4.王品
中部81經/額低葛勒經(王品[9])(莊春江譯)[MA.63]
被我這麼聽聞：
有一次，
世尊與大
比丘僧團一起在憍薩羅進行遊行。
那時，世尊離開道路後，在某處顯露微笑。
那時，
尊者阿難想這個：
「什麼因、什麼
緣，世尊有微笑的顯露呢？諸如來不無原因地顯露微笑。」
那時，尊者阿難置(作)衣服到一邊肩膀、向世尊
合掌鞠躬後，對世尊說這個：
「
大德！什麼因、什麼緣，世尊有微笑的顯露呢？世尊不無原因地顯露微笑的。」
「阿難！從前，在這個地方是名叫威額林額的村落城鎮：繁榮的，同時也富裕的，以及人多的、人雜亂的。阿難！迦葉世尊、
阿羅漢、
遍正覺者依止威額林額村落城鎮而住。阿難！這裡是迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者的園林，這裡是坐著的迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者教誡比丘僧團處。」
那時，尊者阿難摺
大衣成四折後，對世尊說這個：「大德！那樣的話，請世尊坐在這裡，這個地方將被兩位阿羅漢、遍正覺者使用。」
世尊在設置的座位坐下。坐下後，世尊召喚尊者阿難：
「阿難！從前，在這個地方名叫威額林額的村落城鎮：繁榮的，同時也富裕的，以及人多的、人雜亂的。阿難！迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者依止威額林額村落城鎮而住。阿難！這裡是迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者的園林，這裡是坐著的迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者教誡比丘僧團處。(282)
阿難！在威額林額村落城鎮有位名叫額低葛勒的陶匠，是迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者的奉獻者、最高的奉獻者，阿難！額低葛勒陶匠有位朋友、親愛的朋友，名叫周低波勒的
學生婆羅門。那時，額低葛勒陶匠召喚周低波勒學生婆羅門：
『親愛的周低波勒！我們走，我們將去見迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者，因為對那位迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者的看見被我認定好的。』
阿難！在這麼說時，周低波勒學生婆羅門對額低葛勒陶匠說這個：『停(夠了)！親愛的額低葛勒！然而，以那位
禿頭假沙門的看見有什麼？』
阿難！第二次又……（中略）。
阿難！第三次，額低葛勒陶匠又對周低波勒學生婆羅門說這個：『親愛的周低波勒！我們走，我們將去見迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者，因為對那位迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者的看見被我認定好的。』
阿難！第三次，周低波勒學生婆羅門又對額低葛勒陶匠說這個：『停！親愛的額低葛勒！然而，以那位那位禿頭假沙門的看見有什麼？』
『親愛的周低波勒！那樣的話，拿
擦背用具與肥皂粉後，讓我們到河沐浴。』
『是的，親愛的！』阿難！周低波勒學生婆羅門回答額低葛勒陶匠。
阿難！那時，額低葛勒陶匠與周低波勒學生婆羅門拿擦背用具與肥皂粉後，到河沐浴。(283)
阿難！那時，額低葛勒陶匠召喚周低波勒學生婆羅門：『親愛的周低波勒！這不遠處有迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者的園林，親愛的周低波勒！我們走，我們將去見迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者，因為對那位迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者的看見被我認定好的。』
阿難！在這麼說時，周低波勒學生婆羅門對額低葛勒陶匠說這個：『停！親愛的額低葛勒！然而，以那位那位禿頭假沙門的看見有什麼？』
阿難！第二次又……（中略）。
阿難！第三次，額低葛勒陶匠又對周低波勒學生婆羅門說這個：
『親愛的周低波勒！這不遠處有迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者的園林，親愛的周低波勒！我們走，我們將去見迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者，因為對那位迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者的看見被我認定好的。』
