The Translation
1.1Homage to all buddhas and bodhisattvas.
Thus did I hear at one time. The Blessed One was dwelling in the Sarasvatī grove in Kauśāmbī with a great assembly of some five hundred monks and numerous bodhisattva great beings. At that time, Queen Anupamā, daughter of Mākandika, was overcome with jealousy and envy toward Queen Śyāmāvatī.
如是我聞，一時世尊住在拘舍彌的薩拉斯瓦蒂林，與五百位比丘和眾多菩薩大士組成的大眾一起安住。當時，摩犍提迦之女無比王后因為嫉妒黑光王后而心生煩惱。
1.2Queen Anupamā, daughter of Mākandika, addressed King Udayana of Vatsa: “Your Majesty, five hundred women, including Queen Śyāmāvatī, have committed dishonorable acts with Gautama the mendicant. I humbly request Your Majesty to act as you see fit with regard to this situation.”
1.2摩犍提迦之女無比王后對婆多迦王說道：「大王，黑光王后及五百名女性已與喬達摩比丘進行了不名譽的行為。我恭敬地懇請大王按照您認為恰當的方式處理此事。」
1.3With these lies, Queen Anupamā, daughter of Mākandika, sowed her discord. Rage, aggression, and wrath toward the Blessed One and the assembly of disciples welled up in King Udayana of Vatsa. Miserable and overcome with a wrathful fury, he drew his bow and shot a razor-sharp arrow at Queen Śyāmāvatī with murderous intent.
1.3無比王后摩犍提迦之女用這些謊言挑撥離間。婆多迦王心中對世尊和弟子僧眾升起了憤怒、侵犯和憤恨。他陷入了悲慘的狀態，被猛烈的怒火所淹沒，拉開了弓，懷著殺害的意圖，向黑光王后射出了一支鋒利如刀的箭。
1.4In that instant, Queen Śyāmāvatī called out, “Homage to the Blessed One, the thus-gone, worthy, perfect Buddha!” She prostrated herself to the Blessed One, praised him, and entered into meditative absorption on loving-kindness. [F.205.a] Through the power of the Buddha, the razor-sharp arrow turned back and burst into flames directly above King Udayana of Vatsa’s head. As it burned and blazed, it became a single flame, sometimes moving about and sometimes standing still. Then, moving toward King Udayana of Vatsa, the arrow remained on his right side without touching his body.
1.4在那一刻，無比王后大聲呼喊：「頂禮世尊、如來、應供、圓滿覺醒者！」她向世尊頂禮，讚頌世尊，進入了慈悲的三昧。藉由佛陀的力量，那枝銳利的箭轉身而回，在婆多迦王的頭頂上方熊熊燃燒。箭在烈火中燃燒，化為一道火焰，有時飄動，有時靜止。隨後，箭向婆多迦王移動，停留在他的右側，但沒有接觸到他的身體。
1.5King Udayana of Vatsa shot two or three more arrows with the same result before Queen Śyāmāvatī said to him, “Great King, in this situation, if you were to prostrate to the Thus-Gone One, you too would find well-being.”
