### [3.97](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1336.3.97)

我於過去世，曾於閻浮提，  
婆羅門家子，聰明甚黠慧。  
時有隣國王，女來娉我妻，  
此女不貞良，私外共人通。  
我時伺捕得，斬之於都市，  
我時惡賊彼，送之歸本國。  
思惟欲穢惡，出家行正道，  
復遇惡知識，不值好同學，  
引置諸婬人。時我惋嘆恨，  
持刀自刎死，經歷三塗苦，  
從是受龍身，甚苦不可言。

> "In a past life of mine,  
> Once in Jambudvīpa,  
> I was the son of a brāhmaṇa family,  
> Intelligent and exceedingly clever.  
> At that time, the daughter of a neighboring king  
> Came to be wed as my wife.  
> This woman was unchaste,  
> Secretly having intercourse with another outside.  
> I then watched and caught her,  
> Executing her in the marketplace;  
> I then, detesting that bandit,  
> Sent her \[corpse\] back to her native country.  
> Contemplating lust as vile and impure,  
> I went forth to practice the correct path;  
> Yet I again met bad companions,  
> Not encountering good fellow-students,  
> Who led me among lustful people. At that time, full of grief, regret, and hatred,  
> I slit my throat with a blade and died,  
> Undergoing the suffering of the three wretched realms,  
> And from this received a dragon body,  
> So painful that words cannot tell."
