19.1

（一九）佛說長阿含第二分大會經第十五

(19) The Great Assembly Sūtra, the Fifteenth, in the Second Section of the Dīrghāgama Spoken by the Buddha

Thus I have heard: One time, the Buddha was staying at Kapilavastu in the country of the Śākyans. He was accompanied by a large assembly of five hundred monks, all of whom were arhats. Marvelous gods had also gathered from the ten directions to honor the Tathāgata and the saṅgha of monks.

19.2

如是我聞：

Thus have I heard:

19.3

一時，佛在釋翅提國迦維林中，與大比丘眾五百人俱，盡是羅漢，復有十方諸神妙天皆來集會，禮敬如來及比丘僧。

At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Shakya country, in the Kapilavastu grove, together with a great assembly of five hundred bhikṣus, all of whom were arhats. Furthermore, the wonderful devas of the ten directions all assembled there to pay homage and reverence to the Tathāgata and the saṅgha of bhikṣus.

19.4

時，四淨居天即於天上各自念言：「今者，世尊在釋翅提迦維林中，與大比丘眾五百人俱，盡得阿羅漢，復有十方諸神妙天皆來集會，禮敬如來及比丘僧。我等今者亦可往共詣世尊所，各當以偈稱讚如來。」

At that time, the devas of the four Śuddhāvāsa heavens thought to themselves while up in heaven: “The Bhagavat is now dwelling in the Shakya country, in the Kapilavastu grove, together with a great assembly of five hundred bhikṣus, all of whom have attained arhatship. Furthermore, the wonderful devas of the ten directions have all assembled to pay homage and reverence to the Tathāgata and the saṅgha of bhikṣus. We too should go together to the Bhagavat’s dwelling, each praising the Tathāgata with a verse.”

It was then that four Śuddhâvāsa gods up in heaven each thought to themselves, “Today, the Bhagavān is staying at Kapilavastu in the country of the Śākyans. He’s accompanied by a large assembly of five hundred monks, all of whom are arhats. Marvelous gods have also gathered from the ten directions to honor the Tathāgata and the saṅgha of monks. Now, let’s go visit the Bhagavān as well. We’ll each praise the Tathāgata with a verse.”

19.5

時，四淨居天猶如力士屈伸臂頃，於彼天沒，至釋翅提迦維林中。爾時，四淨居天到已，頭面禮足，在一面立。時，一淨居天即於佛前，以偈讚曰：

Then, as quickly as a strong man flexing and extending his arm, the devas of the four Śuddhāvāsa heavens vanished from that heaven and arrived in the Kapilavastu grove in the Shakya country. Upon their arrival, the devas of the four Śuddhāvāsa heavens touched their heads and faces to his feet in homage, and stood to one side. Then one Śuddhāvāsa deva praised him before the Buddha with a verse, saying:

Those four Śuddhâvāsa gods then disappeared from their heaven and arrived at Kapilavastu of the Śākyans in the time it takes a strong man to flex his arm. Once they had arrived, those four Śuddhâvāsa gods bowed their heads at the Buddha’s feet and stood to one side.

The first Śuddhâvāsa god went before the Buddha and praised him with this verse:

19.6

「今日大眾會，諸天神普集；
皆為法故來，欲禮無上眾。」

“Today there is a great gathering of the assembly, / With all the devas and spirits gathered together; / All have come for the sake of the Dharma, / Wishing to pay homage to the unsurpassed assembly.”

“Today, a great congregation
Of gods and spirits has gathered.
They’ve come for the Dharma
And to bow to the supreme assembly.”

19.7

說此偈已，退一面立。時，一淨居天復作頌曰：

Having spoken this verse, he withdrew and stood to one side. Then another Śuddhāvāsa deva spoke a verse, saying:

After speaking this verse, that god withdrew and stood to one side. Another Śuddhâvāsa god then composed a verse:

19.8

「比丘見眾穢，端心自防護；
欲如海吞流，智者護諸根。」

“The bhikṣu perceives all impurities, / And protects himself with an upright mind; / Desires are like an ocean swallowing streams, / The wise one guards the sense faculties.”

