Evaṃ me sutaṃ—​	So I have heard.	我曾这样听说：
ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā kurūsu cārikaṃ caramāno mahatā bhikkhusaṃghena saddhiṃ yena thullakoṭṭhikaṃ nāma kurūnaṃ nigamo tadavasari.	At one time the Buddha was wandering in the land of the Kurus together with a large Saṅgha of monks when he arrived at a town of the Kurus named Thullakoṭṭhita.	有一次，佛陀与一大群僧侣在俱卢国游化，到达了俱卢国的一个城镇，名叫图拉哥提塔。
Assosuṃ kho thullakoṭṭhikā brāhmaṇagahapatikā:	The brahmins and householders of Thullakoṭṭhita heard:	图拉哥提塔的婆罗门和居士们听说了：
“samaṇo khalu, bho, gotamo sakyaputto sakyakulā pabbajito kurūsu cārikaṃ caramāno mahatā bhikkhusaṃghena saddhiṃ thullakoṭṭhikaṃ anuppatto.	“It seems the ascetic Gotama—a Sakyan, gone forth from a Sakyan family—has arrived at Thullakoṭṭhita, together with a large Saṅgha of monks.	“据说沙门乔达摩——一位释迦族的，从释迦族家庭出家的——已抵达图拉哥提塔，并与一大群僧侣在一起。
Taṃ kho pana bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ evaṃ kalyāṇo kittisaddo abbhuggato:	He has this good reputation:	他有这样的美誉：
‘itipi so bhagavā arahaṃ sammāsambuddho vijjācaraṇasampanno sugato lokavidū anuttaro purisadammasārathi satthā devamanussānaṃ buddho bhagavā’ti.	‘That Blessed One is perfected, a fully awakened Buddha, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, holy, knower of the world, supreme guide for those who wish to train, teacher of gods and humans, awakened, blessed.’	‘那位世尊是阿罗汉，正等正觉，明行具足，善逝，世间解，无上士，调御丈夫，天人师，佛，世尊。’
So imaṃ lokaṃ sadevakaṃ samārakaṃ sabrahmakaṃ sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiṃ pajaṃ sadevamanussaṃ sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā pavedeti.	He has realized with his own insight this world—with its gods, Māras and Brahmās, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, gods and humans—and he makes it known to others.	他以自己的洞察力证悟了这个世界——包括诸天、魔罗、梵天，以及世人中的沙门、婆罗门、天人——并将其教导给他人。
So dhammaṃ deseti ādikalyāṇaṃ majjhekalyāṇaṃ pariyosānakalyāṇaṃ sātthaṃ sabyañjanaṃ, kevalaparipuṇṇaṃ parisuddhaṃ brahmacariyaṃ pakāseti.	He teaches Dhamma that’s good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, meaningful and well-phrased. And he reveals a spiritual practice that’s entirely full and pure.	他所教导的佛法，初善、中善、后善，义理周全，文辞优美。他所揭示的梵行，完全圆满纯净。
Sādhu kho pana tathārūpānaṃ arahataṃ dassanaṃ hotī”ti.	It’s good to see such perfected ones.”	能见到这样的圆满者真是太好了。”

Atha kho thullakoṭṭhikā brāhmaṇagahapatikā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamiṃsu; upasaṅkamitvā appekacce bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdiṃsu; appekacce bhagavatā saddhiṃ sammodiṃsu, sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ nisīdiṃsu; appekacce yena bhagavā tenañjaliṃ paṇāmetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdiṃsu; appekacce bhagavato santike nāmagottaṃ sāvetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdiṃsu; appekacce tuṇhībhūtā ekamantaṃ nisīdiṃsu.	Then the brahmins and householders of Thullakoṭṭhita went up to the Buddha. Before sitting down to one side, some bowed, some exchanged greetings and polite conversation, some held up their joined palms toward the Buddha, some announced their name and clan, while some kept silent.	于是图拉哥提塔的婆罗门和居士们来到佛陀面前。在坐到一边之前，有些人顶礼，有些人互相问候并礼貌交谈，有些人合掌向佛陀，有些人报上自己的姓名和氏族，而有些人则保持沉默。
Ekamantaṃ nisinne kho thullakoṭṭhike brāhmaṇagahapatike bhagavā dhammiyā kathāya sandassesi samādapesi samuttejesi sampahaṃsesi.	When they were seated, the Buddha educated, encouraged, fired up, and inspired them with a Dhamma talk.	他们坐定后，佛陀以佛法谈话来教导、鼓励、激励、启发他们。

