法苑珠林 43.39

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [43.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.43.39)

汝等護我心　何假虛妄語  
我今坐王位　不復得自在  
阿摩勒半果　今在於我手  
此即是我物　於是得自在  
嗚呼尊富貴　可厭可棄捨  
先領閻浮提　今一旦貧至  
如殑伽駛流　一逝而不返  
富貴亦復然　逝者不復還

> "You merely seek to protect my feelings; / Why resort to empty, false words? / Sitting now upon the royal throne, / I no longer have any sovereignty. / Half an āmalaka fruit / Is now in my hand; / Only this is my possession, / Over which I have sovereignty. / Alas, honorable wealth and nobility / Are detestable and to be cast away! / Formerly ruling over Jambudvīpa, / Now suddenly poverty has arrived. / Like the rushing current of the Gaṅgā, / Once gone, it never returns; / Wealth and nobility are just the same: / What has departed shall never come back."