“Monks see the many defilements;
Their upright minds guard against them.
Desire is like the sea swallowing rivers;
The wise guard their faculties against it.”

19.9

說是偈已，退一面立。時，一淨居天復作頌曰：

Having spoken this verse, he withdrew and stood to one side. Then another Śuddhāvāsa deva spoke a verse, saying:

Having spoken this verse, that god withdrew and stood to one side. Another Śuddhâvāsa god then composed a verse:

19.10

「斷刺平愛坑，及填無明壍；
獨遊清淨場，如善象調御。」

“Severing thorns, leveling the pit of longing, / And filling the moat of ignorance; / He roams alone in the field of purity, / Like a well-tamed, noble elephant.”

“Remove thorns, level craving’s chasm,
And fill the trench of ignorance.
Trek alone to the site of purity
Like excellent, well-trained elephants.”

19.11

說此偈已，退一面立。時，一淨居天復作頌曰：

Having spoken this verse, he withdrew and stood to one side. Then another Śuddhāvāsa deva spoke a verse, saying:

Having spoken this verse, that god withdrew and stood to one side. Another Śuddhâvāsa god composed a verse:

19.12

「諸歸依佛者，終不墮惡趣；
捨此人中形，受天清淨身。」

“All who take refuge in the Buddha / Will never fall into the evil destinies; / Casting off this human form, / They will receive a pure celestial body.”

“Taking refuge in the Buddha,
One never falls to a bad destiny.
They abandon their human forms
And receive the pure bodies of gods.”

19.13

爾時，四淨居天說此偈已，世尊印可，即禮佛足，遶佛三匝，忽然不現。其去未久，佛告諸比丘：「今者諸天大集，今者諸天大集，十方諸神妙天無不來此禮覲如來及比丘僧。諸比丘！過去諸如來、至真、等正覺亦有諸天大集，如我今日；當來諸如來、至真、等正覺亦有諸天大集，如我今日。諸比丘！今者諸天大集，十方諸神妙天無不來此禮覲如來及比丘僧，亦當稱彼名號，為其說偈。比丘當知：

At that time, when the devas of the four Śuddhāvāsa heavens had spoken these verses, the Bhagavat gave his approval. They immediately paid homage to the Buddha’s feet, circumambulated the Buddha three times, and suddenly disappeared. Not long after their departure, the Buddha told the bhikṣus: “Today there is a great gathering of devas! Today there is a great gathering of devas! None among the wonderful devas of the ten directions has failed to come here to pay homage to the Tathāgata and the saṅgha of bhikṣus. Bhikṣus! For the past Tathāgatas, arhats, samyaksaṃbuddhas, there were also great gatherings of devas, just as for me today. For the future Tathāgatas, arhats, samyaksaṃbuddhas, there will also be great gatherings of devas, just as for me today. Bhikṣus! Today there is a great gathering of devas; none among the wonderful devas of the ten directions has failed to come here to pay homage to the Tathāgata and the saṅgha of bhikṣus. I shall also proclaim their names and speak verses for them. Bhikṣus, you should know:

After those four Śuddhâvāsa gods had presented these verses, the Bhagavān approved of them. They bowed at the Buddha’s feet, circled him three times, and suddenly disappeared.

Not long after they left, the Buddha told the monks, “There’s a great congregation of gods today! There’s a great gathering of gods today! Marvelous gods from the ten directions have come to honor and look upon the Tathāgata and saṅgha of monks. Monks, the Tathāgatas, Arhats, and Completely Awakened Ones of the past also had great congregations of gods, just as I do today. The Tathāgatas, Arhats, and Completely Awakened Ones in the future will have great congregations of gods, just as I do today.

“Monks, this great congregation of gods today consists of spirits and sublime gods from the ten directions who’ve come to honor and look upon the Tathāgata and saṅgha of monks. They also praise their names in verses that they speak for you.