Tena kho pana samayena raṭṭhapālo nāma kulaputto tasmiṃyeva thullakoṭṭhike aggakulassa putto tissaṃ parisāyaṃ nisinno hoti.	Now at that time a respectable person named Raṭṭhapāla, the son of the leading clan in Thullakoṭṭhita, was sitting in the assembly.	当时，一位名叫拉塔波罗的受尊敬的人，他是图拉哥提塔主要家族的儿子，正坐在集会中。
Atha kho raṭṭhapālassa kulaputtassa etadahosi:	He thought:	他想：
“yathā yathā khvāhaṃ bhagavatā dhammaṃ desitaṃ ājānāmi, nayidaṃ sukaraṃ agāraṃ ajjhāvasatā ekantaparipuṇṇaṃ ekantaparisuddhaṃ saṅkhalikhitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ carituṃ.	“As I understand the Buddha’s teachings, it’s not easy for someone living at home to lead the spiritual life utterly full and pure, like a polished shell.	“依我理解佛陀的教导，在家生活的人要过完全圆满纯净，像磨光的贝壳一样的灵性生活，并不容易。
Yannūnāhaṃ kesamassuṃ ohāretvā kāsāyāni vatthāni acchādetvā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajeyyan”ti.	Why don’t I cut off my hair and beard, dress in ocher robes, and go forth from lay life to homelessness?”	我何不剃除须发，披上袈裟，从在家生活出家，过无家生活呢？”
Atha kho thullakoṭṭhikā brāhmaṇagahapatikā bhagavatā dhammiyā kathāya sandassitā samādapitā samuttejitā sampahaṃsitā bhagavato bhāsitaṃ abhinanditvā anumoditvā uṭṭhāyāsanā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṃ katvā pakkamiṃsu.	Then, having approved and agreed with what the Buddha said, the brahmins and householders of Thullakoṭṭhita got up from their seat, bowed, and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on their right, before leaving.	然后，图拉哥提塔的婆罗门和居士们赞同并同意了佛陀所说的话，他们从座位上站起来，向佛陀顶礼，恭敬地右绕佛陀，然后离开了。
Atha kho raṭṭhapālo kulaputto acirapakkantesu thullakoṭṭhikesu brāhmaṇagahapatikesu yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho raṭṭhapālo kulaputto bhagavantaṃ etadavoca:	Soon after they left, Raṭṭhapāla went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:	他们离开后不久，拉塔波罗走到佛陀面前，向佛陀顶礼，坐到一边，然后对佛陀说：
“yathā yathāhaṃ, bhante, bhagavatā dhammaṃ desitaṃ ājānāmi, nayidaṃ sukaraṃ agāraṃ ajjhāvasatā ekantaparipuṇṇaṃ ekantaparisuddhaṃ saṅkhalikhitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ carituṃ.	“Sir, as I understand the Buddha’s teachings, it’s not easy for someone living at home to lead the spiritual life utterly full and pure, like a polished shell.	“世尊，依我理解佛陀的教导，在家生活的人要过完全圆满纯净，像磨光的贝壳一样的灵性生活，并不容易。
Icchāmahaṃ, bhante, kesamassuṃ ohāretvā kāsāyāni vatthāni acchādetvā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajituṃ.	I wish to cut off my hair and beard, dress in ocher robes, and go forth from the lay life to homelessness.	我希望剃除须发，披上袈裟，从在家生活出家，过无家生活。
Labheyyāhaṃ, bhante, bhagavato santike pabbajjaṃ, labheyyaṃ upasampadaṃ.	Sir, may I receive the going forth, the ordination in the Buddha’s presence?	世尊，我可以在佛陀面前获得出家受戒吗？
Pabbājetu maṃ bhagavā”ti.	May the Buddha please give me the going forth.”	请佛陀让我出家吧。”
“Anuññātosi pana tvaṃ, raṭṭhapāla, mātāpitūhi agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajjāyā”ti?	“But, Raṭṭhapāla, do you have your parents’ permission?”	“可是，拉塔波罗，你得到你父母的允许了吗？”
“Na khohaṃ, bhante, anuññāto mātāpitūhi agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajjāyā”ti.	“No, sir.”	“没有，世尊。”
“Na kho, raṭṭhapāla, tathāgatā ananuññātaṃ mātāpitūhi puttaṃ pabbājentī”ti.	“Raṭṭhapāla, Buddhas don’t give the going forth to the child of parents who haven’t given their permission.”	“拉塔波罗，佛陀不会让未经父母允许的孩子出家。”
“Svāhaṃ, bhante, tathā karissāmi yathā maṃ mātāpitaro anujānissanti agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajjāyā”ti.	“I’ll make sure, sir, to get my parents’ permission.”	“世尊，我会确保得到我父母的允许。”

Atha kho raṭṭhapālo kulaputto uṭṭhāyāsanā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṃ katvā yena mātāpitaro tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā mātāpitaro etadavoca:	Then Raṭṭhapāla got up from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled the Buddha. Then he went to his parents and said:	然后拉塔波罗从座位上站起来，向佛陀顶礼，恭敬地右绕佛陀。然后他走到父母那里说：
“ammatātā, yathā yathāhaṃ bhagavatā dhammaṃ desitaṃ ājānāmi, nayidaṃ sukaraṃ agāraṃ ajjhāvasatā ekantaparipuṇṇaṃ ekantaparisuddhaṃ saṅkhalikhitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ carituṃ.	“Mum and dad, as I understand the Buddha’s teachings, it’s not easy for someone living at home to lead the spiritual life utterly full and pure, like a polished shell.	“爸爸妈妈，依我理解佛陀的教导，在家生活的人要过完全圆满纯净，像磨光的贝壳一样的灵性生活，并不容易。
Icchāmahaṃ kesamassuṃ ohāretvā kāsāyāni vatthāni acchādetvā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajituṃ.	I wish to cut off my hair and beard, dress in ocher robes, and go forth from the lay life to homelessness.	我希望剃除须发，披上袈裟，从在家生活出家，过无家生活。
Anujānātha maṃ agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajjāyā”ti.	Please give me permission to go forth.”	请允许我出家吧。”
Evaṃ vutte, raṭṭhapālassa kulaputtassa mātāpitaro raṭṭhapālaṃ kulaputtaṃ etadavocuṃ:	When he said this, Raṭṭhapāla’s parents said to him:	当他这么说时，拉塔波罗的父母对他说：
“tvaṃ khosi, tāta raṭṭhapāla, amhākaṃ ekaputtako piyo manāpo sukhedhito sukhaparibhato.	“But, dear Raṭṭhapāla, you’re our only child. Youʼre dear to us and we love you. You’re dainty and raised in comfort.	“可是，亲爱的拉塔波罗，你是我们唯一的孩子。你对我们来说是珍贵的，我们爱你。你娇生惯养，养尊处优。
Na tvaṃ, tāta raṭṭhapāla, kassaci dukkhassa jānāsi.	You know nothing of suffering.	你一无所知关于痛苦。
() Maraṇenapi te mayaṃ akāmakā vinā bhavissāma.	When you die we will lose you against our wishes.	你死后，我们会违背我们的意愿失去你。
Kiṃ pana mayaṃ taṃ jīvantaṃ anujānissāma agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajjāyā”ti?	So how can we allow you to go forth while you’re still alive?”	所以我们怎么能允许你活着的时候出家呢？”

Dutiyampi kho raṭṭhapālo kulaputto … pe …	For a second time,	第二次，
tatiyampi kho raṭṭhapālo kulaputto mātāpitaro etadavoca:	and a third time, Raṭṭhapāla asked his parents for permission, but got the same reply.	第三次，拉塔波罗向他父母请求允许，但得到了相同的答复。
“ammatātā, yathā yathāhaṃ bhagavatā dhammaṃ desitaṃ ājānāmi, nayidaṃ sukaraṃ agāraṃ ajjhāvasatā ekantaparipuṇṇaṃ ekantaparisuddhaṃ saṅkhalikhitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ carituṃ.
Icchāmahaṃ kesamassuṃ ohāretvā kāsāyāni vatthāni acchādetvā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajituṃ.
Anujānātha maṃ agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajjāyā”ti.

