長部19經/大總管經(大品[第二])(莊春江譯)[DA.3]
被我這麼聽聞：
有一次，
世尊住在王舍城
耆闍崛山。
那時，在夜已深時，容色絕佳的
乾達婆之子五髻使整個王舍城耆闍崛山發光後，去見世尊。抵達後，向世尊
問訊後，在一旁站立。在一旁站立的乾達婆之子五髻對世尊說這個：「
大德！凡被我在三十三天面前聽聞、領受，我告訴世尊那個。」世尊說：「五髻！請你訴我。」(293)
天神會堂
「大德！在較早的幾天前，在十五
那個布薩自恣日的滿月夜晚，幾乎全部三十三天天神在善法堂集合共坐，大天眾在周邊坐下，四方四大王坐下：在東方處諸天置於前面後持國大王面向西坐下、在南方處諸天置於前面後增長大王面向北坐下、在西方處諸天置於前面後廣目大王面向東坐下、在北方處諸天置於前面後毘沙門大王面向南坐下。大德！當幾乎全部三十三天天神在善法堂集合共坐，大天眾在周邊坐下，四方四大王坐下，在座位上，這是他們的，然後，後面是我們的座位。
大德！凡那些在世尊處行
梵行後，最近往生三十三天身的天神們，他們以容色連同名聲比其他天神們更輝耀。因為那樣，確實，三十三天天神們成為悅意的、喜悅的、生起
喜與喜悅的：「使天族充滿，阿修羅族被減損。」(294)
大德！那時，
天帝釋知道三十三天天神們的淨信後，以這些
偈頌隨喜：
『
先生！天神們喜悅：三十三天的與帝釋一起的，
禮敬著如來，以及法的善法性。
看著新天神們：有美貌的、有名聲的，
在
善逝處行梵行後，來到這裡者。
他們以容色名聲壽命，比其他天神更輝耀，
廣慧的弟子們，這裡來到殊勝。
看見這件事後歡喜：三十三天的與帝釋一起的，
禮敬著如來，以及法的善法性。』
大德！因為那樣，確實，三十三天天神們成為更悅意的、喜悅的、生起喜與喜悅的：「使天族充滿，阿修羅族被減損。」(295)
八種如實稱讚
大德！那時，天帝釋知道三十三天天神們的淨信後，召喚三十三天天神們：『
親愛的先生們！你們會想要聽對那位世尊的八種如實稱讚嗎？』『親愛的先生！我們想要聽對那位世尊的八種如實稱讚。』大德！那時，天帝釋對三十三天天神們陳述對世尊的八種如實的稱讚：『
尊師們！三十三天天神們怎麼想它：那位世尊是多麼為了眾人的利益，為了眾人的安樂，為了世間的憐愍，為了天-人們的需要、利益、安樂的行者。這樣為了眾人的利益，為了眾人的安樂，為了世間的憐愍，為了天-人們的需要、利益、安樂的行者，具備這部分的
大師，在過去我們既沒看見，而現在除了那位世尊外也沒。
又，被那位世尊善說的法是直接可見的、即時的、請你來看的、能引導的、應該被智者各自經驗的。這樣能引導的法的教導者，具備這部分的大師，在過去我們既沒看見，而現在除了那位世尊外也沒。
又，「這是善的。」被那位世尊善告知；「這是不善的。」被善告知；「這是有罪過的、這是無罪過的，這是應該被實行的、這是不應該被實行的，這是下劣的、這是勝妙的，這是
黑白有對比的。」被善告知。這樣善的不善的、有罪過的無罪過的、應該被實行的不應該被實行的、下劣的勝妙的、黑白有對比的法的告知者，具備這部分的大師，在過去我們既沒看見，而現在除了那位世尊外也沒。
又，導向涅槃道跡被那位世尊對弟子們善告知，涅槃與道跡會合。猶如恒河河水與耶牟那河河水會合、集合。同樣的，導向涅槃道跡被那位世尊對弟子們善告知，涅槃與道跡會合。這樣導向涅槃道跡的告知者，具備這部分的大師，在過去我們既沒看見，而現在除了那位世尊外也沒。
又，確實，
剎帝利們住於愛慕的形色之所及，那位世尊的利得已完成，名聲已完成，但那位世尊離憍慢地吃食物。這樣離憍慢吃食物者，具備這部分的大師，在過去我們既沒看見，而現在除了那位世尊外也沒。
又，那位世尊得到的同伴：對
有學的行者們，同樣地對諸漏已滅盡者已完成者們，世尊不排除他們後，住於樂於單獨從事者。這樣樂於單獨從事者，具備這部分的大師，在過去我們既沒看見，而現在除了那位世尊外也沒。
又，那位世尊是行如其語者(如說者那樣行為者)；語如其行者，像這樣，行如其語；語如其行者。這樣
法、隨法行者，具備這部分的大師，在過去我們既沒看見，而現在除了那位世尊外也沒。
又，那位世尊是度脫懷疑者、離疑惑者、最初梵行意志完結意向者。這樣度脫懷疑者、離疑惑者、最初梵行意志完結意向者，具備這部分的大師，在過去我們既沒看見，而現在除了那位世尊外也沒。』(296)
