SA 989（九八九） 帝释
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, the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana was staying on Vulture Peak. In the latter part of the night, he got up and walked back and forth, and saw a light that illuminated the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove. Having seen it, he thought: "Tonight, a powerful ghost or spirit has come to where the World-Honored One is, and that is why there is this light." | 尔时，尊者大目揵连住耆阇崛山，后夜起经行，见有光明遍照迦兰陀竹园。见已，作是念：「今夜或有大力鬼神诣世尊所，故有此光明。」 |
Then the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana went to where the Buddha was in the morning, bowed his head at the Buddha's feet, sat to one side, and said to the Buddha: "World-Honored One! Last night, after the middle of the night, I went out of my room to walk back and forth, and saw a supreme light that illuminated the Kalandaka Bamboo Grove. Having seen it, I thought: 'What powerful ghost or spirit has come to where the World-Honored One is, and that is why there is this light?'" | 时，尊者大目揵连晨朝往诣佛所，稽首佛足，退坐一面，白佛言：「世尊！我于昨暮后夜出房经行，见胜光明普照迦兰陀竹园。见已，作是念：『有何大力鬼神诣世尊所，故有此光明？』」 |
The Buddha told the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana: "Last night, after the middle of the night, Śakra, Lord of the Devas, came to where I was, bowed his head at my feet, and sat to one side." | 佛告尊者大目揵连：「昨暮后夜，释提桓因来诣我所，稽首作礼，退坐一面。」 |
As extensively explained in the sūtras above, he rejoiced and followed suit, paid homage, and departed. | 如上修多罗广说，欢喜随喜，作礼而去。 |
