SN 4.2 · Khotbah dalam Wujud Raja Gajah

BAGIAN 1

Evaṁ me sutaṁ—

Demikianlah yang kudengar:

So I have heard.

ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā uruvelāyaṁ viharati najjā nerañjarāya tīre ajapālanigrodhamūle paṭhamābhisambuddho.

Pada suatu ketika, ketika baru saja mencapai pencerahan sempurna, Sang Bhagavā menetap di Uruvelā, di tepi sungai Nerañjarā, di bawah pohon beringin penjaga kambing.

At one time, when he was first awakened, the Buddha was staying in Uruvelā at the root of the goatherd’s banyan tree on the bank of the Nerañjarā River.

sn4.2:1.3

Tena kho pana samayena bhagavā rattandhakāratimisāyaṁ abbhokāse nisinno hoti, devo ca ekamekaṁ phusāyati.

Pada saat itu, Sang Bhagavā sedang duduk bermeditasi di ruang terbuka dalam kegelapan malam yang pekat, sementara hujan gerimis turun perlahan.

Now at that time the Buddha was meditating in the open during the dark of night, while a gentle rain drizzled down.

sn4.2:1.4

Atha kho māro pāpimā bhagavato bhayaṁ chambhitattaṁ lomahaṁsaṁ uppādetukāmo mahantaṁ hatthirājavaṇṇaṁ abhinimminitvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami.

Kemudian Māra si Jahat, ingin menimbulkan ketakutan, kegentaran, dan bulu kuduk berdiri pada Sang Bhagavā, menjelma dalam wujud seekor raja gajah yang besar dan mendekati Sang Bhagavā.

Then Māra the Wicked, wanting to make the Buddha feel fear, terror, and goosebumps, manifested in the form of a big elephant king and approached him.

sn4.2:1.5

Seyyathāpi nāma mahāariṭṭhako maṇi;

Bagaikan sebongkah batu sabun yang besar;

Its head was like a big block of soapstone.

sn4.2:1.6

evamassa sīsaṁ hoti.

demikianlah kepalanya.

sn4.2:1.7

Seyyathāpi nāma suddhaṁ rūpiyaṁ;

Bagaikan perak murni;

Its tusks were like pure silver.
