2.216

【臊（蘇勞）陀】或叔迦婆嘻，此云鸚鵡。《說文》云：「能言鳥也。」《山海經》曰：「黃山及數歷山有鳥焉，其狀如鶚（五各），青羽赤啄，人舌能言，名鸚鵡。」〈曲禮〉云：「鸚鵡能言，不離飛鳥；猩猩能言，不離禽獸；人而無禮，不亦禽獸之心乎？」《雜寶藏經》云：「過去雪山有一鸚鵡，父母都盲，常取華果，先奉父母。時有田主，初種穀時，願與眾生而共噉食。鸚鵡於田常采其穀，田主案行，見𢶕（子踐）穀穗，便設羅網，捕得鸚鵡。鳥告主言：『先有施心，故敢來采。如何今者而見網捕？』田主問鳥：『取穀與誰？』答言：『有盲父母，願以奉之。』田主報曰：『今後常取，勿復疑難（云云）。』佛言：『爾時鸚鵡，我身是也；時田主者，舍利弗是。』」

[Śuka] Alternatively śukabahī; this is translated as parrot. The Shuowen says: 'A bird that can speak.' The Shanhai jing says: 'On Mount Huang and Mount Shuli there is a bird whose shape is like an osprey, with green feathers, a red beak, and a human tongue that can speak, called the parrot.' The "Quli" says: 'A parrot can speak, but it does not cease to be a flying bird; an ape can speak, but it does not cease to be a beast. If a human lacks propriety, is it not the mind of a beast?' The Zabaozang jing says: 'In the past in the Himalayas there was a parrot whose parents were both blind; it constantly gathered flowers and fruits to offer first to its parents. At that time there was a field owner who, when first sowing grain, made a vow to share its food with all living beings. The parrot constantly gathered his grain in the field. When the field owner inspected his fields and saw the plucked grain stalks, he set up a net and captured the parrot. The bird said to the owner: "Because you previously had a generous mind of giving, I dared to come and gather it. Why now do you catch me in a net?" The field owner asked the bird: "To whom do you give the grain?" It replied: "I have blind parents, and wish to present it to them." The field owner replied: "Henceforth gather it constantly without any further doubts (and so on)." The Buddha said: "The parrot at that time was myself; the field owner was Śāriputra."'
