4.6

爾時,世尊著衣持鉢,入那伽城乞食已,至大林處坐一樹下,思惟摩竭國人命終生處。時,去佛不遠,有一鬼神,自稱己名,白世尊曰:「我是闍尼沙!我是闍尼沙!」

The Bhagavān then put on his robes and took his bowl and went to Nādikā. After soliciting alms, he went to a place in the Great Forest and sat under a tree. There, he contemplated the birthplaces of people from Magadha whose lives had ended. It was then that there was a yakṣa spirit not far away from the Buddha that announced its name, saying to the Bhagavān, “I am Janavṛṣabha! I am Janavṛṣabha!”
