§41 毗舍阇鬼喻

(41) pisacah devils

昔有二毗舍阇鬼，共有一箧、一杖、一屐。二鬼共诤，各各欲得。二鬼纷纭，竟日不能使平。

once upon a time, there were two pisacah devils who conjointly owned a suitcase, a stick and a pair of wooden shoes about which they fought for their monopoly. they were quarreling all day long without reaching a settlement.

时有一人来见之已，而问之言：“此箧、杖、屐有何奇异？汝等共诤，嗔恚乃尔？”

an onlooker came over and asked, "what are the particularities of those three things that you have been fighting for so angrily?"

二鬼答言：“我此箧者，能出一切衣服、饮食、床褥、卧具资生之物，尽从中出。执此杖者，怨敌归服，无敢与诤。著此屐者，能令人飞行无挂碍。”

the two devils replied, "this suitcase of ours turns out all sorts of things such as clothes, food, bed articles used on a bed, and other living necessities. one who takes the stick can conquer his hateful enemies without encountering resistance. one who puts on these shoes will be able to fly without a hitch."
