1.476

佛食已訖還歸所住。洗鉢漱口坐於樹下。明日食時復往請佛。佛言汝去。我隨後往。迦葉適去。俄爾之間。世尊即便至弗婆提取菴摩羅果。滿鉢持來。迦葉未至佛已先到。迦葉後來見佛已坐。即便問言。年少沙門。從何道來而先至此。佛以鉢中菴摩羅果。以示迦葉而語之言。汝今識此鉢中果下。迦葉答言。不識此果。佛言。從此東行數萬踰闍那。到弗婆提取此果來。名菴摩羅。極為香美。汝可食之。迦葉聞已心自念言。彼道去此極為長遠。而此沙門。乃能俄爾已得往還。覩其神化所未曾有。然故不如我道真也。迦葉即便下種種食。佛即呪願。

Taking an āmlaka fruit from his bowl, the Buddha showed it to Kāśyapa and said to him, "Do you recognize this fruit in the bowl?" Kāśyapa replied, "I do not recognize this fruit." The Buddha said, "Traveling east from here for tens of thousands of yojanas, reaching Pūrvavideha, I retrieved this fruit. It is called āmlaka; it is exceedingly sweet and fragrant, and you may eat it." Having heard this, Kāśyapa thought to himself, "That road is exceedingly long and far from here, yet this śramaṇa was able in a moment to go and return. Beholding his supernatural transformation is unprecedented, but it is still not as true as my way." Kāśyapa then served various kinds of food, and the Buddha recited the meal blessing:
