### [7.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.7.30)

「『我是天帝釋，絕妙彈琴師；  
歌曲音相和，清淨聲極妙。  
如我彼天樂，無有憂畏想；  
念則衣食至，七寶甘露珍。  
金銀床玉机，轉關身迴旋；  
視樂無厭足，天中尊第一。  
今遣我等來，欲說無諍行；  
并獻甘露食，求欲作婚姻。  
我主彼宮殿，琦珍不可量；  
天女為眷屬，非千萬億數。  
知婆呵有女，應與我給使；  
若不見與者，正爾兵眾征。』  
須倫聞此語，瞋恚極熾盛：  
『小物興大意，乃欲有所為。  
我雖無甘露，豫以自充飽；  
亦有大兵眾，足得相距逆。』

> "‘I am Śakra, king of the gods, / a consummate master of the lute; / the melodies and notes blend in harmony, / pure and utterly exquisite in sound. / In the celestial delights of our realm, / there are no notions of sorrow or fear; / upon a mere thought, clothing and food arrive, / treasures of the seven jewels and amṛta. / Couches of gold and silver, stools of jade; / turn the pivot, and the body whirls around; / beholding such delights, one never tires— / he is supreme and foremost among the gods. / Now he has sent us here, / wishing to speak of non-contention, / and to present delicacies of amṛta, / seeking to form an alliance in marriage. / In the palace of my lord, / rare treasures are beyond measure; / celestial maidens serve as his retinue, / numbering not merely tens of millions. / Knowing that Baha has a daughter, / she should be given to serve my lord; / if she is not given to him, / our armies will straightaway march in conquest.’ / When the asura heard these words, / his wrath flared with extreme fierceness: / ‘A petty creature conceives grand designs, / and actually presumes to undertake this! / Though I have no amṛta, / I have already plenty to satisfy myself; / I also possess great armies, / quite sufficient to withstand and repel him.’