大德！天帝釋對三十三天天神們陳述這些對世尊的八種如實的稱讚。大德！聽聞對世尊的八種如實稱讚後，因為那樣，確實，三十三天天神們成為更悅意的、喜悅的、生起喜與喜悅的。大德！在那裡，一些天神這麼說：『啊！親愛的先生！願四位
遍正覺者在世間出現(生起)，以及教導法，就如世尊，那是為了眾人的利益，為了眾人的安樂，為了世間的憐愍，為了天-人們的需要、利益、安樂。』一些天神這麼說：『親愛的先生！擱置四位遍正覺者，啊！親愛的先生！願三位遍正覺者在世間出現，以及教導法，就如世尊，那是為了眾人的利益，為了眾人的安樂，為了世間的憐愍，為了天-人們的需要、利益、安樂。』一些天神這麼說：『親愛的先生！擱置三位遍正覺者，啊！親愛的先生！願有二位遍正覺者在世間出現，以及教導法，就如世尊，那是為了眾人的利益，為了眾人的安樂，為了世間的憐愍，為了天-人們的需要、利益、安樂。』(297)
大德！在這麼說時，天帝釋對三十三天天神們說這個：『親愛的先生！
這是無可能性、無機會的：凡二位
阿羅漢、遍正覺者同時出現
在一個世間界中，這不存在可能性。親愛的先生！願那位世尊無病地、少病苦地、長時間地住留(住立)，那是為了眾人的利益，為了眾人的安樂，為了世間的憐愍，為了天-人們的需要、利益、安樂。』大德！那時，凡以事情天神們在善法堂集合共坐，思慮那個事情後，商議那個事情後，四大王在那個事情上有被說的言語，四大王在那個事情上也有被訓誨的言語，一一站立在自己的座位處沒離開：
『那些王有被說的言說，接受教誡後，
明淨意地寂靜地，站立在自己的座位處。』(298)
大德！那時，顯赫的光明被從北方生起，光出現：超過諸天眾的天威後。大德！那時，天帝釋召喚三十三天天神們：『親愛的先生！如是諸相被看見：顯赫的光明生起，光出現，梵天將出現，因為這是梵天出現的前相，即：光明生起，光出現。』
『如是諸相被看見，梵天將出現，
因為這是梵天的相，廣大的大光。』(299)
常童子的談論
大德！那時，三十三天天神們如是在自己的座位坐下：『讓我們知道這個光：凡將有結果，就證明(作證)後，我們將走到那個。』四大王也如是在自己的座位坐下：『讓我們知道這個光：凡將有結果，就證明後，我們將走到那個。』聽聞這個後，三十三天天神們達到一致(一境)：『讓我們知道這個光：凡將有結果，就證明後，我們將走到那個。』
大德！當
梵王常童子對三十三天天神們出現時，化作粗大的個體後出現。大德！又，凡梵天的自然容色，那個不能被到達到三十三天天神們的視野(眼路)。大德！當梵王常童子對三十三天天神們出現時，他以形色連同名聲比其他天神更輝耀。大德！猶如黃金的身體比人的身體更輝耀。同樣的，大德！當梵王常童子對三十三天天神們出現時，他以形色連同名聲比其他天神更輝耀。大德！當梵王常童子對三十三天天神們出現時，在那群天神中沒有任何天神問訊，或起立迎接，或以座位邀請，全部都保持沈默、
合掌地
盤腿而坐：『現在，凡天神們的床座他如果想要，梵王常童子將在那位天神的床座上坐下。』大德！又，梵王常童子在凡天神的床座上坐下，那位天神得到廣大信受的獲得；那位天神得到廣大喜悅的獲得。大德！猶如剛剛被王位灌頂的
剎帝利灌頂王，他得到廣大信受的獲得；他得到廣大喜悅的獲得。同樣的，大德！梵王常童子在凡天神的床座上坐下，那位天神得到廣大信受的獲得；那位天神得到廣大喜悅的獲得。大德！那時，隱沒的梵王常童子知道三十三天天神們的歡喜後，以這些
偈頌隨喜：
『先生！天神們喜悅：三十三天的與帝釋一起的，
禮敬著如來，以及法的善法性。
看著新天神們：有美貌的、有名聲的，
在善逝處行梵行後，來到這裡者。
他們以容色名聲壽命，比其他天神更輝耀，
廣慧的弟子們，這裡來到殊勝。
看見這件事後歡喜：三十三天的與帝釋一起的，
禮敬著如來，以及法的善法性。』(300)
大德！梵王常童子說這件事。大德！當梵王常童子說這件事時，聲音具備八支：明瞭的、能被識知的、美妙的、和雅的、簡潔的、不亂的、深沈的、宏亮的。大德！又，梵王常童子以聲音使群眾了知，且祂的聲音不出現在群眾的外部。大德！又，這樣，凡其聲音具備八支者，那被稱為『梵音』。那時，三十三天天神們對梵王常童子說這個：『
好！大梵天！我們就考量這個後喜悅，有對那位世尊的八種如實稱讚被天帝釋說，以及我們考量那些後喜悅。』(301)
