大方便佛報恩經 2.35

2.35

"Then the great king said to the great master: 'What is it that you require?' The brāhmaṇa said: 'Give me offerings.' The king said: 'What kind of offerings do you require? Is it clothing, bedding, food, and drink? Or gold, silver, and precious gems?' The brāhmaṇa said: 'I do not require such offerings.' The king said: 'If you do not require such offerings, is it elephants, horses, and carriages? Or the state, its cities, wives, and children? Or music and entertainers?' The brāhmaṇa said: 'I have no use for any such offerings at all. If you can make a thousand incisions on the king's body, fill them with oil, place lamp wicks in them, and light them as an offering, then I will explain the Buddha-Dharma for you. If you cannot, I wish to get up and leave.' Before the king could reply, he immediately descended from the high seat.
