Dhammadevaputta Jātaka

Jātaka

Also known as Dhamma Jātaka

一则本生故事,讲述菩萨化身为天神法(Dhamma),与化身为非法(Adhamma)、即提婆达多的恶神相争,后者座车最终坠入地狱,用以解说提婆达多堕入阿鼻地狱的缘由。

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.
