§74 出家凡夫贪利养喻

(74) becoming a common monk

昔有国王，设于教法，诸有婆罗门等，在我国内，制抑洗净。不洗净者，驱令策使种种苦役。

once upon a time, there was a kingdom which had a law that all brahmans in the country should keep their bodies clean and those who do not would be subject to all kinds of hard works.

有婆罗门空捉澡罐，诈言洗净。人为著水，即便泻弃，便作是言：“我不洗净，王自洗之。”为王意故，用避王役，妄言洗净，实不洗之。

there was a brahman who was always holding an empty pot pretending that he was a clean man. when someone poured water info his pot, he spilled it and said in these words, "i don't want to wash myself. let the king do it himself. i have been lying to shun hard labor, because of the king's law."

出家凡夫，亦复如是。剃头染衣，内实毁禁，诈现持戒，望求利养，复避王役。外似沙门，内实虚欺，如捉空瓶，但有外相。
