如是詶對。說五百偈。蘇摩大臣時默然住。梵德王言。汝何故默然。大臣答言。汝是人王國主。此雁王陂澤國主。二王共語何敢間錯。王言。我有好園。汝能住不。答言。不能。王問。何故。雁言。王或睡覺。忘不蠲我。勅作雁肉食。若宰人不能得餘雁。或殺我等以充王厨。治國雁王入王宮中。諸雁從雨成池出於王宮上。徘徊悲鳴。翅濕有水灑污宮殿。王問曰。此是何等。雁王答言。是我眷屬。王言。汝欲去耶。答言。欲去。王言。汝何所須。答言。我為獵師所得。於我等作希有事。與我等壽。若先殺一後復殺一誰能遮者。王言。當何以報之。二雁答曰。與金銀車𤦲馬瑙衣服飲食。作是語已飛昇虛空。佛言。雁王則我身是。五百雁者。則五百比丘是也。獵師者守財象是也。梵德王者即淨飯王是也。蘇摩大臣者阿難是也（出十誦律雜誦第一卷）。

> Thus replying to one another, they spoke five hundred verses. Minister Soma remained silent at the time. King Brahmadatta said, 'Why are you silent?' The minister replied, 'You are a king of men, lord of a realm; this goose king is a lord of the realm of marshes and pools. When two kings converse together, how would I dare interject?' The king said, 'I have a fine park; can you live there?' He replied, 'We cannot.' The king asked, 'Why?' The goose said, 'The king may wake from sleep and forget to exempt us, ordering goose meat to be prepared as food. If the cooks cannot obtain other geese, they might kill us to supply the king's kitchen.' When the goose king Zhiguo entered the royal palace, the flock of geese emerged from the Rain-Formed Pond and hovered mournfully above the palace. Their wings were wet with water, which splattered and soiled the palace halls. The king asked, 'What is this?' The goose king replied, 'These are my kin.' The king said, 'Do you wish to leave?' He replied, 'We wish to leave.' The king asked, 'What do you need?' He replied, 'We were captured by the hunter. He did a rare thing for us, granting us our lives. Had he killed one first and then the other, who could have stopped him?' The king asked, 'With what should he be rewarded?' The two geese replied, 'Give him gold and silver, musāragalva, agate, clothing, and food and drink.' Having spoken these words, they flew up into the void. The Buddha said: 'The goose king was my own person. The five hundred geese were the five hundred monks. The hunter was the elephant Dhanapāla. King Brahmadatta was King Śuddhodana. Minister Soma was Ānanda. (Extracted from the first fascicle of the Miscellaneous Section of the Sarvāstivāda Vinaya.)'
