9.15
宮城北門外有窣堵波,是提婆達多與未生怨王共為親友,乃放護財醉象,欲害如來。如來指端出五師子,醉象於此馴伏而前。
Outside the north gate of the palace city is a stūpa. Here Devadatta (Ti-p'o-to-lo) and Ajātaśatru-rāja (Wi-sing-yun), having agreed together as friends, liberated the drunken elephant for the purpose of killing Tathāgata. But Tathāgata miraculously caused five lions to proceed from his finger-ends; on this the drunken elephant was subdued and stood still before him.
