經律異相 26.11

26.11

世間殺父母　命盡墮泥犁
今若加害王　其罪等無異
我今實不忍　加惡於大王
寧今身命盡　終不造逆意

“In this world, those who kill father or mother
Fall into hell when their lives end.
If I were now to harm the king,
The crime would be identical and no different.
I truly cannot bear now
To do evil to the great king;
I would rather my own life come to an end
Than ever harbor a rebellious thought.”
