person who has learned much." | 尔时，世尊告诸比丘……如上说。差别者：「谓自在王力者，王者现自在威力。断事大臣力者，大臣现断事之力。结恨女人力者，女人之法现结恨力。啼泣婴儿力者，婴儿之法现啼泣力。毁呰愚人力者，愚人之法触事毁呰。审谛黠慧力者，智慧之人常现审谛。忍辱出家力者，出家之人常现忍辱。计数多闻力者，多闻之人常现思惟计数。」 |
After the Buddha had spoken this sūtra, the bhikṣus heard what the Buddha had said and joyfully practiced it. | 佛说此经已，诸比丘闻佛所说，欢喜奉行。 |