1.5優填王又射出了兩三支箭，結果都是一樣的。無比王后對他說：「大王，在這種情況下，如果你向如來頂禮，你也會得到安樂。」
1.6Full of terror and fear, King Udayana of Vatsa became weak, and his hair stood on end. Falling to the ground, he spoke these verses to Queen Śyāmāvatī:
1.6優填王惶恐驚懼，身體虛弱，毛髮豎立。他跌倒在地，用韻文對無比王后說道：
“Are you a goddess or a gandharvī?「你是天女還是乾闥婆女？
Are you a piśācī or a rākṣasī?你是餓鬼女還是羅剎女？
How is it that I should consider you?我應該如何看待你呢？

I have never heard of nor seen,我從未聽聞過，也未曾見過，

“And yet today, this arrow that I shot「然而今天，我射出的這支箭
Returned back as if counteracted,箭矢返回來，彷彿被抵消了，
And—without any physical harm—而且——沒有任何身體傷害——
It came to rest right in front of me.它停留在我面前。
“Having heeded the words of others,「我聽信了他人的言語，
I desired to bring about your death,我曾想要奪取你的生命，
Yet now I go to you for protection.然而現在我來到你面前尋求庇護。
Please protect me, pitiful being that I am.請保護我這個可憐的人。
“Henceforth I will not act in this manner.「從今以後，我將不再這樣做。
Please be patient with miserable beings,請對悲苦的眾生保持耐心，
Recollect your past love for me, and請回想你過去對我的愛，並且
Delight therein, curbing your wrath.”以此為樂，控制你的憤怒。
Queen Śyāmāvatī responded in verse to King Udayana of Vatsa: [F.205.b]
“I am neither goddess nor gandharvī,「我既不是女神，也不是乾闥婆女，」

1.26Inspired by Queen Śyāmāvatī, King Udayana of Vatsa, surrounded by a great assembly of people and his royal power and wealth, went to meet the Blessed One with great speed and haste. He saw the Blessed One, elegant and beautiful. The Blessed One’s sense faculties and mind were calmed, and he was completely controlled. He had perfected the most sublime tranquility meditations and the most sublime meditative concentrations. He rose above the crowd like a golden sacrificial post resplendent with glory. The Blessed One’s body was brilliant, vibrant, and beautifully adorned with the thirty-two marks of a great being. Surrounded by an assembly of monks, nuns, laymen, laywomen, and bodhisattvas, the Blessed One was venerated by gods, nāgas, yakṣas, gandharvas, asuras, garuḍas, kinnaras, mahoragas, humans, and non-humans. Having seen that, the king approached the Blessed One and bowed at his feet.
1.26受到黑蜜王后的啟發，婆多迦王帶著龐大的人民集會、皇家權勢和財富，以極快的速度前往拜見世尊。他看到世尊容貌優雅美麗，世尊的感官和心念都已調伏，完全控制自在。世尊已圓滿成就最殊勝的止禪和最殊勝的定。他如同金色的祭祀柱一般超越眾人，光芒耀眼奪目。世尊的身體光明燦爛，充滿生機活力，並且莊嚴地具足三十二相。世尊被僧、比丘尼、在家男眾、在家女眾和菩薩的集會所圍繞，受到諸天、龍、夜叉、乾闥婆、阿修羅、迦樓羅、緊那羅、摩睺羅伽、人類和非人眾的尊敬供養。看到這一切後，國王走近世尊，向其足下禮拜。
1.27Addressing the Blessed One, he said, “Blessed One, I have witnessed wonders the likes of which I have never seen before. Will the Blessed One grant me the opportunity to make a request?”
1.27優填王對世尊說：「世尊，我見到了從未見過的奇異景象。世尊是否願意允許我提出請求？」
The Blessed One replied to King Udayana of Vatsa, “Great King, make a request as you wish. Speak!”
世尊回答優填王說：「大王，隨你的意願提出請求吧。說吧！」
1.28King Udayana of Vatsa then said to the Blessed One, “Blessed One because I am attached to my desires and their cause and basis, today I was overcome with wrath and fury by the words of Queen Anupamā, daughter of Mākandika. I was overcome with thoughts of rage and anger toward the Blessed One and his assembly of disciples [F.206.b] and shot a razor-sharp arrow at my wife Śyāmāvatī with murderous intent. When I did, it burst into flames in the sky, and as it burned and blazed, it became a single flame. As if the arrow were counteracted, it returned back to remain on my right side, without touching my body.
