### [3.75](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1336.3.75)

四大天王中，我最為第一，  
我雖作天王，不脫鬼神苦。  
我作鬼神王，已經五百歲，  
東西常馳騁，濟度諸群生。  
哀哉過去世，曾作人中王，  
治化不以理，今作鬼神王。  
有願諸國王，正治於國事，  
莫作貪濁行，復受鬼神身。

> "Among the Four Great Heavenly Kings,  
> I am the foremost.  
> Though I am a heavenly king,  
> I am not free from the suffering of ghosts and spirits.  
> I have been a king of ghosts and spirits  
> For five hundred years already,  
> Constantly galloping east and west  
> To deliver all beings.  
> Alas, in a past life  
> I was once a king among men;  
> Because I governed and transformed without principle,  
> I am now a king of ghosts and spirits.  
> I wish that all kings of countries  
> Would govern state affairs with righteousness,  
> And not perform greedy, corrupt deeds,  
> Only to receive a ghost or spirit body again."
