大方便佛報恩經 3.53

3.53

At that time the Bhagavat, together with Ānanda, entered the city of Rājagṛha. Having begged for food, he exited the city, and outside the city gate there was a large, deep pit. At that time the people of Rājagṛha carried their feces and urine and discarded them into this pit, and foul rainwater also flowed into it. At that time in this filthy water there was an insect whose shape resembled a human, with many hands and feet. Seeing the Tathāgata from afar, it lifted its head out of the water, looked at the Tathāgata, and tears filled its eyes. When the Tathāgata saw it, he was filled with pity and sorrow, and becoming sombre and displeased, he immediately returned to Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa.
