向佛陀求婚 Maradhitara Vatthu

 Maradhitara Vatthu 



Dhammapada Verses 179 and 180

Yassa jitam navajiyati1
jitam yassa no'yati koci loke2
tam buddhamanantagocaram3
apadam4 kena padena nessatha.

Yassa jalini visattika
tanha natthi kuhinci netave
tam buddhamanantagocaram
apadam kena padena nessatha5.

Verse 179: The Buddha, whose conquest (of moral defilements) is complete, in whom there cannot arise any further defilements in this world, that Buddha of infinite range of wisdom, who is trackless, - by what track will you lead him?

Verse 180: The Buddha, in whom there is no craving, which like a net would bring him back to any existence (in samsara), that Buddha of infinite range of wisdom, who is trackless, - by what track will you lead him?

1. jitam navajiyati: 'the conquest is complete' means there is no need for further conquests as there are no more moral defilements to be conquered.

2. jitam yassa no'yati koci loke: lit., whose conquered defilements cannot be followed by any further defilements in this world.

3. anantagocaram: The range of wisdom of the Buddha is infinite by reason of his omniscience, Sabbannuta nana. (The Commentary)

4. apadam: lit., 'trackless'. The Buddha, being free from conditions of rebirth, such as craving, clinging, passion, etc., his track or passage through samsara has come to an end. (The Com.)

[The same idea is conveyed in verses 92 and 93 which express the idea that the arahat passes away, leaving no more trace of existence than a bird leaves its passage through the air.]

5. kena padena nessatha: lit., by what track will you lead him? It means he cannot be lured by any temptation whatsoever.

The Story of the Three Daughters of Mara

The Buddha first uttered Verses (179) and (180) of this book while residing near the Bodhi tree, with reference to the three daughters of Mara. He repeated these verses to the brahmin Magandiya while journeying through the Kuru country.

Magandiya the Brahmin and his wife lived in the kingdom of the Kurus with their daughter Magandiya who was exceedingly beautiful. She was so beautiful that her father rudely turned down all her suitors. One day, early in the morning, when the Buddha surveyed the world, he found that time was ripe for the brahmin Magandiya and his wife to attain Anagami Fruition. So, taking his bowl and the robes, the Buddha set out for the place where the brahmin usually went to offer fire sacrifice.

The brahmin, seeing the Buddha, promptly decided that the Buddha was the very person who was worthy of his daughter. He pleaded with the Buddha to wait there and hurriedly went off to fetch his wife and daughter. The Buddha left his footprint and went to another place, close at hand. When the brahmin and his family came, they found only the footprint. Seeing the footprint, the wife of the brahmin remarked that it was the footprint of one who was free from sensual desires. Then, the brahmin saw the Buddha and he offered his daughter in marriage to him.

The Buddha did not accept nor did he refuse the offer, but first, he related to the brahmin how the daughters of Mara tempted him soon after his attainment of Buddhahood. To the beautiful Tanha, Arati and Raga, the daughters of Mara, the Buddha had said, "It is no use tempting one who is free from craving, clinging and passion, for he cannot be lured by any temptation whatsoever."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 179: The Buddha, whose conquest (of moral defilements) is complete, in whom there cannot arise any further defilements in this world, that Buddha of infinite range of wisdom, who is trackless, - by what track will you lead him?

 

Verse 180: The Buddha, in whom there is no craving, which like a net would bring him back to any existence (in samsara), that Buddha of infinite range of wisdom, who is trackless, - by what track will you lead him?

Then, the Buddha continued, "Brahmin Magandiya, even when I saw those peerless daughters of Mara, I felt no sensual desire in me. After all, what is this body of your daughter? It is full of urine and filth; I don't like to touch it even with my foot!" On hearing those words of the Buddha, both the brahmin and his wife attained Anagami Fruition. Later, they joined the Order and eventually both of them attained arahatship.

向佛陀求婚


已經證得無上智慧的佛陀，三毒盡除，世間所有欲愛不能再誑惑他；佛陀不受繫縛。(偈 179-180)


　　拘留國的婆羅門摩醯提利夫婦有一位非常美麗的女兒，求婚的人不斷，他明白告訴他們還不夠資格娶他的女兒。一天清晨，佛陀透過神通知道他夫婦二人證得三果的機緣已經成熟了，就出發到他經常火祭的地方。

　　摩醯提利一眼瞥見佛陀時，當下認定佛陀就是他女兒要許配的對象。他便央求佛陀在原地稍事停留，然後急忙趕回家去叫妻子和女兒來。佛陀於是到附近去休息。摩醯提利一家人回來時，只見到佛陀的足跡，但他的妻子說留下這種足跡的人已經滌除所有的感官欲望。儘管妻子的看法如此，他還是毫無畏懼地找到佛陀，並向佛陀提及要把女兒許配給他。

　　佛陀拒絕他的提議，並且敘述自己剛究竟證悟成佛時，魔王波旬美麗無比的女兒們如何誘惑他，佛陀說：「想要誘惑解脫貪愛、執著與激情的人是無效的，因為這種人不為任何誘惑所動。」

　　佛陀繼續說道：「魔波旬美麗無比的女兒們出現在我面前時，我心中都毫無感官欲望。你女兒究竟有什麼特殊之處呢？我甚至連碰觸的興趣都沒有。」聽完佛陀的一席話後，摩醯提利和他妻子明白其中的涵意，而對佛法有正確的信念。後來，他們都加入僧伽為比丘和比丘尼，最後兩人都證得聖果。他們的女兒卻深深感覺受到佛陀的羞辱，發誓要找機會報復佛陀。