Atha kho raṭṭhapālo kulaputto:	Then Raṭṭhapāla thought:	于是拉塔波罗想：
“na maṃ mātāpitaro anujānanti agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajjāyā”ti tattheva anantarahitāya bhūmiyā nipajji:	“My parents don’t allow me to go forth.” He laid down there on the bare ground, saying:	“我父母不让我出家。”他躺在光秃秃的地上，说：
“idheva me maraṇaṃ bhavissati pabbajjā vā”ti.	“I’ll either die right here or go forth.”	“我要么死在这里，要么出家。”
Atha kho raṭṭhapālo kulaputto ekampi bhattaṃ na bhuñji, dvepi bhattāni na bhuñji, tīṇipi bhattāni na bhuñji, cattāripi bhattāni na bhuñji, pañcapi bhattāni na bhuñji, chapi bhattāni na bhuñji, sattapi bhattāni na bhuñji.	And he refused to eat, up to the seventh meal.	他拒绝进食，直到第七顿饭。
Atha kho raṭṭhapālassa kulaputtassa mātāpitaro raṭṭhapālaṃ kulaputtaṃ etadavocuṃ:	Then Raṭṭhapāla’s parents said to him:	然后拉塔波罗的父母对他说：
“tvaṃ khosi, tāta raṭṭhapāla, amhākaṃ ekaputtako piyo manāpo sukhedhito sukhaparibhato.	“Dear Raṭṭhapāla, youʼre our only child. You’re dear to us and we love you. You’re dainty and raised in comfort.	“亲爱的拉塔波罗，你是我们唯一的孩子。你对我们来说是珍贵的，我们爱你。你娇生惯养，养尊处优。
Na tvaṃ, tāta raṭṭhapāla, kassaci, dukkhassa jānāsi.	You know nothing of suffering.	你一无所知关于痛苦。
Maraṇenapi te mayaṃ akāmakā vinā bhavissāma.	When you die we will lose you against our wishes.	你死后，我们会违背我们的意愿失去你。
Kiṃ pana mayaṃ taṃ jīvantaṃ anujānissāma agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajjāya.	So how can we allow you to go forth from lay life to homelessness while youʼre still living?	那么我们怎么能允许你在有生之年从在家生活出家，过无家生活呢？
Uṭṭhehi, tāta raṭṭhapāla, bhuñja ca piva ca paricārehi ca;	Get up, Raṭṭhapāla! Eat, drink, and amuse yourself.	起来吧，拉塔波罗！吃喝玩乐吧。
bhuñjanto pivanto paricārento kāme paribhuñjanto puññāni karonto abhiramassu.	While enjoying sensual pleasures, delight in making merit.	在享受感官乐趣的同时，乐于积德。
Na taṃ mayaṃ anujānāma agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajjāya.	We don’t allow you to go forth.	我们不允许你出家。
Maraṇenapi te mayaṃ akāmakā vinā bhavissāma.	When you die we will lose you against our wishes.	你死后，我们会违背我们的意愿失去你。
Kiṃ pana mayaṃ taṃ jīvantaṃ anujānissāma agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajjāyā”ti?	So how can we allow you to go forth while you’re still alive?”	那么我们怎么能允许你活着的时候出家呢？”
Evaṃ vutte, raṭṭhapālo kulaputto tuṇhī ahosi.	When they said this, Raṭṭhapāla kept silent.	当他们这么说时，拉塔波罗保持沉默。
Dutiyampi kho raṭṭhapālassa kulaputtassa mātāpitaro raṭṭhapālaṃ kulaputtaṃ etadavocuṃ … pe …	For a second time,	第二次，
dutiyampi kho raṭṭhapālo kulaputto tuṇhī ahosi.

Tatiyampi kho raṭṭhapālassa kulaputtassa mātāpitaro raṭṭhapālaṃ kulaputtaṃ etadavocuṃ:	and a third time, Raṭṭhapāla’s parents made the same request.	第三次，拉塔波罗的父母提出了相同的要求。
“tvaṃ khosi, tāta raṭṭhapāla, amhākaṃ ekaputtako piyo manāpo sukhedhito sukhaparibhato.
Na tvaṃ, tāta raṭṭhapāla, kassaci dukkhassa jānāsi.

Tatiyampi kho raṭṭhapālo kulaputto tuṇhī ahosi.	And for a third time, Raṭṭhapāla kept silent. Raṭṭhapāla’s parents then went to see his friends. They told them of the situation and asked for their help.	第三次，拉塔波罗仍保持沉默。拉塔波罗的父母于是去见他的朋友。他们告诉他们情况并请求他们的帮助。

Atha kho raṭṭhapālassa kulaputtassa sahāyakā yena raṭṭhapālo kulaputto tenupasaṅkamiṃsu; upasaṅkamitvā raṭṭhapālaṃ kulaputtaṃ etadavocuṃ:	Then Raṭṭhapāla’s friends went to him and said:	于是，拉塔波罗的朋友们走到他面前说：
“tvaṃ khosi, samma raṭṭhapāla, mātāpitūnaṃ ekaputtako piyo manāpo sukhedhito sukhaparibhato.	“Our friend Raṭṭhapāla, you are your parents’ only child. Youʼre dear to them and they love you. You’re dainty and raised in comfort.	“我们的朋友拉塔波罗，你是你父母唯一的孩子。你对他们来说是珍贵的，他们爱你。你娇生惯养，养尊处优。
Na tvaṃ, samma raṭṭhapāla, kassaci dukkhassa jānāsi.	You know nothing of suffering.	你一无所知关于痛苦。
Maraṇenapi te mātāpitaro akāmakā vinā bhavissanti.	When you die your parents will lose you against their wishes.	你死后，你父母会违背他们的意愿失去你。
Kiṃ pana te taṃ jīvantaṃ anujānissanti agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajjāya.	So how can they allow you to go forth while you’re still alive?	所以他们怎么能允许你活着的时候出家呢？
Uṭṭhehi, samma raṭṭhapāla, bhuñja ca piva ca paricārehi ca;	Get up, Raṭṭhapāla! Eat, drink, and amuse yourself.	起来吧，拉塔波罗！吃喝玩乐吧。
bhuñjanto pivanto paricārento kāme paribhuñjanto puññāni karonto abhiramassu.	While enjoying sensual pleasures, delight in making merit.	在享受感官乐趣的同时，乐于积德。
Na taṃ mātāpitaro anujānissanti agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajjāya.	Your parents will not allow you to go forth.	你父母不会允许你出家。
Maraṇenapi te mātāpitaro akāmakā vinā bhavissanti.	When you die your parents will lose you against their wishes.	你死后，你父母会违背他们的意愿失去你。
Kiṃ pana te taṃ jīvantaṃ anujānissanti agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajjāyā”ti?	So how can they allow you to go forth while you’re still alive?”	所以他们怎么能允许你活着的时候出家呢？”
Evaṃ vutte, raṭṭhapālo kulaputto tuṇhī ahosi.	When they said this, Raṭṭhapāla kept silent.	当他们这么说时，拉塔波罗保持沉默。

