經律異相 47.106

47.106

為天是神祇　信義妙乃爾
恐懼情悚然　豈敢加逆害
寧自殺鄙身　害及其妻子
何忍向靈神　起想如毛髮

"Are you a god or a spirit,
That your trustworthiness and righteousness are so wondrous?
In fear and trembling my heart is struck with awe;
How could I dare to harm you?
I would rather slay my own vile body,
And let ruin reach my wife and children,
Than bear, toward a divine spirit,
To harbor an intention as slight as a hair!"
