佛說六道伽陀經
西天中印度摩伽陀國那爛陀寺三藏傳教大師賜紫沙門臣法天奉 詔譯
歸命一切佛， 及諸菩薩眾， 愿開正智慧， 憶念佛功德。 歸依三界尊， 身口意三業， 所作善不善， 為彼作分別。 彼人受果報， 無有主宰者， 三界天中尊， 愿起于悲智， 廣為世間說， 我今聞彼說。 如依于輪迴， 觀察業果報， 佛說惡道因， 貪瞋癡為本。 若人行殺害， 彼業隨纏縛， 決定墮等活， 五百歲方出。 彼彼等活者， 重重受生死， 是故說等活。 父母及親姻， 眷屬善知識， 欺慢若憎嫌， 墮落於黑繩。 熾焰粗澀繩， 纏縛有情體， 如鋸解樹木， 是故名黑繩。 若墮于炎熱， 猛火競來燒， 焰焰相接續， 令彼罪業人， 奔聚都一處， 燒燃苦惱深， 是故說炎熱。 修習非法行， 惱亂于大眾， 說彼無有盡， 墮彼極炎熱。 入此惡道已， 熾極火燒煮， 熱苦受長時， 是名極炎熱。 豬羊狼兔等， 及余諸物命， 如是行殺害， 而墮于眾合
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 皈依一切諸佛，以及諸菩薩眾， 愿開啟真正的智慧，憶念佛陀的功德。 皈依三界至尊，以身、口、意三業， 對於所作的善與不善，為此作出分別。 那些人承受果報，沒有主宰者， 三界天中的至尊，愿生起悲憫與智慧， 廣泛地為世間宣說，我如今聽聞這些。 如依于輪迴，觀察業的果報， 佛說惡道的起因，是貪、嗔、癡為根本。 如果有人行殺害，那業力便會纏縛著他， 必定墮入等活地獄，五百歲后才能脫離。 那些等活地獄的眾生，重重地感受生死， 所以稱為等活地獄。對於父母以及親眷， 眷屬和善知識，如果欺騙、輕慢或憎恨， 便會墮落於黑繩地獄。熾熱粗糙的繩索， 纏縛著有情的身體，如同用鋸子解剖樹木， 所以名為黑繩地獄。如果墮入炎熱地獄， 猛烈的火焰競相燃燒，火焰與火焰相接續， 讓那些罪業深重的人，奔跑聚集到一處， 燃燒的苦惱極深，所以說炎熱地獄。 修習非法行為，惱亂大眾， 佛說這種行為沒有盡頭，會墮入極炎熱地獄。 進入這種惡道之後，被熾熱的火焰燒煮， 感受長久的痛苦，這名為極炎熱地獄。 像豬、羊、狼、兔等，以及其餘的生命， 如果這樣行殺害，便會墮入眾合地獄。
【English Translation】 English version I take refuge in all Buddhas, and all Bodhisattvas, May I open true wisdom, and remember the merits of the Buddha. I take refuge in the尊(Zun, the Honored One) of the three realms, with body, speech, and mind, Making distinctions between the good and bad deeds I have done. Those people receive karmic retribution, without a ruler, The Honored One in the heavens of the three realms, may you arise with compassion and wisdom, Widely proclaiming to the world, I now hear these teachings. As one relies on輪迴(Lunhui, Samsara), observing the karmic retribution, The Buddha said the cause of evil paths is rooted in greed, hatred, and delusion. If someone commits killing, that karma will bind them, They will surely fall into the 等活(Deng Huo, Sañjīva) hell, and only escape after five hundred years. Those beings in the 等活(Deng Huo, Sañjīva) hell, repeatedly experience birth and death, Therefore it is called 等活(Deng Huo, Sañjīva) hell. Towards parents and relatives, Family members and good teachers, if one deceives, belittles, or hates, They will fall into the 黑繩(Hei Sheng, Kālasūtra) hell. Fierce and rough ropes, Bind the bodies of sentient beings, like sawing wood, Therefore it is called 黑繩(Hei Sheng, Kālasūtra) hell. If one falls into the 炎熱(Yan Re, Tapana) hell, Fierce flames compete to burn, flames connecting to flames, Causing those with heavy sins to run and gather in one place, The burning suffering is extremely deep, therefore it is called 炎熱(Yan Re, Tapana) hell. Practicing unlawful conduct, disturbing the masses, The Buddha said there is no end to such behavior, one will fall into the 極炎熱(Ji Yan Re, Pratāpana) hell. After entering this evil path, being boiled by fierce flames, Enduring prolonged suffering, this is called 極炎熱(Ji Yan Re, Pratāpana) hell. Like pigs, sheep, wolves, rabbits, etc., and other living beings, If one commits killing in this way, they will fall into the 眾合(Zhong He, Samghāta) hell.
