大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 84.44

84.44

疏「此云飲光」者，真諦等同譯為飲光，上古譯云龜氏。其先學道，靈龜負圖應之，因以命族。《增一阿含》云「羅閱祇大富長者名迦毘羅，婦名檀那，子名畢鉢羅，子婦名婆陀。其家千倍勝瓶沙王，十六大國無與為隣。畢鉢羅，即迦葉名也，其父禱此樹而生故。」《付法藏》傳云「毘婆尸佛滅後，其塔中像金色缺壞。時有貧女得金珠，請匠打為箔。金師歡喜，治瑩佛畢，立誓為夫婦。九十一劫天上人中，身恒金色，恒受快樂。最後為迦葉夫婦。畏勝王得罪，減一犁，但用九百九十九雙牛金犁。」又經云「其家有㲲，最下品者直百千兩金。以釘釘入地十尺，氈不穿破，如本不異。六十庫金粟，一庫管三百四十斛。」又經云「以麥飯供養辟支佛，恒趣忉利各千返受樂，身三十二相，但論金色耳。剡浮那陀金在濁水底，光徹水上，在暗暗滅。迦葉身光勝於此金光，照一由旬。」《增一》云「佛法中行十二頭陀難行苦行，大迦葉第一。」言「揀餘迦葉」者，即如十力迦葉、優樓頻螺等。

Regarding the Commentary's statement that '[Kāśyapa] is translated here as "Light-Drinker"': Paramārtha and others consistently translated it as 'Light-Drinker', while ancient translations rendered it as 'Turtle Clan'. His ancestor studied the Way, and an auspicious turtle bearing a diagram responded to him, so the clan was named after it. The Ekottarika-āgama states: 'In Rājagṛha there was a wealthy elder named Kapila; his wife was named Dhāna, his son Pippala, and his daughter-in-law Bhadrā. His family surpassed King Bimbisāra a thousandfold, and among the sixteen great kingdoms none was his equal. Pippala was the name of Kāśyapa, because his father prayed to this [pippala] tree and he was born.' The Fu fazang zhuan states: 'After Vipaśyin Buddha passed into extinction, the golden color of the image in his stūpa had deteriorated. At that time, a poor woman obtained a gold bead and asked a goldsmith to beat it into gold leaf. The goldsmith was delighted; when the adornment of the Buddha was finished, they made a vow to become husband and wife. For ninety-one eons, among heavens and humans, their bodies were constantly golden and they continually experienced happiness. In their final life, they became Kāśyapa and his wife. Fearing they might incur offense by surpassing the king, they deducted one plow and used only nine hundred and ninety-nine pairs of oxen with golden plows.' Another sūtra states: 'His family had fine cotton cloth; even the lowest grade was worth a hundred thousand ounces of gold. When an iron nail was driven ten feet into the ground through it, the felt was not pierced or torn, remaining as before. There were sixty storehouses of golden millet, each storehouse containing three hundred and forty bushels.' Another sūtra states: 'Having offered barley rice to a pratyekabuddha, he went to the Trāyastriṃśa heaven and returned [to humanity] a thousand times, experiencing bliss, with a body endowed with the thirty-two marks—purely referring to his golden color. When Jāmbūnada gold is at the bottom of murky water, its light penetrates above the water; in darkness, it dispels the dark. Kāśyapa's bodily radiance surpassed this gold light, illuminating one yojana.' The Ekottarika[-āgama] states: 'Among those in my Dharma who practice the twelve dhūtas and difficult ascetic practices, Mahākāśyapa is foremost.' As for the remark 'distinguishing him from other Kāśyapas', this refers to ones such as Daśabala-Kāśyapa, Uruvilvā[-kāśyapa], and others.