Dutiyampi kho …	For a second time,	第二次，
tatiyampi kho raṭṭhapālassa kulaputtassa sahāyakā raṭṭhapālaṃ kulaputtaṃ etadavocuṃ:	and a third time, Raṭṭhapāla’s friends made the same request.	第三次，拉塔波罗的朋友们提出了同样的要求。
“tvaṃ khosi, samma raṭṭhapāla, mātāpitūnaṃ ekaputtako piyo manāpo sukhedhito sukhaparibhato, na tvaṃ, samma raṭṭhapāla, kassaci dukkhassa jānāsi, maraṇenapi te mātāpitaro akāmakā vinā bhavissanti.

Tatiyampi kho raṭṭhapālo kulaputto tuṇhī ahosi.	And for a third time, Raṭṭhapāla kept silent.	第三次，拉塔波罗仍保持沉默。

Atha kho raṭṭhapālassa kulaputtassa sahāyakā yena raṭṭhapālassa kulaputtassa mātāpitaro tenupasaṅkamiṃsu; upasaṅkamitvā raṭṭhapālassa kulaputtassa mātāpitaro etadavocuṃ:	Then Raṭṭhapāla’s friends went to his parents and said:	于是，拉塔波罗的朋友们走到他父母面前说：
“ammatātā, eso raṭṭhapālo kulaputto tattheva anantarahitāya bhūmiyā nipanno:	“Mum and dad, Raṭṭhapāla is lying there on the bare ground saying:	“爸爸妈妈，拉塔波罗正躺在光秃秃的地上说：
‘idheva me maraṇaṃ bhavissati pabbajjā vā’ti.	‘I’ll either die right here or go forth.’	‘我要么死在这里，要么出家。’
Sace tumhe raṭṭhapālaṃ kulaputtaṃ nānujānissatha agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajjāya, tattheva maraṇaṃ āgamissati.	If you donʼt allow him to go forth, he’ll die there.	如果你们不让他出家，他就会死在那里。
Sace pana tumhe raṭṭhapālaṃ kulaputtaṃ anujānissatha agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajjāya, pabbajitampi naṃ dakkhissatha.	But if you do allow him to go forth, you’ll see him again afterwards.	但如果你们允许他出家，之后你们还会再见到他。
Sace raṭṭhapālo kulaputto nābhiramissati agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajjāya, kā tassa aññā gati bhavissati? Idheva paccāgamissati.	And if he doesnʼt enjoy the renunciate life, where else will he have to go? He’ll come right back here.	如果他不喜欢出家生活，他还能去哪里呢？他会直接回来这里。
Anujānātha raṭṭhapālaṃ kulaputtaṃ agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajjāyā”ti.	Please give Raṭṭhapāla permission to go forth.”	请允许拉塔波罗出家吧。”
“Anujānāma, tātā, raṭṭhapālaṃ kulaputtaṃ agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajjāya.	“Then, dears, we give Raṭṭhapāla permission to go forth.	“那么，亲爱的，我们允许拉塔波罗出家。
Pabbajitena ca pana mātāpitaro uddassetabbā”ti.	But once gone forth he must visit his parents.”	但他出家后必须探望他的父母。”
Atha kho raṭṭhapālassa kulaputtassa sahāyakā yena raṭṭhapālo kulaputto tenupasaṅkamiṃsu; upasaṅkamitvā raṭṭhapālaṃ kulaputtaṃ etadavocuṃ:	Then Raṭṭhapāla’s friends went to him and said:	于是拉塔波罗的朋友们走到他面前说：
“uṭṭhehi, samma raṭṭhapāla, anuññātosi mātāpitūhi agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajjāya.	“Get up, Raṭṭhapāla! Your parents have given you permission to go forth from lay life to homelessness.	“起来吧，拉塔波罗！你的父母已允许你从在家生活出家，过无家生活。
Pabbajitena ca pana te mātāpitaro uddassetabbā”ti.	But once gone forth you must visit your parents.”	但你出家后必须探望你的父母。”

Atha kho raṭṭhapālo kulaputto uṭṭhahitvā balaṃ gāhetvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho raṭṭhapālo kulaputto bhagavantaṃ etadavoca:	Raṭṭhapāla got up and regained his strength. He went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:	拉塔波罗起身，恢复了体力。他来到佛陀面前，向佛陀顶礼，坐到一边，然后对佛陀说：
“anuññāto ahaṃ, bhante, mātāpitūhi agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajjāya.	“Sir, I have my parentsʼ permission to go forth from the lay life to homelessness.	“世尊，我已得到父母的允许，可以从在家生活出家，过无家生活。
Pabbājetu maṃ bhagavā”ti.	May the Buddha please give me the going forth.”	请佛陀允许我出家吧。”
Alattha kho raṭṭhapālo kulaputto bhagavato santike pabbajjaṃ, alattha upasampadaṃ.	And Raṭṭhapāla received the going forth, the ordination in the Buddha’s presence.	于是拉塔波罗获得了出家受戒，在佛陀面前受具足戒。
Atha kho bhagavā acirūpasampanne āyasmante raṭṭhapāle aḍḍhamāsupasampanne thullakoṭṭhike yathābhirantaṃ viharitvā yena sāvatthi tena cārikaṃ pakkāmi.	Not long after Venerable Raṭṭhapāla’s ordination, a fortnight later, the Buddha—having stayed in Thullakoṭṭhita as long as he wished—set out for Sāvatthī.	拉塔波罗尊者受戒后不久，两周后，佛陀——在图拉哥提塔随心所欲地住了一段时间后——动身前往舍卫城。
Anupubbena cārikaṃ caramāno yena sāvatthi tadavasari.	Traveling stage by stage, he arrived at Sāvatthī,	他一路跋涉，抵达舍卫城，
Tatra sudaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.	where he stayed in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.	住在祇树给孤独园。
Atha kho āyasmā raṭṭhapālo eko vūpakaṭṭho appamatto ātāpī pahitatto viharanto nacirasseva—yassatthāya kulaputtā sammadeva agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajanti, tadanuttaraṃ—brahmacariyapariyosānaṃ diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja vihāsi.	Then Venerable Raṭṭhapāla, living alone, withdrawn, diligent, keen, and resolute, soon realized the supreme end of the spiritual path in this very life. He lived having achieved with his own insight the goal for which people from good families rightly go forth from the lay life to homelessness.	然后拉塔波罗尊者独居、离群、精进、热忱、坚定，很快就在此生证得了梵行的最高境界。他以自己的洞察力证得了善男子正当从在家生活出家，过无家生活的目标。
“Khīṇā jāti, vusitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ, kataṃ karaṇīyaṃ, nāparaṃ itthattāyā”ti abbhaññāsi.	He understood: “Rebirth is ended; the spiritual journey has been completed; what had to be done has been done; there is no return to any state of existence.”	他明白：“生死已尽；梵行已立；应做已做；不再有任何存在状态。”
Aññataro kho panāyasmā raṭṭhapālo arahataṃ ahosi.	And Venerable Raṭṭhapāla became one of the perfected.	于是拉塔波罗尊者成为了一位阿罗汉。

