9.11
大山北三四里,有孤山,昔廣博仙人棲隱於此,鑿崖為室,餘趾尚存,傳教門人,遺風猶扇。
South-west of the Yashṭivana about 10 li or so, on the south side of a great mountain, are two warm springs; the water is very hot. In old days, Tathâgata caused this water to appear, and washed himself therein. The pure flow of these waters still lasts without diminution. Men far and near flock here to bathe, after which those who have suffered from disease or chronic affections are often healed. By the side of the springs is a stûpa, to mark the place where Tathâgata walked for exercise. To the south-east of the Yashṭivana about six or seven li we come to a great mountain. Before a cross-ridge of this mountain is a stupa. Here in old days Tathagata explained the law during the three months of rain for the benefit of men and Devas. Then Bimbisara-raja (Pin-pi-so-lo) wished to come to hear the law. He cut away the mountain, and piled up the stones to make steps in order to ascend. The width is about twenty paces and the length 3 or 4 li. To the north of the great mountain 3 or 4 li is a solitary hill. Formerly the Rishi Vyasa (Kwang-po) lived here in solitude. By excavating the side of the mountain he formed a house. Some portions of the foundations are still visible. His disciples still hand down his teaching, and the celebrity of his bequeathed doctrine still remains.
