宋高僧傳 21.28

21.28

又鄧州有僧亡名，年且衰朽，遊行穰、鄧州間，日食二雉鳩，僧俗共非之。老僧終無避迴。嘗饌羞之次，有貧士求飡，分其二足與之食。食訖，老僧盥漱，雙鳩從口而出，一則能行，一則匍匐在地。貧士驚怪，亦吐其飯，其鳩二足復全。其僧實不食此禽。自爾眾人崇重，號曰南陽鴙鳩和尚也。有歎之曰：「昔青城山香闍黎飲酒啖肴，然後吐出，鷄羊肉皆化作本形，飛鳴而入坑穴中，同也。」

Furthermore, in Dengzhou there was an anonymous monk who was advanced in years and frail. He wandered between Rangzhou and Dengzhou, eating two pigeons each day; both clergy and laity condemned him for this. The old monk never shunned or avoided them. Once, while dining on the delicacies, a poor scholar came begging for food; the monk divided the two feet of the bird and gave them to him to eat. When they finished eating, the old monk rinsed his mouth, and a pair of pigeons flew out of his mouth: one could walk, while the other crawled on the ground. The poor scholar was terrified and astounded, and he also vomited up his food; the pigeon's two feet became whole again. In truth, the monk did not eat these birds. From then on, the multitude revered him and called him the Pigeon Upādhyāya of Nanyang. Someone praised him, saying, "In the past, Master Xiang of Mount Qingcheng drank wine and ate meat, and then vomited them out; the chicken and lamb meat all turned back into their original forms, flying and crying as they entered their caves and pits—it is just the same as this."