阿難！第三次，周低波勒學生婆羅門又對額低葛勒陶匠說這個：『停！親愛的額低葛勒！然而，以那位那位禿頭假沙門的看見有什麼？』
阿難！那時，額低葛勒陶匠在腰帶上抓住周低波勒學生婆羅門後，說這個：『親愛的周低波勒！這不遠處有個迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者的園林，親愛的周低波勒！我們走，我們將去見迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者，因為對那位迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者的看見被我認定好的確實是好的。』
阿難！那時，周低波勒學生婆羅門{轉去}[解開]腰帶後，對額低葛勒陶匠說這個：『停！親愛的額低葛勒！然而，以那位那位禿頭假沙門的看見有什麼？』
阿難！那時，額低葛勒陶匠在已沐浴的頭髮上抓住周低波勒學生婆羅門後，說這個：『親愛的周低波勒！這不遠處有個迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者的園林，親愛的周低波勒！我們走，我們將去見迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者，因為對那位迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者的看見被我認定好的確實是好的。』
阿難！那時，周低波勒學生婆羅門想這個：『實在不可思議啊，
先生！實在
未曾有啊，先生！確實是因為這位一直是劣等出生的額低葛勒陶匠竟然認為我們已沐浴的頭髮應該被抓住，我認為這確實將不是低級的。』對額低葛勒陶匠說這個：『親愛的額低葛勒！
到上限？』
『親愛的周低波勒！到上限。而，像這樣，因為對那位迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者的看見被我認定好的是好的。』
『親愛的額低葛勒！那樣的話，請你放開，讓我們走。』(284)
阿難！那時，額低葛勒陶匠與周低波勒學生婆羅門去見迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者。抵達後，額低葛勒陶匠向迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者
問訊後，在一旁坐下。周低波勒學生婆羅門與迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者一起互相問候。交換應該被互相問候的友好交談後，在一旁坐下。阿難！在一旁坐下的額低葛勒陶匠對迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者說這個：『大德！這位周低波勒學生婆羅門是我的朋友、親愛的朋友，請世尊為這位教導法。』
阿難！那時，迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者對額低葛勒陶匠與周低波勒學生婆羅門以法說開示、勸導、鼓勵、
使歡喜。阿難！那時，被迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者以法說開示、勸導、鼓勵、使歡喜的額低葛勒陶匠與周低波勒學生婆羅門歡喜、
隨喜迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者所說後，從座位起來、向迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者問訊、
作右繞後，離開。(285)
阿難！那時，周低波勒學生婆羅門對額低葛勒陶匠說這個：『親愛的額低葛勒！你一直聽聞這個法，卻不將
從在家出家成為無家者嗎？』
『親愛的周低波勒！你知道我扶養已盲的年老父母，不是嗎？』
『親愛的額低葛勒！那樣的話，我將
從在家出家成為無家者。』
阿難！那時，額低葛勒陶匠與周低波勒學生婆羅門去見迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者。抵達後，向迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者問訊後，在一旁坐下。阿難！在一旁坐下的額低葛勒陶匠對迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者說這個：『大德！這位周低波勒學生婆羅門是我的朋友、親愛的朋友，請世尊使這位出家。』
周低波勒學生婆羅門得到在迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者的面前
出家、
得到具足戒。(286)
