大唐西域記 3.7

3.7

阿波邏羅龍泉西南三十餘里，水北岸大磐石上，有如來足所履迹，隨人福力，量有短長，是如來伏此龍已，留迹而去。後人於上積石為室，遐邇相趨，花香供養。順流而下三十餘里，至如來濯衣石，袈裟之文煥焉如鏤。

At this time, Sâkya Tathâgata, of his great pity guiding the world, was moved with compassion for the people of this country, who were so singularly afflicted with this calamity. Descending therefore spiritually, he came to this place, desiring to convert the violent dragon. Taking the mace of the Vajrapâni spirit, he beat against the mountain side. The dragon king, terrified, came forth and paid him reverence. Hearing the preaching of the law by Buddha, his heart became pure and his faith was awakened. Tathâgata forthwith forbad him to injure the crops of the husbandmen. Whereupon the dragon said, "All my sustenance comes from the fields of men; but now, grateful for the sacred instructions I have received, I fear it will be difficult to support myself in this way; yet pray let me have one gathering in every twelve years." Tathagata compassionately permitted this. Therefore every twelfth year there is a calamity from the overflowing of the White River. To the south-west of the fountain of the dragon Apalala ('O-po-lo-lo), about 30 li on the north side of the river, there is a foot trace of Buddha on a great rock. According to the religious merit of persons, this impression appears long or short. This is the trace left by Buddha after having subdued the dragon. Afterwards men built up a stone residence (over the impression). Men come here from a distance to offer incense and flowers.

Following the stream downwards 30 li or so, we come to the stone where Tathagata washed his robe. The tissues of the kashaya stuff are yet visible as if engraved on the rock. To the south of the town of Mungali 400 li or so we come to Mount Hila (Hi-lo). The water flowing through the valley here turns to the west, and then flowing again eastward remounts (towards its source). Various fruits and flowers skirt the banks of the stream and face the sides of the mountains. There are high crags and deep caverns, and placid streams winding through the valleys: sometimes are heard the sounds of people's voices, sometimes the reverberation of musical notes. There are, moreover, square stones here like long narrow bedsteads, perfected as if by the hand of men; they stretch in continuous lines from the mountain side down the valley. It was here Tathagata dwelling in old days, by listening to half a Gâthâ of the law was content to kill himself.
