佛食已訖還歸所止。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。世尊即便至欝單越。取自然粳米飯。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。佛以鉢中粳米飯。以示迦葉而語之言。汝今識此鉢中飯不。迦葉答言。不識此飯。佛言。從此北行。數萬踰闍那到欝單越取此自然粳米飯來。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。雖復神通難可測量。然故不如我道真也。迦葉即便下種種食。佛即呪曰。

It is exceedingly fragrant and delicious; you may eat it.” Hearing this, Kāśyapa thought to himself, “That way is exceedingly distant from here, yet this śramaṇa was able to go and return in an instant.
