2.24

已而尊者往隱於罽賓之象白山。欲以禪寂。自居未幾。會於定中乃見毱多五百弟子慢而不恭。遂往正之。既至會毱多不在。即坐其座。毱多之徒不測其何人。皆憤然不伏。遂馳報毱多。毱多還見其師遽禮之。而其徒慢意尚爾。尊者乃以右手上指。即有香乳自空而注。遂問毱多曰。汝識之乎。曰不測。毱多即入三昧觀之。亦不能曉。乃請之曰。是瑞事果何三昧耶。尊者曰。是謂龍奮迅三昧。如是五百三昧而汝皆未之知。復謂毱多曰。如來三昧辟支不識。辟支三昧羅漢不識。吾師阿難三昧而我不識。今我三昧汝豈識乎。是三昧者。心不生滅。住大慈力。遞相恭敬。其至此者乃可識之。而毱多弟子既見其神奇。皆伏而悔謝。和修復為說偈。而教之曰。

Soon after, the Venerable One went to dwell in seclusion at Mount Xiangbai (White Elephant) in Jibin, wishing to reside by himself in dhyāna serenity. Before long, while in samādhi, he saw that Gupta's five hundred disciples were haughty and disrespectful, so he went to correct them. When he arrived, Gupta happened to be away, so he sat on his seat. Gupta's disciples did not know who he was, and were all indignant and unyielding, racing to inform Gupta. When Gupta returned and saw his master, he hurriedly bowed to him, yet his disciples' haughty minds remained as before. The Venerable One then pointed upward with his right hand, and fragrant milk poured down from the sky. He then asked Gupta, 'Do you recognize this?' Gupta said, 'I cannot fathom it.' Gupta immediately entered samādhi to observe it, but still could not understand it. He then inquired, 'What samādhi is this auspicious sign?' The Venerable One said, 'This is called the dragon-swift samādhi; of the five hundred samādhis such as this, you do not yet know any.' He further said to Gupta, 'The pratyekabuddhas do not know the samādhis of the Tathāgata; the arhats do not know the samādhis of the pratyekabuddhas; I do not know the samādhis of my master Ānanda; how could you know my samādhis now? As for this samādhi, the mind neither arises nor ceases; abiding in the power of great loving-kindness, they revere one another. Only those who attain this can know it.' When Gupta's disciples saw his miraculous power, they all bowed in submission, repented, and apologized. Śāṇavāsa again spoke a verse to instruct them, saying:
