經律異相 26.13

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [26.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2121.26.13)

自在本國時　遙聞大王德  
今來至於此　見尊踰所聞  
巍巍積功德　譬若純金山  
其力堅如是　無能動搖者  
今見王所行　於世甚無雙  
願以國相還　并奉所居界  
願歸得本土　修敬為臣禮  
不復敢憍慢　事王如尊天

> “While in my own kingdom,  
> I heard from afar of the Great King's virtue;  
> Now having arrived here,  
> Beholding Your Honor surpasses what I heard.  
> Lofty is your accumulated merit,  
> Like a mountain of pure gold;  
> Its strength is firm like this,  
> Such that none can shake it.  
> Now seeing what the king has done,  
> In the world it is truly without match.  
> I wish to return your kingdom,  
> And also offer the territory where I dwell;  
> I wish to return to my own land,  
> To pay respects and perform the rites of a subject,  
> Never again daring to be arrogant,  
> Serving the king like an exalted deva.”
