菩薩從兜術天降神母胎說廣普經 6.8

6.8

「『非天、夜叉、鬼，須倫、迦樓羅；
為母除愚闇，權生父母家。
先無手足子，亦復是我身；
朝生若暮死，八住無上尊。
我今受形分，三頭八手脚；
何為捨我去，經向地獄門？
地獄眾苦備，十八鑊湯沸；
一一鑊湯者，十六隔子圍；
受苦無量劫，求出甚為難。
父母愚惑人，不識真法性，
邪見禱神祠，謂當脫苦難；
如火焰熾盛，益以乾薪草，
焚燒善根本，求滅亦欲難。
今我還復體，現本端正形，
道本心堅固，修習三通慧，
從阿僧祇劫，誓度不度者。
守戒不失願，託生父母家，
前後捨身命，其數如微塵。
所可經歷處，靡不蒙福祐；
群品若干種，行跡各不同。
應與歡悅度，亦以恐畏化；
隨彼眾生念，令復心所願。
眾生病非一，投以甘露藥；
趣使入道撿，不令入邪徑。
諸天受福樂，甘露除病樂；
不違聖教樂，解脫涅槃樂。』

"‘I am neither a deva, yakṣa, ghost, / Asura, nor garuḍa; / To eliminate ignorance and darkness for my mother, / I was born through skillful means in my parents' home. / The former child without hands or feet / Was also my body; / The one born in the morning and dead by evening / Was the unsurpassable honored one of the eighth stage. / Now I have received this physical form / With three heads and eight hands and feet; / Why do you abandon me and leave, / Heading directly toward the gates of hell? / Hell is replete with all sufferings, / With eighteen boiling caldrons; / Each and every boiling caldron / Is enclosed by sixteen compartments; / Enduring suffering for immeasurable kalpas, / Seeking escape is extremely difficult. / Parents are foolish and deluded people, / Not recognizing the true nature of phenomena; / Holding wrong views, you pray at spirit shrines, / Thinking you will thereby escape suffering and calamity; / Just like when a fire blazes fiercely, / Adding dry firewood and grass / Burns away the roots of goodness; / Seeking to extinguish it is also exceedingly difficult. / Now I restore my body, / Manifesting my original, handsome form; / With a firm mind in the root of the path, / I cultivate the three penetrating knowledges; / From asaṃkhyeya kalpas past, / I vowed to ferry across those who have not crossed over. / Guarding precepts without losing my vows, / I have taken birth in parents' homes, / Relinquishing body and life throughout past and present, / In numbers like fine dust motes. / Wherever I have passed through, / None have not received blessing and protection; / The various kinds of beings / Each have different traces of conduct. / Some should be delivered with joy, / Others transformed through dread and fear; / In accordance with the thoughts of those sentient beings, / I cause what their hearts desire to be fulfilled. / The illnesses of sentient beings are not of a single kind; / I administer to them the medicine of amṛta; / Directing them to enter the discipline of the path, / I do not allow them to enter deviant tracks. / Devas receive the joy of blessings; / Amṛta brings the joy of eliminating illness; / Not violating the sacred teachings brings joy; / Liberation brings the joy of nirvāṇa.’"
