說偈已瞥然不見。師曰。將有魔來與吾校力。有頃風雨暴至天地晦冥。師曰。魔之來信矣。吾當除之。即指空中現一大金龍。奮發威神震動山岳。師儼然於坐魔事隨滅。經七日有一小蟲。大若蟭螟潛形坐下。師以手取之示眾曰。斯乃魔之所變。盜聽吾法耳。乃放之令去。魔不能動。師告之曰。汝但歸依三寶即得神通。遂復本形作禮懺悔。師問曰。汝名誰耶。眷屬多少。曰我名迦毘摩羅有三千眷屬。師。曰。汝盡神力變化若何。曰我化巨海極為小事。師曰。汝化性海得否。曰何謂性海。我未嘗知。師即為說性海云。山河大地皆依建立。三昧六通（舊云六神通依正宗記除神字）由茲發現。迦毘摩羅聞言遂發信心與徒眾三千俱求剃度。師乃召五百羅漢與授具戒。復告之曰。如來大法眼藏今當付汝。汝聽偈言。

> Having spoken the verse, she vanished in an instant. The Master said, “A demon is about to come to contest strength with me.” After a short while, wind and rain broke out violently, and heaven and earth turned dark and gloomy. The Master said, “The demon's arrival is true. I must eliminate it.” Pointing into the air, he manifested a great golden dragon whose awesome spiritual power shook the mountains. The Master remained solemn in his seat, and the demonic affairs were extinguished. After seven days, there was a tiny insect, the size of a midge, hiding beneath his seat. The Master took it with his hand, showed it to the assembly, and said, “This is what the demon transformed into, stealing to hear my Dharma.” He then released it to let it go, but the demon could not move. The Master told it, “If you only take refuge in the Three Jewels, you will immediately attain spiritual penetrations.” Thereupon it resumed its original form, bowed, and repented. The Master asked, “What is your name, and how many are your retinue?” It said, “My name is Kapimala, and I have three thousand in my retinue.” The Master said, “Exhausting your spiritual power, what can you transform?” It said, “Transforming a giant ocean is an extremely small matter for me.” The Master said, “Can you transform the nature-ocean?” It said, “What is called the nature-ocean? I have never known it.” The Master then spoke to him of the nature-ocean, saying, “The mountains, rivers, and great earth are all established relying upon it; samādhi and the six penetrations arise from this.” Kapimala, hearing these words, gave rise to faith and, together with his three thousand followers, sought tonsure. The Master then summoned five hundred arhats to confer the full precepts upon them. He further told him, “The Tathāgata's great treasury of the Dharma eye should now be entrusted to you. Listen to my verse:”
