MN 86 · 鸯掘利马喇经
347如是我闻：有一次，世尊住在舍卫城的祇树给孤独园。那时，憍萨罗国波斯匿王的领土中，有个盗贼名叫央掘魔罗，他凶残暴虐，双手沾满鲜血，耽溺于杀害和打击，对众生毫无怜悯。他让村落不再是村落，城镇不再是城镇，地区不再是地区。他不断杀人之后，把割下的手指串成花鬘戴在身上。那时，世尊在上午穿好下衣，拿着钵和衣，进入舍卫城乞食。在舍卫城托钵完毕，吃完饭回来，收好坐卧具，拿起钵和衣，便朝盗贼央掘魔罗所在的那条路走去。牧牛者、牧人、农夫、行路人看见世尊正朝盗贼央掘魔罗所在的路走去。看见之后，他们对世尊说：‘沙门，别走这条路。沙门，这条路上有个盗贼名叫央掘魔罗，凶残暴虐，双手沾满鲜血，耽溺于杀害和打击，对众生毫无怜悯。他让村落不再是村落，城镇不再是城镇，地区不再是地区。他不断杀人之后，把割下的手指串成花鬘戴在身上。沙门，这条路就算是十个人、二十个人、三十个人、四十个人、五十个人结伴同行，他们还是会落入盗贼央掘魔罗的手中。’听了这话，世尊默然，继续前行。第二次，那些牧牛者……第三次，牧牛者、牧人、农夫、行路人对世尊说：‘沙门，别走这条路。沙门，这条路上有个盗贼名叫央掘魔罗，凶残暴虐，双手沾满鲜血，耽溺于杀害和打击，对众生毫无怜悯。他让村落不再是村落，城镇不再是城镇，地区不再是地区。他不断杀人之后，把割下的手指串成花鬘戴在身上。沙门，这条路就算是十个人、二十个人、三十个人、四十个人、五十个人结伴同行，他们还是会落入盗贼央掘魔罗的手中。’

348然后，世尊默然，继续前行。盗贼央掘魔罗远远看见世尊走来。看见之后，他心里想：‘真是稀有啊，真是未曾有啊！这条路就算十个人、二十个人、三十个人、四十个人、五十个人结伴而行，都会落到我手里。可是这个沙门，孤身一人，没有同伴，竟然像强行闯来似的走过来。我不如把这个沙门杀掉算了。’于是，盗贼央掘魔罗拿起剑和盾，背好弓箭，从后面紧紧追赶世尊。那时，世尊现起那样的神通变化，使得盗贼央掘魔罗用尽全力奔跑，却怎么也追不上正常行走的世尊。盗贼央掘魔罗心里想：‘真是稀有啊，真是未曾有啊！以前，奔跑的大象我都能追上抓住，奔跑的马我都能追上抓住，奔跑的车我都能追上抓住，奔跑的鹿我都能追上抓住。可是现在，这个沙门只是正常地走，我用尽全力跑，却追不上他。’他停下来，对世尊说：‘停下，停下，沙门！’‘我已经停下了，央掘魔罗，你也该停下。’盗贼央掘魔罗又想：‘这些释迦子出身的沙门都是说真实语、宣示真实的人。可这个沙门明明在走，却说“我已经停下了，央掘魔罗，你也该停下”。我不如问问这个沙门。’