Atha kho āyasmā raṭṭhapālo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho āyasmā raṭṭhapālo bhagavantaṃ etadavoca:	Then he went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:	然后他来到佛陀面前，向佛陀顶礼，坐到一边，然后对佛陀说：
“icchāmahaṃ, bhante, mātāpitaro uddassetuṃ, sace maṃ bhagavā anujānātī”ti.	“Sir, I’d like to visit my parents, if the Buddha allows it.”	“世尊，如果佛陀允许，我想探望我的父母。”
Atha kho bhagavā āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa cetasā ceto paricca manasākāsi.	Then the Buddha focused on comprehending Raṭṭhapāla’s mind.	于是佛陀专注于理解拉塔波罗的心意。
Yathā bhagavā aññāsi:	When he knew that	当他知道
“abhabbo kho raṭṭhapālo kulaputto sikkhaṃ paccakkhāya hīnāyāvattitun”ti, atha kho bhagavā āyasmantaṃ raṭṭhapālaṃ etadavoca:	it was impossible for Raṭṭhapāla to reject the training and return to a lesser life, he said:	拉塔波罗不可能放弃修行而回到较低级的俗世生活时，他说：
“yassadāni tvaṃ, raṭṭhapāla, kālaṃ maññasī”ti.	“Please, Raṭṭhapāla, go at your convenience.”	“请便，拉塔波罗，你方便的时候就去吧。”
Atha kho āyasmā raṭṭhapālo uṭṭhāyāsanā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṃ katvā senāsanaṃ saṃsāmetvā pattacīvaramādāya yena thullakoṭṭhikaṃ tena cārikaṃ pakkāmi.	And then Raṭṭhapāla got up from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right. Then he set his lodgings in order and, taking his bowl and robe, set out for Thullakoṭṭhita.	于是拉塔波罗从座位上站起来，向佛陀顶礼，恭敬地右绕佛陀。然后他整理好住处，持钵和僧袍，动身前往图拉哥提塔。
Anupubbena cārikaṃ caramāno yena thullakoṭṭhiko tadavasari.	Traveling stage by stage, he arrived at Thullakoṭṭhika,	他一路跋涉，抵达图拉哥提塔，
Tatra sudaṃ āyasmā raṭṭhapālo thullakoṭṭhike viharati rañño korabyassa migacīre.	where he stayed in King Koravya’s deer range.	住在俱卢维亚国王的鹿苑。
Atha kho āyasmā raṭṭhapālo pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya thullakoṭṭhikaṃ piṇḍāya pāvisi.	Then Raṭṭhapāla robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, entered Thullakoṭṭhita for alms.	然后拉塔波罗清晨着衣，持钵和僧袍，进入图拉哥提塔乞食。
Thullakoṭṭhike sapadānaṃ piṇḍāya caramāno yena sakapitu nivesanaṃ tenupasaṅkami.	Wandering indiscriminately for alms-food, he approached his own father’s house.	漫无目的地乞食，他来到了自己父亲的家。
Tena kho pana samayena āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa pitā majjhimāya dvārasālāya ullikhāpeti.	Now at that time Raṭṭhapāla’s father was having his hair dressed in the hall of the middle gate.	当时拉塔波罗的父亲正在中门厅梳理头发。
Addasā kho āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa pitā āyasmantaṃ raṭṭhapālaṃ dūratova āgacchantaṃ.	He saw Raṭṭhapāla coming off in the distance	他远远地看到拉塔波罗走来
Disvāna etadavoca:	and said:	他说：
“imehi muṇḍakehi samaṇakehi amhākaṃ ekaputtako piyo manāpo pabbājito”ti.	“Our dear and beloved only son was made to go forth by these shavelings, these fake ascetics!”	“我们亲爱而唯一的儿子被这些剃光头、假苦行僧的人逼着出家了！”
Atha kho āyasmā raṭṭhapālo sakapitu nivesane neva dānaṃ alattha na paccakkhānaṃ;	And at his own father’s house Raṭṭhapāla received neither alms nor a polite refusal,	而在他自己父亲的家里，拉塔波罗既没有得到施舍，也没有得到礼貌的拒绝，
aññadatthu akkosameva alattha.	but only abuse.	只有辱骂。
Tena kho pana samayena āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa ñātidāsī ābhidosikaṃ kummāsaṃ chaḍḍetukāmā hoti.	Now at that time a family bondservant wanted to throw away the previous night’s porridge.	当时，一个家仆想把前一晚的粥倒掉。
Atha kho āyasmā raṭṭhapālo taṃ ñātidāsiṃ etadavoca:	So Raṭṭhapāla said to her:	于是拉塔波罗对她说：
“sacetaṃ, bhagini, chaḍḍanīyadhammaṃ, idha me patte ākirā”ti.	“If that’s to be thrown away, sister, pour it here in my bowl.”	“如果那要倒掉，姊妹，把它倒进我的钵里。”
Atha kho āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa ñātidāsī taṃ ābhidosikaṃ kummāsaṃ āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa patte ākirantī hatthānañca pādānañca sarassa ca nimittaṃ aggahesi.	As she was pouring the porridge into his bowl, she recognized the details of his hands, feet, and voice.	当她把粥倒进他的钵里时，她认出了他手、脚和声音的细节。