。 墮彼惡趣已， 眾山合身碎， 痛苦不可當， 故得名眾合。 若起身口意， 而發諸煩惱， 欺誑于有情， 墮落於號叫。 入彼惡道已， 暴惡火燒身， 叫苦聲不絕， 是故名號叫。 聖賢凈行師， 所有財寶等， 若貪若偷盜， 而墮大號叫。 若諸偷盜業， 感大火燒身， 叫喚出大聲， 是名大號叫。 作大功德人， 及與父母等， 譭謗而返恩， 決定墮無間。 持罰骨髓碎， 受苦純無間， 身命報等爾， 是故名無間。 互相愛憎嫉， 並及相殺害， 感彼惡趣身， 手生鋒刃甲， 如是鐵爪甲， 甲長十六指， 暴惡熾焱身， 抓護相損害， 故名鋒刃甲。 愚癡邪淫者， 登彼鐵叉樹， 大身鐵牙鬼， 醜惡身炎熾， 逼惱恒無盡。 復有鐵烏鳥， 獯狐諸惡獸， 食啖彼有情。 復生劍葉林， 割截于罪人， 叫喚出惡聲， 痛苦不可忍。 諂誑妄言者， 吞食熱鐵丸， 而復飲洋銅， 重重無暫住。 輕慢若欺他， 鐵牙惡獸等， 來食身上肉， 受苦俱胝歲。 愛行非法行， 墮入洋銅河， 大熾洋銅汁， 燒煮或浮沉。 又復自愚迷， 勸
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 墮入那惡趣之後，身體被眾山壓碎，痛苦無法承受，所以叫做眾合地獄（Samghata）。 如果身口意三方面，生起各種煩惱，欺騙愚弄眾生，就會墮落到號叫地獄（Raurava）。 進入那惡道之後，被猛烈的火焰焚燒身體，痛苦的叫聲不絕於耳，所以叫做號叫地獄。 對於聖賢和清凈修行的僧侶，他們的所有財物，如果貪婪或偷盜，就會墮入大號叫地獄（Maharaurava）。 如果因為偷盜的行為，感得被大火焚燒身體的果報，痛苦地大聲叫喊，這就叫做大號叫地獄。 對於那些做了大功德的人，以及父母等等，如果誹謗他們，恩將仇報，必定會墮入無間地獄（Avici）。 在那裡，受刑的骨髓碎裂，所受的痛苦純粹而沒有間斷，身命和業報相等，所以叫做無間地獄。 如果互相之間愛恨嫉妒，甚至互相殘殺，就會感得生在惡趣之中，手上生出鋒利的爪甲。 這樣的鐵爪甲，每個指頭長達十六指，兇暴的火焰纏繞身體，互相抓撓傷害，所以叫做鋒刃甲地獄（Khura-dhara）。 愚癡邪淫的人，會登上鐵叉樹，巨大的鐵牙惡鬼，醜陋的身體燃燒著火焰，無休止地逼迫惱害他們。 還有鐵烏鴉，獯狐等各種惡獸，吞食這些受苦的有情眾生。還會生出劍葉林， 割截罪人的身體，發出悽慘的叫聲，痛苦無法忍受。那些諂媚虛妄說謊的人， 會被迫吞食燒紅的鐵丸，還要喝滾燙的銅汁，痛苦重重沒有片刻停歇。如果輕慢或欺騙他人， 鐵牙惡獸等，會來吞食他們身上的肉，遭受數不清的痛苦。如果貪愛並做出不合法的行為， 就會墮入洋銅河，被熾熱的銅汁燒煮，或者在其中浮沉。還有那些自己愚昧迷惑，勸
【English Translation】 English version Having fallen into that evil realm, their bodies are crushed by mountains, the suffering is unbearable, hence it is called Samghata (Crushing). If, through body, speech, and mind, various afflictions arise, deceiving and misleading sentient beings, one will fall into Raurava (Howling Hell). Having entered that evil path, the body is burned by fierce flames, the cries of suffering are incessant, hence it is called Howling Hell. Regarding the possessions of saints and pure practitioners, if one is greedy or steals them, one will fall into Maharaurava (Great Howling Hell). If, due to the act of stealing, one experiences the retribution of being burned by great fire, crying out loudly in pain, this is called Great Howling Hell. Those who have performed great meritorious deeds, as well as parents and others, if they slander them and repay kindness with malice, they will certainly fall into Avici (Uninterrupted Hell). There, the marrow of the bones is crushed by punishment, the suffering is purely uninterrupted, life and retribution are equal, hence it is called Uninterrupted Hell. If there is mutual love, hatred, jealousy, and even killing, one will be reborn in an evil realm, with sharp claws growing on their hands. Such iron claws, each finger sixteen digits long, with fierce flames surrounding the body, scratching and harming each other, hence it is called Khura-dhara (Razor-edged Hell). Those who are foolish and engage in perverse sexual conduct will climb the iron stake tree, with huge iron-toothed