1.58

於中獨坐時。五百大賊劫取官物。路由菩薩廬邊。明日捕賊蹤跡在菩薩舍下。因收菩薩前後劫盜法。以木貫身。立為大標。血流於地。是大瞿曇以天眼見之。便以神足飛來問曰。子有何罪酷乃爾乎。卿無子當何係嗣。菩薩答言。命在須臾何陳子孫。王使左右弩射殺之。大瞿曇悲哀涕泣下棺殮之。取土中餘血以泥團之。持著山中還其精舍。左血著左器中。其右亦然。大瞿曇言。是道士若其至誠。天神當使血化為人。却後十月左即成男。右即成女。於是便姓瞿曇氏。一名舍夷（舍夷。外國貴姓之號也）。仁賢劫來始為寶如來釋迦越。

While he was sitting alone therein, five hundred great bandits robbed government property and their path passed by the bodhisattva’s hut. The next day, the pursuers traced the bandits' footsteps to below the bodhisattva's dwelling. Thereupon they arrested the bodhisattva. According to the law for robbery, they impaled his body on a wooden stake, erecting it as a great marker, and his blood flowed onto the ground. The Great Gautama saw this with the divine eye, and immediately flew there with supernatural power, asking: "Son, what crime have you committed to suffer such cruelty? You have no son; how will you continue your lineage?" The bodhisattva answered: "My life will end in a moment; how could I speak of sons and grandsons?" The king sent his attendants to shoot and kill him with crossbows. The Great Gautama wept in sorrow, put him into a coffin, and laid him to rest. He took the remaining blood from the earth, shaped it into lumps of mud, carried them into the mountains, and returned to his hermitage. He placed the left blood in a left vessel, and did the same with the right. The Great Gautama said: "If this man of the Way was of utmost sincerity, the heavenly spirits will surely cause the blood to transform into human beings." Ten months later, the left side became a boy and the right side became a girl. Thereupon they took the Gautama surname, also called Śākya. (Śākya is a noble surname title in foreign countries.) When the Wise Kalpa (Bhadrakalpa) arrived, he first became Ratnatathāgata Śākyarāja.
