1.7

「又請曰：『姊可更取求。』雇二百三百不肯，即探囊中五百銀錢，盡用與之。瞿夷念華，極直數錢，乃雇五百，貪其銀寶，與五莖華，自留二枚。迴別意疑：『此何道士，披鹿皮衣，裁蔽形體，不惜銀錢寶，得五莖華？』憘怡非恒，追呼：『男子！以誠告我，此華可得；不者奪卿。』菩薩顧曰：『買華從百錢至五百，以自交決，何宜相奪？』女曰：『我王家人，力能奪卿。』菩薩慝然曰：『欲以上佛，求所願耳。』

Thereupon he reached into his bag, took out all five hundred silver coins, and gave them all to her. Gopikā reflected that the flowers were worth at most a few coins, yet he offered five hundred; coveting his silver treasure, she gave him five stalks of flowers and kept two for herself. As they turned to part, her mind grew suspicious: 'What kind of practitioner of the Way is this, dressed in deerskin garments that barely cover his form, who does not begrudge his silver coins and treasure to obtain five stalks of flowers?' Delighted beyond measure, she chased after him and called out: 'Man! Tell me the truth, and you may keep these flowers; if not, I will take them back from you.' The bodhisattva looked back and said: 'Buying the flowers began from one hundred coins up to five hundred, and we settled the transaction ourselves; why should you seize them?' The woman said: 'I am of the royal house; I have the power to seize them from you.' The bodhisattva said sheepishly: 'I wish to offer them up to the Buddha, merely seeking my vow.'
