二十二祖鶴勒那尊者。月氏國人。年七歲。見居民入廟祀神遽斥之曰。汝妄興災福幻惑世人。歲費牲牢為害甚矣。其廟與像忽然摧倒。年三十八。始遇摩拏羅謂之曰。汝昔有弟子五百。以福德薄生於羽族。今惑汝惠。故為鶴眾相隨。勒那曰。以何方便令彼解脫。摩拏羅為說偈曰。心隨萬境轉。轉處實能幽。隨流認得性。無喜復無憂。鶴眾聞偈飛鳴而去。勒那行化至中印度。有王無畏海。清鶴勒那說法。忽見緋衣素服二人。俱至禮拜。良久復沒。王問何人。師曰。日月天子也。時師子比丘來聽法。師指東北問曰。汝見此氣如何。師子曰。我見氣如白虹貫天。復有黑氣橫亘其中。師曰。吾滅五十年。北天竺當有難起嬰在汝身。遂密示其事。現十八變而入滅度眾取舍利起塔供養(付法藏經)。
The twenty-second patriarch, the Venerable Haklenayaśas, was a man of the Yuezhi kingdom. At seven years of age, seeing the residents entering a temple to sacrifice to gods, he immediately rebuked them, saying: 'You falsely invent disasters and blessings to delude worldly people, and squander sacrificial beasts each year, doing immense harm.' The temple and its icons suddenly collapsed. At the age of thirty-eight, he first met Manorhita, who said to him: 'In the past, you had five hundred disciples who, because their merit was meager, were born into the feathered race. Now, drawn by your kindness, they follow you as a flock of cranes.' Haklenayaśas asked: 'By what expedient means can they be liberated?' Manorhita spoke a verse for him: / 'The mind turns according to ten thousand conditions; / Where it turns is truly profound. / Recognizing the nature while following the flow, / There is neither joy nor sorrow.' / Hearing the verse, the flock of cranes flew off calling out. Haklenayaśas traveled to Central India. There was a king named Fearless Ocean (Abhayamati) who invited Haklenayaśas to expound the Dharma. Suddenly, two figures in crimson robes and plain white clothes both arrived to bow, and after a while vanished again. The king asked who they were. The master said: 'They are the devaputras of the sun and moon.' At that time the monk Āryasiṃha came to listen to the Dharma. The master pointed to the northeast and asked: 'What do you make of this vapor you see?' Āryasiṃha said: 'I see a vapor like a white rainbow piercing the sky, and there is also a black vapor traversing it.' The master said: 'Fifty years after my extinction, a calamity will arise in Northern India and fall upon your person.' He then secretly revealed the matter to him, manifested the eighteen transformations, and entered extinction. The assembly gathered his relics and erected a stūpa to make offerings (from the Fu fazang jing).
