大唐西域記 6.22

6.22

伽藍西北三四里，至得眼林。有如來經行之迹，諸聖習定之所，並樹封記，建窣堵波。昔此國群盜五百，橫行邑里，跋扈城國。勝軍王捕獲已，抉去其眼，棄於深林。群盜苦逼，求哀稱佛。是時如來在逝多精舍，聞悲聲，起慈心，清風和暢，吹雪山藥，滿其眼已，尋得復明。而見世尊在其前住，發菩提心，歡喜頂禮，投杖而去，因植根焉。

By the side of the stupa commemorating the slaughter of the Sakyas, and not far from it, is a great lake which has dried up. This is where Virudhaka-raja went down bodily into hell. The world-honoured one having seen the Sakya maidens, went back to the Jetavana, and there told the Bhikshus, "Now is King Virudhaka's end come; after seven days' interval a fire will come forth to burn up the king." The king hearing the prediction, was very frightened and alarmed. On the seventh day he was rejoiced that no harm had come, and in order to gratify himself he ordered the women of his palace to go to the lake, and there he sported with them on its shores, strolling here and there with music and drinking. Still, however, he feared lest fire should burst out. Suddenly, whilst he was on the pure waters of the lake, the waves divided, and flames burst forth and consumed the little boat in which he was, and the king himself went down bodily into the lowest hell, there to suffer torments. To the north-west of the sangharama 3 or 4 li, we come to the forest of Obtaining-Sight (Aptanetravana ?) where are vestiges of Tathagata, who walked here for exercise, and the place where various holy persons have engaged in profound meditation. In all these places they have erected posts with inscriptions or else stupas.

Formerly there was in this country a band of 500 robbers, who roamed about through the towns and villages and pillaged the border of the country. Prasenajita-raja having seized them all, caused their eyes to be put out and abandoned them in the midst of a dark forest. The robbers, racked with pain, sought compassion as they invoked Buddha. At this time Tathagata was in the vihara of the Jetavana, and hearing their piteous cries (i.e., by his spiritual power), he was moved to compassion, and caused a soft wind to blow gently from the Snowy Mountains, and bring with it some medicinal (leaves?) which filled up the cavity of their eye-sockets. They immediately recovered their sight, and lo ! the Lord of the World was standing before them. Arriving at the heart of wisdom, they rejoiced and worshipped. Fixing their walking-staves in the ground, they departed. This was how they took root and grew. To the north-west of the capital 16 li or so, there is an old town. In the Bhadra-kalpa when men lived to 20,000 years, this was the town in which Kasyapa Buddha was born. To the south of the town there is a stupa. This is the place where he first met his father after arriving at enlightenment. To the north of the town is a stupa, which contains relics of the entire body of Kasyapa Buddha. Both these were built by Asoka-raja. From this point going south-east 500 li or so, we come to the country of Kie-pi-lo-fa-sse-ti (Kapilavastu).
