「明日食時,迦葉復請佛。佛言:『便去,今隨後到。』迦葉適去,佛便南行,極閻浮提界數千萬里,取呵梨勒果,盛滿鉢還。迦葉未歸,佛已坐其床。迦葉至,問:『何緣先到?』佛言:『卿適去,我即南行極此地界,取呵梨勒果,亦香且美。』便取食之。佛飯已去。迦葉續念:『是大沙門雖神,不如我道真也!』

"The next day at mealtime, Kāśyapa invited the Buddha again. The Buddha said: 'Go ahead, and I shall follow shortly.' Just as Kāśyapa departed, the Buddha went south tens of millions of leagues to the far border of Jambudvīpa, gathered harītakī fruit, filled his bowl with it, and returned. Before Kāśyapa returned, the Buddha was already seated upon his couch. When Kāśyapa arrived, he asked: 'How is it that you have arrived first?' The Buddha said: 'Just as you departed, I immediately went south to the far border of this land and gathered harītakī fruit, which is also fragrant and delicious.' [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!'
