Translation

a1 They were taking care of the rice porridge. High up it went continually, but not even a little sprinkled outside. The signs Cakra, Svastika, and Nandyāvarta were appearing in it. On earth [and] in the sky the signs of good omen were constantly seen.
a1+ In [the tune] ṣāḍava-fat-milk:
a2 The Ājīvika Upaga who was going around there came to this place. He saw the cooking rice porridge. He was astonished [and] did not go away. He considered these signs, compared [them] with the teaching and suddenly he understood:
a2+ "The one who eats this rice porridge will win incomparable wisdom."
a3 A wish arose [in] him: "How at all could I get to eat this rice porridge?" He was going nearby and was saying a blessing. In the meantime the rice porridge became ready.
a3+ Out of the crystal bowl they poured it
a4 - the bowl held not a whole mutkāntse - [and] it stood completely in the jewel bowl.
a4+ Bringing pleasure by its sight it is good in appearance, good in smell, good in taste provided with good omens.
a5 The Ājīvika Upaga went to the sisters and said to them: "Little sisters, I am one who has left the house. As a recipient I am a worthy one. So, give only me this rice porridge as alms.
a5+ These said to him:
a6 "You shall not eat this rice porridge. There is a stranger, a sage who exerted himself in ascesis [and] (is) the best among the sages – to him we [will] give this rice porridge as alms." The desire of Upaga was destroyed
a6+ and he went his way.
a7 In [the tune] tesakaccām: Nānda lifted up the rice porridge, Nandābala, her sister, walked behind her. They set out [and] entered the forest to seek a worthy one, a great sage. Indra descended, changed [into] the guise of a sage [and] they saw him having sat down under a tree.
a7+ They brought him the rice porridge
a8 [and] said to him: "Accept the alms from us, o sage." Without interval the god Brahma descended a bit away [and] sat down in a hermitage in a magnificent manner. The god Indra having changed [into] the guise of a sage said to them:
a8+ "Little sisters, are you giving those alms to me, or do you give it to somebody who is better than me?"
a9 Nandā [and] Nandabalā said: "Who is better than you, to him we give it." Thus the god Indra guided them to the god Brahma [and] said to them:
a9+ "Little sisters, this sage is better than me.
a10 Then bring it to him!" Having rejoiced they set out to the god Brahma, venerated him [and] holding the rice porridge in hands they say to him, in [the tune] young novice: "Sages were indicated to us [and] you alone are the best sage.
a10+ Make a loving thought manifest in us.
b1 Accept these alms and do not reject us, god! But, will our long cherished wish be fulfilled nevertheless? God Brahma said to them: "Little sisters, who may be a better sage than me, do you give it to him, or do you give that precisely to me?" They said:
b1+ "If we are able to bring (up) somebody better than you, we will give it to him
b2 while we leave you [alone]." Without delay not far the Śuddhāvāsa-gods having donned the guise of sages sat down under the trees. God Brahma said to them: "Little sisters, those sages are better than me."
b3 Thereupon the sisters took the rice porridge, came to the Śuddhāvāsa-gods [and] said to them: "O great sages, if you are better than all, then receive this rice porridge! If you are not, tell us who is the sage that is better than all,
b3+ so that to him indeed we bring it."
b4 In [the tune] skampaumaśśaṃśko: In the meantime the Bodhisattva descended into the river Nairañjanā. He bathed and washed all of his limbs [and] rags. The gods bended [down] an Arjuna-tree; this he took. He went out of the river Nairañjanā
b4+ [and] donned the Kāṣāya-garment.
b5 At the bank of the river he sat under the Nyagrodha-tree in the grass. The Śuddhāvāsa-gods said to Nandā [and] Nandabalā: "This sage is the best of all.
b5+ You cannot bring (up) anyone better [and] worthier of gifts than him there;
b6 him alone bring the rice porridge! Thereupon they set out to the Bodhisattva rejoicing. In piety they venerated him
b6+ [and] having taken [up] the rice porridge they say to the Bodhisattva,
b7 in [the tune] ṣṭakkumo: "O ascetic great sage, accept this sixteen time turned rice porridge from us. May through these alms all benefits be realised for you,
b7+ and may our cherished wish be fulfilled!
b8 The venerable Bodhisattva accepted the rice porridge from Nandā [and] Nandabalā [as] alms. Thus having taken [it] he said to them: "Little sisters, is this jewel bowl given up by you or not?"
b8+ They said:
b9 "Venerable one, it is left by us. The rice porridge, together with the jewel bowl, will be in precisely your possession!
b9+ Thereupon the Bodhisattva accepted the rice porridge after having set [it] in front [of him] without having adhered to the thought in taste consecutively.
b10 After having given up [eating] he thought: "This will be my last accepting of alms at all in the state of the unenlightened. I will not accept (any) alms as long as I do not drive off false conception and kleśas. Thereupon ...

b8 Der ehrwürdige Bodhisattva nahm von Nandā [und] Nandabalā den Brei als Almosen entgegen. (Schmidt 1974: 201)

b10 Als er [scil. der Bodhisattva] [seine Mahlzeit] beendet hatte, dachte er bei sich: Dies soll mein allerletztes Almosengenießen im Pṛthagjana-Stande sein; solange werde ich nicht [mehr] Almosen genießen, bis ich die Vāsanā [falsche Vorstellung] [und] die Kleśas [Trübungen] beseitigt habe [wtl. wie ich nicht die V. [und] die K. entferne]. (Schmidt 1974: 344-5)

Philological commentary

n2 According to Pinault 2008: 120 ṣaḍap is a loan from Skt. ṣāḍava- 'confectionary'. In Sanskrit it is also the name of a Rāga.
n4 The correction cauk ykene is based on Pinault 2008: 121f.
n9 wrocceṃ corrected according to Sieg and Siegling 1953: 41 fn. 10.
n11 pintwāt corrected according to Sieg and Siegling 1953: 41 fn. 11.
n13 pintwāt corrected according to Sieg and Siegling 1953: 42 fn. 1.
n15 bram-ñikteś corrected according to Sieg and Siegling 1953: 42 fn. 2.
n17 pintwāt and praṅkäst-me corrected according to Sieg and Siegling 1953: 42 fn. 5 and 6.
n21 laiś is corrected to läś for läc by Sieg and Siegling 1953: 42 fn. 2 and to laś by Pinault 2008: 148. However, it seems to be a regular variant of laś/lac (see Linguistic commentary).

n27 pintwāt corrected according to Sieg and Siegling 1953: 43 fn. 6.