八種如實稱讚
大德！那時，梵王常童子對天帝釋說這個：『好！天帝！我們也願聽聞對那位世尊的八種如實稱讚。』『是的，大梵天！』大德！天帝釋對梵王常童子陳述世尊的八種如實稱讚：
『尊師！大梵天怎麼想它：那位世尊是多麼為了眾人的利益，為了眾人的安樂，為了世間的憐愍，為了天-人們的需要、利益、安樂的行者。這樣為了眾人的利益，為了眾人的安樂，為了世間的憐愍，為了天-人們的需要、利益、安樂的行者，具備這部分的大師，在過去我們既沒看見，而現在除了那位世尊外也沒。
又，被那位世尊善說的法是直接可見的、即時的、請你來看的、能引導的、應該被智者各自經驗的。這樣能引導的法的教導者，具備這部分的大師，在過去我們既沒看見，而現在除了那位世尊外也沒。
又，「這是善的。」被那位世尊善告知；「這是不善的。」被善告知；「這是有罪過的、這是無罪過的，這是應該被實行的、這是不應該被實行的，這是下劣的、這是勝妙的，這是黑白有對比的。」被善告知。這樣善的不善的、有罪過的無罪過的、應該被實行的不應該被實行的、下劣的勝妙的、黑白有對比的法的告知者，具備這部分的大師，在過去我們既沒看見，而現在除了那位世尊外也沒。
又，導向涅槃道跡被那位世尊對弟子們善告知，涅槃與道跡會合。猶如恒河河水與耶牟那河河水會合、集合。同樣的，導向涅槃道跡被那位世尊對弟子們善告知，涅槃與道跡會合。這樣導向涅槃道跡的告知者，具備這部分的大師，在過去我們既沒看見，而現在除了那位世尊外也沒。
又，確實，剎帝利們住於愛慕的形色之所及，那位世尊的利得已完成，名聲已完成，但那位世尊離憍慢地吃食物。這樣離憍慢吃食物者，具備這部分的大師，在過去我們既沒看見，而現在除了那位世尊外也沒。
又，那位世尊得到的同伴：對有學的行者們，同樣地對諸漏已滅盡者已完成者們，世尊不排除他們後，住於樂於單獨從事者。這樣樂於單獨從事者，具備這部分的大師，在過去我們既沒看見，而現在除了那位世尊外也沒。
又，那位世尊是行如其語；語如其行者，像這樣，行如其語；語如其行者。這樣法、隨法行者，具備這部分的大師，在過去我們既沒看見，而現在除了那位世尊外也沒。
又，那位世尊是度脫懷疑者、離疑惑者、最初梵行意志完結意向者。這樣度脫懷疑者、離疑惑者、最初梵行意志完結意向者，具備這部分的大師，在過去我們既沒看見，而現在除了那位世尊外也沒。』(302)
大德！天帝釋對梵王常童子陳述這些世尊的八種如實稱讚。大德！梵王常童子聽聞世尊的八種如實稱讚後，因為那樣，確實，成為悅意的、歡悅的、生起喜與喜悅的。大德！那時，梵王常童子化作粗大的個體後，成為五髻童子形色後，對三十三天天神們顯現。他上升到虛空後，在虛空空間中
盤腿而坐。大德！猶如有力氣的男子能在被善鋪設的床座上或在平整的土地上盤腿而坐。同樣的，大德！梵王常童子上升到虛空、在虛空空間中盤腿而坐後，召喚三十三天天神們：(303)
總管婆羅門的事
『先生們！三十三天天神們怎麼想它：那位世尊有多麼長時間就是大智慧者？先生！從前，有名叫四方主的國王，四方主國王的輔相是名叫總管的
婆羅門，四方主國王的兒子是名叫雷奴的王子，總管婆羅門的兒子是名叫護光的
學生婆羅門。像這樣，國王兒子雷奴與護光學生婆羅門以及其他六位剎帝利，像這樣這八位是同伴。先生！那時，經過諸日夜，總管婆羅門命終。在總管婆羅門命終時，四方主國王悲泣：「先生！凡在我們完全委託一切應該被作的事於總管婆羅門後，我們賦有、擁有
五種欲自娛時，那時，我們的總管婆羅門已命終。」先生！在這麼說時，國王兒子雷奴對四方主國王說這個：「陛下！關於總管婆羅門已命終，你不要極強烈地悲泣。陛下！總管婆羅門有兒子名叫護光的學生婆羅門，是比父親更賢智者，同時也比父親更足以看見利益者，凡他的父親教誡諸事，那些也都被護光學生婆羅門教誡。」「王子！這樣？」「是的！陛下！」(304)
大總管的事
