這是我的翻譯: 索納丹達經坎佩亞的婆羅門和居士們如是我聞。一時,世尊與大比丘眾約五百人在安哦國遊行,來到了坎帕城。世尊住在坎帕城伽伽羅池畔。當時,婆羅門索納丹達居住在坎帕城。這座城市人口眾多,草木茂盛,水源充足,穀物豐饒,是摩揭陀國頻毗娑羅王賜予他的王室封地,作為婆羅門的贈禮。坎佩亞的婆羅門和居士們聽說:"沙門喬達摩,釋迦族人,從釋迦族出家,與大比丘眾約五百人在安哦國遊行,已到達坎帕城,住在伽伽羅池畔。關於這位喬達摩尊者,有這樣的美名廣為流傳:'他是如來、阿羅漢、正等正覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛、世尊。'他以自己的智慧證悟並宣說了這個包括天、魔、梵天、沙門婆羅門、天神人類在內的世界。他宣說的法義初善、中善、后善,有義有文,顯示完全圓滿清凈的梵行。見到這樣的阿羅漢是很好的。"於是,坎佩亞的婆羅門和居士們從坎帕城出發,成群結隊地向伽伽羅池走去。那時,婆羅門索納丹達正在高樓上午睡。索納丹達婆羅門看見坎佩亞的婆羅門和居士們從坎帕城出發,成群結隊地向伽伽羅池走去。看到這一幕,他召喚侍從說:"侍從啊,為什麼坎佩亞的婆羅門和居士們從坎帕城出發,成群結隊地向伽伽羅池走去呢?""先生,有一位沙門喬達摩,釋迦族人,從釋迦族出家,與大比丘眾約五百人在安哦國遊行,已到達坎帕城,住在伽伽羅池畔。關於這位喬達摩尊者,有這樣的美名廣為流傳:'他是如來、阿羅漢、正等正覺、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛、世尊。'他們正去拜見這位喬達摩尊者。""那麼,侍從啊,你去見坎佩亞的婆羅門和居士們,告訴他們:'婆羅門索納丹達是這樣說的:請諸位稍等,索納丹達婆羅門也將去拜見沙門喬達摩。'"侍從回答說:"遵命,先生。"他就去見坎佩亞的婆羅門和居士們,告訴他們:"婆羅門索納丹達是這樣說的:'請諸位稍等,索納丹達婆羅門也將去拜見沙門喬達摩。'" 讚頌索納丹達的品德

這是我的翻譯: 那時,約有五百名來自不同地方的婆羅門因某些事務住在坎帕城。這些婆羅門聽說:"據說索納丹達婆羅門將去拜見沙門喬達摩。"於是,他們來到索納丹達婆羅門處,問道:"索納丹達先生,據說您真的要去拜見沙門喬達摩,是這樣嗎?""確實如此,諸位。我是這樣想的:'我也要去拜見沙門喬達摩。'" "索納丹達先生,請不要去拜見沙門喬達摩。索納丹達先生不應該去拜見沙門喬達摩。如果索納丹達先生去拜見沙門喬達摩,您的聲望會下降,而沙門喬達摩的聲望會提升。正因為您的聲望會下降,而沙門喬達摩的聲望會提升,所以索納丹達先生不應該去拜見沙門喬達摩;相反,應該是沙門喬達摩來拜見索納丹達先生。 "索納丹達先生,您出身高貴,父母雙方都是純正的血統,追溯到七代祖先都沒有受到出身的質疑或誹謗。正因為您出身高貴,父母雙方都是純正的血統,追溯到七代祖先都沒有受到出身的質疑或誹謗,所以索納丹達先生不應該去拜見沙門喬達摩;相反,應該是沙門喬達摩來拜見索納丹達先生。 "索納丹達先生,您富有、財產豐厚、資產眾多......

