經律異相 47.68

47.68

載重入深轍　隨我語能去
是故應濡語　不應生惡言
濡語有色力　是牛能牽重
我獲大財物　身心得喜樂

"Carrying a heavy load into deep ruts,
Following my words, it was able to advance.
Therefore, one should speak gentle words
And not give rise to harsh speech.
With gentle words, there are color and strength,
And this ox was able to pull the heavy load.
I have obtained great wealth,
And my body and mind have attained joy."
