### [2.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.2.44)

憶念餘生時　為人作子婦  
嫜嫗性狂暴　常加麁惱言  
執節脩婦禮　卑遜而奉順  
今見處宮殿　乘虛而遊行  
天身如金聚　天女百中勝  
觀察斯福德　供養中為最

> "I remember that in a past life  
> I was a daughter-in-law to others;  
> My parents-in-law were ferocious and wild by nature,  
> Constantly heaping harsh and vexing words upon me.  
> I upheld moderation, practiced the rites of a wife,  
> And humbly complied with them.  
> Now you see me dwelling in a palace,  
> Mounting the void and wandering about,  
> My heavenly body like a mass of gold,  
> Surpassing a hundred other heavenly maidens.  
> Observe this merit and virtue:  
> It is the supreme among offerings!"
