宋高僧傳 2.9

2.9

He arrived in the kingdom of Kaśmīra. Toward dusk, he halted by a river where there was no bridge, and he crossed by floating through the air. One day, he accepted an invitation to the house of an elder, when suddenly an arhat descended and said: "I am an adherent of the Hīnayāna; the Venerable is a bodhisattva who has ascended the stages." He then yielded his seat and offered deferential praise. Śubhakarasiṃha bestowed fine robes upon him, and he ascended into the air and departed. Śubhakarasiṃha next arrived in the kingdom of Uḍḍiyāna, where a tame white mouse circled him, daily offering gold coins. He expounded Vairocana in the court of the Turks and entered dhyāna beneath the tree of the Khatun, the Dharma appearing as golden characters arranged in midair. At that time, a Turkish palace woman pressed her breast with her hand, and the milk flowed forth in three streams flying into Śubhakarasiṃha's mouth. Śubhakarasiṃha then joined his palms, maintained a composed expression, and said: "She was my mother in a past life."