這是我的翻譯: 聽到這些話,那些婆羅門對索納丹達婆羅門說:"索納丹達先生如此讚美沙門喬達摩,即使他住在一百由旬之外,一個有信仰的善男子也應該去拜見他,即使要揹著食物去。""那麼,諸位,讓我們所有人都去拜見沙門喬達摩吧。" 索納丹達的思慮於是,索納丹達婆羅門與一大群婆羅門一起向伽伽羅池走去。當索納丹達婆羅門穿過樹林時,心中產生了這樣的想法:"如果我向沙門喬達摩提問,而沙門喬達摩對我說:'婆羅門啊,這個問題不應該這樣問,應該這樣問',那麼這群人就會輕視我:'索納丹達婆羅門愚蠢無知,不懂得如何恰當地向沙門喬達摩提問。'如果這群人輕視我,我的聲望就會下降。聲望下降的人,財富也會隨之減少。而我們的財富是靠聲望獲得的。如果沙門喬達摩向我提問,而我的回答不能使他滿意,沙門喬達摩可能會對我說:'婆羅門啊,這個問題不應該這樣回答,應該這樣回答',那麼這群人就會輕視我:'索納丹達婆羅門愚蠢無知,不能以令沙門喬達摩滿意的方式回答問題。'如果這群人輕視我,我的聲望就會下降。聲望下降的人,財富也會隨之減少。而我們的財富是靠聲望獲得的。如果我走到這麼近的地方卻不見沙門喬達摩就轉回去,這群人就會輕視我:'索納丹達婆羅門愚蠢無知,傲慢固執,膽小怯懦,不敢去見沙門喬達摩,怎麼能走到這麼近的地方卻不見沙門喬達摩就轉回去呢?'如果這群人輕視我,我的聲望就會下降。聲望下降的人,財富也會隨之減少。而我們的財富是靠聲望獲得的。" 於是,索納丹達婆羅門走向世尊。走近后,與世尊互相問候。寒暄過後,坐在一旁。坎佩亞的一些婆羅門和居士向世尊行禮後坐在一旁;一些人與世尊互相問候,寒暄過後坐在一旁;一些人向世尊合掌致意後坐在一旁;一些人報上自己的姓名後坐在一旁;還有一些人默默地坐在一旁。索納丹達婆羅門坐下後,仍然不斷地思考著:"如果我向沙門喬達摩提問,而沙門喬達摩對我說:'婆羅門啊,這個問題不應該這樣問,應該這樣問',那麼這群人就會輕視我:'索納丹達婆羅門愚蠢無知,不懂得如何恰當地向沙門喬達摩提問。'如果這群人輕視我,我的聲望就會下降。聲望下降的人,財富也會隨之減少。而我們的財富是靠聲望獲得的。如果沙門喬達摩向我提問,而我的回答不能使他滿意,沙門喬達摩可能會對我說:'婆羅門啊,這個問題不應該這樣回答,應該這樣回答',那麼這群人就會輕視我:'索納丹達婆羅門愚蠢無知,不能以令沙門喬達摩滿意的方式回答問題。'如果這群人輕視我,我的聲望就會下降。聲望下降的人,財富也會隨之減少。而我們的財富是靠聲望獲得的。啊,如果沙門喬達摩能問我關