“Monks, you should know:

19.14

「諸依地山谷，隱藏見可畏；
身著純白衣，潔淨無垢穢。
天人聞此已，皆歸於梵天；
今我稱其名，次第無錯謬。
諸天眾今來，比丘汝當知；
世間凡人智，百中不見一。
何由乃能見，鬼神七萬眾？
若見十萬鬼，猶不見一邊；
何況諸鬼神，周遍於天下。」

“Those dwelling in the earth, mountains, and valleys, / Concealed and fearsome to behold, / Are dressed in pure white robes, / Spotless and free of defilement. / Devas and humans, having heard this, / All take refuge in Brahmā; / Now I proclaim their names, / In sequence without error. / The hosts of devas have now arrived; / Bhikṣus, you should know: / The intellect of ordinary mortals in the world / Cannot see even one in a hundred. / How could they ever be able to see / The seventy-thousand-strong host of spirits? / Even if one saw a hundred thousand spirits, / One would still not see a fraction of them, / How much less all the spirits / Pervading the entire world!”

“Living in the Earth’s mountains and valleys,
They hide when they see terrible things.
Those wearing all white clothes
Are pure and immaculate.
When the gods and people hear this,
They take refuge in the god Brahmā.

“Now, I will praise their names
In order, without any missing.
This assembly of gods has come today;
You monks should know them.

“All the worldly people’s knowledge
Doesn’t see a hundredth of them.
How then could they see
The assembly of 70,000 demon spirits?
If they saw 100,000 demons,
They haven’t seen all of them on one side.
How could they see the demon spirits
That are everywhere under heaven?

19.15

地神有七千悅叉若干種，皆有神足、形貌、色像、名稱，懷歡喜心來到比丘眾林中。時，有雪山神將六千鬼悅叉若干種，皆有神足、形貌、色像、名稱，懷歡喜心來到比丘眾林中。有一舍羅神將三千鬼悅叉若干種，皆有神足、形貌、色像、名稱，懷歡喜心來到比丘眾林中。此萬六千鬼神悅叉若干種，皆有神足、形貌、色像、名稱，懷歡喜心來到比丘眾林中。

There were seven thousand earth spirits of various kinds of yakṣas, all possessing supernormal powers, bodily forms, appearances, and renowed reputations, who came with joyful minds into the grove of the bhikṣu assembly. Then there was a spirit of the snowy mountains who led six thousand spirits, various kinds of yakṣas, all possessing supernormal powers, bodily forms, appearances, and renowned reputations, who came with joyful minds into the grove of the bhikṣu assembly.

“Among the earth spirits, there are 7,000 yakṣas of various kinds that possess miraculous powers, appearances, forms, and names. With delighted thoughts, they’ve come to the assembly of monks in this grove.

“The spirit of Mount Haimavata leads 6,000 demons and yakṣas of various kinds that possess miraculous powers, appearances, forms, and names. With delighted thoughts, they’ve come to the assembly of monks in this grove.

“These 16,000 demon spirits and yakṣas of various kinds possess miraculous abilities, appearances, forms, and names. With delighted thoughts, they’ve come to the assembly of monks in this grove.

19.16

復有毘波蜜神，住在馬國，將五百鬼，皆有神足、威德。復有金毘羅神，住王舍城毘富羅山，將無數鬼神恭敬圍遶。復有東方提頭賴吒天王，領乾沓惒神，有大威德，有九十一子，盡字因陀羅，皆有大神力。南方毗樓勒天王，領諸龍王，有大威德，有九十一子，亦字因陀羅，有大神力。西方毗樓博叉天王，領諸鳩槃茶鬼，有大威德，有九十一子，亦字因陀羅，有大神力。北方天王名毗沙門，領諸悅叉鬼，有大威德，有九十一子，亦字因陀羅，有大神力。此四天王護持世者，有大威德，身放光明，來詣迦維林中。

Furthermore, there was the spirit Viśvāmitra, dwelling in the country of Aśva, leading five hundred spirits, all possessing supernormal powers and majestic virtue. Furthermore, there was the spirit Kumbhīra, dwelling on Mount Vipula in Rājagṛha, reverently surrounded by countless spirits. Furthermore, there was Dhṛtarāṣṭra, Heavenly King of the East, ruling over the gandharva spirits, of great majestic virtue, having ninety-one sons, all named Indra, who all possessed great supernormal powers.

