Visuddhimagga I-159

Apica –

如次当知：

Ñ(I,159): Furthermore: [58]

Tassa pāsādikaṃ hoti, pattacīvaradhāraṇaṃ;

Pabbajjā saphalā tassa, yassa sīlaṃ sunimmalaṃ.

[PTS 058] 净戒无垢者， 彼为人信乐，

受持衣与钵， 出家而有果。

Ñ: His virtue is immaculate,

His wearing of the bowl and robes

Gives pleasure and inspires trust,

His going forth will bear its fruit.

Attānuvādādibhayaṃ, suddhasīlassa bhikkhuno;

Andhakāraṃ viya raviṃ, hadayaṃ nāvagāhati.

净戒比丘心， 如暗不侵日，

自责等怖畏， 无从而潜入。

Ñ: A bhikkhu in his virtue pure

Has never fear that self-reproach

Will enter in his heart: indeed

There is no darkness in the sun.

Sīlasampattiyā bhikkhu, sobhamāno tapovane;

Pabhāsampattiyā cando, gagane viya sobhati.

比丘戒成就， 苦行林光耀，

犹如盛满月， 高悬虚空照。

Ñ: A bhikkhu in his virtue bright

Shines forth in the Ascetics' Wood

As by the brightness of his beams

The moon lights up the firmament.

Kāyagandhopi pāmojjaṃ, sīlavantassa bhikkhuno;

Karoti api devānaṃ, sīlagandhe kathāva kā.

具戒之比丘， 身香亦可喜，

甚至诸天悦； 戒香何须说？

Ñ: Now if the bodily perfume

Of virtuous bhikkhus can succeed

In pleasing even deities,

What of the perfume of his virtue?

Sabbesaṃ gandhajātānaṃ, sampattiṃ abhibhuyyati;

Avighātī disā sabbā, sīlagandho pavāyati.

一切诸香中， 戒香最为胜，

此香熏[xūn]十方， 而无有障碍。

Ñ: It is more perfect far than all

The other perfumes in the world,

Because the perfume virtue gives

Is borne unchecked in all directions.

Appakāpi katā kārā, sīlavante mahapphalā;

Hontīti sīlavā hoti, pūjāsakkārabhājanaṃ.

奉侍具戒者， 作少而果大，

故以彼为器， 供养与恭敬。

Ñ: The deeds done for a virtuous man,

Though they be few, will bear much fruit,

And so the virtuous man becomes

A vessel of honour and renown.

Sīlavantaṃ na bādhanti, āsavā diṭṭhadhammikā;

Samparāyikadukkhānaṃ, mūlaṃ khanati sīlavā.

具戒于今世， 不为诸漏害，

他世诸苦根， 因缘亦断绝。

Ñ: There are no cankers here and now

To plague the virtuous man at all;

The virtuous man digs out the root

Of suffering in lives to come.

Sayādaw U Sīlānanda: [cankers => danger]. Han: Burmese translation: danger called cankers. Cannot ignore “cankers” because there is “āsava” in the Pāḷi text.

Yā manussesu sampatti, yā ca devesu sampadā;

Na sā sampannasīlassa, icchato hoti dullabhā.

不论人间福， 以及诸天福，

具戒者有愿， 实非难得事。

Ñ: Perfection among human kind

And even among deities,

If wished for, is not hard to gain

For him whose virtue is perfected;

Accantasantā pana yā, ayaṃ nibbānasampadā;

Mano sampannasīlassa, tameva anudhāvati.

诸戒成就者， 彼心常追逐[zhú]：

无上涅盘德， 究竟寂静乐。

Ñ: But once his virtue is perfected,

His mind then seeks no other kind

Than the perfection of nibbāna,

The state where utter peace prevails.

Sabbasampattimūlamhi, sīlamhi iti paṇḍito;

Anekākāravokāraṃ, ānisaṃsaṃ vibhāvayeti.

诸乐根本戒， 此中多行相，

种种诸功德， 智者应辨别。

Ñ: Such is the blessed fruit of virtue,

Showing full many a varied form,

So let a wise man know it well

This root of all perfection's branches.
