其傍復有小窣堵波,太子以餘寶衣易鹿皮衣處。太子既斷髮易裳,雖去瓔珞,尚有天衣。曰:「斯服太侈,如何改易?」時淨居天化作獵人,服鹿皮衣,持弓負羽。太子舉其衣而謂曰:「欲相貿易,願見允從。」獵人曰:「善。」太子解其上服,授與獵人。獵人得已,還復天身,持所得衣,凌虛而去。
To the east of the stûpa where Chandaka returned is a Jambu tree with leaves and branches fallen off but the trunk still upright. By the side of this is a little stûpa. This is the place where the prince exchanged his precious robe for one made of deerskin. The prince had cut off his hair and exchanged his lower garments, and although he had got rid of his collar of precious stones, yet there was one divine garment (still on his person). "This robe," he said, "is greatly in excess (of my wants); how shall I change it away?" At this time a Suddhavasa-deva transformed himself into a hunter with robes of deerskin, and holding his bow and carrying his quiver. The prince, raising his garment, addressed him thus: "I am desirous to exchange garments with you. Oh, that you would assent." The hunter said "Good!" The prince, loosing his upper garment, gave it to the hunter. The hunter having received it, resumed his Deva body, and holding the garment he had obtained, rose into the air and departed.