先生！那時，四方主國王召喚某位男子：「喂！男子！來！請你去見名叫護光的學生婆羅門，抵達後，請你對護光學生婆羅門說這個：『願護光尊師幸福！四方主國王召喚護光學生婆羅門尊師，四方主國王是想要見護光學生婆羅門尊師者。』」「是的，陛下！」先生！那位男子回答四方主國王後，去見護光學生婆羅門。抵達後，對護光學生婆羅門說這個：「願護光尊師幸福！四方主國王召喚護光學生婆羅門尊師，四方主國王是想要見護光學生婆羅門尊師者。」「是的，先生！」先生！護光學生婆羅門回答那位男子後，去見四方主國王。抵達後，與四方主國王一起互相問候。交換應該被互相問候的友好交談後，在一旁坐下。先生！在一旁坐下的四方主國王對護光學生婆羅門說這個：「請護光尊師教誡我們，護光尊師不要在教誡上拒絕我們，我將置你於父親位置，我將在總管上灌頂。」「是的，先生！」先生！護光學生婆羅門回答四方主國王。先生！那時，四方主國王對護光學生婆羅門在總管上灌頂，置他於父親的位置。在總管上被灌頂的、被置於父親位置的護光學生婆羅門凡他的父親教誡諸事，他也教誡那些事，凡他的父親沒教誡諸事，他也教誡那些事，凡他的父親達成諸工作，他也達成那些工作，凡他的父親沒達成工作，他也達成那些工作。人們這麼說他：「先生！婆羅門確實是總管，先生！婆羅門確實是大總管。」先生！以這個理趣，護光學生婆羅門的「總管、大總管」稱呼就生起。(305)
王國的分享
先生！那時，大總管婆羅門去見那六位剎帝利。抵達後，對那六位剎帝利說這個：「先生！四方主國王是衰老的、年老的、高齡的、老年的、到達老年的，先生！誰又知道壽命呢？這存在可能性：凡在四方主國王已命終時，
國王推舉者會在王位上灌頂國王兒子雷奴。來！尊師們！請你們去見國王兒子雷奴。抵達後，請你們對國王兒子雷奴這麼說：『尊師！我們是雷奴可愛的、合意的、不厭逆的同伴，凡尊師有安樂，我們有那個安樂；凡尊師有苦，我們有那個苦。四方主國王是衰老的、年老的、高齡的、老年的、到達老年的，先生！誰又知道壽命呢？這存在可能性：凡在四方主國王已命終時，國王推舉者會在王位上灌頂雷奴尊師，如果雷奴尊師得到王位，請你以王國分享我們。』」「是的，先生！」先生！那六位剎帝利回答大總管婆羅門後，去見國王兒子雷奴。抵達後，對國王兒子雷奴這麼說：『尊師！我們是雷奴可愛的、合意的、不厭逆的同伴，凡尊師有安樂，我們有那個安樂；凡尊師有苦，我們有那個苦。四方主國王是衰老的、年老的、高齡的、老年的、到達老年的，先生！誰又知道壽命呢？這存在可能性：凡在四方主國王已命終時，國王推舉者會在王位上灌頂雷奴尊師，如果雷奴尊師得到王位，請你以王國分享我們。』『先生！在我的王國中，除了尊師們外，其他誰應該有快樂呢？先生！如果我得到王位，我將以王國分享你們。』(306)
先生！那時，經過諸日夜，四方主國王命終。在四方主國王已命終時，國王推舉者在王位上灌頂國王兒子雷奴。雷奴被王位灌頂，賦有、擁有五種欲自娛。先生！那時，大總管婆羅門去見那六位剎帝利。抵達後，對那六位剎帝利說這個：「先生！四方主國王已命終，被王位灌頂的雷奴賦有、擁有五種欲自娛，誰還知道諸欲陶醉者呢？來！尊師們！請你們去見雷奴國王。抵達後，請你們對雷奴國王這麼說：『先生！四方主國王已命終，雷奴尊師被王位灌頂，尊師記得那個言語嗎？』」(307)
「是的，先生！」先生！那六位剎帝利回答大總管婆羅門後，去見雷奴國王。抵達後，對雷奴國王說這個：「先生！四方主國王已命終，雷奴尊師被王位灌頂，尊師記得那個言語嗎？」「先生！我記得那個言語。誰能夠分開這塊北寬南[狹如]車面的大地為善分配的七等分呢？」「先生！除了大總管婆羅門以外，其他誰能呢？」先生！那時，雷奴國王召喚某位男子：「喂！來！男子！請你去見大總管婆羅門，抵達後，請你這麼說：『大德！雷奴國王召喚你。』」「是的，陛下！」先生！那位男子回答雷奴國王後，去見大總管婆羅門。抵達後，對大總管婆羅門說這個：「大德！雷奴國王召喚你。」「是的，先生！」先生！大總管婆羅門回答那位男子後，去見雷奴國王。抵達後，與雷奴國王一起互相問候。交換應該被互相問候的友好交談後，在一旁坐下。先生！雷奴國王對在一旁坐下的大總管婆羅門說這個：「來！請總管尊師分開這塊北寬南[狹如]車面的大地為善分配的七等分。」「是的，陛下！」大總管婆羅門分開這塊北寬南[狹如]車面的大地為善分配的七等分，他建立全部[如]車面，在那裡，雷奴國王的國土是在中央。(308)
『迦陵伽-象牙城，與阿濕伽-波大那，
阿槃提-大自，與酥摩-羅魯葛，
毘提訶-彌低拉，與在鴦伽處瞻波被建造，
以及迦尸-波羅奈，這些被總管建造。』(309)
先生！那時，那六位剎帝利如是以自己的利得成為悅意的、意向完成的：『被我們凡想要的、凡希望的、凡意趣的、凡欲求的，那個被我們得到。』
