釋迦譜 3.22

3.22

爾時波斯匿王。聞優填王作如來像。而供養之。復召國中巧匠。波斯匿王而生此念。當用何寶作如來像耶。如來形體煌如天金。是時波斯匿王。純以紫磨金。作如來像高五尺。爾時閻浮里內。始有此二如來形像。

At that time, King Prasenajit heard that King Udayana had made an image of the Tathāgata and was making offerings to it. He again summoned the skilled craftsmen of his country. King Prasenajit gave rise to this thought: "What precious material should be used to make the Tathāgata's image? The Tathāgata's bodily form is as brilliant as heavenly gold." At that time, King Prasenajit used pure purple-gold to make an image of the Tathāgata five feet tall. At that time, within Jambudvīpa, there were for the first time these two images of the Tathāgata.