這是我的翻譯: 那時,索納丹達婆羅門的外甥安迦卡青年正坐在那群人中。索納丹達婆羅門對那些婆羅門說:"諸位看到我的外甥安迦卡青年了嗎?""是的,先生。""諸位,安迦卡青年相貌英俊,令人賞心悅目,擁有最高等的膚色,具有梵天般的容貌,身材高大,值得一見。在這群人中,除了沙門喬達摩,沒有人能在相貌上與他相比。安迦卡青年是精通吠陀的學者,熟知咒語,精通三吠陀及其附屬學問、音韻學和詞源學,通曉古傳說為第五的典籍,精通語法,善於辯論世間學說和大人相。我是他的咒語老師。安迦卡青年出身高貴,父母雙方都是純正的血統,追溯到七代祖先都沒有受到出身的質疑或誹謗。我認識他的父母。然而,安迦卡青年可能會殺生,偷盜,邪淫,說謊,飲酒。在這種情況下,相貌有什麼用?咒語有什麼用?出身有什麼用?諸位,如果一個婆羅門品德高尚,具有崇高的德行;他聰明智慧,在舉行祭祀時是第一個或第二個捧起祭勺的人。婆羅門們認為具備這兩個條件就能稱一個人為婆羅門。一個人自稱'我是婆羅門'時,才能說得恰當,不會說謊。" 關於德行和智慧的討論 "婆羅門啊,在這兩個條件中,是否可以再去掉一個條件,用一個條件來定義婆羅門?一個人自稱'我是婆羅門'時,仍能說得恰當,不會說謊?""不可以,喬達摩先生。因為,喬達摩先生,智慧由德行凈化,德行由智慧凈化。哪裡有德行,哪裡就有智慧;哪裡有智慧,哪裡就有德行。有德行的人有智慧,有智慧的人有德行。在這個世界上,德行和智慧被認為是最高尚的。喬達摩先生,就像用手洗手,或用腳洗腳;同樣地,智慧由德行凈化,德行由智慧凈化。哪裡有德行,哪裡就有智慧;哪裡有智慧,哪裡就有德行。有德行的人有智慧,有智慧的人有德行。在這個世界上,德行和智慧被認為是最高尚的。""確實如此,婆羅門,確實如此。智慧由德行凈化,德行由智慧凈化。哪裡有德行,哪裡就有智慧;哪裡有智慧,哪裡就有德行。有德行的人有智慧,有智慧的人有德行。在這個世界上,德行和智慧被認為是最高尚的。婆羅門,就像用手洗手,或用腳洗腳;同樣地,智慧由德行凈化,德行由智慧凈化。哪裡有德行,哪裡就有智慧;哪裡有智慧,哪裡就有德行。有德行的人有智慧,有智慧的人有德行。在這個世界上,德行和智慧被認為是最高尚的。 "婆羅門啊,什麼是德行?什麼是智慧?""喬達摩先生,我們對這個問題的理解僅限於此。請喬達摩先生為我們解釋這個問題的含義。""那麼,婆羅門,請仔細聽,好好思考,我要說了。""是的,先生。"索納丹達婆羅門回答道。世尊說:"在這裡,婆羅門,如來出現在世間,是阿羅漢、正等正覺......(應該像190-212段那樣詳細闡述)。婆羅門,這就是比丘如何具備德行。婆羅門,這就是德行......他進入並安住于初禪......二禪......三禪......四禪......他引導並專注心智以獲得智見。這是他的智慧......他了知:'不再有來生。'這也是他的智慧。婆羅門,這就是智慧。" 索納丹達成為優婆塞

這是我的翻譯: 聽到這些話,索納丹達婆羅門對世尊說:"太奇妙了,喬達摩先生,太奇妙了。喬達摩先生,就像有人扶起摔倒的東西,揭開遮蔽的東西,為迷路的人指明道路,在黑暗中舉起油燈,讓有眼睛的人能看見東西。同樣地,喬達摩先生以各種方式闡明了佛法。我皈依喬達摩先生,皈依佛法,皈依比丘僧團。愿喬達摩先生接受我為優婆塞,從今天起直到生命終結,我都將皈依。請喬達摩先生和比丘僧團明天接受我的供養。"世尊以沉默表示接受。索納丹達婆羅門知道世尊接受后,就從座位上站起來,向世尊行禮,右繞三匝后離開。第二天早晨,索納丹達婆羅門在自己家裡準備了美味的硬食和軟食,然後派人通知世尊:"喬達摩先生,時間到了,飯食已經準備好了。"這時,世尊在上午穿好衣服,拿著衣缽,與比丘僧團一起前往索納丹達婆羅門的家。到達后,坐在準備好的座位上。然後,索納丹達婆羅門親自用美味的硬食和軟食供養以佛陀為首的比丘僧團,讓他們吃飽。等世尊用完餐,放下手中的缽后,索納丹達婆羅門拿了一個低矮的座位,坐在一旁。坐下後,索納丹達婆羅門對世尊說:"喬達摩先生,如果我在眾人面前從座位上站起來向您行禮,那群人就會輕視我。如果那群人輕視我,我的聲望就會下降。聲望下降的人,財富也會隨之減少。而我們的財富是靠聲望獲得的。喬達摩先生,如果我在眾人面前向您合掌,請您把這個動作理解為我從座位上站起來。如果我在眾人面前解下頭巾,請您把這個動作理解為我向您低頭行禮。喬達摩先生,如果我坐在車上,從車上下來向您行禮,那群人就會輕視我。如果那群人輕視我,我的聲望就會下降。聲望下降的人,財富也會隨之減少。而我們的財富是靠聲望獲得的。喬達摩先生,如果我坐在車上舉起鞭子,請您把這個動作理解為我從車上下來。如果我坐在車上放下遮陽傘,請您把這個動作理解為我向您低頭行禮。"

這是我的翻譯: 然後,世尊用佛法開示教導索納丹達婆羅門,使他振奮鼓舞,從座位上站起來離開了。索納丹達經結束,這是第四經。
