太子瑞應本起經 2.24

2.24

「佛復移近迦葉，坐一樹下，夜第一四天王俱下聽佛說經。四王光影，明如盛火。迦葉夜起占候，見佛邊有四火。明旦行問：『大道人亦事火乎？』佛言：『不事火也。』曰：『昨夜此間有四火，何也？』佛言：『昨夜四天王來下聽經，是其光耳。』迦葉念言：『是大沙門極神。雖然，尚未得道故，不如我得羅漢也！』

"The Buddha again moved closer to Kāśyapa, sitting beneath a tree. In the first part of the night, the Four Heavenly Kings all descended to listen to the Buddha preach the scriptures. The light and radiance of the four kings were as bright as a blazing fire. Kāśyapa arose at night to make astrological observations, and saw four fires beside the Buddha. The next morning he went to ask: ‘Does the Great Man of the Way also serve fire?’ The Buddha said: ‘I do not serve fire.’ He asked: ‘Last night there were four fires here, why was that?’ The Buddha said: ‘Last night the Four Heavenly Kings came down to listen to the scriptures; it was their light.’ Kāśyapa thought to himself: ‘This great śramaṇa is extremely miraculous. Even so, he has still not attained the Way, and hence is not equal to my attainment of arhatship!’
