作是思惟：“我今何故耽着睡眠？同梵行者，来亦不知。”时彼化众咸赞是言：“善哉！善哉！”是时，迦叶普遍观察，各各见其色相，乃作是念：“岂非大沙门神力所化邪？彼大沙门，具大神通，有大威力，乃至大威力，龙亦能摄伏，我以何物，当为供养？” 是时，世尊知彼迦叶信佛神通，世尊即为摄神通力，彼诸化众忽然不见。时彼迦叶即生叹异，乃发净信：“我出家心，岂可止耶！” 尔时，世尊离彼迦叶住处，往诣泥连河岸，珂那聚落中阿惹播罗树下。世尊行时，体具威仪，容相可观，既到彼已，而暂止息。是时迦叶即作是念：“我等今时，亦往泥连河岸，作洁净事水法，而大沙门亦复在彼。” 作是念已，即与眷属，诣泥连河岸，到已忽见其水逆流，复作是念：“此水逆流，岂非大沙门神通所作邪？而此大沙门，具大神通，有大威力，乃至大威力，龙亦能摄伏，我以何物，当为供养？” 是时，世尊知彼迦叶信佛神通，世尊乃为摄神通力，水即顺流。时彼迦叶即生叹异，乃发净信：“我出家心，岂可止耶！” 又复，世尊渐次欲渡泥连河，往缚象聚落中，是时大云忽起，暴雨澍流，河声泛涨，如角贝响。世尊尔时于急流中，徐缓而进，水分两派，步步尘生。 时彼 现代汉语译本：他这样想着：‘我为什么还要贪睡呢？同修梵行的人来了，我都不知道。’这时，那些化现出来的大众都赞叹说：‘善哉！善哉！’这时，迦叶普遍观察，各自看到他们的形貌，于是心想：‘莫非是伟大的沙门（指佛陀）用神通变化出来的？那位伟大的沙门，具有大神力，有大威力，乃至能以大威力降伏龙，我应该用什么来供养他呢？’ 这时，世尊知道迦叶相信佛的神通，世尊就收摄神通力，那些化现出来的大众忽然不见了。这时，迦叶就惊叹奇异，于是生起清净的信心：‘我出家的心，怎么可以停止呢！’ 这时，世尊离开迦叶住的地方，前往尼连禅河岸边的珂那聚落中的阿惹播罗树下。世尊行走时，仪态威严，容貌可观，到达那里后，就暂时休息。这时，迦叶心想：‘我们现在也去尼连禅河岸边，做洁净身体的水法，而那位伟大的沙门也在那里。’ 这样想着之后，就和他的眷属一起，前往尼连禅河岸边，到了之后忽然看见河水倒流，又心想：‘这河水倒流，莫非是伟大的沙门用神通所作的？而这位伟大的沙门，具有大神力，有大威力，乃至能以大威力降伏龙，我应该用什么来供养他呢？’ 这时，世尊知道迦叶相信佛的神通，世尊就收摄神通力，河水就顺流了。这时，迦叶就惊叹奇异，于是生起清净的信心：‘我出家的心，怎么可以停止呢！’ 又，世尊渐渐想要渡过尼连禅河，前往缚象聚落中，这时忽然乌云密布，暴雨倾盆，河水声势浩大，如同角贝的声音。世尊这时在急流中，缓慢地前进，河水分为两边，每走一步都有尘土扬起。 这时，迦叶...