These Four Heavenly Kings, protectors of the world, of great majestic virtue, emitting radiance from their bodies, came to the Kapilavastu grove.

“There’s also the spirit Viśvamitra who lives in Aśvaka and leads 500 demons. They possess miraculous abilities and majestic virtue.

“There’s also the spirit Kumbhīra who lives on Mount Vepula of Rājagṛha. He leads countless demon spirits who respectfully surround him.

“These four god kings are the protectors of the world and possess great majestic virtue. Their bodies shine as they come to visit Kapilavastu.”

19.17

爾時，世尊欲降其幻偽虛妄之心，故結呪曰：

At that time, the Bhagavat, wishing to subdue their deceitful and false minds, uttered an incantation, saying:

The Bhagavān then wanted to vanquish their illusory and deluded thoughts, so he composed this incantation: “Deceptive (māyā) is [Kiṭi]; deceptive is [Kiṭi]! [So is Vikiṭi; so is Vikiṭi]! Candana, Kāmaśreṣtha, Kunikaṇṭha, Nikaṇṭha, Praṇāda, Upapañcaka, the charioteer of gods Mātali, the gandharva Citrasena, Nara, Janavṛṣabha, Sīva, Mucalinda, Viśvamitra, Yugandhara, [Pañcaśikha], Tumburu, and Sūryavarcasā.

19.18

「摩拘樓羅摩拘樓羅　毗樓羅毗樓羅　[旃-方+示]陀那加摩世致　迦尼延豆　尼延豆　波那攎嗚呼奴奴主　提婆蘇暮　摩頭羅　支多羅斯那　乾沓波　那羅主　闍尼沙　尸呵　無蓮陀羅　鼻波蜜多羅　樹塵陀羅　那閭尼呵　斗浮樓　輸支婆迹婆」

19.19

如是，諸王乾沓婆及羅剎皆有神足、形貌、色像，懷歡喜心來詣比丘眾林中。爾時，世尊復結呪曰：

In this way, the kings, gandharvas, and rākṣasas all possessed supernormal powers, bodily forms, and appearances, and came with joyful minds to the grove of the bhikṣu assembly. At that time, the Bhagavat again uttered an incantation, saying:

“God kings, gandharvas, and rākṣasas such as these all possess miraculous abilities, appearances, and forms. With delighted thoughts, they have come to visit the assembly of monks in this grove.”

The Bhagavān then created another incantation:

19.20

「阿醯　那陀瑟　那頭　毗舍離　沙呵　帶叉蛇　婆提　提頭賴吒　帝婆　沙呵　若利耶　加毘羅　攝波那伽　阿陀伽摩　天提伽　伊羅婆陀　摩呵那伽　毘摩那伽多　陀伽陀餘　那伽羅闍　婆呵沙呵　叉奇提　婆提羅帝　婆提羅帝　毘枚大迹閦　毘呵四　婆嚀　阿婆婆四　質多羅　速和尼那　求四多　阿婆由　那伽羅除　阿四　修跋羅　薩帝奴　阿伽　佛陀灑　失羅嚀　婆耶　憂羅頭婆延樓　素槃㝹　佛頭　舍羅㝹　伽類樓」

“Then, the nāga Nāgasā came from Vaiśāla with Takṣaka.
The Yamunā dhṛtarāṣṭras came, as did [Tiva] with their kin.
Kambalas, aśvataras, and nāgas of great miraculous ability have come.
The great nāga Airāvaṇa and the nāga [Vima] have come.
“Of the clear-eyed heavenly birds that hunt the nāga kings,
The colorful Suparṇa came to the grove from the sky.
The nāga kings are unafraid, for the Buddha [makes them safe from Suparṇa].
Greeting them with gentle words, Suparṇa took refuge in the Buddha.”

