摘要
The sixth story of the Udenavatthu (Uvt-6) in the Dhammapadāṭṭhakathā is about the deaths of Sāmāvatī and Māgandiyā, who were wives of King Udena. Sāmāvatī was a disciple of the Buddha and a Sottapannā (one who has entered the path of wisdom), which is a saint. She was killed by the villainess, Māgandiyā, who held malice against the Buddha. The story of this murder shows the teaching of appamāda (carefulness) by quoting the twenty-first through the twenty-third verses of the Dhammapada. It also contains Sāmāvatī’s previous birth story and a quotation from Udāna to explain the principle of karma and the Buddhist worldview. Several other stories in the Northern Buddhist texts written in classical Chinese or classical Tibetan have topics similar to Uvt-6. These stories and their teachings are of two groups: (1) stories on the failure and detection of Māgandiyā’s plan to kill Sāmāvatī, which warn of the lust for sexual pleasure, and (2) stories on the execution of Māgandiyā’s evil plan, Sāmāvatī’s death, and Sāmāvatī’s karma from her previous lives, which demonstrate the strict rule of karma. Each of these Northern Buddhist texts has a singular teaching; however, Uvt-6 has teachings in addition to carefulness as a main doctrine, which are the rule of karma and the Buddhist worldview. Therefore, Uvt-6 contains more teaching messages than other stories in the Northern Buddhist tradition.