demons, their ugly bodies burning with flames, constantly tormenting them without end. There are also iron crows, jackals, and various evil beasts, devouring these suffering sentient beings. There also arises a forest of sword leaves, cutting the bodies of sinners, causing them to cry out in agony, the suffering unbearable. Those who are flattering and deceitful liars, are forced to swallow red-hot iron balls, and then drink molten copper, suffering repeatedly without a moment's rest. If one is disrespectful or deceives others, iron-toothed demons and beasts come to devour the flesh of their bodies, enduring countless years of suffering. If one is attached to and engages in unlawful conduct, they will fall into the river of molten copper, boiled by the blazing copper liquid, either being cooked or floating in it. Furthermore, those who are deluded and advise
作非法行， 往彼鐵輪獄， 而被鐵火輪， 碾拶身無數， 或以鐵磨磨， 或上刀山等。 若人說邪道， 破正法為非， 滿道排鋒刃， 令彼往來行， 業力令身大， 驅逐聚一處， 四面山石合， 如指甲拶虱。 若壞修習行， 遠離正等因， 僻執心意邪， 定入由增獄。 暴惡蛆蟲類， 恒居糞穢中， 罪者游履時， 食啖于雙足。 種植壓油等， 蠕動多傷殺， 重重臥鐵槽， 熱鐵棒捶打。 若起極瞋怒， 造彼諸惡罪， 死墮焰魔剎， 具受一切苦。 破結善種子， 身口意俱罪， 智者勿作罪， 地獄相如是。
地獄品頌竟。
牛驢猿猴等， 鳩鴿鵝鴨身， 行恚與貪淫， 獲報斯如是。 豺狼猛虎犳， 蝮蝎及毒蛇， 瞋忿我慢深， 獲報斯如是。 烏鵲雕鷲等， 蜈蚣路多蟲， 羆熊貓牛馬， 龍魚㜸路荼， 如是傍生等， 增益惡三業， 墜墮焰魔界， 獲報斯如是。
傍生品頌竟。
障他佈施福， 偷盜于飲食， 墮在布怛那， 饑虛為餓鬼。 愚癡慳鄙人， 我慢乏禮樂， 求食又無慚， 死為大癭鬼。 自不行檀度， 勸他作慳貪，
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 造作非法行為的人，會墮入鐵輪獄（Tie Lun Yu，鐵輪地獄）， 在那裡被鐵火輪碾壓身體無數次， 或者被鐵磨磨碎，或者登上刀山等等。 如果有人宣揚邪道，把正法說成不是正法， 在道路上佈滿鋒利的刀刃，讓那些人往來行走， 業力使他們的身體變得巨大，驅趕他們聚集在一處， 四面的山石合攏，就像用指甲擠壓虱子一樣。 如果破壞修行，遠離正確的因緣， 偏執于邪惡的心意，必定會墮入由增獄（You Zeng Yu）。 暴惡的蛆蟲之類的生物，總是居住在糞穢之中， 罪人在那裡行走時，它們會啃食罪人的雙腳。 那些從事種植、榨油等行業的人，因為蠕動生物而造成許多傷害和殺戮， 他們會重重地躺在鐵槽中，被熱鐵棒捶打。 如果生起極大的嗔怒，造作各種惡罪， 死後會墮入焰魔剎（Yan Mo Cha），承受一切痛苦。 破壞結善的種子，身口意都造作罪業， 智者不要作惡，地獄的景象就是這樣。
地獄品頌完畢。
牛、驢、猿猴等，以及鳩、鴿、鵝、鴨等， 因為生前的嗔恚和貪淫，會獲得這樣的果報。 豺狼、猛虎、犳（一種野獸），以及蝮蛇、蝎子和毒蛇， 因為生前的嗔忿和我慢深重，會獲得這樣的果報。 烏鴉、喜鵲、雕、鷲等，以及蜈蚣、路多蟲（一種蟲）， 熊、貓、牛、馬，以及龍、魚、㜸路荼（一種鳥）， 這些傍生（動物）等，因為增長惡的三業， 墮入焰魔界（Yan Mo Jie），會獲得這樣的果報。
傍生品頌完畢。
障礙他人佈施的福報，偷盜飲食， 會墮入布怛那（Bu Da Na），遭受飢餓成為餓鬼。 愚癡、慳吝鄙嗇的人，傲慢無禮， 乞求食物又不知羞恥，死後會成為大癭鬼（Da Ying Gui）。 自己不實行佈施，反而勸他人慳貪，
【English Translation】 English version Those who commit unlawful deeds will fall into Tie Lun Yu (鐵輪獄, Iron Wheel Hell), Where their bodies are crushed countless times by iron fire wheels, Or ground by iron mills, or made to climb knife mountains, and so on. If someone promotes heretical paths, denouncing the true Dharma as false, Spreading sharp blades along the roads, forcing people to walk back and forth, The power of karma will enlarge their bodies, driving them to gather in one place, The surrounding mountains and rocks will close in, squeezing them like lice between fingernails. If they destroy the practice of cultivation, turning