English Original
King Sakka returned victoriously to his palace in the Heaven of Thirty-Three. Next to it stood the mansion of his first wife, the reborn Good-doer. Outside the mansion was the garden of his second wife, the reborn Beauty. And there was the heavenly pond of his third wife, the reborn Happy.
However, his fourth wife, Well-born, had died and been reborn as a slender crane in the forest. Missing her, Sakka found her and brought her to the Heaven of Thirty-Three for a visit. He showed her the homes of his other wives and explained that their good deeds had earned them merit, leading to happiness in their past lives and rebirths. He advised the crane to follow the Five Training Steps to gain merit and happiness.
The crane agreed and returned to the forest. Later, Sakka, curious about her progress, transformed into a fish to test her. As the crane was about to eat him, she remembered the first training step—to refrain from destroying life—and released the fish. Pleased, Sakka revealed himself and praised her.
In time, the crane died. Having followed the Five Training Steps, she gained merit and a peaceful mind, and was reborn into a potter's family in Benares. Sakka, seeking to help her further, disguised himself as an old man with a cart of golden cucumbers. He offered them freely only to someone who followed the Five Training Steps. The townspeople were puzzled, but the reborn Well-born, still practicing the steps, came forward. She affirmed her adherence and received the golden cucumbers as encouragement.
Throughout her life, she generously shared the gold, spreading happiness and gaining more merit. After death, she was reborn as a beautiful goddess, the daughter of the Asura king. When given the freedom to choose a husband, she was drawn to Sakka, who had disguised himself as an ordinary Asura. Recognizing their shared wholesomeness, she chose him.
Sakka took her to the Heaven of Thirty-Three, made her his wife once more, and they lived happily ever after.
中文翻译
萨卡国王凯旋，回到了他的三十三重天宫殿。旁边是他第一任妻子——转世后的善行者的宅邸。宅邸外是他第二任妻子——转世后的美人的花园。还有他第三任妻子——转世后的快乐的天界池塘。
然而，他的第四任妻子，善生，已经去世并转世为森林里一只纤细的鹤。萨卡思念她，便找到她并带她到三十三重天参观。他向她展示了其他妻子的居所，并解释说她们的善行积累了功德，为她们的前世和转世带来了幸福。他建议这只鹤遵循五戒，以获取功德和幸福。
鹤同意了，然后返回了森林。后来，萨卡好奇她的进展，便变成一条鱼来测试她。当鹤正要吃掉他时，她记起了第一戒——不杀生——于是将鱼放生。萨卡很高兴，现出真身并赞扬了她。
时日一到，鹤死了。因遵循五戒，她获得了功德与内心的平静，转世到贝拿勒斯的一个陶匠家庭。萨卡为了进一步帮助她，伪装成一个推着一车金黄瓜的老人。他免费赠送金黄瓜，但只给遵循五戒的人。镇上的人们感到困惑，但转世后的善生，仍在践行戒律，走上前来。她确认了自己遵守戒律，并收到了金黄瓜作为鼓励。
在她的一生中，她慷慨地分享黄金，传播快乐，积累了更多功德。去世后，她转世为一位美丽的女神，成为阿修罗王的女儿。当被赋予选择丈夫的自由时，她被伪装成普通阿修罗的萨卡所吸引。认识到他们内心共有的纯净，她选择了他。
萨卡带她回到三十三重天，再次娶她为妻，从此他们幸福地生活在一起。