1.28婆多迦王對世尊說：「世尊，因為我執著於欲望及其原因和基礎，今天我被無比王后（摩犍提迦之女）的言語所激怒，充滿了憤怒和狂怒。我對世尊及其弟子僧眾產生了憤恨和怒火的念頭，用致命的意圖向我的妻子黑光王后射出一支鋒利的箭。當我射出時，它在空中燃起了火焰，當它燒燃熊熊時，它變成了單一的火焰。彷彿那支箭被抵擋住了，它返回來停留在我的右側，沒有碰觸我的身體。
1.29“Blessed One, I bowed at the feet of my wife Śyāmāvatī, and asked her, ‘Are you a goddess, nāginī, gandharvī, piśācī, rākṣasī, or something else?’ She told me, ‘I am not a goddess, nāginī, gandharvī, piśācī, or rākṣasī. Rather, I am a disciple of the Blessed One, the thus-gone, worthy, completely perfect Buddha. Out of love for you, I have rested my mind in equipoise.’ My wife Śyāmāvatī then sang the praise of the Blessed One in various ways.
1.29世尊，我向妻子黑光的雙腳頂禮，並問她：『妳是天女、龍女、乾闥婆女、餓鬼女、羅剎女，還是其他什麼？』她告訴我：『我不是天女、龍女、乾闥婆女、餓鬼女或羅剎女。相反地，我是世尊、如來、應供、圓滿正覺佛陀的弟子。出於對你的愛，我已經將心安住於等持之中。』我的妻子黑光隨後以各種方式讚頌世尊。
1.30“Then, Blessed One, I had this thought: ‘If a disciple of the Blessed One, the thus-gone, worthy, perfectly awakened Buddha, is so full of compassion, loving-kindness, great superhuman power, and great marvelous strength, and is of such great distinction, then what must the Blessed One, the thus-gone, worthy, perfectly awakened Buddha himself be like?’
1.30"那時，世尊，我產生了這樣的想法：'如果佛陀、如來、值得恭敬者、圓滿覺悟者的弟子具有如此圓滿的悲心、慈悲、偉大的超人力量和奇妙的能力，並具有如此崇高的品德，那麼佛陀、如來、值得恭敬者、圓滿覺悟者本人該是怎樣的呢？'"
1.31“Blessed One, in that way, because I was like a fool—ignorant, unclear, and unwise—I felt rage and hatred toward the Thus-Gone One and the assembly of disciples. For this, I request your forgiveness. In the presence of the assembly of disciples, I confess my errors. [F.207.a] In the hope that you may show me compassion, I confess my errors. I request you, Blessed One, to treat me with kindness. I vow to practice restraint from this day forward.”
1.31「世尊，我就這樣，因為我如同一個愚癡的人——無知、迷茫、沒有智慧——我對如來和弟子僧眾感到憤怒和仇恨。為了這一點，我懇求您的寬恕。在弟子僧眾的面前，我懺悔我的過錯。懷著希望您能對我表示悲心的願望，我懺悔我的過錯。我懇求您，世尊，以慈悲對待我。我發誓從今天開始修習克制。」
1.32The Blessed One said, “Great King, rise and be seated,” and he accepted with kindness King Udayana of Vatsa who had confessed his faults. King Udayana of Vatsa bowed his head at the feet of the Blessed One and sat to one side.
1.32世尊說：「大王，請起身坐下。」世尊以慈悲心接受了已經懺悔過失的婆多迦王。婆多迦王在世尊的腳下頂禮，然後坐在一旁。
1.33King Udayana of Vatsa, sitting to one side, addressed the Blessed One: “Blessed One, because of how cruel, obstinate, and quick to anger I was, I have been driven to negative actions by the words of women. Because of that, Blessed One, I will go to the hell realms. Blessed One, out of compassion for me, I request the Blessed One to describe thoroughly and correctly the faults of women so that, from today onward, I will not, by any means, fall under the sway of women and be driven to negative deeds that will lead me to fall into the hell realms. It would be for the long-term benefit of myself and all sentient beings, so that we may be helped and happy. Please describe thoroughly and correctly the behaviors of women, the characteristics of women, the treachery of women, the deceitfulness of women, the dishonesty of women, the unsteadiness of women, the fickleness of women, the dependencies of women, the words of women, and the deceptiveness of women.”
