### [13.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.13.10)

又雜寶藏經云。昔乾陀衛國。有一屠兒。將五百頭小牛。盡欲刑犍。時有內官以金錢贖牛。作群放去。以是因緣。現身即得男報具足。還到王家。遣人通白。某甲在外。王言。是我家人自恣而去。未曾通白。今何故爾。王時即喚問其所以。答王言曰。向見屠兒將五百頭小牛而欲刑治。臣即贖放。以是因緣。身體得具。故不敢入。王聞喜愕。深於佛法生信敬心。夫以華報所感如此。況其果報豈可量也。

> Furthermore, the Zabaozang jing says: In the past, in the country of Gandhāra, there was a butcher who had five hundred calves, all of which he intended to castrate. At that time, an eunuch redeemed the cattle with gold coins and released them as a herd. Due to this cause and condition, he obtained the full retribution of manhood in his present body. Returning to the royal palace, he sent someone to announce: 'So-and-so is outside.' The king said, 'He is a member of my household who left freely and has never sent word before. Why does he do so now?' The king then immediately summoned him and asked the reason. He answered the king, saying, 'Just before, I saw a butcher who had five hundred calves and intended to castrate them. Your servant redeemed and released them. Due to this cause and condition, my body was restored to completeness; therefore, I did not dare enter \[unannounced\].' Hearing this, the king was joyful and amazed, and gave rise to deep faith and reverence for the Buddha-Dharma. Now, if the flower retribution evoked is like this, how much more immeasurable must the fruit retribution be!