『沙大不與婆羅門達度，毘舍不連同沙哈，
雷奴與兩個持國，那時是七位負擔者。』(310)
初誦分終了。
名聲的傳播
先生！那時，那六位剎帝利去見大總管婆羅門。抵達後，對大總管婆羅門說這個：「如總管尊師是雷奴國王可愛的、合意的、不厭逆的同伴。同樣的，總管尊師也是我們可愛的、合意的、不厭逆的同伴。請總管尊師教誡我們，總管尊師不要在教誡上拒絕我們。」「是的，先生！」先生！大總管婆羅門回答那六位剎帝利。那時，大總管婆羅門在統治上教誡七位剎帝利灌頂王國王，與教導七位大財富婆羅門，以及使七百位
淨行者誦諸聖典。(311)
先生！大總管婆羅門過些時候這樣的好名聲傳播：「大總管婆羅門當面看見諸梵天；大總管婆羅門當面與梵天交談、共語、商量。」先生！那時，大總管婆羅門想這個：「我的這樣的好名聲被傳播：『大總管婆羅門當面看見諸梵天；大總管婆羅門當面與梵天交談、共語、商量。』先生！但我沒看見梵天，我沒與梵天交談，我沒與梵天共語，我沒與梵天商量。又，當高齡的、老年的、老師與老師的老師婆羅門們說時，這被我聽聞：『凡在雨季
獨坐四個月，修悲禪，他看見梵天、與梵天交談、與梵天共語、與梵天商量，讓我在雨季中獨坐四個月，修悲禪。』」(312)
先生！那時，大總管婆羅門去見雷奴國王。抵達後，對雷奴國王說這個：「先生！我的這樣的好名聲被傳播：『大總管婆羅門當面看見諸梵天；大總管婆羅門當面與梵天交談、共語、商量。』先生！但我沒看見梵天，我沒與梵天交談，我沒與梵天共語，我沒與梵天商量。又，當高齡的、老年的、老師與老師的老師婆羅門們說時，這被我聽聞：『凡在雨季中獨坐四個月，修悲禪，他看見梵天、與梵天交談、與梵天共語、與梵天商量，讓我在雨季中獨坐四個月，修悲禪。』先生！我想要在雨季中獨坐四個月，修悲禪，我不應該被任何人來見，除了以一位送食物外。」「現在是那個總管尊師
考量的時間。」(313)
先生！那時，大總管婆羅門去見那六位剎帝利。抵達後，對那六位剎帝利說這個：「先生！我的這樣的好名聲被傳播：『大總管婆羅門當面看見諸梵天；大總管婆羅門當面與梵天交談、共語、商量。』先生！但我沒看見梵天，我沒與梵天交談，我沒與梵天共語，我沒與梵天商量。又，當高齡的、老年的、老師與老師的老師婆羅門們說時，這被我聽聞：『凡在雨季中獨坐四個月，修悲禪，他看見梵天、與梵天交談、與梵天共語、與梵天商量，讓我在雨季中獨坐四個月，修悲禪。』先生！我想要在雨季中獨坐四個月，修悲禪，我不應該被任何人來見，除了以一位送食物外。」「現在是那個總管尊師考量的時間。」(314)
先生！那時，大總管婆羅門去見那七位大財富婆羅門與七百位淨行者。抵達後，對那七位大財富婆羅門與七百位淨行者說這個：「先生！我的這樣的好名聲被傳播：『大總管婆羅門當面看見諸梵天；大總管婆羅門當面與梵天交談、共語、商量。』先生！但我沒看見梵天，我沒與梵天交談，我沒與梵天共語，我沒與梵天商量。又，當高齡的、老年的、老師與老師的老師婆羅門們說時，這被我聽聞：『凡在雨季中獨坐四個月，修悲禪，他看見梵天、與梵天交談、與梵天共語、與梵天商量，讓我在雨季中獨坐四個月，修悲禪。』先生！那樣的話，請你們如聽聞的、如學得的聖典詳細地作誦讀，以及請你們互相教導聖典，先生！我想要在雨季中獨坐四個月，修悲禪，我不應該被任何人來見，除了以一位送食物外。」「現在是那個總管尊師考量的時間。」(315)
先生！那時，大總管婆羅門去見四十位相同的妻子。抵達後，對四十位相同的妻子說這個：「女士們！我的這樣的好名聲被傳播：『大總管婆羅門當面看見諸梵天；大總管婆羅門當面與梵天交談、共語、商量。』女士們！但我沒看見梵天，我沒與梵天交談，我沒與梵天共語，我沒與梵天商量。又，當高齡的、老年的、老師與老師的老師婆羅門們說時，這被我聽聞：『凡在雨季中獨坐四個月，修悲禪，他看見梵天、與梵天交談、與梵天共語、與梵天商量，讓我在雨季中獨坐四個月，修悲禪。』女士們！我想要在雨季中獨坐四個月，修悲禪，我不應該被任何人來見，除了以一位送食物外。」「現在是那個總管尊師考量的時間。」(316)
先生！那時，大總管婆羅門在城東使人建造新
