高僧傳 9.56

9.56

以晉惠之末，至于洛陽。諸道人悉為作禮，域胡跪晏然，不動容色。時或告人以前身所更，謂支法淵從牛中來，竺法興從人中來。又譏諸眾僧，謂衣服華麗，不應素法。見洛陽宮城云：「髣髴似忉利天宮，但自然之與人事不同耳。」域謂沙門耆闍蜜曰：「匠此宮者從忉利天來，成便還天上矣。屋脊瓦下，應有千五百作器。」時咸云，昔聞此匠實以作器著瓦下。又云，宮成之後，尋被害焉。

At the end of the reign of Emperor Hui of the Jin, he arrived in Luoyang. All the monks paid homage to him; Jīvaka knelt in the barbarian posture, calm and composed, his expression unchanged. At times he would tell people about their previous lifetimes, saying that Zhi Fayuan came from among cattle, and Zhu Faxing came from among humans. He also criticized the assembly of monks, saying that their robes were ornate and did not conform to the simple Dharma. Seeing the palace walls of Luoyang, he said, 'It vaguely resembles the palace of Trāyastriṃśa Heaven, but the natural and the man-made are different.' Jīvaka said to the śramaṇa Qijiemi, 'The artisan who built this palace came from Trāyastriṃśa Heaven; once it was completed, he returned to heaven. Beneath the tiles of the roof ridge, there should be one thousand five hundred work tools.' At the time, everyone said that they had previously heard this artisan indeed placed his work tools beneath the tiles. It was also said that after the palace was completed, he was soon killed.