19.21

爾時，世尊為阿修羅而結呪曰：

At that time, the Bhagavat uttered an incantation for the asuras, saying:

The Bhagavān then created an incantation for the asuras:

19.22

「祇陀　跋闍　呵諦　三物第　阿修羅　阿失陀　婆延地　婆三婆四　伊弟阿陀　提婆摩　天地　伽黎妙　摩呵祕摩　阿修羅　陀那祕羅陀　鞞摩質兜樓　修質諦麗　婆羅呵黎　無夷連那婆　舍黎阿細　跋黎　弗多羅那　薩鞞　鞞樓耶那那迷　薩那迷諦　婆黎　細如　羅耶跋兜樓　伊呵菴婆羅迷　三摩由伊　陀那　跋陀若　比丘那　三彌涕　泥拔」

“Defeated by Vajrahastena, the asuras fled to the ocean;
Vāsavassi frightened them with his great miraculous power.
The asuras were Kālakañja, Mahābhīmṣa, [Dānaveghasā],
Vemacitra, Sucitra, Prahlāda, Mucilinda, and [Nava].
A hundred of [Asi-?] Bali’s children, all named Vairocana,
[prepared Bali’s army and approached] the fortunate Rāhu:
‘Now is the time, sir. The monks have gathered in a grove.’”

19.23

爾時，世尊復為諸天而結呪曰：

At that time, the Bhagavat again uttered an incantation for the devas, saying:

The Bhagavān again created an incantation for the gods:

19.24

「阿浮　提婆　萆犁醯陛　提豫　婆由　多陀㝹　跋樓㝹　婆樓尼　世帝蘇彌　耶舍阿頭　彌多羅婆　伽羅那移婆　阿邏　提婆　摩天梯與　陀舍提舍　伽予　薩鞞　那難多羅婆跋那　伊地槃大　讎地　槃那槃大　耶舍卑㝹　暮陀婆那　阿醯揵大　比丘那　婆朱弟　婆尼　鞞弩　提步　舍伽利　阿醯地　勇迷　那剎帝隷富羅息幾大　阿陀蔓　陀羅　婆羅鞞栴大蘇　婆尼捎　提婆　阿陀[旃-方+示]陀　富羅翅支大　蘇黎耶蘇婆尼捎　提婆　阿陀　蘇提耶　富羅翅大　摩伽陀　婆蘇因　圖攎阿頭　釋拘　富羅大攎　叔伽　伽羅摩　羅那阿大　鞞摩尼婆　嗚婆提　奇呵　波羅無呵　鞞婆羅　微阿尼　薩陀摩多　阿呵黎　彌沙阿尼鉢讎[菟-(色-巴)+(〦-一)]歎奴阿　攎余提舍阿醯跋沙　賒摩　摩呵賒摩　摩[菟-(色-巴)+(〦-一)]沙阿　摩[菟-(色-巴)+(〦-一)]䟽多摩　乞陀波頭灑阿陀摩　[菟-(色-巴)+(〦-一)]波頭灑阿　醯阿羅夜　提婆　阿陀　黎陀夜　婆私　波羅　摩訶　波羅阿陀　提婆摩天　梯夜　差摩　兜率陀　夜摩　伽沙尼阿尼　藍鞞藍婆折帝　樹提　那摩伊灑　念摩羅提　阿陀醯　波羅念彌大　阿醯　提婆　提婆　闍蘭提　阿奇　尸吁波　摩阿栗吒攎耶　嗚摩　浮浮　尼婆私遮婆　陀暮　阿周陀　阿尼　輸豆檀耶　[菟-(色-巴)+(〦-一)]阿頭　阿邏　毘沙門伊灑」

