舉:「罽賓國王仗劍,詣師子尊者所,乃問:『師得蘊空否?』尊者云:『已得。』王曰:『可施我頭。』尊者曰:『身非我有,豈況於頭。』王遂斬之,白乳高丈餘,王臂自落。」師拈云:「作家君王,天然有在。」

He brought up: "The King of Jibin brandished a sword, went to the place of Venerable Siṃha, and asked: 'Has the Master attained the emptiness of the aggregates, or not?' The Venerable said: 'I have already attained it.' The King said: 'Can you give me your head?' The Venerable said: 'The body is not mine, how much less the head!' The King then cut it off; white milk shot up over ten feet high, and the King's arm fell off of itself." The Master commented: "An adept king, naturally possessing [it]."