349于是，盗贼央掘魔罗用偈颂对世尊说：
Atha kho coro aṅgulimālo bhagavantaṃ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi –
4‘你走着，却说“我已停下”，沙门，
‘‘Gacchaṃ vadesi samaṇa ṭhitomhi,
5你却对我说，我没停下；
Mamañca brūsi ṭhitamaṭṭhitoti;
6我问你，沙门，这个道理，
Pucchāmi taṃ samaṇa etamatthaṃ,
7‘你说你已停下，我却没有停下？’
Kathaṃ ṭhito tvaṃ ahamaṭṭhitomhī’’ti.
8‘央掘魔罗，我早已永住于停止，
‘‘Ṭhito ahaṃ aṅgulimāla sabbadā,
9我对一切众生皆放下了暴力；
Sabbesu bhūtesu nidhāya daṇḍaṃ;
10而你对于生命却毫无节制，
Tuvañca pāṇesu asaññatosi,
11所以我是真正停下的人，你才未曾停下。’
Tasmā ṭhitohaṃ tuvamaṭṭhitosī’’ti.
12‘长久以来，确实，那位受人敬仰的大仙人，
‘‘Cirassaṃ vata me mahito mahesī,
13那说真实者进入了大林
Mahāvanaṃ pāpuṇi saccavādī ;
14我将舍弃罪恶而行走
Sohaṃ carissāmi pahāya pāpaṃ ,
15听到了你那与法相应的偈颂
Sutvāna gāthaṃ tava dhammayuttaṃ’’.
16就这样，那盗贼将利剑与武器
Itveva coro asimāvudhañca,
17抛入深渊、悬崖、地狱般的深坑
Sobbhe papāte narake akiri;
18那盗贼顶礼善逝的双足
Avandi coro sugatassa pāde,
19就在那里，他请求出家。
Tattheva naṃ pabbajjaṃ ayāci.
20那位佛陀，大悲的圣者，
Buddho ca kho kāruṇiko mahesi,
21这包括天界在内的世间之师；
Yo satthā lokassa sadevakassa;
22那时便对他说：“来，比丘。”
‘Tamehi bhikkhū’ti tadā avoca,
23这便成就了他的比丘之身。
Eseva tassa ahu bhikkhubhāvoti.
350那时，世尊以具寿央掘魔罗为随行沙门，朝着舍卫城的方向游化。一路次第游化，最终抵达了舍卫城。在那里，世尊便住在舍卫城的祇树给孤独园。而就在那时，在拘萨罗王波斯匿的内宫门前，聚集了一大群人，高声大呼：‘陛下！在您的国土里，有一个盗贼，名叫央掘魔罗，他凶残暴虐，满手血腥，耽溺于杀戮，对所有生灵毫无悲悯。因为他，村庄不再是村庄，城镇不再是城镇，聚落不再是聚落。他不断地杀人，砍下他们的手指做成花鬘。陛下，请去阻止他吧！’

25那时，憍萨罗国王波斯匿带着大约五百匹马，在大白天从舍卫城出发。他往园子的方向进去。车子能到的地方就乘车，到了车子走不了的地方就下车，步行朝世尊那边去。走近以后，他向世尊行礼，坐在一边。世尊对坐在一边的憍萨罗国王波斯匿说：'大王，是怎么回事呢？是摩揭陀国的斯尼耶·频婆娑罗王惹你生气了，还是毗舍离的离车人，或是其他的敌对国王？''尊者，不是摩揭陀国的斯尼耶·频婆娑罗王惹我生气，也不是毗舍离的离车人，更不是其他的敌对国王。尊者，我的国土里有个盗贼，名叫央掘魔罗，残暴，双手沾满血，沉迷于杀戮和暴力，对一切众生毫无怜悯。因为他，村庄不再是村庄，城镇不再是城镇，聚落不再是聚落。他不断地杀人，然后把手指串成花鬘戴着。尊者，我是要去制止他的。''大王，如果你看到央掘魔罗剃掉了头发和胡须，穿着袈裟衣，从在家出家，成为无家之人，远离了杀生，远离了偷盗，远离了妄语，一天只吃一餐，修梵行，持戒，具足善法，你会怎么对待他？''尊者，我们会向他行礼，会起身迎接他，会请他坐下，会尽力供养他衣服、饮食、住处和生病所需的医药资具，还会为他安排如法的保护、防卫和守护。可是，尊者，像他那样一个破了戒、品行恶劣的人，哪里会有这样的戒律和自制呢？'

26就在那时，央掘魔罗尊者正坐在离世尊不远的地方。于是，世尊伸出右手，对憍萨罗国王波斯匿说：'大王，这就是央掘魔罗。'那时候，憍萨罗国王波斯匿立刻感到恐惧，浑身僵硬，汗毛直竖。世尊知道憍萨罗国王波斯匿心中害怕、惊恐、汗毛直竖，就对他说：'大王，不要害怕，你在这里已经没有什么可以害怕的了。'这时，憍萨罗国王波斯匿心中的恐惧、僵硬和毛骨悚然的感觉，就都平息了下来。然后，憍萨罗国王波斯匿走到央掘魔罗尊者那边去。走近了，他对央掘魔罗尊者说：'尊者，我们的圣者就是央掘魔罗吗？''是的，大王。''尊者，圣者的父亲是什么族姓，母亲是什么族姓？''大王，我的父亲是嘎嘎，母亲是曼答尼。''愿嘎嘎和曼答尼的儿子圣者心安住。我会为嘎嘎和曼答尼的儿子圣者提供衣服、饮食、住处和生病所需的医药资具。'

