37.13

有一優婆塞。與眾估客遠出治生。遇天寒雪。夜行失伴住一石室。時有山神變為女像。來試之曰。白雪覆天地鳥獸皆隱藏。我獨無所恃。唯願見愍傷。優婆塞兩手掩耳曰。無羞弊惡人說此不淨語。水漂火焚之不欲見聞汝。有婦心不欲。何況作邪婬。欲樂情淺薄大苦可畏深。山神聞之。兩手擎捧送至伴中(出大智論第十七卷)。

There was an upāsaka who went abroad to do business with a group of merchants. Encountering cold weather and snow while travelling at night, he was separated from his companions and lodged in a stone cave. At that time, a mountain spirit transformed into the form of a woman and came to test him, saying: / "White snow covers heaven and earth; / Birds and beasts all hide away. / I alone have none to rely on; / I only pray you will have pity on me." / The upāsaka covered his ears with both hands and said: / "Shameless, vile person, / Uttering these impure words! / May water wash you away and fire burn you; / I do not wish to see or hear you. / Even towards a wife my mind has no lust; / How much less would I commit illicit intercourse! / The pleasures of desire are shallow and flimsy; / Great suffering is truly profound and terrifying." / Hearing this, the mountain spirit lifted him up with both hands and carried him back among his companions. (Extracted from the seventeenth volume of the Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa.)
