中天竺舍衛國祇洹寺圖經 2.24

2.24

次北一院名曰佛衣服院。堂房如上，南門向巷。阿難所止，常護佛衣。有一銅磬，可受五升，磬子四邊悉黃金鏤作過去佛弟子。又鼻上以紫磨金為九龍形，背上立天人像，執玉槌用擊磬，聞三千世界，音中亦說諸佛教誡弟子法。磬是梵王造之。及佛滅度，娑竭羅龍王收入海宮。

Next, a courtyard to the north is named the Courtyard of the Buddha's Robes. The halls and chambers are as described above, with a southern gate facing the lane. Ānanda resided here, constantly guarding the Buddha's robes. There is a bronze chime that can hold five pints; the four rims of the chime are all engraved in yellow gold with disciples of past Buddhas. Moreover, on the suspension loop, purple-sheen gold forms the shape of nine dragons, upon whose backs stands the image of a deva, holding a jade mallet to strike the chime. Heard throughout the trichiliocosm, its tones also expound the methods by which all Buddhas instruct their disciples. The chime was crafted by Brahmā. When the Buddha entered extinction, the Sāgara Nāgarāja took it into his ocean palace.
