Rohinikkattiyakanna Vatthu  

Dhammapada Verse 221

Kodham jahe vippajaheyya manam
samyojanam1 sabbamatikkameyya
tam namarupasmimasajjanamam
akincanam2 nanupatanti dukkha.

Verse 221: Give up anger, abandon conceit, overcome all fetters. Ills of life (dukkha) do not befall one who does not cling to mind and body and is free from moral defilements.

1. samyojanam: a fetter. There are ten fetters of human passion which bind man to the round of rebirths; these are cast off at different stages of Magga Insight.

2. akincanam: free from kincana: the three kincana are passion, ill will and ignorance.

Rohinikkattiyakanna Vatthu

While residing at the Nigrodharama monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (221) of this book, with reference to Princess Rohini, sister of Thera Anuruddha.

On one occasion, Thera Anuruddha visited Kapilavatthu. While he was staying at the monastery there, all his relatives, with the exception of his sister Rohini, came to see him. On learning from them that Rohini did not come because she was suffering from leprosy, he sent for her. Covering her head in shame, Rohini came when she was sent for. Thera Anuruddha told her to do some meritorious deed and he suggested that she should sell some of her clothing and jewelry; and with the money raised, to build a refectory for the bhikkhu. Rohini agreed to do as she was told. Thera Anuruddha also asked his other relatives to help in the construction of the hall. Further, he told Rohini to sweep the floor and fill the water-pots every day even while the construction was still going on. She did as she was instructed and she began to get better.

When the hall was completed, the Buddha and his bhikkhus were invited for alms-food. After the meal, the Buddha asked for the donor of the building and alms-food, but Rohini was not there. So the Buddha sent for her and she came. The Buddha asked her whether she knew why she was inflicted with this dreaded disease and she answered that she did not know. So the Buddha told her that she had the dreadful disease because of an evil deed she bad done out of spite and anger, in one of her past existences. As explained by the Buddha, Rohini was, at one time, the chief queen of the king of Baranasi. It so happened that the king had a favourite dancer and the chief queen was very jealous of her. So the queen wanted to punish the dancer. Thus one day, she had her attendants put some itching powder made from cow-hage pods in the dancer's bed, her blankets, etc. Next, they called the dancer, and as though in jest, they threw some itching powder on her. The girl itched all over and was in great pain and discomfort. Thus itching unbearably, she ran to her room and her bed, which made her suffer even more.

As a result of that evil deed Rohini had become a leper in this existence. The Buddha then exhorted the congregation not to act foolishly in anger and not to bear any ill will towards others.

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 221: Give up anger, abandon conceit, overcome all fetters. Ills of life (dukkha) do not befall one who does not cling to mind and body and is free from moral defilements.

At the end of the discourse, many in the congregation attained Sotapatti Fruition. Princess Rohini also attained Sotapatti Fruition, and at the same time her skin disease disappeared, and her complexion became fair, smooth and very attractive.

捨棄忿怒，滅除我慢，解脫一切繫縛，不執著名色的人，不受苦。 (偈221)


　　有一次，阿那律陀尊者前往迦毗羅衛城時，所有的親戚，除了妹妹蘿西妮以外都來 探視他。他們告訴他蘿西妮有皮膚病，所以沒辦法前來，但他還是請她前來相見。蘿西 妮恥於得到皮膚病，只好遮著頭臉，前來與他見面。尊者建議她做些善行功德：他請她 變賣一些首飾，所得的錢財用來興建供大眾做善行功德的廳堂。蘿西妮答應他的建議。 尊者也請其他的親戚協助她。他更建議蘿西妮在工程進行時幫忙掃地，用水裝滿所有罐 子。蘿西妮遵照他的話做，病就日漸好轉。

　　廳堂興建完成時，佛陀和眾多比丘被邀請前來接受供養。應供後，佛陀詢問捐獻者 是誰，但蘿西妮卻不在現場，佛陀就請她前來。等蘿西妮來向佛陀頂禮之後，佛陀告訴 她罹患皮膚病的原因，是因為過去某一世時，她在憤怒下所作惡業的結果。佛陀說，那 時候她是波羅奈國王的皇后，但國王卻寵愛一位跳舞女郎，她因此嫉妒那位舞女。有一 天，她指使僕人事先在舞女的床舖和地毯上灑上會使人發癢的粉末，再用這種粉末灑向 舞女身上，加以羞辱。全身發癢的舞女痛苦不堪地倒在床上，但卻更加痛苦。

　　由於犯下這惡行，蘿西妮今生才會罹患皮膚病。佛陀接著告誡大眾，憤怒時不要魯 莽從事，也不可以對人懷有惡意。

　　佛陀說法完畢後，很多人，包括蘿西妮在內都證得聖果。蘿西妮的皮膚病也痊癒了 ，容貌變得清澄光滑。
