大方便佛報恩經 7.20

7.20

「爾時獵師即脫被服，持刀剝之，擔負還歸。既至家已，奉上國王。王見歡喜，問諸臣言：『我從生來，未聞畜獸身毛金色，如何今日親自眼見？奇哉！怪哉！』徐問獵師：『以何方便，而得是皮？』爾時獵師即前白王：『唯願大王賜我無畏，當以上事向大王說。』王言：『隨汝所願！』爾時獵師具以上事向大王說。

"Then the hunter took off his disguise, took a knife and skinned him, and carried it back on his shoulders. Arriving home, he presented it to the king of the country. When the king saw it, he was delighted and asked his ministers: 'In all my life, I have never heard of an animal with golden fur on its body; how is it that today I see it with my own eyes? How extraordinary! How wondrous!' He gently asked the hunter: 'By what upāya did you obtain this skin?' The hunter then stepped forward and addressed the king: 'I only pray that the great king grant me fearlessness, and I will explain the matter to the great king.' The king said: 'As you wish!' The hunter then recounted the matter in full to the great king.
