Visuddhimagga IX-27

Seyyathidaṃ, sīlavajātake tāva attano deviyā paduṭṭhena pāpaamaccena ānītassa paṭirañño tiyojanasataṃ rajjaṃ gaṇhantassa nisedhanatthāya uṭṭhitānaṃ amaccānaṃ āvudhampi chupituṃ na adāsi.

即：（一）如具戒王的本生故事(sīlavajātaka)：因为（具戒王的）恶大臣瞋恨王后，（跑到敌国去）引来敌王，占领了他的王国三百由旬，但他为防自己的臣子起来反抗，不许他们去拿武器。

Ñ(IX,27): 'For example, in the Sīlavant Birth Story (Jā.i,261) when his friends rose to prevent his kingdom of three hundred leagues being seized by an enemy king who had been incited by a wicked minister in whose mind his own queen had sown hate for him, he did not allow them to lift a weapon.

Puna saddhiṃ amaccasahassena āmakasusāne galappamāṇaṃ bhūmiṃ khaṇitvā nikhaññamāno cittappadosamattampi akatvā kuṇapakhādanatthaṃ āgatānaṃ siṅgālānaṃ paṃsuviyūhanaṃ nissāya purisakāraṃ katvā paṭiladdhajīvito yakkhānubhāvena attano sirigabbhaṃ oruyha sirisayane sayitaṃ paccatthikaṃ disvā kopaṃ akatvāva aññamaññaṃ sapathaṃ katvā taṃ mittaṭṭhāne ṭhapayitvā āha –

于是和他的臣下一千人（都为敌王所捕）于墓场上挖了一土坑深至头颈而被埋下，但他的心中亦不生瞋，结果为了要来吃尸体的野干挖去泥土，加以人力（出坑）而全性命，再由夜叉的神力助他到达自己的宫殿，看见敌王睡在自己的床上，不但不生瞋，而且互相发誓作朋友，并说：

Ñ: Again when he was buried, along with a thousand companions, up to the neck in a hole dug in the earth in a charnel ground, he had no thought of hate. And when, after saving his life by a heroic effort helped by jackals scraping away soil when they had come to devour the corpses, he went with the aid of a spirit to his own bedroom and saw his enemy lying on his own bed, he was not angry but treated him as a friend, undertaking a mutual pledge, and he then exclaimed:

‘‘Āsīsetheva puriso, na nibbindeyya paṇḍito;

Passāmi vohamattānaṃ, yathā icchiṃ tathā ahū’’ti. (jā. 1.1.51);

「人必抱着希望，贤者莫自厌弃，

正如我见自己，得以遂愿而成」。

Ñ: "The brave aspire, the wise will not lose heart;

I see myself as I had wished to be" (Jā.i,267).
