金剛般若經贊述 1.213

1.213

述曰，依世親釋此破第二疑也。於中初、問，次、答。言然燈者，即謂定光。謂釋迦佛昔為菩薩之時，七地將滿，當爾摩納仙人，聞定光佛欲來入城，遂從一女人買華將以散佛，又表己之深敬，布髮掩泥，當爾佛為說法，即入八地，第三僧祇初也。其賣華女人聞言供佛，遂不取錢，便共同願，因此而來恒為夫婦，作善知識，即耶輸也。

The Commentary says: According to Vasubandhu's explanation, this refutes the second doubt. In this, first is the question, next the reply. Speaking of Dīpaṃkara (Ran-deng), this means Dingguang. That is, when Śākyamuni Buddha in the past was a bodhisattva, his seventh bhūmi was nearly complete; at that time as the young ascetic māṇava, hearing that Dīpaṃkara Buddha was about to enter the city, he purchased flowers from a woman to scatter over the Buddha, and also to manifest his deep reverence, he spread his hair over the mud; at that time the Buddha preached the Dharma for him, and he immediately entered the eighth bhūmi, the beginning of the third asaṃkhyeya [kalpa]. The flower-selling woman, hearing that he was making an offering to the Buddha, did not take his money and joined in the same vow; following from this, they were constantly husband and wife, acting as a spiritual friend—this was Yaśodharā.
