Visuddhimagga IV-96

Tathā girikaṇḍakavihārassa upanissaye vattakālakagāme ekā kuladhītāpi balavabuddhārammaṇāya ubbegāpītiyā ākāse laṅghesi.

又如在结利根达迦精舍附近的跋多迦罗迦村中的一位良家的女子,由于现起强力的佛陀所缘,跃入空中。

Ñ(IV,96): And this was what happened to the daughter of a clan in the village of Vattakālaka near the Girikaṇḍaka Monastery when she sprang up into the air owing to strong uplifting happiness with the Enlightened One as object.



Tassā kira mātāpitaro sāyaṃ dhammassavanatthāya vihāraṃ gacchantā ‘‘amma tvaṃ garubhārā akāle vicarituṃ na sakkosi, mayaṃ tuyhaṃ pattiṃ katvā dhammaṃ sossāmā’’ti agamaṃsu.

据说:那女子的父母,一天晚上要到寺院去闻法,[PTS 144] 对她说:「女儿啊!你已怀妊,这时候是不能出去的,我们前去闻法,替你祝福吧。」

Ñ: As her parents were about to go to the monastery in the evening, it seems, in order to hear the Dhamma [144], they told her: 'My dear, you are expecting a child; you cannot go out at an unsuitable time. We shall hear the Dhamma and gain merit for you'. So they went out.



Sā gantukāmāpi tesaṃ vacanaṃ paṭibāhituṃ asakkontī ghare ohīyitvā gharājire ṭhatvā candālokena girikaṇḍake ākāsacetiyaṅgaṇaṃ olokentī cetiyassa dīpapūjaṃ addasa, catasso ca parisā mālāgandhādīhi cetiyapūjaṃ katvā padakkhiṇaṃ karontiyo bhikkhusaṅghassa ca gaṇasajjhāyasaddaṃ assosi.

她虽然想去,但不能拒绝双亲的话,留在家里,独立于庭前,在月色之下,远望结利根达迦精舍内耸立于空中的塔尖,看见供养于塔的油灯,四众以花香供养及右绕于塔,并且听见比丘僧的念诵之声。

Ñ: And though she wanted to go too, she could not well object to what they said. She stepped out of the house onto a balcony and stood looking at the Ākāsacetiya Shrine at Girikaṇḍaka lit by the moon. She saw the offering of lamps at the shrine, and the four communities as they circumambulated it to the right after making their offerings of flowers and perfumes; and she heard the sound of the massed recital by the Community of Bhikkhus.



Athassā ‘‘dhaññāvatime, ye vihāraṃ gantvā evarūpe cetiyaṅgaṇe anusañcarituṃ, evarūpañca madhuradhammakathaṃ sotuṃ labhantī’’ti muttarāsisadisaṃ cetiyaṃ passantiyā eva ubbegāpīti udapādi.

于是那女想道:「那些去到塔寺的人,在这样的塔园中步行,获得听闻这样的妙法,是何等幸福!」于是她望见那(灯光庄严)犹如真珠所聚的塔寺而生起了踊跃喜。

Ñ: Then she thought: 'How lucky they are to be able to go to the monastery and wander round such a shrine terrace and listen to such sweet preaching of Dhamma!'. Seeing the shrine as a mound of pearls and arousing uplifting happiness,



Sā ākāse laṅghitvā mātāpitūnaṃ purimataraṃyeva ākāsato cetiyaṅgaṇe oruyha cetiyaṃ vanditvā dhammaṃ suṇamānā aṭṭhāsi.

她便跃入空中,在她的父母到达之前,即从空中降落于塔园中,礼拜塔庙已站在那里听法。

Ñ: she sprang up into the air, and before her parents arrived she came down from the air into the shrine terrace, where she paid homage and stood listening to the Dhamma.
