27.41
王白佛言:「猶如有人問瓜報李,問李報瓜。彼亦如是,我問現得報不?而彼答我無罪福報。我即自念言:『我是剎利王,水澆頭種,無緣殺出家人,繫縛驅遣。』時,我懷忿結心,作此念已,即便捨去。」
The king said to the Buddha, “It was like someone asking about a melon and getting an answer about a plum; he was likewise. I asked if they attain rewards in the present or not, and he answered me with there’s no rewards of misdeeds or merits. So, I then thought, ‘I am a warrior king whose head was anointed with water. There’s no reason to kill this mendicant, but I should bind him and drive him away!’ I felt anger that fettered my mind. Having had this thought, I then departed.”
