大方便佛報恩經 5.46

5.46

"The bandit chieftain then had this thought: 'Now this woman intends to harm me.' Having reflected thus, he climbed over the wall and entered, saying to his wife: 'For what reason did you not open the gate?' The wife said: 'Because of giving birth, I could not make it in time.' Seeing this, the bandit chieftain's anger subsided a little, and he said to his wife: 'When a person is pregnant, they will have a child. Because of giving birth, you endangered me—what use is this child? Go quickly and kill it.' At that time, the wife felt pity in her heart and could not bear to kill it.
