故事时间到！佛护尊者继续为大家讲解《胜利吉祥偈》系列里的三个故事。

Story time! Ven. Buddharakkhita will continue to share with us 3 stories from Jaya-maṅgala Gāthā series (Chinese).

Ukkhitta-khagga-mati-hattha-sudāruṇaṁ taṁ,
dhāvaṁ ti-yojana-pathaṅguli-mālavantaṁ,
Iddhībhisaṅkhatamano jitavā Munindo,
taṁ tejasā bhavatu te jaya-maṅgalāni!

He being very cruel and with a sword raised in his skilled hand, [Aṅgulimāla] running for three leagues along the path garlanded with fingers, the Lord of Sages conquered by performing a psychic feat: by the power of that may there be triumphant blessings for you!

手中高举着刀剑，凶暴的戴指鬘者追赶了三由旬的路；牟尼王以意所作神变而胜利。以其威力，愿你胜利吉祥！

Katvāna kaṭṭham•udaraṁ iva gabbhinīyā,
Ciñcāya duṭṭha-vacanaṁ jana-kāya-majjhe,
Santena soma-vidhinā jitavā Munindo,
taṁ tejasā bhavatu te jaya-maṅgalāni!

Having made her belly like she was pregnant [by tying on] a piece of wood, Ciñcā spoke indecently (falsely accusing the Buddha) in the midst of the crowd. The Lord of Sages conquered her by fair and peaceful means: by the power of that may there be triumphant blessings for you!

肚藏木块扮孕妇，金吒在人群中恶言；牟尼王以静默优雅的方法而胜利。以其威力，愿你胜利吉祥！

Saccaṁ vihāya mati’ Saccaka-vāda-ketuṁ,
vādābhiropitamanaṁ ati-andha-bhūtaṁ,
Paññā-padīpa-jalito jitavā Munindo,
taṁ tejasā bhavatu te jaya-maṅgalāni!

Forsaking the truth and reason was a sign of Saccaka’s philosophy, which was well developed but completely blind; the Lord of Sages conquered [him] by the blazing lamp of wisdom: by the power of that may there be triumphant blessings for you!

傲慢的辩论之幢萨吒咖舍弃了真理，意在辩论极盲目；牟尼王以慧灯的光辉而胜利。以其威力，愿你胜利吉祥！
