三寶感應要略錄 1.71

1.71

昔南天竺王子。厭世出家。弘持正法。誦聖無動明王。獨步曠野。明王現其身共為伴。自稱無價馱婆。奉事修行者。猶如世尊弟子給仕世尊。吾肩所繫帛巾。是其表幟也（䭾婆此云奴婢。不用錢貫。名為無價。肩繫巾以為別異。聖無動尊。受他驅役。隨逐行者。如不用錢買奴相似。今自繫巾。表無價奴。自稱言不可謬也）。

Long ago, a prince of South India became weary of the world, left home, and propagated and upheld the True Dharma. He recited [the name and mantra of] Āryācalanātha Vidyārāja and walked alone through the wilderness. The Vidyārāja manifested his body to be his companion, calling himself an invaluable servant who served the practitioner just as the World-Honoured One's disciples served the World-Honoured One: “The silk cloth tied on my shoulder is the insignia of this.” (Tuo-po here means a male or female slave. One obtained without the use of strings of coins is called “invaluable.” A cloth is tied around the shoulder to distinguish them. Āryācalanātha accepts being commanded by others and follows the practitioner, just like a slave bought without money. Now, tying the cloth on himself symbolizes an invaluable slave, and what he said of himself cannot be erroneous.)