away from the causes of enlightenment, Clinging stubbornly to evil intentions, they will surely fall into You Zeng Yu (由增獄). Vile and wicked maggots and worms always dwell in filth, When sinners walk there, they devour their feet. Those who engage in planting, oil pressing, and other industries, causing much harm and killing due to wriggling creatures, Will lie heavily in iron troughs, beaten by hot iron rods. If they arise with extreme anger, creating all kinds of evil deeds, After death, they will fall into Yan Mo Cha (焰魔剎), enduring all suffering. Destroying the seeds of good karma, committing sins with body, speech, and mind, The wise should not commit evil; such is the appearance of hell.

The chapter on Animals is complete.
Obstructing others' blessings of generosity, stealing food and drink, They will fall into Bu Da Na (布怛那), suffering hunger as hungry ghosts. Foolish, stingy, and mean people, arrogant and lacking in etiquette, Begging for food without shame, after death, they will become Da Ying Gui (大癭鬼, Big Goiter Ghosts). Not practicing generosity themselves, but instead encouraging others to be stingy,
而墮餓鬼中， 腹大咽如針。 慳貪深厚者， 護財如眼睛， 貧病與佛僧， 不能施少分， 亦復不自用， 父母莫能得， 死墮餓鬼身， 漿飲永不遇。 若盜他財物， 施已心生悔， 亦墮餓鬼身， 常食于膿唾。 口出惡言語， 謗毀於賢善， 墮彼餓鬼中， 口生於火炬。 慳貪與諍訟， 惡意窺他財， 墮彼餓鬼中， 微獲祭祀食， 或入聚落處， 見彼遺棄食， 嘔吐涎唾等， 而恒為美饌。 自行慳障礙， 離間他行施， 為鬼恭槃荼， 惡形生膿血。 傷殺群生類， 自食與他食， 墮鬼羅剎娑， 愛食鬘香粖。 雖然施飲食， 少分懷瞋恚， 墮鬼健闥婆， 作樂諸天愛。 若愛于兩舌， 斗亂行瞋恚， 墮鬼畢舍佐， 頭面而醜惡。 雖愛行檀施， 而恒苦惱人， 墮彼惡趣中， 為彼母馱鬼。 自行猛利殺， 教他猛利殺， 墮彼藥叉身， 亦復惡猛利。 父母師長等， 所欲多違背， 墮彼藥叉宮， 勇健行暴惡。 慳貪瞋果報， 餓鬼藥叉等， 苦樂隨自因， 諸惡不須作。
餓鬼品頌竟。
天及修羅人， 福壽有差等， 樂求生天者，
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 墮入餓鬼道中，他們的肚子大得像山，咽喉卻細得像針孔。 那些極度吝嗇貪婪的人，守護自己的財產就像守護自己的眼睛一樣， 對於貧窮的人、生病的人以及佛和僧侶，連少許的施捨都不肯付出， 自己也不捨得享用，甚至連父母都無法得到他們的資助， 這樣的人死後就會墮入餓鬼道，永遠無法得到漿水飲料。 如果盜取他人的財物，即使施捨了，心裡又感到後悔， 也會墮入餓鬼道，經常以膿和唾液為食。 如果口出惡語，誹謗和詆譭賢良之人， 死後會墮入餓鬼道中，口中生出火焰。 因為吝嗇貪婪和好爭鬥，心懷惡意窺視他人的財產， 死後會墮入餓鬼道中，只能勉強獲得祭祀的食物， 或者進入村落，看到別人遺棄的食物， 如嘔吐物、涎水、唾沫等，卻把這些當作美味的食物。 自己吝嗇，阻礙施捨，還離間他人行善佈施， 死後會成為恭槃荼（Kumbhanda，一種惡鬼），外形醜陋，身上生滿膿血。 如果傷害和殺害眾生，無論是自己食用還是給他人食用， 死後會墮入羅剎娑（Rakshasa，一種惡鬼）道，喜歡吃花鬘、香料和粉末。 即使施捨飲食，但心中懷有少許的嗔恨， 死後會墮入健闥婆（Gandharva，一種天神）道，成為奏樂的天人，受諸天喜愛。 如果喜歡搬弄是非，挑撥離間，心懷嗔恨， 死後會墮入畢舍佐（Pisacha，一種惡鬼）道，頭面醜陋。 雖然喜歡行佈施，但總是給別人帶來痛苦和煩惱， 死後會墮入惡趣之中，成為母馱（Mutada，一種惡鬼）鬼。 自己進行殘忍的殺戮，或者教唆他人進行殘忍的殺戮， 死後會墮入藥叉（Yaksa，一種守護神）身，同樣兇惡殘暴。 對於父母、師長等人的願望，經常違背， 死後會墮入藥叉宮殿，勇猛強健，行為暴戾兇惡。 吝嗇和嗔恨的果報，就是墮入餓鬼道和藥叉道等， 痛苦和快樂都由自己的行為所決定，所以各種惡行都不要去做。 《餓鬼品》的頌文到此結束。 天人、阿修羅（Asura，一種神）和人類，他們的福報和壽命各有差別， 希望能夠往生到天界的人，
