經律異相 19.62

19.62

佛在舍衛國。有一比丘。在參國石間土室中。長髮鬚爪被敗壞衣。時優填王。欲出遊觀治諸道路。王從美人到於山下。有一美人顧見土室。有一比丘。長鬚髮爪衣服裂敗。狀類如鬼。便大聲呼。天子。是中有鬼。王便遙問。今何所在。美人言。近在石間土室中。王即拔劍從之。見比丘如是。即問汝何等人。對言。我是沙門。王問。汝何等沙門。曰。我是釋迦沙門。王言。是應真耶。曰非也。寧有四禪耶。復言無也。寧有三禪二禪耶。復言無有。寧至一禪耶。對曰。言實一禪行。王便心恚不解。顧謂侍者。黃門以是婬意。今是沙門凡俗人無真行。奈何見我美人。便勅侍者急取斷命。侍者便去。山神念。是比丘無過。今當恐死。我可擁護令脫是厄。便化大猪身。徐走王邊。侍者即白王。大猪近在王邊。王便捨比丘。拔劍逐猪。比丘見王已遠。即便走出（出義足經上卷）。

When the Buddha was in the country of Śrāvastī, there was a monk dwelling among the rocks in an earthen hut in the country of Can. He had long hair, beard, and nails, and wore worn-out rags. At that time, King Udayana wished to go out on an excursion and had the roads cleared. The king was accompanied by his beauties to the foot of the mountain. One beauty looked back and saw the earthen hut, in which was a monk with long beard, hair, and nails, his garments torn and ruined, resembling a ghost. She cried out loudly: "Son of Heaven, there is a ghost in here!" From afar, the king asked: "Where is it now?" The beauty said: "Close by, among the rocks in an earthen hut." The king immediately drew his sword and went after him. Seeing the monk like this, he asked: "What kind of person are you?" He replied: "I am a śramaṇa." The king asked: "What kind of śramaṇa are you?" He said: "I am a Śākyan śramaṇa." The king said: "Are you an arhat?" He said: "No." "Do you possess the four dhyānas?" He again said: "No." "Do you possess the third dhyāna or the second dhyāna?" He again said: "I do not." "Have you attained the first dhyāna?" He replied: "In truth, I practice the first dhyāna." The king became enraged and was not pacified. He turned to his attendants: "Eunuchs have lustful minds; now this śramaṇa is an ordinary mortal without true practice. How dare he look upon my beauties!" He then commanded his attendants to execute him immediately. The attendants left. The mountain spirit thought: "This monk is without fault, but now he is about to die. I should protect him and let him escape this calamity." It transformed into the body of a large boar and ran slowly beside the king. An attendant immediately reported to the king: "A large boar is close beside the king." The king then abandoned the monk, drew his sword, and chased the boar. Seeing that the king was far away, the monk ran off. (Extracted from the first fascicle of the Arthapada Sūtra).
