1.138

經云。太子至閑靜林。以寶冠明珠瓔珞嚴飾具。與車匿已。以劍自剃鬚髮。作是誓言願共一切除斷煩惱。于時天帝接髮而去。讚言善哉。大權云。菩薩之頂無能見者。況能剃髮。故自剃髮。又除王恨故。又念過去諸佛法。衣不以七寶。淨居天知已。化作獵師身服袈裟。菩薩即以寶衣而用貿之。智度論云。所貿得衣。麁布僧伽梨也。經云。車匿見已。知志不迴。馬嘶同返。

The sūtra says: The Prince reached a quiet and secluded forest. Having given his jeweled crown, bright pearls, and necklace ornaments to Chandaka, he shaved his own beard and hair with a sword and made this vow: “May I, together with all beings, eradicate and sever the defilements.” At that time, the Heavenly Lord [Śakra] caught the hair and departed, praising him, saying, “Excellent!” The Daquan [shenli jing] says: No one can see the crown of the Bodhisattva's head, much less shave his hair; therefore he shaved his hair himself. It was also to remove the king's resentment. Furthermore, he recalled the Dharma of all past Buddhas, that their robes were not made of the seven precious things. The Śuddhāvāsa devas, knowing this, transformed into a hunter wearing a kāṣāya robe; the Bodhisattva then exchanged his jeweled garments for it. The Zhidu lun says: The robe obtained by exchange was a saṃghāṭī of coarse cloth. The sūtra says: When Chandaka saw this, he knew the Prince's resolution could not be turned back, and neighing, the horse returned with him.