【English Translation】 English version They fall into the realm of hungry ghosts, with bellies as large as mountains and throats as thin as needles. Those who are deeply stingy and greedy, guarding their wealth as if it were their own eyes, Are unable to give even a small portion to the poor, the sick, or the Buddhas and Sangha, Nor do they use it for themselves; even their parents cannot obtain anything from them. After death, they fall into the body of a hungry ghost, never encountering even a drop of liquid. If they steal the property of others, and then feel regret after giving it away, They will also fall into the body of a hungry ghost, constantly feeding on pus and saliva. If they utter evil words, slandering and defaming the virtuous and good, They will fall into the realm of hungry ghosts, with torches of fire emerging from their mouths. Due to stinginess, greed, and contention, maliciously spying on the wealth of others, They fall into the realm of hungry ghosts, barely obtaining food from sacrifices, Or entering villages and seeing abandoned food, Such as vomit, phlegm, and saliva, which they constantly regard as delicious meals. They themselves are stingy, obstructing generosity, and alienating others from practicing charity, They become Kumbhandas (a type of demon), with ugly forms covered in pus and blood. If they harm and kill living beings, whether for their own consumption or for others, They fall into the realm of Rakshasas (a type of demon), who love to eat garlands, incense, and powders. Even if they give food and drink, but harbor a small amount of anger, They fall into the realm of Gandharvas (a type of celestial being), becoming musicians loved by the gods. If they love to engage in divisive speech, causing strife and harboring anger, They fall into the realm of Pisachas (a type of demon), with ugly heads and faces. Although they love to practice generosity, they constantly cause suffering and distress to others, They fall into the evil realms, becoming Mutada ghosts (a type of demon). They themselves engage in fierce killing, or incite others to engage in fierce killing, They fall into the body of Yakshas (a type of guardian spirit), who are also fierce and violent. They often disobey the wishes of their parents, teachers, and elders, They fall into the Yaksha palaces, brave and strong, acting violently and wickedly. The karmic consequences of stinginess and anger are falling into the realms of hungry ghosts and Yakshas, etc. Suffering and happiness are determined by one's own actions, so all kinds of evil deeds should not be done. The verses of the 'Hungry Ghost' chapter are completed. Gods, Asuras (a type of deity), and humans have different levels of blessings and lifespans, Those who desire to be reborn in the heavens,