1.33婆多迦王坐在一旁，對世尊說道：「世尊，由於我性格殘酷、固執、容易發怒，我被女性的言語所驅使而造作了負面的行為。世尊，因為這個原因，我將墮入地獄道。世尊，我懇請世尊以慈悲心對我，詳細正確地描述女性的過失，使我從今以後，無論如何都不會被女性所控制，而造作導致我墮入地獄道的負面行為。這將對我自己和一切眾生有著長遠的利益，使我們得到幫助和快樂。請詳細正確地描述女性的行為、女性的特點、女性的背叛、女性的欺詐、女性的不誠實、女性的不穩定、女性的善變、女性的依賴、女性的言語，以及女性的虛偽。」
1.34The Blessed One asked King Udayana of Vatsa, “Great King, what is your purpose in asking such questions?” [F.207.b]
1.34世尊問優填王：「大王，你提出這樣的問題，目的是什麼？」
1.35King Udayana of Vatsa responded, “Blessed One, I fall under the sway of women because they are vicious, hateful, fierce, and quick to anger. Blessed One, it is women who will lead me to the hell realms. Thus, Blessed One, please heed this request of mine.”
1.35優填王回答說：「世尊，我被女人所控制，是因為她們兇惡、仇恨、凶暴，而且容易發怒。世尊，正是女人會將我引向地獄道。因此，世尊，請您聽從我的請求。」
1.36The Blessed One said to King Udayana of Vatsa, “Great King, you must first understand your own faults and then you will come to understand the faults of women.”
1.36世尊對優填王說：「大王，你要先認識自己的過失，然後你才能夠認識女性的過失。」
1.37King Udayana of Vatsa responded to the Blessed One, “Excellent, Blessed One, excellent! When men possess certain faults, they fall under the sway of women. Please, Blessed One, explain these faults of men to me.”
1.37婆多迦王對世尊說：「善哉，世尊，善哉！當男人具有某些缺點時，他們就會受到女人的控制。世尊，請為我解釋男人的這些缺點。」
1.38The Blessed One responded to King Udayana of Vatsa, “Yes, Great King, listen carefully and pay attention. I will now explain.”
1.38世尊對婆多迦王說：「是的，大王，你要仔細聆聽，專心注意。我現在就為你解說。」
King Udayana of Vatsa said, “Very well, Blessed One,” and he listened as the Blessed One had instructed.
婆多迦王說：「好的，世尊。」他如同世尊的教導一樣恭敬地聽著。
1.39The Blessed One addressed him, saying, “Great King, when men possess four particular faults, they fall under the sway of women. What are the four? They are as follows:
1.39世尊對他說道：「大王啊，當男人具有四種特殊的缺陷時，他們就會陷入被女性控制的境地。這四種缺陷是什麼呢？如下所述：
1.40“Great King, men are attached to the objects of their desire and become reckless in pursuit of them. Intoxicated by sense pleasures, they ignore the morally disciplined, virtuous, [F.208.a] and wise mendicants and brahmins and, instead, only desire to gaze upon women again and again. They do not serve, follow, or venerate the morally disciplined, virtuous, and wise mendicants and brahmins when they see them. By abandoning the morally disciplined, virtuous, and wise mendicants and brahmins, they also abandon their own faith, moral discipline, generosity, and wisdom. Those men are faithless, their discipline is faulty, they lack learning, and they are stingy. They behave like hungry spirits; they are weak-minded, attracted to open sores, and involved with excrement. They delight in the smell of backsides, they enjoy filth, and they have a craving for women. They do not seek peace, they are occupied with their attachments, and they go to places where they should not. They are contemptible, they resemble maggots in excrement, and they welcome defilement. They lust after the objects of their desire, abandoning all shame and modesty. They violate the laws of gods and men, lead despicable lives, are detested by the wise, and keep company with foolish beings. They entertain negative thoughts, keep company with bad friends, are constantly engaging in bad actions, and are inclined toward bad actions.
