3.16

「童子告曰：『汝樂聞者，諦聽！諦受！當為汝說。』告諸天曰：『如來往昔為菩薩時，在所生處聰明多智。諸賢！當知過去久遠時，世有王名曰地主，第一太子名曰慈悲。王有大臣名曰典尊，大臣有子名曰焰鬘。太子慈悲有朋友，其朋亦與六剎利大臣而為朋友。地主大王欲入深宮遊戲娛樂時，即以國事委付典尊大臣，然後入宮作倡伎樂，五欲自娛。時，典尊大臣欲理國事，先問其子，然後決斷；有所處分，亦問其子。』

“Kumāra told them, ‘Those of you who’d like to hear it: Listen closely, Listen closely! I’ll tell it to you.’

“He told the gods, ‘In the past when he was a bodhisattva, the Tathāgata was born intelligent and quite knowledgeable. Gentlemen, you should know that long ago in the distant past, there was a king in the world named Diśāmpati, and his first prince was named Reṇu. The king also had a minister named Govinda, and that minister had a son named Jyotipāla. Prince Reṇu was his friend, and they were accompanied by six warrior ministers who were also friends.

“‘When King Diśāmpati wanted to retreat to his palace and have fun and frolic there, he entrusted the affairs of state to his minister Govinda. He would then go into the palace and enjoy the festivities and partake of the five desires.

“‘Wanting to put the affairs of state in order, the minister Govinda would first consult his son about it, and afterward he’d make his decision. He would also consult his son when there was a disciplinary matter.
