百喻經之八七: 劫盜分財喻
§87 劫盜分財喻
(87) the robber's joy
昔有群賊，共行劫盜，多取財物，即共分之。等以為分，唯有鹿野欽婆羅，色不純好，以為下分，與最劣者。下劣者得之恚恨，謂呼大失。
once upon a time, there was a band of robbers who divided their boot according to their different ranks. among the belongings, there was a benares kambala, the color of which left much to be desired. it was considered as an inferior part to be given to one of the robbers of the lowest rank. the robber got angry and made a strong protest to the rest.
至城賣之，諸貴長者多與其價，一人所得倍于眾伴，方乃歡喜，踴悅無量。
afterwards, he brought it to the city for sale. an honorable elderly man paid him a high price. he ended up getting more money than any other robber in the band. he then leaped for joy.
猶如世人，不知布施有報無報，而行少施，得生天上，受無量樂。方更悔恨，悔不廣施。如欽婆羅，后得大價，乃生歡喜，施亦如是。少作多得，爾乃自慶，恨不益焉。