Atha kho āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa ñātidāsī yenāyasmato raṭṭhapālassa mātā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa mātaraṃ etadavoca:	She then went to his mother and said:	她于是走到他母亲面前说：
“yaggheyye, jāneyyāsi:	“Please, madam, you should know this.	“夫人，请您务必知道这件事。
‘ayyaputto raṭṭhapālo anuppatto’”ti.	My lord Raṭṭhapāla has arrived.”	我的主人拉塔波罗回来了。”
“Sace, je, saccaṃ bhaṇasi, adāsiṃ taṃ karomī”ti.	“Wow! If you speak the truth, I’ll make you a free woman!”	“哇！如果你说的是实话，我就让你自由！”
Atha kho āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa mātā yenāyasmato raṭṭhapālassa pitā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa pitaraṃ etadavoca:	Then Raṭṭhapāla’s mother went to his father and said:	然后拉塔波罗的母亲走到他父亲面前说：
“yagghe, gahapati, jāneyyāsi:	“Please householder, you should know this.	“居士，请您务必知道这件事。
‘raṭṭhapālo kira kulaputto anuppatto’”ti?	It seems our son Raṭṭhapāla has arrived.”	看来我们的儿子拉塔波罗回来了。”
Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā raṭṭhapālo taṃ ābhidosikaṃ kummāsaṃ aññataraṃ kuṭṭamūlaṃ nissāya paribhuñjati.	Now at that time Raṭṭhapāla was eating last night’s porridge by a wall.	当时拉塔波罗正靠着墙吃昨晚的粥。
Atha kho āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa pitā yenāyasmā raṭṭhapālo tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṃ raṭṭhapālaṃ etadavoca:	Then Raṭṭhapāla’s father went up to him and said:	然后拉塔波罗的父亲走到他面前说：
“atthi nāma, tāta raṭṭhapāla, ābhidosikaṃ kummāsaṃ paribhuñjissasi?	“Dear Raṭṭhapāla! There’s … and youʼll be eating last night’s porridge!	“亲爱的拉塔波罗！还有……你竟然在吃昨晚的粥！
Nanu, tāta raṭṭhapāla, sakaṃ gehaṃ gantabban”ti?	Why not go to your own home?”	为什么不去你自己的家呢？”
“Kuto no, gahapati, amhākaṃ gehaṃ agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajitānaṃ?	“Householder, how could those of us who have gone forth from the lay life to homelessness have a house?	“居士，我们这些从在家生活出家，过无家生活的人，怎么会有家呢？
Anagārā mayaṃ, gahapati.	We’re homeless, householder.	我们是无家可归的，居士。
Agamamha kho te, gahapati, gehaṃ, tattha neva dānaṃ alatthamha na paccakkhānaṃ;	I came to your house, but there I received neither alms nor a polite refusal,	我去了你家，但在那里我既没有得到施舍，也没有得到礼貌的拒绝，
aññadatthu akkosameva alatthamhā”ti.	but only abuse.”	只有辱骂。”
“Ehi, tāta raṭṭhapāla, gharaṃ gamissāmā”ti.	“Come, dear Raṭṭhapāla, let’s go to the house.”	“来吧，亲爱的拉塔波罗，我们回家去。”
“Alaṃ, gahapati, kataṃ me ajja bhattakiccaṃ”.	“Enough, householder. My meal is finished for today.”	“够了，居士。我今天的饭已经吃完了。”
“Tena hi, tāta raṭṭhapāla, adhivāsehi svātanāya bhattan”ti.	“Well then, dear Raṭṭhapāla, please accept tomorrow’s meal from me.”	“那么，亲爱的拉塔波罗，请接受我明天的供养。”
Adhivāsesi kho āyasmā raṭṭhapālo tuṇhībhāvena.	Raṭṭhapāla consented in silence.	拉塔波罗默然允诺。
Atha kho āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa pitā āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa adhivāsanaṃ viditvā yena sakaṃ nivesanaṃ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā mahantaṃ hiraññasuvaṇṇassa puñjaṃ kārāpetvā kilañjehi paṭicchādetvā āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa purāṇadutiyikā āmantesi:	Then, knowing that Raṭṭhapāla had accepted, his father went back to his own house. He made a heap of gold coins and bullion and hid it under mats. Then he addressed Raṭṭhapāla’s former wives:	然后，拉塔波罗的父亲知道拉塔波罗已接受，便回到自己家里。他堆了一堆金币和金块，藏在垫子下面。然后他对拉塔波罗的前妻们说：
“etha tumhe, vadhuyo, yena alaṅkārena alaṅkatā pubbe raṭṭhapālassa kulaputtassa piyā hotha manāpā tena alaṅkārena alaṅkarothā”ti.	“Please, daughters-in-law, adorn yourselves in the way that our son Raṭṭhapāla found you most adorable.”	“媳妇们，请你们打扮成我们儿子拉塔波罗觉得你们最可爱的样子。”

Atha kho āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa pitā tassā rattiyā accayena sake nivesane paṇītaṃ khādanīyaṃ bhojanīyaṃ paṭiyādāpetvā āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa kālaṃ ārocesi:	And when the night had passed Raṭṭhapāla’s father had a variety of delicious foods prepared in his own home, and announced the time to the Venerable Raṭṭhapāla, saying:	夜幕降临后，拉塔波罗的父亲在自己家里准备了各种美味佳肴，并通知拉塔波罗尊者时间，说：
“kālo, tāta raṭṭhapāla, niṭṭhitaṃ bhattan”ti.	“Sir, it’s time. The meal is ready.”	“世尊，时间到了。斋饭已备妥。”
Atha kho āyasmā raṭṭhapālo pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya yena sakapitu nivesanaṃ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi. Atha kho āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa pitā taṃ hiraññasuvaṇṇassa puñjaṃ vivarāpetvā āyasmantaṃ raṭṭhapālaṃ etadavoca:	Then Raṭṭhapāla robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, went to his father’s home, and sat down on the seat spread out. Then Raṭṭhapāla’s father, revealing the heap of gold coins and bullion, said to Raṭṭhapāla:	然后拉塔波罗清晨着衣，持钵和僧袍，前往父亲的家，坐在铺好的座位上。然后拉塔波罗的父亲，显露出那堆金币和金块，对拉塔波罗说：
“idaṃ te, tāta raṭṭhapāla, mātu mattikaṃ dhanaṃ, aññaṃ pettikaṃ, aññaṃ pitāmahaṃ.	“Dear Raṭṭhapāla, this is your maternal fortune. There’s another paternal fortune, and an ancestral one.	“亲爱的拉塔波罗，这是你母亲那边的财富。还有一份你父亲那边的财富，以及一份祖传的财富。
Sakkā, tāta raṭṭhapāla, bhoge ca bhuñjituṃ puññāni ca kātuṃ.	You can both enjoy your wealth and make merit.	你可以既享受你的财富又积德。

