24.5.139
爾時,順水下頭有梵志,名伽夷迦葉,在水側住。遙見呪術之具,為水所漂,便作是念:「我有二兄,在上學道。今呪術之具,盡為水所漂,二大迦葉必為水所害。」即將二百弟子,順水上流,乃至學術之處,遙見二兄而作沙門,便作是語:「此處好耶?本為人尊,今為沙門弟子。」
They then followed the river downstream to where the ascetic named Gayā Kāśyapa was living on the riverbank. He saw the implements of magical incantation floating in the river from a distance and thought, “I have two brothers upstream who are religious mendicants. Now, all these implements of magical incantation are floating in the river. Surely, the river has killed those two older Kāśyapas!” He then led his 200 disciples upstream until they reached that place where the incantations had been studied. He saw from a distance that his two brothers had become ascetics, so he said, “What marvel is this? Men who before were honored now are this ascetic’s disciples!”