堅持八齋戒， 快樂壽命長， 遠離疾病苦。 于禁若破犯， 少分樂生天， 而墮于修羅， 部多為眷屬。 雖不盜他財， 纖毫不行施， 吝惜廣慳貪， 而為守財鬼。 不盜亦不施， 不慳亦不貪， 決定得人身， 衣食多辛苦。 不盜不貪瞋， 守分而安住， 美味施聖賢， 彼得生人世， 壽命具色力， 吉祥而無病。 恒時行施食， 凈信具慚愧， 得富貴端嚴， 廣饒資畜等。 若施田宅等， 及造僧伽藍， 令彼心歡喜， 于自彼身中， 一切隨所欲， 若施於鞋履， 供養佛僧等， 遊行得安樂， 常獲車騎乘。 若於曠野中， 施水作泉井， 而復作陰涼， 令彼無疲渴， 當獲于妙花， 吉祥廣嚴飾， 柔軟身圓滿。 若於傳法人， 舍施童子等， 后復得為人， 聰明多智慧。 若施於藥餌， 當離一切病， 若施於燈明， 眼目長清凈， 若施於音樂， 口生美妙音， 若施臥具等， 當感身安樂， 若施傍類食， 長壽多色力， 若放女出家， 眷屬獲增長， 若以田地施， 得花果流泉。 若怖于輪迴， 親覲于賢聖， 所須隨供養， 精進常恭
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 堅持八齋戒（Astanga-sila，佛教的八條戒律）， 快樂壽命長， 遠離疾病苦。 于禁若破犯， 少分樂生天， 而墮于修羅（Asura，一種神道）， 部多（Bhuta，一種鬼神）為眷屬。 雖不盜他財， 纖毫不行施， 吝惜廣慳貪， 而為守財鬼。 不盜亦不施， 不慳亦不貪， 決定得人身， 衣食多辛苦。 不盜不貪瞋， 守分而安住， 美味施聖賢， 彼得生人世， 壽命具色力， 吉祥而無病。 恒時行施食， 凈信具慚愧， 得富貴端嚴， 廣饒資畜等。 若施田宅等， 及造僧伽藍（Samgharama，寺院）， 令彼心歡喜， 于自彼身中， 一切隨所欲， 若施於鞋履， 供養佛僧等， 得安樂， 常獲車騎乘。 若於曠野中， 施水作泉井， 而復作陰涼， 令彼無疲渴， 當獲于妙花， 吉祥廣嚴飾， 柔軟身圓滿。 若於傳法人， 舍施童子等， 后復得為人， 聰明多智慧。 若施於藥餌， 當離一切病， 若施於燈明， 眼目長清凈， 若施於音樂， 口生美妙音， 若施臥具等， 當感身安樂， 若施傍類食， 長壽多色力， 若放女出家， 眷屬獲增長， 若以田地施， 得花果流泉。 若怖于輪迴， 親覲于賢聖， 所須隨供養， 精進常恭
【English Translation】 English version Adhering to the eight precepts (Astanga-sila, the eight precepts in Buddhism), Leads to happiness and longevity, Far from the suffering of disease. If these precepts are broken, A small portion of joy leads to rebirth in heaven, But one may fall into the realm of Asuras (a type of deity), With Bhutas (a type of spirit) as companions. Though one does not steal the wealth of others, Not even a hair's breadth of generosity is practiced, Miserliness and greed abound, And one becomes a guarding ghost of wealth. Neither stealing nor giving, Neither miserly nor greedy, One is destined to be born as a human, With much hardship in clothing and food.

If one fears Samsara (cycle of rebirth), And approaches the virtuous and wise, Offering whatever is needed, Diligently and respectfully
敬， 善破于煩惱， 當得安樂果。 悲愍不慳吝， 輟己而施他， 定感富饒果， 衣食自豐足。 如彼四時中， 隨時行佈施， 崇重具儀式， 當獲一切福。 偷盜他財物， 自己作所須， 違背于真空， 煩惱不捨離。 不作有相心， 依如行佈施， 如是佈施果， 無為大安樂。 如人離淫慾， 童男等不生， 遠出至他方， 無思無掛礙。 若人著淫慾， 心行無返復， 狂亂自耽著， 永墮於三涂。 嫌棄于女人， 修戒薄癡愛， 復至命終時， 猶如破毒氣。 若行正等因， 不捨于梵行， 精進得吉祥， 天人恒供養。 堅固不迷亂， 無飲酒妄言， 出語常真實， 獲名聞安樂。 種種造飲食， 供養和合眾， 當感善眷屬， 同生不動國。 互相作承事， 歡喜意無違， 觀察諦理空， 不欺不顛倒， 苦惱永已盡， 安樂而解脫。 若好於戲論， 歌舞著頑愚， 我慢恃端嚴， 欺𪌒于貧賤， 當受背傴身， 瘖啞形痤陋， 疾病鎮纏縛， 語言而不遜， 罪苦轉彌深， 無因得安樂。 寂靜心恬澹， 一切善出生， 報應果不虛， 速成離苦道。
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 敬重地， 善於破除煩惱，就能得到安樂的果報。 以慈悲之心憐憫他人，不吝嗇，捨棄自己的所需來佈施給他人， 必定感得富饒的果報，衣食自然豐足。 就像四季之中，隨時施行佈施， 崇敬重視並具足儀式，就能獲得一切福報。 偷盜他人的財物，用來滿足自己的需求， 這是違背真空的道理，煩惱不會舍離。 不以執著于外相的心，而是依循真如的道理去行佈施， 這樣的佈施果報，是無為而得的大安樂。 就像人遠離淫慾，就不會有童男等再生， 遠離家鄉到其他地方，心中沒有思念和牽掛。 如果人執著于淫慾，心行沒有返回和停止的時候， 狂亂而沉溺其中，將永遠墮入三惡道（三塗）。 嫌棄女人，修持戒律，減少癡愛， 直到命終之時，就像破除毒氣一樣。 如果奉行正等之因，不捨棄清凈的修行（梵行）， 精進修行就能得到吉祥，天人和世人都會供養。 堅定不迷亂，不飲酒，不說虛妄之語， 說出的話常常真實，就能獲得名聲、安樂。 用種種美好的飲食，供養和合的僧眾， 將感得善良的眷屬，一同往生到不動佛國。 互相承事，心懷歡喜沒有違逆， 觀察真諦，了知諸法性空，不欺騙，不顛倒， 苦惱永遠止息，得到安樂和解脫。 如果喜歡戲論，沉迷於歌舞，執著于愚癡， 傲慢自大，仗恃自己的容貌端莊，欺騙貧賤的人， 將受到駝背彎腰的果報，變成瘖啞、醜陋的樣子， 疾病纏身，言語粗俗不遜， 罪苦越來越深重，沒有得到安樂的因緣。 內心寂靜恬淡，一切善法由此而生， 報應的果報真實不虛，迅速成就脫離痛苦的道路。
