5.40

師壽於百歲 八十而造非
為近至尊故 熏修而入道
雖具少智慧 而多有彼我
所見諸賢等 未嘗生珍敬
二十年功德 其心未恬靜
聰明輕慢故 而致至於此
得王不敬者 乃感果如是
自今不疎怠 不久成奇智
諸聖悉存心 如來亦復爾

"The master’s life has spanned a hundred years; / At eighty, you committed wrongs. / It was because you drew close to the sovereign / That you perfumed your practice and entered the Way. / Although endowed with a little wisdom, / You held greatly to self and other; / Toward the worthy ones you encountered, / You never gave rise to cherished respect. / After twenty years of meritorious deeds, / Your mind was still not tranquil. / Through cleverness and condescension / You were brought to this pass. / To suffer the king’s disrespect / Was the karmic retribution thus incurred. / If from now on you are neither remiss nor negligent, / Before long you will accomplish extraordinary wisdom. / All sages preserve this in mind, / And the Tathāgata does so likewise."