集會所後，在雨季中獨坐四個月，修悲禪。這裡，確實沒任何人來見他，除以一位帶來食物者外。先生！那時，經過四個月，大總管婆羅門就有失望、戰慄：「又，當高齡的、老年的、老師與老師的老師婆羅門們說時，這被我聽聞：『凡在雨季中獨坐四個月，修悲禪，他看見梵天、與梵天交談、與梵天共語、與梵天商量。』但我沒看見梵天，我沒與梵天交談，我沒與梵天共語，我沒與梵天商量。」(317)
與梵天的交談
先生！那時，梵王常童子以心了知大總管婆羅門心中的深思後，就猶如有力氣的男子伸直彎曲的手臂，或彎曲伸直的手臂，就像這樣在梵天世界消失，出現在大總管婆羅門的面前。先生！那時，大總管婆羅門就變成害怕、變成僵硬狀態、變成
身毛豎立的：如看見那個以前沒看見的形色後那樣。先生！那時，恐懼、驚慌、身毛豎立的大總管婆羅門以
偈頌對梵王常童子說：
『有美貌的、有名聲的、有吉瑞的，親愛的先生！你是誰呢？
我們問不認識的你，我們應該如何知道你？』
『他們確實知道我：在梵天世界中永遠的童子，
全部天神們知道我，總管！請你這麼知道。』
『座位、洗腳水，以及為梵天的{蜂蜜蔬菜}[
熟蜜]，
在供物上我們詢問尊師，請尊師使用(作)我們的供物。』
『我們接受你的供物，總管！凡你說，
對當生的利益，與來世的安樂，
已允許-請你問，任何希求的。』(318)
先生！那時，大總管婆羅門想這個：「我被梵王常童子允許，我應該問梵王常童子當生的利益或來世的安樂呢？」先生！那時，大總管婆羅門想這個：「我是當生利益的善巧者，其他人還問我當生的利益，就讓我問梵王常童子來世的安樂。」先生！那時，大總管婆羅門以偈頌對梵王常童子說：
『我問梵天的常童子：在諸異端說上疑惑者對無疑惑者，
在何處住立者與在哪裡學習者，
不免一死的人到達
不死的梵天世界？』
『婆羅門！在人間捨斷我所執後，成為單一的、悲勝解的，
無惡臭的、從婬欲戒絕的，在這裡住立者與在這裡學習者，
不免一死的人到達不死的梵天世界。』(319)
『我了知尊師的「捨斷我所執後」：這裡，某人捨斷少量的財富聚集或捨斷大量的財富聚集後；捨斷少量的親屬圈或捨斷大量的親屬圈後，剃除髮鬚、裹上
袈裟衣後，
從在家出家成為無家者。像這樣我了知尊師的「捨斷我所執後」。我了知尊師的「成為單一的」：這裡，某人親近遠離(獨居)的臥坐處：林野、樹下、山岳、洞窟、山洞、墓地、森林、露地、稻草堆。像這樣我了知尊師的「成為單一的」。我了知尊師的「悲勝解的」：在這裡，某人以與悲俱行之心遍滿一方後而住，像這樣第二的，像這樣第三的，像這樣第四的，像這樣上下、橫向、到處、對一切如對自己，以與悲俱行的、廣大的、變大的、無量的、無怨恨的、無瞋害的心遍滿全部世間後而住。像這樣我了知尊師的「悲心勝解的」。但我不了知尊師說的「在惡臭處」。
梵天！在人間誰是惡臭者？明智者！這裡無智者請你講述這些：
被什麼覆蓋人們散發氣味，令作
苦界者、梵天世界覆蓋者？』
『憤怒、妄語、詐欺、欺瞞，
貪婪、
極慢、嫉妒，
欲求、種種欲、惱害他人，貪、瞋恚、憍慢、愚癡，
在這些上被上軛的非無惡臭者，令作苦界者、梵天世界覆蓋者。』
『如我了知尊師說的關於惡臭，那些不易被在家居住者壓制，尊師！我將從在家出家成為無家者。』『現在是那個總管尊師考量的時間。』(320)
雷奴國王的商量
先生！那時，大總管婆羅門去見雷奴國王。抵達後，對雷奴國王說這個：『現在，請尊師遍求其他輔相：凡將教誡尊師的統治。尊師！我想要從在家出家成為無家者。又，如被我聽聞梵天說關於惡臭，那些不易被在家居住者壓制，尊師！我將從在家出家成為無家者。
對國王商量：我對大地的主人雷奴，
請你知道以統治，我在輔相上不喜樂。』
『如果你以諸欲有不足的，我使它們變得完全，
凡殺害你者我阻擋，我是大地軍隊的主人，
你是父親我是兒子，總管！請你不要捨棄我們。』
『我以諸欲沒有不足的，我的殺害者不存在，
聽聞非人類言語後，因此我在家上不喜樂。』
『非人類有怎樣的形色，他對你怎麼說利益，
凡聽聞後你捨棄我們，諸家與全部的我們？』
『在之前當我
入布薩，我憶念想要祭祀時，
火被點燃，吉祥草的葉子被遍散布。
之後永遠的梵天對我出現：從梵天世界，
他解答我的問題，聽聞那個後我在家上不喜樂。』
『我相信尊師的：總管！凡你說，
聽聞非人類言語後，無論怎樣你以別的方法使轉起，
我們將隨轉起你的那個，總管！尊師是我們的大師。
如寶珠琉璃：無污的、離垢的、清淨的，
這樣我們將以信實行：在總管的教誡下。』