【English Translation】 English version Reverently, Being good at breaking through afflictions, one will obtain the fruit of peace and happiness. With a compassionate heart, pitying others, not being stingy, giving up one's own needs to give to others, One will surely reap the fruit of wealth and abundance, with clothing and food naturally plentiful. Just like in the four seasons, practicing giving at any time, Respectfully valuing and possessing the proper rituals, one will obtain all blessings. Stealing the property of others to satisfy one's own needs, This is contrary to the principle of emptiness, and afflictions will not depart. Not with a mind attached to appearances, but following the principle of suchness to practice giving, The fruit of such giving is the great peace and happiness obtained through non-action. Just as a person who is detached from lust will not have boys born again, Leaving home to other places, the mind has no thoughts or attachments. If a person is attached to lust, the mind has no return or cessation, Being frantic and indulging in it, one will forever fall into the three evil realms (three paths). Disliking women, cultivating precepts, reducing infatuation and love, Until the end of life, it is like breaking poisonous gas. If practicing the cause of right equality, not abandoning pure conduct (Brahma-conduct), Diligent practice will obtain auspiciousness, and gods and humans will constantly make offerings. Being firm and not confused, not drinking alcohol, not speaking false words, Speaking words that are always true, one will obtain fame, peace, and happiness. Using all kinds of fine food and drink to make offerings to the harmonious Sangha, One will be rewarded with kind family members, and together be reborn in the Buddha-land of Akshobhya (Immovable). Serving each other, with joyful hearts and no opposition, Observing the true meaning, knowing the emptiness of all dharmas, not deceiving, not being inverted, Suffering will be forever extinguished, and one will attain peace and liberation. If one likes frivolous talk, indulging in singing and dancing, clinging to ignorance, Being arrogant and relying on one's beautiful appearance, deceiving the poor and lowly, One will receive the retribution of a hunched back, becoming mute and ugly, Afflicted by diseases, speaking vulgar and disrespectful words, The suffering of sins will become deeper and deeper, with no cause to obtain peace and happiness. With a quiet and peaceful mind, all good things arise, The retribution of cause and effect is true and not false, quickly accomplishing the path of liberation from suffering.