English version: He thought thus: 'Why am I still indulging in sleep? I don't even know when my fellow practitioners have arrived.' At that time, the transformed assembly all praised, saying, 'Excellent! Excellent!' Then, Kashyapa observed everyone, seeing their respective appearances, and thought: 'Could it be that the great Shramana (referring to the Buddha) has transformed them with his supernatural powers? That great Shramana possesses great divine power, great might, even to the extent of subduing dragons with great might. What should I offer him?' At that time, the World-Honored One, knowing that Kashyapa believed in the Buddha's supernatural powers, withdrew his supernatural power, and the transformed assembly suddenly disappeared. Then, Kashyapa exclaimed in amazement, and generated pure faith: 'How can my intention to renounce the world be stopped!' At that time, the World-Honored One, leaving Kashyapa's dwelling place, went to the bank of the Nairanjana River, under the Ajapala tree in the village of Kona. The World-Honored One walked with dignified bearing and an admirable appearance, and upon arriving there, rested for a while. Then, Kashyapa thought: 'We should also go to the bank of the Nairanjana River now to perform the water ritual of cleansing the body, and that great Shramana is also there.' After thinking this, he went with his retinue to the bank of the Nairanjana River, and upon arriving, suddenly saw the water flowing upstream. He thought again: 'This water flowing upstream, could it be that the great Shramana has done this with his supernatural powers? And this great Shramana possesses great divine power, great might, even to the extent of subduing dragons with great might. What should I offer him?' At that time, the World-Honored One, knowing that Kashyapa believed in the Buddha's supernatural powers, withdrew his supernatural power, and the water flowed downstream. Then, Kashyapa exclaimed in amazement, and generated pure faith: 'How can my intention to renounce the world be stopped!' Furthermore, the World-Honored One gradually wanted to cross the Nairanjana River and go to the village of Bandhuma. At that time, dark clouds suddenly arose, and torrential rain poured down, the sound of the river swelling like the sound of a conch shell. The World-Honored One then advanced slowly in the rapid current, the water dividing into two streams, and dust rising with each step. At that time, Kashyapa... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

迦叶乃作是念：“此大沙门，方涉中流，河水迅急，将非漂没。”作是念时，乃见世尊，于急流中，水分两派，步步尘生，渐至其岸。即生叹异：“希有难得！此大沙门名，我于诸世间，曾所未闻。”迦叶尔时乃发净信：“我出家心，岂可止耶！” 迦叶见佛如是等神通事已，转发最上清净信心，深生爱乐，乃发是言：“佛大沙门！能作如是神通事业，我以何物，当为供养？” 尔时，世尊既至彼岸于缚象聚落中，而乃止息。即于是夜，东方持国天王，来诣佛所，恭敬礼足，彼身光明，广大照耀。 迦叶是夜睹斯光已，至明旦时，往诣佛所，到已白言：“大沙门！夜中何故东方光来广大照耀？” 世尊告言：“夜中所现东方光者，是彼持国天王，来礼我足，彼身光明，照耀如是。” 迦叶尔时即作是念：“彼之名字，我等虽闻，而不能见，况复能来礼沙门足？我观是事，希有难得。”乃发净信：“我出家心，岂可止耶！” 第二夜中，南方增长天王，来诣佛所，恭敬礼足，彼身光明，广大照耀。 迦叶是夜睹斯光已，至明旦时，往诣佛所，到已白言：“大沙门！夜中何故南方光来广大照耀？” 世尊告言：“夜中所现南方光者，是彼增长天王，来礼我足，彼身光明 现代汉语译本 迦叶心想：‘这位大沙门（Sramana，指佛教出家人），正要渡过河的中央，河水如此湍急，难道不会被冲走吗？’当他这样想的时候，就看见世尊（Bhagavan，对佛的尊称）在急流中，河水自动分成两边，世尊脚下生起尘土，一步步地走到岸边。迦叶惊叹道：‘真是稀有难得！这位大沙门的名号，我在世间从未听说过。’迦叶当下生起清净的信心：‘我出家的决心，怎么可以停止呢！’ 迦叶见到佛陀这样的神通事迹后，更加坚定了最上清净的信心，内心充满爱慕和喜悦，于是说道：‘佛陀大沙门！您能展现如此神通的事业，我应该用什么来供养您呢？’ 当时，世尊到达彼岸后，在缚象聚落（Bandhuma，地名）中休息。就在那天晚上，东方持国天王（Dhritarashtra，四大天王之一），来到佛陀的住所，恭敬地礼拜佛足，他的身体散发着广大的光明，照耀四方。 迦叶在那天晚上看到这光明后，到了第二天早上，前往佛陀的住所，到达后说道：‘大沙门！昨晚为什么会有东方来的光明，如此广大地照耀？’ 世尊告诉他：‘昨晚所出现的东方光明，是持国天王前来礼拜我的脚，他的身体所发出的光明，就是这样。’ 迦叶当时心想：‘他们的名字，我们虽然听说过，却不能亲眼见到，更何况是前来礼拜沙门的脚呢？我看这件事，真是稀有难得。’于是生起清净的信心：‘我出家的决心，怎么可以停止呢！’ 第二个晚上，南方增长天王（Virudhaka，四大天王之一），来到佛陀的住所，恭敬地礼拜佛足，他的身体散发着广大的光明，照耀四方。 迦叶在那天晚上看到这光明后，到了第二天早上，前往佛陀的住所，到达后说道：‘大沙门！昨晚为什么会有南方来的光明，如此广大地照耀？’ 世尊告诉他：‘昨晚所出现的南方光明，是增长天王前来礼拜我的脚，他的身体所发出的光明……’

