1.6

「語頃,王家女過,厥名瞿夷,挾水瓶持七枚青蓮華。菩薩追而呼曰:『大姊且止!請以百銀錢雇手中華。』女曰:『佛將入城,王齋戒沐浴,華欲上之,不可得也。』

"A moment later, a woman of the royal house passed by, named Gopikā, carrying a water pitcher and holding seven blue lotus flowers. The bodhisattva chased after her and called out: 'Elder sister, please stop! I ask to hire the flowers in your hand for one hundred silver coins.' The woman said: 'The Buddha is about to enter the city. The king has purified himself, bathed, and wishes to offer these flowers up; they cannot be obtained.'