人趣品頌竟。
諂誑行毀禁， 毒害斗諍深， 廣縱于無明， 必墮修羅趣。
修羅品頌竟。
棄名利歡樂， 遠離於親眷， 持禁中下品， 生彼四王天。 父母親族等， 種種作供養， 遠諍奉律儀， 獲生忉利天。 慈喜無傷殺， 和顏離愛憎， 純善守尸羅， 得生夜摩界。 多聞持法教， 修慧求解脫， 積德具威儀， 獲生於睹史。 若人自出家， 佈施堅持戒， 令彼大安樂， 得生變化天。 上根有情類， 持戒亦最上， 功德超越前， 生他化自在。 持戒生天上， 禪定亦如是， 智慧若薰脩， 牽引復生慧， 善惡業果報， 我說無虛謬。 由善得安樂， 作惡獲苦惱， 老病死輪轉， 果報自如是。 審觀此三種， 勿愛須棄捨， 求福遠離罪， 了絕於色聲， 通達真實義， 必至大解脫。
佛說六道伽陀經
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 《人趣品》的頌文結束。
如果行為充滿諂媚和欺騙，違犯戒律， 充滿毒害和爭鬥， 並且在無明（avidyā）中放縱， 必定會墮入修羅趣（Asura-gati）。
《修羅品》的頌文結束。
如果捨棄名利和歡樂， 遠離親屬眷戀， 持守戒律中的下品， 就能往生到四王天（Cāturmahārājika）。 如果對父母親族等， 以種種物品進行供養， 遠離爭鬥，奉行律儀， 就能獲得往生忉利天（Trāyastriṃśa）的機會。 如果心懷慈悲和喜悅，不傷害殺戮， 面容和善，遠離愛憎， 純粹善良，守護尸羅（Śīla，戒律）， 就能得以往生夜摩界（Yāmadevaloka）。 如果廣聞佛法，持守法教， 修習智慧，求解脫， 積累功德，具足威儀， 就能獲得往生兜率天（Tuṣita）的機會。 如果有人自己出家， 佈施，堅持戒律， 令他人獲得巨大的安樂， 就能得以往生化樂天（Nirmāṇarati）。 如果是有上等根器的有情眾生， 持戒也是最上等的， 功德超越前者， 就能往生他化自在天（Parinirmita-vaśavartin）。 持戒能夠往生天上， 禪定也能達到同樣的效果， 如果熏修智慧， 牽引力會再次產生智慧， 善惡業的果報， 我說的話沒有虛假錯誤。 因為行善而得到安樂， 作惡則會獲得苦惱， 在衰老、疾病和死亡的輪迴中， 果報自然就是這樣。 仔細觀察這三種現象， 不要貪愛，必須捨棄， 尋求福報，遠離罪惡， 了斷對於色和聲的執著， 通達真實的意義， 必定能夠達到大解脫。
《佛說六道伽陀經》
【English Translation】 English version The verses of the 'Human Realm' chapter are completed.
If one's conduct is full of flattery and deceit, violates precepts, Is filled with poison and strife, And indulges in ignorance (avidyā), One will surely fall into the Asura-gati (realm of Asuras).
The verses of the 'Asura Realm' chapter are completed.
If one abandons fame, profit, and joy, Keeps away from relatives and loved ones, Maintains the lower grade of precepts, One will be born in the Cāturmahārājika (Heaven of the Four Kings). If one offers various kinds of offerings To parents, relatives, and so on, Keeps away from strife and upholds the Vinaya (rules of discipline), One will obtain birth in the Trāyastriṃśa (Heaven of Thirty-three). If one has compassion and joy, does not harm or kill, Has a kind face, is free from love and hatred, Is purely virtuous, and guards Śīla (precepts), One will be born in the Yāmadevaloka (Heaven of Yama). If one is learned, upholds the Dharma teachings, Cultivates wisdom, and seeks liberation, Accumulates merit, and possesses dignity, One will obtain birth in the Tuṣita (Heaven). If one renounces the household life oneself, Practices generosity, and firmly upholds the precepts, Brings great joy to others, One will be born in the Nirmāṇarati (Heaven of Enjoying Transformations). If one is a sentient being with superior faculties, And also upholds the highest precepts, And one's merits surpass the former, One will be born in the Parinirmita-vaśavartin (Heaven of Controlling Others' Creations). Upholding precepts leads to birth in the heavens, Samādhi (meditative absorption) also does the same, If wisdom is cultivated, The force of attraction will again produce wisdom, The karmic results of good and evil deeds, My words are without falsehood or error. Through good deeds, one obtains happiness, By doing evil, one obtains suffering, In the cycle of old age, sickness, and death, The karmic results are naturally like this. Carefully observe these three phenomena, Do not be attached, one must abandon them, Seek blessings, keep away from sins, Cut off attachment to form and sound, Penetrate the true meaning, One will surely attain great liberation.