English version Kashyapa thought to himself: 'This great Sramana (ascetic, religious mendicant), is about to cross the middle of the river. The river is so swift and rapid, will he not be swept away?' As he was thinking this, he saw the Bhagavan (the Blessed One, epithet of the Buddha) in the midst of the rapid current, the water dividing into two streams, with dust rising at each step, gradually reaching the shore. He exclaimed in amazement: 'How rare and wonderful! This great Sramana's name, I have never heard in all the worlds.' Kashyapa then generated pure faith: 'How can my resolve to renounce the world be stopped!' Having seen such miraculous events of the Buddha, Kashyapa further strengthened his supreme pure faith, deeply filled with love and joy, and then spoke these words: 'Buddha, great Sramana! You are able to perform such miraculous deeds, with what shall I offer you?' At that time, the Bhagavan, having reached the other shore, rested in the Bandhuma (name of a village) settlement. That very night, Dhritarashtra (Guardian of the East, one of the Four Heavenly Kings), the Heavenly King of the East, came to the Buddha's dwelling, respectfully bowed at his feet, his body emitting vast and radiant light. Having seen this light that night, Kashyapa, the next morning, went to the Buddha's dwelling, and upon arriving, said: 'Great Sramana! Why did the light from the East come so greatly illuminating last night?' The Bhagavan replied: 'The Eastern light that appeared last night was Dhritarashtra, the Heavenly King, who came to bow at my feet, and the radiance of his body shone in this way.' Kashyapa then thought to himself: 'Although we have heard their names, we cannot see them, let alone have them come to bow at the feet of a Sramana? I see this matter as rare and wonderful.' He then generated pure faith: 'How can my resolve to renounce the world be stopped!' On the second night, Virudhaka (Guardian of the South, one of the Four Heavenly Kings), the Heavenly King of the South, came to the Buddha's dwelling, respectfully bowed at his feet, his body emitting vast and radiant light. Having seen this light that night, Kashyapa, the next morning, went to the Buddha's dwelling, and upon arriving, said: 'Great Sramana! Why did the light from the South come so greatly illuminating last night?' The Bhagavan replied: 'The Southern light that appeared last night was Virudhaka, the Heavenly King, who came to bow at my feet, and the radiance of his body...' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ，照耀如是。”

English version: ‘The illumination is thus.’ Kasyapa (a proper noun) then thought to himself: ‘Their names, though we have heard of them, we cannot see them, let alone can they come to prostrate at the feet of the Sramana (ascetic, monk)? I see this matter as rare and difficult to obtain.’ Thereupon, he generated pure faith: ‘How can my mind for renunciation be stopped!’ On the third night, Virupaksa (one of the Four Heavenly Kings, guardian of the West) came to the Buddha's place, respectfully prostrated at his feet, his body's light greatly illuminating. Having seen this light that night, Kasyapa went to the Buddha's place the next morning, and upon arriving, reported: ‘Great Sramana! Why did a great light come from the West and illuminate greatly during the night?’ The World Honored One told him: ‘The western light that appeared in the night was Virupaksa coming to prostrate at my feet, his body's light illuminating thus.’ Kasyapa then thought to himself: ‘Their names, though we have heard of them, we cannot see them, let alone can they come to prostrate at the feet of the Sramana (ascetic, monk)?
