| a1+ | ... ([for] seven days ... they were put under pressure at that time. [11d] Then spoke Ānanda), confused by suffering, with folded hands, lamenting, (the[se] words to the omniscient: ) |
|---|
| a2 | (Oh shelter [and] refuge, oh lord, do not leave us. In the directions) I have gone astray, all confused I am through the suffering. |
|---|
| a2 | (The laws heard I had grasped), |
|---|
| a2 | [but] all I have forgotten, |
|---|
| a2+ | [by myself alone] (the burden) will not be borne. |
|---|
| a3 | (One may not have trust in the births and the Saṃsāra here. That which is) named (dveṣa), the great displeasure came over the Buddha. |
|---|
| a3 | [12d] |
|---|
| a3+ | There came believers inhabitants from the town of Śrāvastī and laypeople in hundreds ... |
|---|
| a4 | They are sprinkling the whole earth [with water]. |
|---|
| a4 | The Buddha they saw in [his] appearance, the same [did] separately the monks. |
|---|
| a4+ | The assembly that came saw the Buddha, [the one] which was unhappy and tormented, |
|---|
| a5 | [and] he proclaimed the law: |
|---|
| a5+ | "If the beings do the deeds themselves, they will themselves receive the terrible fruit from this in their births. |
|---|
| a6 | [13d] |
|---|
| a6 | The miserable beings were blamed themselves, |
|---|
| a6 | let evoke false thought |
|---|
| a6 | and put blame onto the good. |
|---|
| a6+ | I see no other hell as great as when onto the good they put blame [and] unfounded slander. |
|---|
| a7 | Here good ones [are] called those, who stand in pure moral behavior, in the discipline of monkhood, of novitiate and of lay brotherhood, which also in the eight-fold discipline even stand day and night. |
|---|
| a7+ | If [one] on such [good ones] puts blame and slander without reason, [14d] will therefore, when he dies, be [re]born in hell) many times |
|---|
| a8 | [and] see [there] many births [and] many sufferings. |
|---|
| a8+ | The many Buddhas, when they arise in the world, already indicate one another the miserable hell-being. |
|---|
| b1 | The zeal such a one takes from the good beings. |
|---|
| b1 | With such an arrow of speaking blame he strikes them in the heart. |
|---|
| b1+ | Reason, service, also meditation, the spiritual virtues he steals from them. |
|---|
| b2 | [15d] |
|---|
| b2 | Of many beings it disturbs the thought, |
|---|
| b2 | onto the law of the Buddha he strews the dust of blame, |
|---|
| b2+ | in the believers heart he brings depression, |
|---|
| b3 | he gives joy to the disbelievers |
|---|
| b3 | and gives [them] the opportunity to speak [blame]). |
|---|
| b3 | [If] with a sword I make a wound on the body, with powder [and] ointment the flesh comes into being again. |
|---|
| b3+ | For the deep wound of blame there is no powder, no cure, no ointments [and] cleansing medicine. |
|---|
| b4 | [16d] |
|---|
| b4 | He takes from him the life of [moral] behavior, |
|---|
| b4+ | and for the entire world he creates doubt about the virtues (of this one)." |
|---|
| b5 | (Soon that one [will not be] bearable to) all beings, |
|---|
| b5 | they will be in doubt, disturbed and are looking askance towards him. |
|---|
| b5+ | What should Buddha, even if ... with seven jewels ... ([have to do] with a heap of remains put in [the ditch]?). |
|---|
| b6 | Rather someone else has slain her with his own hand |
|---|
| b6 | and spoke unfounded blame against the Buddha, even though moral behaviour has been kept up. |
|---|
| b6 | [17d] |
|---|
| b6+ | From the monks one (will have to obtain what one has learned, for they have heard the laws.) |
|---|
| b7 | The monks here at [their] own wish go) from the house |
|---|
| b7 | [and] become teachers. |
|---|
| b7 | (Will you then) not (be able to accomplish what needs to be accomplished of the law)? |
|---|
| b7+ | Of/from/by the Buddha (are) these (great) without (measure) (the good law ...) |
|---|
| b8 | (Of/from/by the worthy it must still be recognized, all) this is the power of the monks. |
|---|
| b8 | [18d] |
|---|
| b8 | Therefore ... |
|---|
| a2+ | Die gehörten Gesetze hatte ich erfasst, [aber] alles habe ich vergessen, es wird von mir (allein) nicht getragen die Last(?). (Schmidt 1974: 262) |
|---|
| a3 | Dieser große Unwille kam dem Buddha. (Schmidt 1974: 75) |
|---|
| a4 | If the beings do the deeds [out of] themselves, they receive themselves the terrible fruit of it in the [re]births. (cf : ii, 24–25) (Peyrot 2013b: 680) |
|---|
| a5 | Wenn die Wesen [aus sich] selbst die Taten tun, genießen sie eben selbst die schreckliche Frucht davon in den Geburten. (Schmidt 1974: 200, 490) |
|---|
| a6 | Die unglücklichen Wesen machten sich selbst schlecht; sie hatten falsche Ansicht hervorgebracht und legten Tadel auf die Guten. (Schmidt 1974: 316-7) |
|---|
| a6+ | I do not see another hell [that is] so large as when they put unfounded blame and evil rumour on the good. (cf : ii, 25) (Peyrot 2013b: 710) |
|---|
| a8 | If [someone] puts blame and evil rumour on him without reason [lit. deed], he dies because of that [and] is [re]born in hell, many times, [for] many [re]births, and he suffers [lit. sees] many sorrows. (cf : ii, 25) (Peyrot 2013b: 710) |
|---|
| a8+ | Die vielen Buddhas weisen schon, [wenn] sie in der Welt aufstehen, einer den anderen auf das unglücklich[ste] Höllenwesen hin. (Schmidt 1974: 322) |
|---|
| b1 | Den Eifer nimmt ein solcher den guten Wesen. (Schmidt 1974: 408) |
|---|
| b1 | Mit solchem Pfeil des Tadelsprechens trifft er sie [scil. die guten] ins Herz. (Schmidt 1974: 368) |
|---|
| b2 | Auf das Gesetz des Buddha streut er den Staub des Tadels. (Schmidt 1974: 292) |
|---|
| b5 | Sie werden zweifelsvoll, gestört [und] scheelen Blickes auf ihn. (Schmidt 1974: 110) |
|---|
| b6 | Nicht möchte er unbegründeten Tadel von Guten, die die [sittliche] Haltung bewahrt haben, [aus]sprechen. (Schmidt 1974: 500, fn. 9) |
|---|
| b7 | Die Mönche gehen hier (auf) [ihren] Wunsch aus dem Hause [und] werden Lehrer. (Schmidt 1974: 298) |