『如果總管尊師將從在家出家成為無家者，我們也將從在家出家成為無家者，那時，凡你的去處，那個也將是我們的去處。』(321)
六位剎帝利的商量
先生！那時，大總管婆羅門去見六位剎帝利。抵達後，對那六位剎帝利說這個：『現在，請尊師們遍求其他輔相：凡將教誡尊師們的統治。尊師！我想要從在家出家成為無家者。又，如我了知梵天說的惡臭，那些不易被在家居住者壓制，尊師！我將從在家出家成為無家者。』先生！那時，那六位剎帝利離開到一旁後這麼計劃：『這些婆羅門確實是財物貪求者，讓我們以財物
說服大總管婆羅門。』他們去見大總管婆羅門後，這麼說：『先生！在這七個王國中，存在很多財富，從那裡尊師的需要以多少請拿多少。』『夠了！先生！正由於尊師們，我也有這很多財產，捨斷全部那個後，我從在家出家成為無家者。又，如被我聽聞梵天說關於惡臭，那些不易被在家居住者壓制，尊師！我將從在家出家成為無家者。』先生！那時，那六位剎帝利離開到一旁後這麼計劃：『這些婆羅門確實是女人貪求者，讓我們以女人說服大總管婆羅門。』他們去見大總管婆羅門後，這麼說：『先生！在這七個王國中，存在很多女人，從那裡尊師的需要以多少請帶來多少。』『夠了！先生！我也有這四十位相同的妻子，我也全部捨斷她們後，將從在家出家成為無家者。又，如被我聽聞梵天說關於惡臭，那些不易被在家居住者壓制，尊師！我將從在家出家成為無家者。』(322)
『如果總管尊師從在家出家成為無家者，我們也將從在家出家成為無家者，那時，凡你的去處，那個也將是我們的去處。』
『如果你們捨棄諸欲：在那裡一般人被黏著，
請你們努力請你們成為堅固者，
忍耐力定置者。
這是道、正直道，這是無上道，
是被善人守護的正法，為了梵天世界的往生。』
『那樣的話，請總管尊師等候七年，七年後我們也從在家出家成為無家者，那時，凡你的去處，那個也將是我們的去處。』『先生！七年過長，我不能夠等候尊師們七年，先生！誰又知道壽命呢？來世應該被去，聰慧者應該被覺醒，善的應該被作，梵行應該被實行，生者沒有不死的。又，如被我聽聞梵天說關於惡臭，那些不易被在家居住者壓制，先生！我將從在家出家成為無家者。』『那樣的話，請總管尊師等候六年……（中略）請等候五年……請等候四年……請等候三年……請等候二年……請等候一年，一年後我們也從在家出家成為無家者，那時，凡你的去處，那個也將是我們的去處。』
『先生！一年過長，我不能夠等候尊師們一年，先生！誰又知道壽命呢？來世應該被去，聰慧者應該被覺醒，善的應該被作，梵行應該被實行，生者沒有不死的。又，如被我聽聞梵天說關於惡臭，那些不易被在家居住者壓制，先生！我將從在家出家成為無家者。』『那樣的話，請總管尊師等候七個月，七個月後我們也從在家出家成為無家者，那時，凡你的去處，那個也將是我們的去處。』
『先生！七個月過長，我不能夠等候尊師們七個月，先生！誰又知道壽命呢？來世應該被去，聰慧者應該被覺醒，善的應該被作，梵行應該被實行，生者沒有不死的。又，如被我聽聞梵天說關於惡臭，那些不易被在家居住者壓制，先生！我將從在家出家成為無家者。』『那樣的話，請總管尊師等候六個月……（中略）請等候五個月……請等候四個月……請等候三個月……請等候二個月……請等候一個月……請等候半個月，半個月後我們再從在家出家成為無家者，那時，凡你的去處，那個也將是我們的去處。』
『先生！半個月過長，尊師們！我不能夠等候尊師們半個月，先生！誰又知道壽命呢？來世應該被去，聰慧者應該被覺醒，善的應該被作，梵行應該被實行，生者沒有不死的。又，如被我聽聞梵天說關於惡臭，那些不易被在家居住者壓制，先生！我將從在家出家成為無家者。』『那樣的話，請總管尊師等候七天，直到我們以王位教誡自己的兒子、兄弟，七天後我們也從在家出家成為無家者，那時，凡你的去處，那個也將是我們的去處。』『先生！七天不長，我將等候尊師們七天。』(323)
大財富婆羅門等的商量
先生！那時，大總管婆羅門去見七位大財富婆羅門與七百位淨行者。抵達後，對七位大財富婆羅門與七百位淨行者說這個：『現在，請尊師們遍求其他老師：凡為尊師們教導聖典，先生！我想要從在家出家成為無家者。又，如被我聽聞梵天說關於惡臭，那些不易被在家居住者壓制，先生！我將從在家出家成為無家者。』『總管尊師不要從在家出家成為無家者，尊師！出家者是少影響力的與少利得的，婆羅門是大影響力的與大利得的。』『尊師們！你們不要這麼說：「出家者是少影響力的與少利得的，婆羅門是大影響力的與大利得的。」先生！除了我外，誰是更有大影響力的，或大利得的呢？先生！現在，我對國王們如國王；對婆羅們們如梵王；對
