太子瑞應本起經 1.45

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.185.1.45)

「『何安坐林而大語，委國財位守空閑；  
不見我興四部兵，象馬步兵億八千。  
已見猴猨師子面，虎兕毒蛇豕鬼形；  
皆持刀劒擭戈矛，超踔哮吼滿空中。』

> "‘How can you sit at ease in the forest and boast so boldly,  
> Abandoning kingdom and wealth to keep to empty seclusion?  
> Do you not see that I have raised an army of four divisions,  
> Elephants, horses, and foot soldiers numbering one hundred and eighty million?  
> Already you have seen the faces of monkeys and lions,  
> The forms of tigers, wild bovines, venomous snakes, swine, and ghosts;  
> All holding swords, gripping halberds and spears,  
> Leaping, bounding, roaring, filling the open sky.’
