Summary
s.1On their morning alms round, the Buddha and Maitreya meet Queen Kṣemavatī who is bedecked in all her royal jewelry. When the Buddha asks her about the source of such fine jewelry, referring to it metaphorically as fruit, Queen Kṣemavatī explains that her worldly position is the fruit of the tree of her previous good deeds. The remainder of the sūtra describes how one’s good actions can eventually lead to buddhahood, and it concludes with a prophecy of the queen’s future awakening.
s.1佛陀與彌勒菩薩在清晨乞食時，遇見了裝飾著所有皇家珠寶的差摩婆帝王后。當佛陀問她這些精美珠寶的來源時，用果實作為隱喻來指稱它們，差摩婆帝王后解釋說，她的世俗地位是她過去善行之樹所結的果實。經文的其餘部分描述了一個人的善業如何最終能導向佛果，並以對王后未來覺悟的授記作為結尾。
