27.65

爾時,世尊著衣持鉢,與眾弟子千二百五十人俱,往詣王宮,就座而坐。時,王手自斟酌,供佛及僧,食訖去鉢,行澡水畢,禮世尊足,白言:「我今再三悔過,我為狂愚癡冥無識,我父摩竭瓶沙王以法治化,無有偏抂,而我迷於五欲,實害父王,唯願世尊加哀慈愍,受我悔過。」

It was then that the Bhagavān put on his robe, took his bowl, and went to the king’s palace with his assembly of 1,250 monks. Seats were prepared, and they sat down. The king served the Buddha and the assembly with his own hands. When the meal was finished, they left with their bowls to wash them. When that was done, he bowed at the Bhagavān’s feet and said, “Now, I repent three times. I was mad, foolish, deluded, benighted, and unaware. My father King Bimbisāra of Magadha ruled with the Dharma. He wasn’t crooked in any way, and I was deluded by the five desires. I really did harm my father, the king. May the Bhagavān have compassion and accept my repentance.”