“Sace me tvaṃ, gahapati, vacanaṃ kareyyāsi, imaṃ hiraññasuvaṇṇassa puñjaṃ sakaṭe āropetvā nibbāhāpetvā majjhegaṅgāya nadiyā sote opilāpeyyāsi.	“If you’d follow my advice, householder, you’d have this heap of gold loaded on a cart and carried away to be dumped in the middle of the Ganges river.	“如果居士您听从我的建议，您会把这堆金子装上马车，运到恒河中间倒掉。
Taṃ kissa hetu?	Why is that?	为什么呢？
Ye uppajjissanti hi te, gahapati, tatonidānaṃ sokaparidevadukkhadomanassupāyāsā”ti.	Because this will bring you nothing but sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress.”	因为这只会给你带来悲伤、哀叹、痛苦、悲伤和苦恼。”
Atha kho āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa purāṇadutiyikā paccekaṃ pādesu gahetvā āyasmantaṃ raṭṭhapālaṃ etadavocuṃ:	Then Raṭṭhapāla’s former wives each clasped his feet and said:	然后拉塔波罗的前妻们各自抱住他的脚说：
“kīdisā nāma tā, ayyaputta, accharāyo yāsaṃ tvaṃ hetu brahmacariyaṃ carasī”ti?	“What are they like, lord, the nymphs for whom you lead the spiritual life?”	“主人，您为之过梵行的仙女们是什么样的呢？”
“Na kho mayaṃ, bhaginī, accharānaṃ hetu brahmacariyaṃ carāmā”ti.	“Sisters, I don’t lead the spiritual life for the sake of nymphs.”	“姊妹们，我不是为了仙女们而过梵行的。”
“Bhaginivādena no ayyaputto raṭṭhapālo samudācaratī”ti tā tattheva mucchitā papatiṃsu.	Saying, “Our lord Raṭṭhapāla refers to us as sisters!” they fainted right away.	她们说：“我们的主人拉塔波罗竟然称我们为姊妹！”她们立刻晕倒了。
Atha kho āyasmā raṭṭhapālo pitaraṃ etadavoca:	Then Raṭṭhapāla said to his father:	然后拉塔波罗对父亲说：
“sace, gahapati, bhojanaṃ dātabbaṃ, detha;	“If there is food to be given, householder, please give it.	“如果有什么食物要施舍，居士，请施舍吧。
mā no viheṭhethā”ti.	But don’t harass me.”	但请不要骚扰我。”
“Bhuñja, tāta raṭṭhapāla, niṭṭhitaṃ bhattan”ti.	“Eat, dear Raṭṭhapāla. The meal is ready.”	“吃吧，亲爱的拉塔波罗。斋饭已备妥。”
Atha kho āyasmato raṭṭhapālassa pitā āyasmantaṃ raṭṭhapālaṃ paṇītena khādanīyena bhojanīyena sahatthā santappesi sampavāresi.	Then Raṭṭhapāla’s father served and satisfied Venerable Raṭṭhapāla with his own hands with a variety of delicious foods.	然后拉塔波罗的父亲亲自以各种美味食物供养并满足了拉塔波罗尊者。

Atha kho āyasmā raṭṭhapālo bhuttāvī onītapattapāṇī ṭhitakova imā gāthā abhāsi:

When he had eaten and washed his hand and bowl, he recited these verses while standing right there:

他吃完并洗手洗钵后，就站在那里，念诵了这些偈颂：

Aṭṭhāpadakatā kesā,	Hair in eight braids	八股的头发

Odahi migavo pāsaṃ,	The hunter laid his snare,	猎人布下陷阱，

Atha kho āyasmā raṭṭhapālo ṭhitakova imā gāthā bhāsitvā yena rañño korabyassa migacīraṃ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā aññatarasmiṃ rukkhamūle divāvihāraṃ nisīdi.

Then Raṭṭhapāla, having recited this verse while standing, went to King Koravya’s deer range and sat at the root of a tree for the day’s meditation.

