1.478

佛食已畢還歸所止。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。世尊便即至瞿陀尼。取訶梨勒果。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。佛以鉢中訶梨勒果。以示迦葉而語之言。汝今識此鉢中果不。迦葉答言。不識此果。佛言。從此西行數萬踰闍那。到瞿陀尼取此果來。名阿梨勒。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。覩其神通所未曾有。然故不如我道真也。迦葉即便下種種食。佛即呪曰。

It is called harītakī; 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.
