釋迦譜 1.491

1.491

爾時世尊。又於他日入指池而自洗浴。洗浴訖已心念欲出。無所攀持。池上有樹名迦羅迦。枝葉蔚映臨於池上。樹神即便按此樹枝令佛攀出還坐樹下。于時迦葉來至佛所。忽然見樹曲枝垂蔭。怪而問佛。此樹何故曲枝垂蔭。佛即答言。我於向者入池洗浴。出無所攀。樹神致感為我曲之。於是迦葉見樹曲枝。又聞佛言歎未曾有。而自心念。年少沙門乃有如此大威德力能感樹神。然故不如我道真也。

At that time, on another day, the World-Honoured One entered the pond [made by the] finger to bathe. Having finished bathing, he wished to climb out, but had nothing to grasp. Above the pond was a tree called the kalaka, whose branches and leaves spread luxuriantly over the pond. The tree deity then bent down a branch of this tree so that the Buddha could pull himself out, and he returned to sit beneath the tree. At that time, Kāśyapa came to where the Buddha was, and suddenly saw the tree's branch bent down providing shade. Astonished, he asked the Buddha, “Why is the branch of this tree bent down to give shade?” The Buddha replied, “Earlier I entered the pond to bathe. When coming out, I had nothing to grasp, and the tree deity was moved to bend down for me.” Thereupon Kāśyapa, seeing the bent branch of the tree and hearing the Buddha's words, marveled at what was unprecedented and thought to himself, “The young śramaṇa has such great majesty and power as to move a tree deity, yet he is still not as true as my path.”
