25.26
如是思惟已。王即發去到鹿足王所。鹿足遙見歡喜而言。汝是實語人不失信要。然一切人皆惜命。從死得脫還來赴信汝是大人。爾時須陀須摩王讚實語。實語是為人。非實語非人。如是種種讚實語呵妄語。鹿足聞之信心清淨。語須陀須摩王言。今相放捨九十九王亦還本國。是為尸羅波羅蜜滿(出大智論第四卷)。
Having reflected thus, the king set out immediately and arrived at King Kalmāṣapāda's place. Seeing him from afar, Kalmāṣapāda was delighted and said: "You are a person of truthful speech who does not break his pledged word. Yet all people cherish their lives; having escaped from death, you still return to fulfill your promise—you are a great man!" At that time King Śrutasoma praised truthful speech: "Truthful speech makes one human; without truthful speech one is not human." In this way he praised truthful speech in various ways and rebuked false speech. Hearing this, Kalmāṣapāda developed pure faith and said to King Śrutasoma: "I now release you, and the ninety-nine kings shall also return to their own countries." This was the fulfillment of the perfection of ethical discipline (śīlapāramitā). (Extracted from the fourth fascicle of the Treatise on the Great Perfection of Wisdom)
