2.43
「時尼連禪水,長流駃疾,佛以自然神通,斷水令住,使水隔起,高出人頭,令底揚塵,佛行其中。迦葉恐佛為水所漂,即與弟子俱,乘船索佛。迦葉見水隔斷,中央塵起,佛行其間。迦葉呼言:『大道人乃尚活耶?』佛言:『然,吾自活耳。』又問佛:『欲上船不?』佛言:『大善。』佛念:『今當現神,令子心伏。』即從水中,貫船底入,無有穿迹。迦葉復念:『是大沙門,神則神矣,然不如我已得羅漢也!』
"At that time, the waters of the Nairañjanā were flowing broad and swift. By means of his natural supernatural powers, the Buddha blocked the waters and made them stop, causing them to part and rise up higher than a person's head, and raising dust from the riverbed as the Buddha walked within it. Fearing that the Buddha had been swept away by the waters, Kāśyapa took a boat together with his disciples to search for the Buddha. Kāśyapa saw the waters partitioned off and dust rising in the middle, with the Buddha walking among it. Kāśyapa called out, saying: 'Is the Great Man of the Way still alive?' The Buddha said: 'Indeed, I am alive.' He further asked the Buddha: 'Do you wish to board the boat, or not?' The Buddha said: 'Very well.' The Buddha thought: 'I should now display a supernatural feat to subdue this man's mind.' He immediately entered from within the water, penetrating through the bottom of the boat without leaving any trace of a hole. Kāśyapa thought again: 'This great śramaṇa is certainly spiritual, yet he is not equal to me, who have already attained the status of an arhat!'
