金剛般若經疏論纂要 2.8

2.8

Kali is translated here as 'Extremely Evil'. When the Buddha was an ascetic in the past cultivating the Way in the mountains, the king was tired from hunting and fell asleep; his consorts together paid homage to the ascetic. The king asked if he had attained the four fruits, and he answered 'no' to all. The king, enraged, dismembered him. The devas grew angry and rained stones; the king was frightened and repented. The ascetic proved that he originally had no anger, and the king was thereby spared harm. The Treatise says: "Not only was there no suffering, but there was joy, on account of loving-kindness and compassion."
