### [2.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.185.2.33)

「迦葉行白佛言：『願大道人留此，不須復遠行，我自給飯食。』即還勅家，明日作好飯，施床座已；食時自行請佛。佛言：『便去，今隨後到。』迦葉適去，佛如人屈申臂頃，東適弗于逮界上數千億里，取樹果名閻逼，盛滿鉢還。迦葉未至，佛已坐其床上。迦葉後到，問：『大道人從何道來？』佛言：『卿適去，我東到弗于逮地取閻逼果，香美可食。』便取食之。佛飯已去。迦葉續念：『是大沙門雖神，不如我道真也！』

> "Kāśyapa went and said to the Buddha: 'I pray that the Great Man of the Way will remain here and not journey far away; I myself shall supply you with food.' He immediately returned and instructed his household to prepare fine food the next day and set out a couch and seat. When it was time for the meal, he went himself to invite the Buddha. The Buddha said: 'Go ahead, and I shall follow shortly.' Just as Kāśyapa departed, in the time it takes a man to bend and extend his arm, the Buddha went east several thousand billions of leagues to the borders of Pūrvavideha, gathered the fruit of a tree called jambū, filled his bowl with it, and returned. Before Kāśyapa arrived, the Buddha was already seated upon his couch. When Kāśyapa arrived afterward, he asked: 'By what road did the Great Man of the Way come?' The Buddha said: 'Just as you departed, I went east to the land of Pūrvavideha and gathered jambū fruit, which is fragrant, delicious, and edible.' \[Kāśyapa\] then took it and ate it. Having eaten his meal, the Buddha departed. Kāśyapa still thought: 'Although this great śramaṇa is spiritual, he is not equal to my Way, which is real!'
