### [77.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.77.18)

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!"'