1.40「大王，男人執著於五欲的對象，在追求它們時變得魯莽。被五欲所迷醉，他們忽視持戒律、有品德、有智慧的比丘和婆羅門，卻只是一次又一次地想要凝視女人。當他們看到持戒律、有品德、有智慧的比丘和婆羅門時，不去侍奉、追隨或尊敬他們。透過放棄持戒律、有品德、有智慧的比丘和婆羅門，他們也放棄了自己的信心、戒律、布施和智慧。這些男人缺乏信心，他們的戒律有缺陷，他們缺乏學問，他們很吝嗇。他們的行為像餓鬼；他們意志薄弱，被吸引於潰爛的創口，並與排泄物有關。他們喜歡肛門的氣味，他們樂於享受污穢，他們對女人有渴望。他們不尋求安寧，他們忙於自己的執著，他們去他們不應該去的地方。他們令人厭惡，他們像排泄物中的蛆蟲一樣，他們歡迎污穢。他們貪戀五欲的對象，放棄了所有的羞恥和謙遜。他們違反神和人的法律，過著卑劣的生活，被智者所厭惡，與愚昧的眾生為伍。他們抱持負面的想法，與壞友伴隨，不斷地從事壞行為，並傾向於壞行為。」
1.41“They become controlled by women and enslaved by them. They fall under the sway of women as they become dedicated to them and live beside them. They are fixated upon orifices, dependent on orifices, and reliant on orifices. They are occupied with saliva, mucus, phlegm, snot, pus, fetid excretions, cerebral secretions, and excrement. They behave like sheep, cows, chickens, dogs, pigs, jackals, and asses. They make their living by harming others. [F.208.b] They do not cherish their parents, nor do they cherish mendicants, brahmins, or others worthy of receiving offerings. They lose their faith in the Buddha, Dharma, and Saṅgha; they lose nirvāṇa. They enter the hells, the animal realm, and the realm of the Lord of Death—they fall to that level. They take up the bodies of lions and garuḍas. They sink to the level of the Hell of Iron-Thorn Trees and the Hell of Burning Coals. They enter the Reviving Hell, Black Line Hell, Crushing Hell, Howling Hell, Great Howling Hell, Hot Hell, Fiercely Hot Hell, and the Hell of Endless Torment.
1.41「他們被女人所控制和奴役。當他們獻身於女人並與她們共同生活時，就陷入了女人的掌控。他們執著於身體的孔竅，依賴於孔竅，並受制於孔竅。他們沉溺於唾液、鼻涕、痰、鼻屎、膿液、惡臭分泌物、腦脊液和糞便。他們的行為如同綿羊、牛、雞、狗、豬、豺狼和驢。他們以傷害他人為生。他們不孝敬父母，也不尊敬比丘、婆羅門以及其他應受供養的人。他們失去了對佛陀、法和僧伽的信心；他們失去了涅槃。他們墮入地獄、畜生道和閻魔界──他們墮落到那樣的境地。他們投生為獅子和迦樓羅的身體。他們沉淪到鐵刺地獄和燒炭地獄。他們進入復活地獄、黑線地獄、壓迫地獄、號叫地獄、大號叫地獄、熱地獄、極熱地獄和無間地獄。」
1.42“Even after hearing about these faults of women, these men feel neither anxiety nor disgust when they reflect on how they laughed, cried, and felt like shouting aloud, and how they danced, sang, and played music while desiring women and keeping company with them.
1.42「大王，即使聽聞了這些女人的過患，這些男人在思念他們如何因為渴望女人、與女人為伴而笑、哭、想大聲喊叫，以及跳舞、唱歌、演奏音樂時，卻絲毫不感到焦慮和厭離。
1.43“Great King, such is the conduct of foolish beings. Beings with these behaviors will be reborn in the lower realms. Great King, attachment to sense pleasures is the first fault of men whereby they fall under the influence of women and are reborn in the lower realms.”