阿難！那時，迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者在周低波勒學生婆羅門已受具足戒不久，在已受具足戒半個月，在威額林額如其意地住後，向波羅奈出發遊行。
次第進行遊行地抵達波羅奈。阿難！在那裡，迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者就住在波羅奈仙人落下處的鹿林。
阿難！那時，迦尸國王居記聽聞：『迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者抵達波羅奈，住在波羅奈仙人落下處的鹿林。』
阿難！那時，迦尸國王居記準備一輛輛吉祥車、登上吉祥車後，為了見迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者，以一輛輛吉祥車，以國王威力盛況從波羅奈出發，以車輛一直走到車輛所及之地、再下車後，就步行去見迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者。抵達後，向迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者問訊後，在一旁坐下。阿難！那時，迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者對在一旁坐下的迦尸國王居記以法說開示、勸導、鼓勵，使歡喜。阿難！那時，迦尸國王居記被迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者以法說開示、勸導、鼓勵、使歡喜後對迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者說這個：
『大德！請世尊與比丘僧團一起同意我明天的食事。』
阿難！迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者以沈默狀態同意。
阿難！那時，迦尸國王居記知道迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者同意後，從座位起來、向迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者問訊、
作右繞後離開。
阿難！那時，那夜過後，迦尸國王居記在自己的住處使淡黃容器的(?)粳米飯、挑除黑粒的飯、各種咖哩、各種配菜之勝妙的
硬食、軟食準備後，使[人]為迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者通知時間：『大德！是時間，食事已完成。』(287)
阿難！那時，迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者午前時穿衣、拿起衣鉢後，去迦尸國王居記的住處。抵達後，與比丘僧團一起在設置的座位坐下。阿難！那時，迦尸國王居記以勝妙的
硬食、軟食親手款待以佛陀為上首的比丘僧團，使滿足。
阿難！那時，對已食、手離鉢的迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者，迦尸國王居記取某個低的坐具後，在一旁坐下。在一旁坐下的迦尸國王居記對迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者說這個：
『大德！請世尊同意我：在波羅奈
雨季安居，像這樣，僧團將有奉獻。』
『停！大王！雨季安居已被我同意。』
阿難！第二次又……。阿難！第三次迦尸國王居記又對迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者說這個：『大德！請世尊同意我：在波羅奈雨季安居，像這樣，僧團將有奉獻。』
『停！大王！雨季安居已被我同意。』
阿難！那時，迦尸國王居記：『迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者不同意我：在波羅奈雨季安居。』就成為變異，成為憂鬱。
阿難！那時，迦尸國王居記對迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者說這個：『大德！有任何其它比我更奉獻者嗎？』
『大王！有個名叫威額林額的村落城鎮，在那裡，有位名叫額低葛勒的陶匠，他是我的奉獻者、最高的奉獻者。大王！而，迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者不同意我：在波羅奈雨季安居。你就有變異，有憂鬱，這位額低葛勒陶匠沒有那個，而且將來也沒有。大王！額低葛勒陶匠已
歸依佛、法、僧團，大王！額低葛勒陶匠是離殺生者，離
未被給與的拿取者，離
邪淫者，離
妄語者，離榖酒、果酒、
酒放逸處者，大王！額低葛勒陶匠在佛上具備
不壞淨，在法上具備不壞淨，在僧團上具備不壞淨，具備聖者喜愛的諸戒，大王！額低葛勒陶匠在苦上是無疑惑者，在苦
