八年。初祖摩訶迦葉（此云大飲光）先於法華會上聞佛說火宅喻。迦葉四大聲聞。於此領解。佛為授記名光明佛（此通付法）至涅槃時。佛告大眾我今所有無上正法悉已付囑摩訶迦葉。當為汝等作大依止（見別付法末代住持當用別義）姨母所獻金縷袈裟慈氏成佛留與傳付。迦葉弘持至二十年。以法藏付阿難陀。即持佛衣往鷄足山。入滅盡定。以待彌勒下生（此云慈氏姨母摩訶波闍波提。此云大愛道。鷄足靈鷲山三峯如仰雞足）。

In the eighth year, the First Patriarch, Mahākāśyapa (translated as 'Great Light-Drinker'), having previously heard the Buddha preach the parable of the burning house in the assembly of the Lotus Sūtra, was among the four great śrāvakas who attained understanding from it. The Buddha bestowed a prophecy upon him that he would be named Light Buddha (this was a general entrustment of the Dharma). When nearing nirvāṇa, the Buddha addressed the great assembly: 'All the unsurpassed, correct Dharma that I now possess has been fully entrusted to Mahākāśyapa. He shall be a great refuge for you all' (see the specific entrustment of the Dharma; sustaining it in the final age requires this specific sense). The gold-threaded kāṣāya presented by [the Buddha's] maternal aunt was reserved to be handed over when Maitreya attains Buddhahood. Kāśyapa propagated and maintained [the Dharma] for twenty years, and then entrusted the treasury of the Dharma to Ānanda. He then took the Buddha's robe, went to Mount Kukkuṭapāda, and entered the samādhi of cessation, awaiting the advent of Maitreya (the aunt was Mahāprajāpatī, translated as 'Great Path of Love'; Kukkuṭapāda means 'Cock's Foot', where the three peaks of Vulture Peak resemble an upturned cock's foot).
