大方便佛報恩經 5.56

5.56

時憍曇彌告諸比丘尼及一切諸善女人，而作是言：「我等應當至心歸命阿難大師。若有女人欲求安隱，吉祥果報，常當於二月八日、八月八日，著淨潔衣，至心受持八戒齋法，晝夜六時建大精進。阿難即以大威神力，應聲護助，如願即得。」

Then Gautamī addressed all the bhikṣuṇīs and all good women, saying: "We should wholeheartedly take refuge in the Great Master Ānanda. If there are women who wish to seek security and auspicious karmic retribution, they should always, on the eighth day of the second month and the eighth day of the eighth month, wear clean and pure clothing, wholeheartedly receive and uphold the eight precept observance, and establish great vigor during the six periods of the day and night. Ānanda will then, with his great supernatural power, respond to their call and offer protection and aid, so that they obtain what they wish."
