1.246

有婬童女與彼男誓,至期不來,而自悔曰:「欲吾知爾本,意以思想生,吾不思想爾,即爾而不生。」佛行道聞之,謂沙門曰:「記之,此迦葉佛偈流在俗間。」

There was a lustful young maiden who made a pledge with a man. When the appointed time came, he did not appear, and she reproached herself, saying: "Desire, I know your root! Your intention arises from thought; if I do not think of you, then you will not arise." As the Buddha was walking, he heard this and said to the śramaṇas: "Remember this; this verse of Kāśyapa Buddha has circulated among the worldly folk."
