Ekottaragama (Sanskrit fragments) 24.5.43

24.5.43

爾時，迦葉將五百弟子，往詣石室，而救此火；或持水灑者，或施梯者，而不能使火時滅，皆是如來威神所致。爾時，世尊入慈三昧，漸使彼龍無復瞋恚。時，彼惡龍心懷恐怖，東西馳走，欲得出石室，然不能得出石室。是時，彼惡龍來向如來，入世尊鉢中住。

Kāśyapa then led his 500 disciples to the cave to put out the fire. Some of them carried water and others brought ladders, but they weren’t able to put out the fire. It was the Bhagavān’s power that did. The Bhagavān then entered the concentration of kindness and slowly made that serpent stop being hateful. The evil serpent’s mind then became fearful. It ran east and west, trying to leave the cave, but it wasn’t able to find the exit. The evil serpent then went up to the Tathāgata and coiled up in his alms bowl.
