「明日,迦葉復請佛。佛言:『便去,今隨後到。』迦葉反顧,忽然不見佛;佛以神足,北適欝單越界上數千億里,取自然粳米,滿鉢而還,先迦葉至,坐其床上。迦葉後至,問:『大道人復從何來?』佛言:『從北欝單越地,取此成熟粳米,快美且香,卿試食之。』佛飯已去。迦葉復念:『是大沙門雖神,故不如我道真也!』
"The next day, Kāśyapa invited the Buddha again. The Buddha said: 'Go ahead, and I shall follow shortly.' Kāśyapa looked back, and suddenly the Buddha was nowhere to be seen. By means of his spiritual powers, the Buddha went north several thousand billions of leagues to the borders of Uttarakuru, gathered naturally grown non-glutinous rice, filled his bowl, and returned; arriving before Kāśyapa, he sat upon his couch. When Kāśyapa arrived afterward, he asked: 'From where has the Great Man of the Way come again?' The Buddha said: 'From the northern land of Uttarakuru, I gathered this ripened non-glutinous rice, delightful, delicious, and fragrant; you may try eating it.' Having eaten his meal, the Buddha departed. Kāśyapa thought again: 'Although this great śramaṇa is spiritual, he is still not equal to my Way, which is real!'