1.43「大王，這就是愚癡眾生的行為。具有這些行為的眾生將會投生到惡趣。大王，對五欲的執著是男人的第一個過失，他們因此而受女性的影響，並投生到惡趣。」
The Blessed One then spoke the following verses:
“Foul and filthy, objects of desire ought to be despised.「骯髒污穢，五欲之物應當被厭棄。
Dissatisfying, frightful, and impermanent, they cause suffering.不滿足、恐怖且無常，它們帶來苦難。
Pointlessly, these inferior things lead to one’s demise.這些低劣的事物毫無意義地導向人的滅亡。
Thus, who among the wise would indulge their desirous cravings?因此，聰慧的人當中，有誰會縱容自己對五欲的貪欲呢？
“Sense pleasures are utterly loathsome,「五欲完全令人厭惡，
Like the stench of a cesspit brimming with excrement,就像充滿糞便的化糞池所散發出來的惡臭一樣，
A dwelling filled with rotten, overpowering odors,一個充滿腐臭、難以忍受的氣味的居所，
Or the loathsome charnel grounds of the dead.或者是令人厭惡的死屍埋葬地。
“Just as flies, upon seeing a wound, swarm to it,「就如同蒼蠅見到傷口就會聚集過去一樣，
And pigs, after seeing excrement, run to it,豬隻看到糞便後，就會跑向它，
And dogs run to the butcher for meat, [F.209.a]狗也會跑到屠夫那裡去尋求肉類，
So, too, do the unwise delight in women.同樣地，不智慧的人也樂於沉溺於女色。
“Infamous and shameful, they degrade positive qualities;「這些東西聲名狼藉且令人羞愧，它們會減損善的品質；
Because of them, one’s pure discipline declines,因為它們，一個人的清淨戒律就會衰退，
And the higher realms are lost as one falls into the hells.善趣會失去，墮入地獄中。
Who among the wise would indulge their desirous cravings?聰慧的人中，誰會沉溺於貪欲的渴望呢？
“Just as the body deteriorates and delusions arise「就如同身體衰退，迷惑就會生起
When one consumes halāhala poison,當一個人服用毗沙毒藥時，
In the same way sense pleasures cause foolish beings同樣地，五欲對愚癡的眾生
Not to see physical forms, like one’s own body, as poison.不認識到身體等物質形態如毒藥一般。
“In the same way that a skilled magician「就如同一位技藝高超的魔術師
Delights hundreds with conjured illusions,以幻術迷惑眾生百般歡樂，
Foolish beings, who seek pleasure for themselves,愚癡的眾生，為了追求自己的快樂，
Fall to the lower realms because of their delight in sense pleasures.因為貪著五欲而墮入惡趣。
“Using feasts of food and drink,「用盛宴的食物和飲料，
Accompanied by song, dance, and music,伴隨著歌唱、舞蹈和音樂，
To take a bride from a good family從好家族娶妻
Is the accrual of pain, the accumulation of suffering.是痛苦的積累，是苦難的堆積。
“Craving for the enjoyment of sense pleasures is pain,「對五欲的享受的渴求就是痛苦，
Yet people praise these filthy things, which cause injury and ignorance.然而人們卻讚美這些骯髒的東西，這些東西會造成傷害和無明。
By praising and indulging in such lowly desires,通過讚美和沉溺於這樣的卑劣欲望，
Inferior people will fall to the lower realms.劣質的人會墮入惡趣。
“Those who desire for such pain praise these objects「那些渴望這樣的痛苦的人稱讚這些對象
And delight in such harmful desires.並且喜樂於這樣的有害欲望。
Pointlessly forsaking their lives, these foolish beings無意義地放棄生命，這些愚癡的眾生
Will fall down into the great and unbearable abyss.將陷入廣大而無法承受的深淵。
“These people who are dominated by pride and ignorance「這些被傲慢和愚癡所支配的人們
Are like birds unable to see the far shores of the ocean;就像那些看不見海洋遠岸的鳥兒一樣；
For so long as they are consumed with the five precious metals,只要他們被五種貴金屬所迷惑，
