2.67

梵志聞偈迷解信受，旋還舍衛路由一國，國名拘藍尼，有長者名曰美音，為人恩仁眾人敬仰。梵志過宿，長者問曰：「道士那來？今欲所至？」具陳彼澤樹神功德：「欲詣舍衛造須達所，攢採齋法冀蒙得福。」美音喜踊宿行所追旦自解暢，宣令宗室：「誰能共行受齋戒法？」合五百人僉然應命，本願相引，威儀嚴出共詣舍衛。未至祇洹道逢須達，遇而不識顧問從者：「此何丈夫？」對曰：「須達也。」梵志眾等喜而追曰：「吾願成矣。」求人得人馳趣相見，同聲歎曰：「樹神歎德，注仰虛心具說所嗟，故來投託，冀示法齋。」住車答曰：「所求大善！吾有尊師號曰如來、眾祐，度脫人類近在祇洹，可共親造。」即皆敬諾恭肅進前，遙見如來情喜難量，五體投地退坐一面，皆共長跪白世尊曰：「本初發家，欲至三池沐浴求仙，經由樹神所陳如此，是故投化願示極靈。」
