19.50

佛告舍利弗。往昔有佛。號名盡勝。有兩比丘。一名無勝。二名常歡。無勝比丘六通神足。常歡比丘結使未除。有一長者。名曰大愛。婦名善幻。端正無比。此兩比丘以為檀越。善幻婦者供養無勝。事事不乏料理。常歡甚自微薄。常歡興妬謗曰。無勝比丘與善幻通。自以恩愛得供養耳。佛語舍利弗。汝知常歡者不。則我身是。善幻婦者。則婆羅門女栴沙者是。爾時誹謗無勝羅漢。無數千歲在地獄中。今雖得佛餘殃故。多舌童女舞杅起腹。來我前曰。沙門何以不說家事。乃說他事。汝今獨樂不知我苦。先共我通有身。臨月事須蘇油。養於小兒。盡當給我。爾時眾會皆低頭默然。釋提桓因侍後扇佛。化為一鼠。入其衣裏。嚙杅落地。時四部弟子及六師等。揚聲稱慶欣笑無量皆同罵曰。汝死罪物。興誹謗無上正真。此地無知。乃能容載此惡物也。地即擘裂炎火勇出。女即便墮大泥犁中。大眾見此。阿闍世王便驚毛竪。即起白言。此女今在何處。佛答。大王。此女所墮。名阿鼻泥犁。王復問佛。此女不殺盜直妄語。墮阿鼻耶。佛語大王。我所說法。有上中下身口意行。王復問佛。何者為重。何者為中。何者為下。佛語阿闍世王。意行最重。口行處中。身行在下（出興起行經下卷）。

The Buddha told Śāriputra: "Long ago there was a Buddha named Jin胜 (Jitavijaya/Sarvābhibhū?). There were two monks: one was named Wusheng (Anabhibhūta) and the other was named Changhuan (Nityapramudita). The monk Wusheng had the six spiritual penetrations and psychic powers; the monk Changhuan had not yet eliminated his fetters. There was an elder named Mahāpriya (Dà'ài), whose wife was named Śubhamāyā (Shànhuàn), exceedingly handsome and unequalled. These two monks were their recipients of alms. The woman Śubhamāyā made offerings to Wusheng, lacking nothing in any matter of care, while to Changhuan she gave very meagerly. Changhuan gave rise to jealousy and slandered him, saying: 'The monk Wusheng has illicit relations with Śubhamāyā; it is through affection and love that he receives offerings.' The Buddha said to Śāriputra: 'Do you know who Changhuan was? He was myself. The woman Śubhamāyā was the brāhmaṇa maiden Ciñcā. Because I slandered the arhat Wusheng at that time, I was in hell for countless thousands of years. Now, although I have attained Buddhahood, because of the residual retribution, this talkative young woman, dancing with a bowl tied to swell her belly, came before me and said: "Śramaṇa, why do you not speak of domestic matters instead of speaking of other things? You are joyful alone now and do not know my suffering. Formerly you had illicit relations with me and got me pregnant; now that the month of childbirth has arrived, I need ghee and oil to raise the infant. You must supply me with all of it!" At that time, the entire assembly lowered their heads and remained silent. Śakra Devānām Indra, who was standing behind fanning the Buddha, transformed into a mouse, entered under her clothing, and bit through the bowl so that it fell to the ground. Then the fourfold assembly of disciples, the six heterodox masters, and the others shouted with joy and laughed boundlessly, all cursing together: "You capital offender! Slandering the Unsurpassed and Truly Enlightened One! Only this earth, being insensate, could bear to support such an evil creature!" Immediately the earth split open and flaming fires leaped forth, and the woman fell into the great hell (naraka). Seeing this, King Ajātaśatru was horrified, with hair standing on end. He immediately arose and said: "Where is this woman now?" The Buddha answered: "Great King, the place into which this woman fell is called the Avīci hell." The king asked the Buddha again: "This woman did not kill or steal, but merely spoke false speech; does she fall into Avīci for that?" The Buddha told the great king: "In the Dharma I teach, there are superior, middling, and inferior actions of body, speech, and mind." The king asked the Buddha again: "Which is the heaviest, which is middling, and which is lowest?" The Buddha told King Ajātaśatru: "Mental action is the heaviest, verbal action is middling, and bodily action is lowest." (Drawn from the Xingqixing jing, lower fascicle.)