屋主們如天神，捨斷全部那個後，我將從在家出家成為無家者。又，如被我聽聞梵天說關於惡臭，那些不易被在家居住者壓制，先生！我將從在家出家成為無家者。』『如果總管尊師將從在家出家成為無家者，我們也將從在家出家成為無家者，那時，凡你的去處，那個也將是我們的去處。』(324)
妻子們的商量
先生！那時，大總管婆羅門去見四十位相同的妻子。抵達後，對四十位相同的妻子說這個：『女士們中凡想要：或請去自己的親族家，或遍求其他丈夫，女士們！我想要從在家出家成為無家者。又，如被我聽聞梵天說關於惡臭，那些不易被在家居住者壓制，女士們！我將從在家出家成為無家者。』『你就是我們想要親族的親族，你又是我們想要丈夫的丈夫。如果總管尊師從在家出家成為無家者，我們也將從在家出家成為無家者，那時，凡你的去處，也將是我們的去處。』(325)
大總管的出家
先生！那時，大總管婆羅門在那個的七天後，剃除髮鬚、裹上袈裟衣後，從在家出家成為無家者。又，對出家的大總管婆羅門，七位剎帝利灌頂王、七位大財富婆羅門、七百位淨行者、四十位相同的妻子、好幾千位剎帝利、好幾千位婆羅門、好幾千位屋主、許多後宮婦女剃除髮鬚、裹上袈裟衣後，跟隨大總管婆羅門的出家從在家出家成為無家者。大總管婆羅門被那群群眾圍繞，在村落、城鎮、王都中進行遊行。先生！又，凡那時大總管婆羅門前往村落或城鎮，在那裡，對國王們如國王；對婆羅們們如梵王；對屋主們如天神。當時，人們打噴嚏或跌倒，他們這麼說：『願
禮敬大總管婆羅門！願禮敬七[國]輔相！』(326)
先生！大總管婆羅門以與慈俱行之心遍滿一方後而住，像這樣第二的，像這樣第三的，像這樣第四的，像這樣上下、橫向、到處，以對一切如對自己，以與慈俱行之心，以廣大、出眾、無量、無怨恨、無惡意之心遍滿全部世間後而住。以與悲俱行之心……（中略）以與喜悅俱行之心……（中略）以與
平靜俱行之心……（中略）無惡意之心遍滿全部世間後而住：為弟子們教導
與梵天界共住的道路。(327)
先生！又，凡當時大總管婆羅門的弟子們全部完全地了知教說者，他們以身體的崩解，死後往生
善趣梵天世界，凡非全部完全地了知教說者，他們以身體的崩解，死後一些往生
他化自在天諸天們的共住狀態，一些往生
化樂天諸天們的共住狀態，一些往生兜率天諸天們的共住狀態，一些往生焰摩天諸天們的共住狀態，一些往生忉利天諸天們的共住狀態，一些往生四大王天諸天們的共住狀態，凡使最低身完成者，他們使乾達婆身完成。先生！像這樣，所有那些善男子的出家都是不空虛的、
功不唐捐的、有成果的、有果實的。』(328)
世尊你記得這個？」「五髻！我記得。當時，我是大總管婆羅門，我為那些弟子教導與梵天世界共住的道路。五髻！又，我的那個梵行不對
厭、不對
離貪、不對
滅、不對寂靜、不對證智、不對
正覺、不對涅槃轉起，最多只有梵天世界的往生。
五髻！又，我的這個梵行對
一向的厭、對離貪、對滅、對寂靜、對證智、對正覺、對涅槃轉起。五髻！而什麼是那個梵行對一向的厭、對離貪、對滅、對寂靜、對證智、對正覺、對涅槃轉起？就是這
八支聖道，即：正見、正志、正語、正業、正命、正方便、正念、正定，五髻！這是那個梵行對一向的厭、對離貪、對滅、對寂靜、對證智、對正覺、對涅槃轉起。(329)
五髻！凡我的弟子全部完全地了知教說者，他們以諸漏的滅盡，以證智自作證後，在當生中
進入後住於無漏
心解脫、
慧解脫；凡非全部完全地了知教說者，他們以
五下分結的滅盡，成為
化生者、在那裡般涅槃者、不從那個世間返還者；凡非全部完全地了知教說者，一些以三結的遍盡，以貪、瞋、癡薄的狀態，為
一來者，只回來這個世間一次後，將
作苦的終結；凡非全部完全地了知教說者，一些以三結的遍盡，為
入流者、不墮惡趣法者、
決定者、
正覺為彼岸者。五髻！像這樣，所有這些善男子的出家是不空虛的、功不唐捐的、有成果的、有果實的。」
世尊說這個，悅意的乾達婆之子五髻歡喜、隨喜世尊所說後，向世尊問訊、
作右繞後，就在那裡消失。(330)
