33.4

雕像 帝釋請佛升忉利天。為母說法。優填王(拘琰彌國王)思覩如來。即以旃檀作如來像。高五尺(增一阿含○案西域記。優填王請目連。以神力接工人上天。親觀妙相。用旃檀雕像。高至五尺)。

Carved Images: Śakra Devānām Indra requested the Buddha to ascend to the Trāyastriṃśa Heaven to preach the Dharma for his mother. King Udayana (king of the kingdom of Kauśāmbī) longed to behold the Tathāgata, and thereupon used sandalwood to make an image of the Tathāgata five feet in height (from the *Ekottarāgama*; according to the *Record of the Western Regions*, King Udayana requested Maudgalyāyana to use his supernormal powers to convey a craftsman up to heaven to directly view the wondrous form, using sandalwood to carve an image rising to five feet in height).
