(Samyutta Nikaya 1-9-14)  
14. The Thief of Scent 
On one occasion a certain bhikkhu was dwelling among the Kosalans in a certain woodland thicket. Now on that occasion, when he had returned from his alms round, after his meal that bhikkhu used to descend into a pond and sniff a red lotus. 

Then the devata that inhabited that woodland thicket, having compassion for that bhikkhu, desiring his good, desiring to stir up a sense of urgency in him, approached him and addressed him in verse: 
“When you sniff this lotus flower, 
An item that has not been given, 
This is one factor of theft: 
You, dear sir, are a thief of scent.” 

(The bhikkhu:) 
“I do not take, I do not damage, 
I sniff the lotus from afar; 
So for what reason do you say 
That I am a thief of scent?
One who digs up the lotus stalks, 
One who damages the lotus flowers, 
One of such rough behaviour: 
Why is he not spoken to?”

(The devata:) 
“When a person is rough and fierce, 
Badly soiled like a nursing cloth, 
I have nothing at all to say to him; 
But it’s to you that I ought to speak. 
For a person who is without blemish, 
Always in quest of purity, 
Even a mere hair’s tip of evil 
Appears as massive as a cloud.” 

(The bhikkhu:) 
“Surely, spirit, you understand me, 
And you have compassion for me. 
Please, O spirit, speak to me again, 
Whenever you see such a deed.” 

(The devata:) 
“We don’t live with your support, 
Nor are we your hired servant. 
You, bhikkhu, should know for yourself 
The way to a good destination.”

Then that bhikkhu, stirred by that devata, acquired a sense of urgency.


(相應部 1-9-14)
〔一四〕紅蓮（白蓮）
爾時，一比丘住拘薩羅國之茂林。
時，此比丘食後收鉢，入於蓮池，以嗅紅蓮之香。
時，住彼林一天神，憐憫此比丘，欲警覺此比丘，令思有益。來到比丘處。
到已，以偈語其比丘曰：
此水所生花　　　不予汝嗅聞
此亦一盜者　　　汝盜香花人
〔比丘：〕
不取又不折　　　離而嗅蓮香
如何汝云我　　　是花香盜人
以掘其根頭　　　或餐其蓮莖
如是行暴人　　　何故汝不云
〔天神：〕
如下婢污衣　　　不淨粗暴人
我不言此語　　　云汝則相應
無有罪污穢　　　常求清淨人
惡如毛毫端　　　見猶天雲大
〔比丘：〕
夜叉我知汝　　　又以哀憐我
以如是見時　　　夜叉又語我
〔天神：〕
我非靠汝生　　　亦非指為惡
比丘汝自己　　　不得為不知
如何去善趣
時，此比丘依天神之警覺，而起驚。