集上是無疑惑者，在苦
滅上是無疑惑者，在導向苦
滅道跡上是無疑惑者，大王！額低葛勒陶匠是一日一食者、梵行者、持戒者、
善法者，大王！額低葛勒陶匠已放下珠寶、黃金，已離金銀，大王！額低葛勒陶匠已放下杵(鋤頭?)，不以自己的手挖掘土地，凡有破壞的堤防(斜面)或老鼠形成的[土]，他以扁擔搬運、作容器後，這麼說：「在這裡，凡想要者，放置米回報袋(?)，或豆回報袋，或豌豆回報袋後，凡想要者，請拿走那個。」大王！額低葛勒陶匠扶養已盲的年老父母，大王！額低葛勒陶匠以
五下分結的滅盡，成為
化生者，在那裡入了究竟涅槃，為不從那個世間返還者。(288)
大王！有這一次，我住在名叫威額林額的村落城鎮。大王！那時，我午前時穿衣、拿起衣鉢後，去見額低葛勒陶匠的父母。抵達後，我對額低葛勒陶匠的父母說這個：「那麼，這位
祥瑞兒去哪裡？」「大德！你的奉獻者已出去，在裡面從甕取飯、從釜取咖哩(湯)後，請你食用。」大王！那時，我從甕取飯、從釜取咖哩、食用後，從座位起來後離開。大王！那時，額低葛勒陶匠去見父母。抵達後，對父母說這個：「誰從甕內取飯、從釜取咖哩、食用後，從座位起來後離開呢？」「兒子！迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者從甕內取飯、從釜取咖哩、食用後，從座位起來後離開。」大王！那時，額低葛勒陶匠想這個：「確實是我的利得，確實是我的善得的：凡迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者對我這麼信賴。」大王！那時，額低葛勒陶匠不離開喜、樂半個月，他的父母七天。(289)
大王！有這一次，我就住在名叫威額林額的村落城鎮那裡。大王！那時，我午前時穿衣、拿起衣鉢後，去見額低葛勒陶匠的父母。抵達後，我對額低葛勒陶匠的父母說這個：「那麼，這位祥瑞兒去哪裡？」「大德！你的奉獻者已出去，在裡面從鍋取粥、從釜取咖哩後，請你食用。」大王！那時，我從鍋取粥、從釜取咖哩、食用後，從座位起來後離開。大王！那時，額低葛勒陶匠去見父母。抵達後，對父母說這個：「誰從鍋取粥、從釜取咖哩、食用後，從座位起來後離開呢？」「兒子！迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者從鍋取粥、從釜取咖哩、食用後，從座位起來後離開。」大王！那時，額低葛勒陶匠想這個：「確實是我的利得，確實是我的善得的：凡迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者對我這麼信賴。」大王！那時，額低葛勒陶匠不離開喜、樂半個月，他的父母七天。(290)
大王！有這一次，我就住在名叫威額林額的村落城鎮那裡那裡，當時，小屋漏雨(下雨)，大王！那時，我召喚比丘們：「比丘們！請你們去額低葛勒陶匠的住處找草。」大王！在這麼說時，那些比丘們對我說這個：「大德！額低葛勒陶匠的住處沒有草，但他的住處有草屋頂。」「比丘們！請你們去額低葛勒陶匠住處，請你們拆(作)屋頂的草。」大王！那時，那些比丘拆額低葛勒陶匠住處屋頂的草。大王！那時，額低葛勒陶匠的父母對那些比丘說這個：「誰拆住處屋頂的草？」「姊妹！是比丘們。迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者的小屋漏雨。」「大德！請你們帶走，
賢面們！請你們帶走。」大王！那時，額低葛勒陶匠去見父母。抵達後，對父母說這個：「誰拆住處屋頂的草？」「兒子！是比丘們。迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者的小屋漏雨。」大王！那時，額低葛勒陶匠想這個：「確實是我的利得，確實是我的善得的：凡迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者對我這麼信賴。」大王！那時，額低葛勒陶匠不離開喜、樂半個月，他的父母七天。大王！那時，住處空屋頂持續全部三個月整，天沒下大雨。大王！而，額低葛勒陶匠是像這樣的。』
『大德！是額低葛勒陶匠的利得，是額低葛勒陶匠的善得的：凡迦葉世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者這麼信賴。』(291)
阿難！那時，迦尸國王居記為額低葛勒陶匠派遣約五百車米、淡黃容器的粳米飯與適合那個的咖哩。阿難！那時，那些國王的男子去見額低葛勒陶匠後，說這個：『大德！這些約五百車米、淡黃容器的粳米飯與適合那個的咖哩被迦尸國王居記派遣，大德！請你們接受它們。』『國王有許多工作、許多應該被做的 ，對我是足夠的，令它就成為國王的。』
阿難！又，你會這麼想：『那時的周低波勒學生婆羅門當然是其他人。』阿難！但這不應該被看作這樣，我是那時的周低波勒學生婆羅門。」
世尊說這個，悅意的尊者阿難歡喜世尊的所說。(292)