351那时候，央掘魔罗尊者是一位住在森林里的比丘，靠托钵乞食为生，穿着粪扫衣，只持有三衣。于是，央掘魔罗尊者对憍萨罗国王波斯匿说：'大王，够了。我的衣服已经足够了。'接着，憍萨罗国王波斯匿又往世尊那边去。走近之后，向世尊行礼，坐在一边。坐在一边的憍萨罗国王波斯匿对世尊说：'太奇妙了，尊者！太不可思议了，尊者！世尊您能调伏那些未被调伏的，能安抚那些未被安抚的，能让那些尚未彻底熄灭的人彻底熄灭。尊者，我们用了武力、用了刑罚都没能制伏的人，世尊您不动用武力、不动用刑罚，就把他调伏了。好了，尊者，我们现在要告辞了。我们还有许多事务，许多该办的事情。''大王，现在是时候了，你觉得合适的话，就请吧。'那时，憍萨罗国王波斯匿从座位起身，向世尊行礼，右绕一圈，就离开了。

28然后，央掘魔罗尊者在午前穿好下衣，拿着钵和外衣，进入舍卫城乞食。就在那时，有人向央掘魔罗尊者的身上扔土块，有人向他扔棍棒，有人向他扔石头。于是，央掘魔罗尊者头破血流，钵也碎了，桑喀帝也被撕破，就这样来到世尊那里。世尊从远处看到央掘魔罗尊者走来。看到他之后，世尊对央掘魔罗尊者说：“你承受吧，婆罗门！你承受吧，婆罗门！婆罗门，那业报本会使你在地狱中受苦许多年、许多百年、许多千年，但婆罗门，你如今就在现法中感受了那业的果报。”之后，央掘魔罗尊者独自在静处，感受解脱之乐，当时诵出了这首感兴偈：

29'那么，央掘魔罗，你去找那位妇女那里。见到她以后，这样对她说：姊妹，自从我出生以来，不知道故意夺取生命的生命，以这真实语，祝你平安，祝胎儿平安。'
‘‘Tena hi tvaṃ, aṅgulimāla, yena sā itthī tenupasaṅkama; upasaṅkamitvā taṃ itthiṃ evaṃ vadehi – ‘yatohaṃ, bhagini, jāto nābhijānāmi sañcicca pāṇaṃ jīvitā voropetā, tena saccena sotthi te hotu, sotthi gabbhassā’’’ti.
30'可是，尊者，如果那样说，我就成了故意的妄语了。尊者，我过去确实故意夺取过许多生命啊。''那么，央掘魔罗，你去找那位妇女那里。见到她以后，这样对她说：姊妹，自从我以圣者之生而生以来，不知道故意夺取生命的生命，以这真实语，祝你平安，祝胎儿平安。'
‘‘So hi nūna me, bhante, sampajānamusāvādo bhavissati.

31“是的，尊者。”央掘魔罗尊者回应世尊后，便去那位妇女那里。到了之后，他对那位妇女这样说：“姊妹，自从我以圣者之生而生以来，我不记得自己曾故意夺取过众生的生命。凭借这一真实语，愿你平安，愿胎儿平安。”于是，那位妇女便获得了平安，胎儿也获得了平安。
‘‘Evaṃ, bhante’’ti kho āyasmā aṅgulimālo bhagavato paṭissutvā yena sā itthī tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā taṃ itthiṃ etadavoca – ‘‘yatohaṃ, bhagini, ariyāya jātiyā jāto, nābhijānāmi sañcicca pāṇaṃ jīvitā voropetā, tena saccena sotthi te hotu, sotthi gabbhassā’’ti. Atha khvāssā itthiyā sotthi ahosi, sotthi gabbhassa.
32之后，央掘魔罗尊者独自远离、不放逸、精勤、坚定地安住，不久便亲自以胜智于现法中作证、达到并住于那无上的梵行之终——正是为了这个目标，善男子们正确地离家而出家。他了知：“生已尽，梵行已立，应作已作，不再有像这样（轮回）的状态了。”就这样，央掘魔罗尊者成为了阿拉汉中的一位。

352然后，央掘魔罗尊者在午前时分，穿好下衣，拿着钵和上衣，进入舍卫城托钵乞食。当央掘魔罗尊者在舍卫城沿街挨家挨户地乞食时，看见一位妇女，胎儿卡在腹中，痛苦万分。看到这一幕，他心里就想：'唉，众生真的是受苦啊！唉，众生真的是受苦啊！'之后，央掘魔罗尊者在舍卫城托钵完毕，吃过饭食，托钵回归后，就往世尊那边去。走近了，向世尊行礼，坐在一边。坐在一边的央掘魔罗尊者对世尊说：'尊者，我今天午前时分，穿好下衣，拿着钵和上衣，进入舍卫城去乞食。尊者，我在舍卫城沿街挨家挨户乞食的时候，看见一位妇女，胎儿卡在腹中，痛苦万分。看到这个情景，我心想：唉，众生真的是受苦啊！唉，众生真的是受苦啊！'

34先前曾放逸，后来不放逸；
‘‘Yo pubbeva pamajjitvā, pacchā so nappamajjati;