These foolish beings will wander and burn.這些愚癡的眾生將會流轉輪迴，飽受煎熬。
“These foolish beings, utterly intoxicated and confused,「這些愚癡的眾生，完全被迷醉和困惑所蒙蔽，
Mistake mere glass for an exquisite vase;將玻璃誤認為精美的花瓶。
Ignorant as to the path, they will remain forever here,對於這條道路一無所知，他們將永遠停留在這裡，
Where they claim, ‘It is perfect,’ due to their desires.他們聲稱「這是完美的」，因為他們被慾望所驅使。
“Because they do not know karma in all its diversity,「因為他們不了解業在各種情況下的運作，
They do not believe in the downfall of all beings.他們不相信一切眾生的墮落。
They do not truly honor their fathers and mothers [F.209.b]他們並不真正尊敬自己的父親和母親
Or their sons and daughters, and, instead, bring them pain.或者他們的兒子和女兒，反而給他們帶來痛苦。
“Constantly chattering about intimacy with women「經常喋喋不休地談論與女性的親密關係
And fully preoccupied with such behavior,完全沉溺於這樣的行為當中，
They amass negative deeds in a net of delusion他們在迷惑的網中積累負面的行為
And pave the way to the lower realms.並為墮入惡趣鋪設了道路。
“Perceiving their passion as bliss,「將他們的貪欲看作是快樂，
These people utterly abandon both father and mother.這些人完全拋棄了父親和母親。
They fail to make offerings those who are worthy他們未能向值得供養的人做出供養。
And indulge in sense pleasures that ought to be deplored.沉溺於應當譴責的五欲之中。
“Such people seek their own torment here and there.「這樣的人到處尋求自己的痛苦。
The flow of their thoughts is certain to cause destruction.他們的思想流向必然會導致毀滅。
Those afflicted people search for praise and delight therein.那些受苦的人尋求讚美，並為此感到欣喜。
Such ignoble people are not of the Dharma, but wholly of the world.這些卑劣的人不是屬於法的，而是完全屬於世間的。
“On that basis, they are bound to experience「以此為基礎，他們必然會經歷
Torment from weapons and iron shackles,武器和鐵鍊的折磨，
From bonds, battles, strife, and certain death,從束縛、戰鬥、爭鬥和必死無疑中，
After they die, they will go to the fearsome Hell of Endless Torment.他們死後將墮入可怕的無間地獄。

She wipes away your urine and excrement and nurses you on her lap. She helps you to grow and nurtures you. Parents show you the world and teach you all about it. They are concerned about you and wish for your well-being. They desire your benefit and wish you well. They desire your success and happiness. They desire to help you out in the world. As such they are worthy of generosity.
1.66「再者，大王，父母經歷許多辛苦。你的母親懷胎九到十個月，承受許多痛苦來撫養你。她擦去你的尿液和糞便，把你抱在膝上哺乳。她幫助你成長並養育你。父母向你展示世界，教導你關於世界的一切。他們關心你，希望你安好。他們期望你受益並祝你幸福。他們期望你成功和快樂。他們期望幫助你在世上立足。因此，他們值得你的布施。」
1.67“Out of desire to help their son and for him to be happy, they use the wealth they have saved to find him a bride from a different family. The son then becomes attached and intoxicated; he lusts after her to the point of fainting. He becomes fixated on her and remains infatuated. Attached to and intoxicated by this girl from a different family, he neglects his parents who are worthy of generosity and who have grown old, frail, weak, and blind. He kicks them out of their own home, banishing them without resources or wealth.
