6.64

復大林中行五百餘里,至婆羅痆(女黠反)斯國(舊曰波羅柰國,訛也。中印度境)。

It is because the religious merit of Devas and men has diminished that this is the case ! " The Brahman then said, " Is it possible that you yourself have ever seen Buddha ? " The Sramana replied, " Have you never heard of Rahula, Buddha's own son? I am he! Because I desire to protect the true law I have not yet entered Nirvana." Having spoken thus he suddenly disappeared. Then the Brahman swept and watered the chamber he had used, and placed there a figure of him, which he reverenced as though he were present. Going 500 li through the great forest we come to the kingdom of P'o-lo-ni-sse (Banaras).
