法苑珠林 65.31

65.31

我令汝得脫　還於山林中
恐汝獼猴法　故態還復生
爾時彼仙人　為說往昔事
鼈汝宿命時　曾號字迦葉
獼猴過去世　號字憍陳如
已作婬欲行　今可斷因緣
迦葉放憍陳　令還山林去

“I shall cause you to be freed,
To return to the mountain forest;
Yet I fear by the ways of a monkey,
Your old habits will arise again.”
Then that ṛṣi spoke of their past deeds:
“Turtle, in a past life,
You were once named Kāśyapa;
Monkey, in a past life,
You were named Kauṇḍinya.
Having already engaged in lustful conduct,
Now you may cut off this condition;
Kāśyapa, release Kauṇḍinya,
And let him return to the mountain forest.”
