Dhammadevaputta Jātaka

Jātaka

Also known as Dhamma Jātaka

一則本生故事,講述菩薩化身為天神法(Dhamma),與化身為非法(Adhamma)、即提婆達多的惡神相爭,後者座車最終墜入地獄,用以解說提婆達多墮入阿鼻地獄的緣由。

v.l. Dhamma Jātaka.– The Bodhisatta once became a Kāmāvacara-god, named Dhamma, and Devadatta became Adhamma. On uposatha-days Dhamma would appear among men and urge them to lead virtuous lives, while Adhamma encouraged them in wickedness. One day, their two chariots meeting in mid-air, they each claimed the right of way. However, at the end of the argument Adhamma’s chariot fell headlong to earth, where he was swallowed up into hell. The story was related in reference to Devadatta’s being swallowed up in Avīci. J.iv.100-4.
