大方便佛報恩經 4.34

4.34

「爾時王女往盲人所，語言：『知不？我今欲共汝作夫婦。』善友報言：『汝是誰家女，欲為我婦？』答言：『我是利師跋王女。』善友報言：『汝是王女，我是乞人，云何能相恭敬？』婦言：『我當盡心供奉於汝，不逆汝意。』如是經九十日，其婦小事出行，不白其夫，良久乃還。善友責數：『汝私出外，而不白我。何處行還？』婦言：『我不私行。』婿言：『私與不私，誰當知汝？』其婦懊惱，啼淚滿目，即自呪誓：『我若私行，令汝兩目始終不差；若不爾者，使汝一目平復如故。』作是願已，其夫一眼目𥇒𥌎動，平復如故，睛光晃晃，喻如流星，視瞻清徹，得見其婦。婦言：『何如？汝信我不？』善友含笑。婦言：『汝不識恩養。我是大國王女，汝是小人，而我盡心供事於汝，而不體信。』婿言：『汝識我不？』答言：『我識汝，是乞人。』婿言：『非也，我是波羅奈王善友太子。』婦言：『汝大愚癡人，云何乃發是言？波羅奈王善友太子入海未還，汝今云何言是其人？此妄言耳。吾不信也。』善友言：『我從生來，未曾妄語。』婦言：『虛之與實，誰當信之？』婿言：『我若妄語，欺誑汝者，使我一目永不得愈。若實語者，使我一目平復如故，令汝得見。』作是念已，即如所誓，睛光耀動，如本不異。

"At that time, the princess went to where the blind man was and said to him: 'Do you know? I wish to become husband and wife with you now.' Kalyāṇamitra replied: 'Whose daughter are you, that you wish to become my wife?' She replied: 'I am the daughter of King Ṛṣabha.' Kalyāṇamitra replied: 'You are a princess, and I am a beggar; how could we show mutual respect?' The woman said: 'I shall serve you with all my heart and never disobey your will.' After ninety days had passed in this manner, the wife went out on some small matter without informing her husband, returning only after a long time. Kalyāṇamitra reproached her: 'You went out secretly without informing me. Where did you go and come back from?' The wife said: 'I did not go out secretly.' The husband said: 'Whether secret or not, who can know you?' The woman was grieved, her eyes filled with tears, and she made a solemn vow: 'If I have gone out secretly, may both your eyes never heal; but if that is not so, may one of your eyes be restored as before.' Having made this vow, one of her husband's eyes blinked and fluttered, and was restored as before; the pupil shone brightly like a shooting star, and his vision was clear and bright, so that he was able to see his wife. The wife said: 'How is it? Do you believe me or not?' Kalyāṇamitra smiled. The wife said: 'You do not recognize the favor of my caring for you. I am the daughter of the king of a great nation, and you are a lowly man, yet I have served you with all my heart, and still you did not trust me.' The husband said: 'Do you recognize me?' She replied: 'I recognize you; you are a beggar.' The husband said: 'That is not so; I am Prince Kalyāṇamitra of the king of Vārāṇasī.' The wife said: 'You are an utter fool! How could you utter such words? Prince Kalyāṇamitra of the king of Vārāṇasī went out to sea and has not yet returned; how can you now say that you are that person? These are false words! I do not believe them.' Kalyāṇamitra said: 'Since my birth, I have never spoken falsely.' The wife said: 'Whether false or true, who could believe it?' The husband said: 'If I am speaking falsely and deceiving you, may my other eye never heal. If I am speaking the truth, may my other eye be restored as before, so that you may see it.' Having formed this thought, immediately, in accordance with what he had sworn, the pupil shone brightly, no different from the original.""
