目支隣陀龍池南窣堵波,迦葉波救如來溺水處也。迦葉兄弟時推神通,遠近仰德,黎庶歸心。世尊方導迷徒,大權攝化,興布密雲,降澍暴雨,周佛所居,令獨無水。迦葉是時見此雲雨,謂門人曰:「沙門住處將不漂溺?」泛舟來救,乃見世尊履水如地,蹈河中流,水分沙現。迦葉見已,心伏而退。
To the south of the tank of Muchilinda Naga is a stupa. This indicates the spot where Kasyapa went to save Buddha during an inundation. The Kasyapa brothers still opposing the divine method, all who lived far off or near reverenced their virtue, and submitted themselves to their teaching. The Lord of the World, in his character as guide of those in error, being very intent on their conversion, raised and spread abroad the thick clouds and caused the torrents to fall. The fierce waves surrounded the place where Buddha dwelt; but he alone was free from the flood. At this time Kasyapa, seeing the clouds and rain, calling his disciples, said, "The place where the Shaman dwells must be engulfed in the tide!" Embarking in a boat to go to his deliverance, he saw the Lord of the World walking on the water as on land; and as he advanced down the stream, the waters divided and left the ground visible. Kasyapa having seen (the miracle), his heart was subdued, and he returned.