然后拉塔波罗站在那里念诵完这首偈颂后，前往俱卢维亚国王的鹿苑，坐在一棵树下进行白天的禅修。

Atha kho rājā korabyo migavaṃ āmantesi:	Then King Koravya addressed his gamekeeper:	然后俱卢维亚国王对他的猎场管理员说：
“sodhehi, samma migava, migacīraṃ uyyānabhūmiṃ;	“My good gamekeeper, tidy up the park of the deer range.	“我亲爱的猎场管理员，把鹿苑公园收拾干净。
gacchāma subhūmiṃ dassanāyā”ti.	We will go to see the nice scenery.”	我们要去看看美丽的风景。”
“Evaṃ, devā”ti kho migavo rañño korabyassa paṭissutvā migacīraṃ sodhento addasa āyasmantaṃ raṭṭhapālaṃ aññatarasmiṃ rukkhamūle divāvihāraṃ nisinnaṃ.	“Yes, Your Majesty,” replied the gamekeeper. While tidying the deer range he saw Raṭṭhapāla sitting in meditation.	“是的，陛下。”猎场管理员回答道。在收拾鹿苑时，他看到拉塔波罗坐在那里禅修。
Disvāna yena rājā korabyo tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā rājānaṃ korabyaṃ etadavoca:	Seeing this, he went to the king, and said:	看到这，他去见国王，说：
“suddhaṃ kho te, deva, migacīraṃ.	“The deer range is tidy, sire.	“陛下，鹿苑已收拾干净。
Atthi cettha raṭṭhapālo nāma kulaputto imasmiṃyeva thullakoṭṭhike aggakulassa putto yassa tvaṃ abhiṇhaṃ kittayamāno ahosi, so aññatarasmiṃ rukkhamūle divāvihāraṃ nisinno”ti.	And the respectable person named Raṭṭhapāla, the son of the leading clan in Thullakoṭṭhita, of whom you have often spoken highly, is meditating there at the root of a tree.”	而且您经常称赞的那位受尊敬的人，图拉哥提塔主要家族的儿子，名叫拉塔波罗的，正在一棵树下禅修。”
“Tena hi, samma migava, alaṃ dānajja uyyānabhūmiyā.	“Well then, my good gamekeeper, that’s enough of the park for today.	“那么，我亲爱的猎场管理员，今天的公园就够了。
Tameva dāni mayaṃ bhavantaṃ raṭṭhapālaṃ payirupāsissāmā”ti.	Now I shall pay homage to the Master Raṭṭhapāla.”	现在我要去拜见拉塔波罗大师。”
Atha kho rājā korabyo “yaṃ tattha khādanīyaṃ bhojanīyaṃ paṭiyattaṃ taṃ sabbaṃ vissajjethā”ti vatvā bhadrāni bhadrāni yānāni yojāpetvā bhadraṃ yānaṃ abhiruhitvā bhadrehi bhadrehi yānehi thullakoṭṭhikamhā niyyāsi mahaccarājānubhāvena āyasmantaṃ raṭṭhapālaṃ dassanāya.	And then King Koravya said: “Give away all the different foods that have been prepared there.” He had the finest carriages harnessed. Then he mounted a fine carriage and, along with other fine carriages, set out in full royal pomp from Thullakoṭṭhita to see Raṭṭhapāla.	然后俱卢维亚国王说：“把那里准备好的所有食物都分发出去。”他命人套上最好的马车。然后他乘上一辆豪华马车，并带着其他豪华马车，以隆重的王室排场从图拉哥提塔出发去见拉塔波罗。
Yāvatikā yānassa bhūmi yānena gantvā yānā paccorohitvā pattikova ussaṭāya ussaṭāya parisāya yenāyasmā raṭṭhapālo tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmatā raṭṭhapālena saddhiṃ sammodi. Sammodanīyaṃ kathaṃ sāraṇīyaṃ vītisāretvā ekamantaṃ aṭṭhāsi. Ekamantaṃ ṭhito kho rājā korabyo āyasmantaṃ raṭṭhapālaṃ etadavoca:	He went by carriage as far as the terrain allowed, then descended and approached Raṭṭhapāla on foot, together with a group of eminent officials. They exchanged greetings, and, when the greetings and polite conversation were over, he stood to one side, and said to Raṭṭhapāla:	他乘马车行进到地形允许的地方，然后下车，与一群显赫的官员一同步行接近拉塔波罗。他们互相问候，问候和礼貌的交谈结束后，他站到一边，对拉塔波罗说：
“idha bhavaṃ raṭṭhapālo hatthatthare nisīdatū”ti.	“Here, Master Raṭṭhapāla, sit on this elephant rug.”	“拉塔波罗大师，请坐在这张象毯上。”
“Alaṃ, mahārāja, nisīda tvaṃ;	“Enough, great king, you sit on it.	“够了，大王，您坐吧。
nisinno ahaṃ sake āsane”ti.	I’m sitting on my own seat.”	我正坐在我自己的座位上。”
Nisīdi rājā korabyo paññatte āsane. Nisajja kho rājā korabyo āyasmantaṃ raṭṭhapālaṃ etadavoca:	So the king sat down on the seat spread out, and said:	于是国王坐在铺好的座位上，说：

“Cattārimāni, bho raṭṭhapāla, pārijuññāni yehi pārijuññehi samannāgatā idhekacce kesamassuṃ ohāretvā kāsāyāni vatthāni acchādetvā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajanti.	“Master Raṭṭhapāla, there are these four kinds of decay. Because of these, some people shave off their hair and beard, dress in ocher robes, and go forth from the lay life to homelessness.	“拉塔波罗大师，有这四种衰败。因为这些，有些人会剃掉头发和胡须，穿上赭色僧袍，从在家生活出家，过无家生活。
Katamāni cattāri?	What four?	哪四种？

Katamañca, bho raṭṭhapāla, jarāpārijuññaṃ?	And what is decay due to old age?	什么是年老衰败？
Idha, bho raṭṭhapāla, ekacco jiṇṇo hoti vuḍḍho mahallako addhagato vayoanuppatto.	It’s when someone is old, elderly, and senior, advanced in years, and has reached the final stage of life.	就是当一个人年老、年迈、年长、年事已高、已达生命最后阶段时。
So iti paṭisañcikkhati:	They reflect:	他们反思：
‘ahaṃ khomhi etarahi jiṇṇo vuḍḍho mahallako addhagato vayoanuppatto.	‘I’m now old, elderly, and senior. I’m advanced in years and have reached the final stage of life.	‘我现在年老、年迈、年长。我年事已高，已达生命最后阶段。
Na kho pana mayā sukaraṃ anadhigataṃ vā bhogaṃ adhigantuṃ adhigataṃ vā bhogaṃ phātiṃ kātuṃ.	It’s not easy for me to acquire more wealth or to increase the wealth I’ve already acquired.	对我来说，获取更多财富或增加已有的财富并不容易。
Yannūnāhaṃ kesamassuṃ ohāretvā kāsāyāni vatthāni acchādetvā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajeyyan’ti.	Why don’t I shave off my hair and beard, dress in ocher robes, and go forth from the lay life to homelessness?’	我何不剃掉头发和胡须，穿上赭色僧袍，从在家生活出家，过无家生活呢？’
So tena jarāpārijuññena samannāgato kesamassuṃ ohāretvā kāsāyāni vatthāni acchādetvā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajati.	So because of that decay due to old age they go forth.	所以因为年老衰败他们出家。
Idaṃ vuccati, bho raṭṭhapāla, jarāpārijuññaṃ.	This is called decay due to old age.	这称为年老衰败。
Bhavaṃ kho pana raṭṭhapālo etarahi daharo yuvā susukāḷakeso bhadrena yobbanena samannāgato paṭhamena vayasā.	But Master Raṭṭhapāla is now a youth, young, black-haired, blessed with youth, in the prime of life.	但拉塔波罗大师现在还年轻，黑发，青春年少，正值壮年。
Taṃ bhoto raṭṭhapālassa jarāpārijuññaṃ natthi.	You have no decay due to old age.	你没有年老衰败。
Kiṃ bhavaṃ raṭṭhapālo ñatvā vā disvā vā sutvā vā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajito? (1)	So what did you know or see or hear that made you go forth?	那么你了解、看到或听到什么，让你出家了呢？

Katamañca, bho raṭṭhapāla, byādhipārijuññaṃ?	And what is decay due to sickness?	什么是疾病衰败？
Idha, bho raṭṭhapāla, ekacco ābādhiko hoti dukkhito bāḷhagilāno.	It’s when someone is sick, suffering, gravely ill.	就是当一个人有病，受苦，病重。
