Ekottaragama (Sanskrit fragments) 24.5.67

24.5.67

迦葉對曰：「吾不須是，沙門自取食之。」是時，迦葉復作是念：「此沙門極有神力，有大威神，吾去之後，取此果來。雖爾，故不如我，我已得道。」

Kāśyapa replied, “I don’t need it. Ascetic, take it for your own meal.”

Then Kāśyapa again thought, “This ascetic has such miraculous abilities; he’s quite powerful. After I left, he picked this fruit and came back. Even so, it’s not the same as the truth that I’ve attained.”
