經律異相 13.29

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [13.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2121.13.29)

阿那律已得羅漢。有美顏容似於女人。獨行草中。時有年少見之。謂是女人。邪心既動欲往犯之。知是男子。自視其形變成女人。慚愧欝毒。自放深山遂不敢歸。經踰數年。其家妻子生不知處。謂已死亡。阿那律行分衛往至其家。婦人涕泣自說其夫不歸。乞與福力使得生活。阿那律默然不應。有哀念故乃至山中求與相見。此人便悔過自責。其身還成男子。遂得歸家家室相見也（出舊譬喻經下卷）。

> Aniruddha had already attained arhatship. He had a beautiful countenance that resembled a woman’s. While walking alone through the grass, a youth saw him and thought he was a woman. An immoral thought arose, and he approached to violate him. Knowing that he was a man, \[the youth looked at\] his own form and saw that it had turned into a woman. Filled with shame and bitter distress, he banished himself into the deep mountains and never dared to return. Several years passed, and his family, wife, and children did not know where he was alive, presuming he was dead. Aniruddha went on almsround to his home. The wife wept and spoke of how her husband had not returned, begging for the power of blessings to restore him to life. Aniruddha remained silent and did not answer. Out of pity, he later went into the mountains seeking to meet him. This person then repented his fault, rebuked himself, and his body turned back into a man. He was then able to return home, and the family saw each other again. (From the Old Avadāna Sūtra, lower fascicle.)
