諸經要集 14.55

14.55

又舊譬喻經云。昔有四姓。藏婦不使人見。婦使青衣人作地突。與琢銀兒私通。夫後覺婦。婦言。我今生不邪行。卿莫妄語。夫言。吾不信汝。當將汝至神樹所立誓。婦言。甚佳。夫持齋七日。始入齋室。婦密語琢銀兒。汝詐作狂亂頭於市。逢人抱持牽引弄之。夫齋竟便將婦出。婦言。我不見市。卿將我過市。琢銀兒便來抱持詐狂臥地。婦便哮呼其夫。何為使人抱持我耶。夫言。此是狂人。何須記錄。夫婦俱到神所。叩頭言。我生來不作惡。但為狂人所抱。婦便得活。夫默然而慚。佛言。當知一切女人。姦詐如是。不可信也。

Furthermore, the Jiu piyu jing says: In ancient times, a man of the four castes hid his wife and did not let people see her. The wife had a maidservant dig an underground passage and had illicit relations with a silversmith apprentice. The husband later discovered his wife, but the wife said, 'In my entire life, I have never committed misconduct; do not speak falsely, sir.' The husband said, 'I do not believe you. I shall take you to the sacred tree to take an oath.' The wife said, 'Very well.' The husband observed a fast for seven days and only then entered the fasting room. The wife secretly spoke to the silversmith, 'Pretend to be mad with disheveled hair in the marketplace; whenever you meet someone, embrace them, pull them, and play with them.' When the husband finished the fast, he brought his wife out. The wife said, 'I have never seen the marketplace; take me through the marketplace, sir.' The silversmith then came, embraced her, feigned madness, and lay on the ground. The wife then shouted to her husband, 'Why did you let someone embrace me?' The husband said, 'This is a madman; why bother taking note of it?' The husband and wife both arrived at the spirit's shrine, and she kowtowed and said, 'Since I was born, I have done no evil, except for being embraced by a madman.' The wife was thus spared, while the husband was silent and ashamed. The Buddha said: 'You should know that all women are deceitful like this and cannot be trusted.'