1.67「父母想幫助兒子、希望他幸福，就用他們積攢的財富為他娶了別人家的女兒作媳婦。兒子隨之變得執著迷戀，甚至為她著迷到昏迷的程度。他被她迷住了，一直沉溺其中。執著於這個別人家的女兒，沉迷其中，他卻忽視了那些值得布施、已經年邁、衰弱、虛弱、眼盲的父母。他把父母趕出自己的家，將他們放逐到一無所有、貧困潦倒的地步。」
1.68“Great King, one should constantly, at all times, and with genuine happiness, honor one’s kind and venerable parents. One should revere, venerate, and worship them. And yet, men kick their parents out of their own homes, banishing them, as they give their respect and honor to the girl taken from another family, presenting her food, drink, and clothing. They cherish, esteem, worship, and respect her with genuine happiness, yet not their parents. Just look at these heartless and inconsiderate people with their wicked minds!
1.68「大王，人應當時時刻刻、始終如一地以真誠的歡喜心恭敬孝順自己仁慈尊貴的父母。應當尊敬、禮拜、供養他們。然而有些人卻將自己的父母趕出家門，流放他們，卻把尊敬和榮耀獻給從別人家娶來的女人，供給她食物、飲料和衣服。他們珍愛、推崇、禮拜、尊敬她，並以真誠的歡喜心待她，卻對父母如此冷漠。看看這些無情、不體貼、心懷邪惡的人啊！」
1.69“Great King, look at these people who forsake the Dharma that leads to the higher realms [F.210.b] as they adopt the way of life that leads to the lower realms. Great King, indulging in objects of one’s desire and falling under the sway of women, such men neglect their parents and proceed to the lower realms. This is the second fault of men.”
1.69「大王啊，你看這些人拋棄了導向善趣的法，而去採取導向惡趣的生活方式。大王啊，沉溺於欲望的對象，被女人所迷惑的這些男人，忽視了自己的父母，因而墮入惡趣。這是男人的第二個過失。」

Deluded by desire and aversion, they are despised by the wise, consumed by anger, and perform nonvirtuous deeds. They are forsaken by the buddhas and the bodhisattvas. They are intoxicated by the pride of wealth. They are miserly, delight in harming others, and despise cultivating the Dharma.
1.78「大王，所謂下劣之人，就是那些做下劣人行為、頑固執著邪見的人。這樣的人對於善惡感到困惑，不懂得如何為自己的利益而行動。因為他們缺乏安全感，所以被許多眾生所厭惡，只喜歡愚癡者的讚美。他們被欲望和厭惡所迷惑，被智慧者所輕視，被瞋恚所摧毀，從而造作非善的行為。他們被佛陀和菩薩所拋棄。他們被財富的傲慢所迷醉，為人吝嗇，樂於傷害他人，並且輕視修習法。」

Great King, they may be scribes, astrologers, accountants, palmists, armorers, royal servants, farmers, merchants, or herdsmen. From these occupations and professions, they make their livelihood. For the sake of wealth, they travel where there are no roads or where the roads are poor; they cross canyons, rivers, war zones, and oceans; they endure the icy winds of winter and the heat of summer; they suffer from hunger and thirst, and, all the while they delight in such journeys. They endure such suffering as this for the sake of their own livelihood, yet they will not donate any of the wealth they earn to mendicants, brahmins, the destitute, the poor, or beggars, because they are under the sway of women, controlled by them, [F.212.a] enthralled by them, and enslaved by them. Because of this same love for women, these men are unable to give gifts even to support their women or to practice moral discipline. Infatuated by their women, they will endure their chatter, and even put up with their abuse, evil looks, and reprimands. When abused by women, those men will voluntarily accept it and still regard those same women without ill will. Those men fall under the sway of women who are the objects of their desire.

1.88“Great King, this is the fourth fault of men who crave women, consider filth to be the highest bliss, delight in foulness, and act without awareness.
