12. Alavaka 
Thus have I heard. On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling at Alavi, the haunt of the yakkha Alaavaka. Then the yakkha Alavaka approached the Blessed One an d said to him: “Get out, recluse!” 
“All right, friend,” the Blessed One said, and he went out.
“Come in, recluse.” 
“All right, friend,” the Blessed One said, and he went in. 

A second time …  A third time the yakkha Alavaka said to the Blessed One: “Get out, recluse!” 
“All right, friend,” the Blessed One said, and he went out. 
“Come in, recluse.” 
“All right, friend,” the Blessed One said, and he went in. 

A fourth time the yakkha Alavaka said to the Blessed One: “Get out, recluse.” 
“I won’t go out, friend. Do whatever you have to do.” 
“I’ll ask you a question, recluse. If you won’t answer me, I’ll drive you insane or I’ll split your heart or I’ll grab you by the feet and hurl you across the Ganges.”

“I do not see anyone in this world, friend, with its devas, Mara, and Brahma, in this generation with its recluses and brahmins, its devas and humans, who could drive me insane or split my heart or grab me by the feet and hurl me across the Ganges. But ask whatever you want, friend.”

(Alavaka:) 
“What here is a man’s best treasure? 
What practised well brings happiness? 
What is really the sweetest of tastes? 
How lives the one whom they say lives best?” 

(The Blessed One:) 
“Faith is here a man’s best treasure; 
Dhamma practised well brings happiness; 
Truth is really the sweetest of tastes; 
One living by wisdom they say lives best.”

(Alavaka:) 
“How does one cross over the flood? 
How does one cross the rugged sea? 
How does one overcome suffering? 
How is one purified?” 

(The Blessed One:) 
“By faith one crosses over the flood, 
By diligence, the rugged sea. 
By energy one overcomes suffering, 
By wisdom one is purified.”

(Alavaka:) 
“How does one gain wisdom?
How does one find wealth? 
How does one achieve acclaim? 
How bind friends to oneself? 
When passing from this world to the next, 
How does one not sorrow?” 

(The Blessed One:)
“Placing faith in the Dhamma of the arahants 
For the attainment of Nibbana, 
From desire to learn one gains wisdom 
If one is diligent and astute.
Doing what is proper, dutiful, 
One with initiative finds wealth. 
By truthfulness one wins acclaim, 
Giving, one binds friends. 
That is how one does not sorrow 
When passing from this world to the next.
The faithful seeker of the household life 
In whom dwell these four qualities— 
Truth, Dhamma, steadfastness, generosity— 
Does not sorrow when he passes on. 
Come now, ask others as well, 
The many recluses and brahmins, 
Whether there exists here anything better 
Than truth, self-control, generosity, patience.”

(Alavaka:) 
“Why now should I ask this question 
Of the many recluses and brahmins? 
Today I have understood 
The good in the future life.
Indeed, for my sake the Buddha came 
To reside at Alavi. 
Today I have understood 
Where a gift bears great fruit. 
I myself will travel about 
From village to village, town to town, 
Paying homage to the Enlightened One 
And to the excellence of the Dhamma."

〔一二〕阿羅毘
如是我聞。爾時，世尊住阿羅毘之阿羅婆迦夜叉住居。
時，阿羅婆迦夜叉、白世尊曰：「沙門！出去。」「是！友。」世尊便出去。「沙門！進來。」「是！友。」世尊便進來。
再度〔……乃至〕……
阿羅婆迦夜叉，如此三度白世尊：「沙門！出去。」……〔乃至〕……「是！友。」世尊便進來。
阿羅婆迦夜叉，四度白世尊：「沙門！出去。」
「不！友，我不應出去，由汝所欲為。」
「沙門！我且問汝，汝若不能答我者，我以汝心亂，破汝心臟，取汝兩脚，投諸恒伽河之彼岸。」
「不！友！我於包括天界，魔界，梵天界之世界，於含括沙門、婆羅門、人天之眾中，不見以我心亂，破我心臟，取我兩脚、投諸恒伽河之彼岸者。然而汝若欲問則問。」
〔夜叉：〕
於此世間人　　　何為最勝富
以善修何物　　　齎得以安樂
何物味最上　　　云何之生活
為最勝生活
〔世尊：〕
此世信最富　　　修善最安樂
真實最上味　　　智慧之生活
謂最勝生活
〔夜叉：〕
如何渡瀑流　　　如何渡大海
如何超苦惱　　　如何為清淨
〔世尊：〕
依信渡瀑流　　　不逸渡大海
精進超苦惱　　　依智慧清淨
〔夜叉：〕
如何得智慧　　　如何以得富
如何以得譽　　　如何而結友
此世行彼世　　　如何得不悲
〔世尊：〕
以信阿羅漢　　　聞達涅槃法
不逸分別者　　　當得於智慧
如實堪重荷　　　精進者得富
語真實得譽　　　布施友不離
是為由此世　　　無悲往彼世
求居亦信仰　　　真實與調順
堅實與捨離　　　具此四法者
死而無有悲　　　此世往彼世
亦無有悲事　　　有疑問其他
沙門婆羅門　　　真實與調順
堪忍與捨離　　　此世有勝者
〔夜叉：〕
今何問其他　　　沙門婆羅門
我已於今日　　　得知未來利
佛實為於我　　　來於阿羅毘
我今施其人　　　知有大果事
我今致禮敬　　　正覺法善性
由村以至村　　　遊方邑至邑
