Āḷavi 国王，一次狩猎时误入一棵榕树的阴影，该树是食人夜叉的栖所，他被迫承诺定期奉上一名人质与一钵食物才得以脱身。

The king of Āḷavi who, while hunting, strayed into the shadow of a banyan tree inhabited by a man-eating yakkha and secured his release only by promising to supply the spirit with a human victim and a bowl of food at regular intervals.

那位要求定期以人祭食的夜叉，其索求最终连国王亲生之子也难以幸免，佛陀趁其外出时进入其宫殿，以说法将其降伏。

The man-eating spirit whose demand for a periodic human sacrifice was ultimately extended even to the king’s own son, until the Buddha entered its dwelling in its absence and won it over through teaching.

对阿罗毗比丘的称呼，他们过度热衷营造工程、砍伐树木，曾激怒一位树神与当地民众，佛陀因而制止他们并宣说《蛇经》。

A name given to the monks of Āḷavī, whose over-zealous building activities and tree-felling once so provoked a tree-spirit and the local populace that the Buddha had to restrain them and teach the Uraga Sutta.
