金光明最勝王經疏 6.160

6.160

經　爾時世尊即於座上跏趺而坐，端身正念，告諸苾芻：「汝等樂欲見彼往昔苦行菩薩本舍利不？」諸苾芻言：「我等樂見。」世尊即以百福莊嚴相好之手而按其地，于時大地六種震動即便開裂，七寶制底忽然涌出，眾寶羅網莊嚴其上。大眾見已，生希有心。爾時世尊即從座起，作禮右遶，還就本座，告阿難陀：「汝可開此制底之戶。」時阿難陀即開其戶，見七寶函奇珍間飾，白言：「世尊！有七寶函眾寶莊校。」佛言：「汝可開函。」時阿難陀奉教開已，見有舍利白如珂雪、拘物頭華，即白佛言：「函有舍利，色妙異常。」佛言：「阿難陀！汝可持此大士骨來。」時阿難陀即取其骨奉授世尊。世尊受已，告諸苾芻：「汝等應觀苦行菩薩遺身舍利。」而說頌曰：「菩薩勝德相應慧，勇猛精勤六度圓，常修不息為菩提，大捨堅固心無倦。汝等苾芻咸應禮敬菩薩本身，此之舍利乃是無量戒定慧香之所熏馥最上福田，極難逢遇。」時諸苾芻及諸大眾咸皆至心合掌恭敬頂禮舍利，歎未曾有。時阿難陀前禮佛足，白言：「世尊！如來大師出過一切為諸有情之所恭敬，何因緣故禮此身骨？」佛告阿難陀：「我因此骨速得無上正等菩提，為報往恩我今致禮。」

Sūtra: At that time, the World-Honoured One sat down cross-legged upon the seat, upright in body and with correct mindfulness, and told the bhikṣus: "Do you wish to see the original relics of that ascetic bodhisattva of the past?" The bhikṣus said: "We wish to see them." The World-Honoured One then pressed the earth with his hand adorned with the marks of a hundred merits; at that time the great earth underwent the six kinds of shaking and immediately split open, and a caitya of the seven jewels suddenly welled up, with nets of various jewels adorning its top. When the great assembly saw this, they gave rise to thoughts of what is rare. At that time, the World-Honoured One arose from his seat, paid homage, circumambulated it to the right, and returned to his original seat. He told Ānanda: "You may open the door of this caitya." At that time, Ānanda immediately opened its door and saw a casket of the seven jewels interspaced and decorated with rare gems. He said to the Buddha: "World-Honoured One, there is a casket of the seven jewels adorned with diverse gems." The Buddha said: "You may open the casket." At that time, Ānanda received the instruction and, having opened it, saw that there were relics as white as mother-of-pearl, snow, and the kumuda flower. He then said to the Buddha: "The casket contains relics of an extraordinarily wondrous colour." The Buddha said: "Ānanda, you may bring the bones of this Mahāsattva." At that time, Ānanda took the bones and offered them to the World-Honoured One. Having received them, the World-Honoured One told the bhikṣus: "You should look upon the surviving bodily relics of the ascetic bodhisattva," and he spoke a verse, saying: / "The bodhisattva's wisdom associated with supreme virtue, / Courageous, vigorous, and diligent, perfected the six perfections. / Always cultivating without cessation for the sake of bodhi, / His great relinquishment was firm, his mind free of weariness. / You bhikṣus should all pay homage to the bodhisattva's original body; / These relics are indeed perfumed by the fragrance of immeasurable morality, concentration, and wisdom— / The most supreme field of merit, extremely difficult to encounter." / At that time, the bhikṣus and the great assembly all reverently pressed their palms together with wholehearted devotion, bowed their heads in homage to the relics, and praised it as unprecedented. Then Ānanda stepped forward, paid homage at the Buddha's feet, and said to the Buddha: "World-Honoured One, the Tathāgata Great Master transcends all and is revered by all sentient beings. For what cause and condition do you pay homage to these bodily bones?" The Buddha told Ānanda: "Because of these bones I quickly attained unexcelled, complete bodhi. In order to repay past kindness, I now pay homage."
