77.18

誰有年少人 與我極相似
共我所愛婦 同床接膝坐
所親家眷屬 見打驅逐出
所親皆愛彼 安止我家中
我忍飢寒苦 積聚諸錢財
彼今自在用 我無一毫分
猶如毘沙門 自恣於衣食
城中諸人等 各各生疑怪
皆作如是言 此事當云何
中有明智者 而作如是言
此間婬狡人 形貌似盧至
知其大慳貪 故來惱亂之
我等共證拔 不宜使棄捨

'Who is this young man / Who looks so very much like me? / Together with my beloved wife, / He sits on the same couch, knee to knee. / The family and relatives close to me / Beat me and drive me out; / Those close to me all love him, / And settle him within my home. / I endured the pains of hunger and cold / To amass all the money and wealth; / He now spends it at will, / While I do not have a single fraction of a hair! / Just like Vaiśravaṇa, / He indulges himself in food and clothing. / The people in the city / Each give rise to doubt and astonishment, / And all speak words such as these: / "How can this matter be?" / Among them are wise ones / Who make statements such as these: / "This is a licentious and cunning man of this place, / Whose appearance resembles Rucika; / Knowing him to be greatly stingy and greedy, / He has come purposely to disturb and confuse him. / We should join together to testify and deliver him, / And ought not to let him be cast aside!"'
