「梵志!時,善宿比丘來至我所,頭面禮足,在一面坐,不以此緣語我,我尋語曰:『如我所記,究羅帝者實爾以不?』答曰:『實爾,如世尊言。』梵志!我如是數數為善宿比丘現神通證,而彼猶言:『世尊不為我現神通。』」
“Wanderer, the monk Sunakṣatra then came to me, bowed his head at my feet, and sat to one side, but that wasn’t what he spoke to me about. I quickly said, ‘My prediction about Khoradattika turned out to be true, didn’t it?’
“He answered, ‘It really was as the Bhagavān said.’
“Wanderer, thus did I demonstrate evidence of my miraculous abilities to the monk Sunakṣatra on numerous occasions, yet he still says, ‘The Bhagavān didn’t demonstrate miraculous abilities for me.’”