“The gods of water, earth, fire, and air have come.
Varuṇā, goddesses Vāruṇī, Soma, and Yaśas have come.
Maitrā and Varuṇā’s host of gods with great miraculous power have come.
These ten groups of gods have a variety of colors.
With great miraculous power, authority, and appearances, they were glorious.
They’re delighted to come to the assembled monks in this grove.
The gods Viṣṇu, Sahalī, Āgataś, and Yama [have come.]
The Mandavavalāhakā [gods] came with the constellations leading them.
The gods who lived on the moon have come with the moon leading them.
The gods who lived on the sun have come with the sun leading them.
The munificent Indra, [known as] Vāsava, Śakra, and the fortress-breaker, has come.
Śukla and Kaḍambā Karuṇā have come.
[Vemaniva?], supreme Avadātagrāhyā, and [Vepalana?] have come.
Sadāmattā, Hāritakā, and Miśarikāś have come.
Parjanya came with a thunderclap, who brings rain in the four directions.
The gods corrupted by play, Śyāmā, Mahāśyāmā, Mānuṣā, and Amānuṣottamā, have come.
The gods corrupted in spirit, too.
Again, the Haraya gods have come as well as the gods clothed in red.
The gods of great miraculous power, Varāhā and Mahāvarāhā, have come.
The gods Kṣemakā, Tuṣita, and Yāmā and countless kṛṣṇakas (black ones),

The Nirmanaratayah have come, and the Paranirmita[vaśavartin], too.
The gods Agniśikhopamā and Sabhikā [have come] with goddesses who burn brightly.
Ariṣṭhakā, [Royā], gods like the flax flower, [Cabadharma?], Acyutā, and Aneka,
[Śuddhaka Rucika] has come, and Vāsavanesī has arrived, too.
These are the sixty kinds of gods.”

19.25

此是六十種天。爾時，世尊復為六十八五通婆羅門而結呪曰：

These are the sixty kinds of devas. At that time, the Bhagavat again uttered an incantation for the sixty-eight brāhmaṇas with the five supernormal knowledges, saying:

The Bhagavān again created an incantation for sixty-eight priests of the five penetrations:

19.27

爾時，復有千五通婆羅門，如來亦為結呪。時，此世界第一梵王及諸梵天皆有神通，有一梵童子名曰提舍，有大神力。復有十方餘梵天王，各與眷屬圍遶而來。復越千世界，有大梵王見諸大眾在世尊所，尋與眷屬圍遶而來。

At that time, there were also one thousand brāhmaṇas with the five supernormal knowledges, for whom the Tathāgata likewise uttered an incantation. At that time, the foremost Brahmā king of this world and the various Brahmā devas all possessed supernormal powers; there was a Brahmā youth named Tisya who possessed great supernormal powers. Furthermore, there were the other Brahmā kings of the ten directions, each arriving surrounded by his retinue. Furthermore, crossing a thousand worlds, there was a Great Brahmā King who saw the great assembly around the Bhagavat and immediately came, surrounded by his retinue.

There was then another 1,000 five-powered priests for whom the Tathāgata also compiled an incantation.

The first Brahma king of this world and the gods of the Brahma heavens possessed miraculous abilities. There was a Brahma prince named Tiṣya who possessed great miraculous power.

There was also the other Brahma kings of the ten directions, each of whom was surrounded by their followers as they came. There was a great Brahma king from beyond 1,000 worlds who saw the great congregations of the Bhagavān. He came quickly with his followers surrounding him.

19.28

爾時，魔王見諸大眾在世尊所，懷毒害心，即自念言：「我當將諸鬼兵往壞彼眾，圍遶盡取，不令有遺。」時，即召四兵，以手拍車，聲如霹靂，諸有見者無不驚怖，放大風雨、雷電、霹靂，向迦維林圍繞大眾。

At that time, the demon king Māra saw the great assembly around the Bhagavat, and harbouring a malicious mind, thought to himself: “I shall lead my demonic army to destroy that assembly, surrounding and capturing them completely without leaving anyone behind.” Immediately, he summoned the four divisions of his army and slapped his chariot with his hands, making a sound like a thunderclap, such that none who saw or heard it failed to be terrified. Unleashing great wind and rain, thunder, lightning, and thunderbolts, he advanced toward the Kapilavastu grove to surround the great assembly.

King Māra saw the great congregation around the Bhagavān and had a cruel thought. He thought to himself, “I’ll lead an army of demons to go and destroy that entire congregation. I won’t let any of them escape!”

He then commanded his fourfold army to beat their chariots with their hands, which sounded like crashing thunder. None who saw them weren’t frightened by it. He sent a great storm of wind, rain, lightning, and thunder at that great congregation that surrounded Kapila Grove.

19.29

佛告諸比丘樂此眾者：「汝等當知，今日魔眾懷惡而來。」於是頌曰：

The Buddha told the bhikṣus who took joy in this assembly: “You should know that today the host of Māra has come harbouring evil.” Thereupon he spoke a verse, saying:

The Buddha addressed the monks who were delighted with this assembly: “You should know that today Māra’s host is coming with evil intent!”

He then said in verse:

19.30

「汝今當敬順，建立於佛法；
當滅此魔眾，如象壞花藂。
專念無放逸，具足於淨戒；
定意自念惟，善護其志意。
若於正法中，能不放逸者；
則度老死地，永盡諸苦本。
諸弟子聞已，當勤加精進；
超度於眾欲，一毛不傾動。
此眾為最勝，有大智名聞；
弟子皆勇猛，為眾之所敬。」

“You should now revere, follow, / And establish yourselves in the Buddha’s Dharma; / You shall destroy this host of Māra, / As an elephant crushes a cluster of blossoms. / Mindful, free from heedlessness, / Fully endowed with pure morality; / With concentrated mind and personal reflection, / Guarding your intentions well. / If within the True Dharma / One is capable of being heedless no more, / One will cross over the realm of aging and death, / And bring a permanent end to the root of all suffering. / The disciples, having heard this, / Should strive diligently with vigour; / Transcending all desires, / Not a single hair is shaken. / This assembly is the most supreme, / Possessing great wisdom and renown; / The disciples are all courageous, / Revered by the assembly.”

“Now, you should be respectful
And establish the Buddha’s Dharma.
You must destroy this host of Māra
Like elephants trampling flowers and grass.

Focus your attention without carelessness
And perfect the pure precepts.
Still your minds, think naturally,
And guard your intentions well.

If in the correct teaching
You can not be careless,
You’ll be freed from old age and death
And forever end the source of suffering.

After disciples hear this,
They diligently make effort.
Transcending the myriad desires,
Not a single hair of theirs is disturbed.

This assembly is the greatest;
It possesses great knowledge and renown.
It’s disciples are courageous
And respected by the community.”

19.31

爾時，諸天、神、鬼、五通仙人皆集迦維園中，見魔所為，怪未曾有。佛說此法時，八萬四千諸天遠塵離垢，得法眼淨。諸天、龍、鬼、神、阿修羅、迦樓羅、真陀羅、摩睺羅伽、人與非人聞佛所說，歡喜奉行。

At that time, all the devas, spirits, ghosts, and ṛṣis endowed with the five supernormal knowledges gathered in the Kapilavastu park. Seeing what Māra had done, they considered it unprecedented. When the Buddha spoke this Dharma, eighty-four thousand devas separated from dust and removed defilement, attaining the purity of the Dharma eye. The devas, nāgas, ghosts, spirits, asuras, garuḍas, kiṃnaras, mahoragas, humans, and non-humans, having heard what the Buddha spoke, rejoiced and undertook to practice it.

The gods, spirits, yakṣas, and sages of five powers who surrounded the Buddha saw what Māra was doing and were shocked like never before. When the Buddha taught this Dharma, 84,000 gods became removed from dust and free of defilement, and their vision of the Dharma was purified.

The gods, nāgas, yakṣas, spirits, asuras, garuḍas, kiṃnara, mahoragas, humans, and non-humans who heard what the Buddha taught rejoiced and approved.
