9.25
毘布羅山上有窣堵波,昔者如來說法之處。今有露形外道,多依此住,修習苦行,夙夜匪懈,自旦至昏,旋轉觀察。山城北門左,南崖陰,東行二三里,至大石室,昔提婆達多於此入定。
She replied, "Oppressed with a weight of guilt, my wisdom is small indeed; but from this time forth I will bar my house and keep the partition (between it and this chamber). Do you, venerable one, on your part, I pray, repeat no more spiritual formulae." On this the Bhikshu prepared himself in Samādhi, and from that time rested in quiet, none hurting him. On the top of Mount Vipula (Pi-pu-lo) is a stūpa. This is where in old times Tathāgata repeated the law. At the present time naked heretics (Nirgranthas) frequent this place in great numbers; they practise penance night and day without intermission, and from morn till night walk round (the stūpa) and contemplate it with respect. To the left of the northern gate of the mountain city (Girivraja, Shan-shing), going east, on the north side of the southern crag (precipice or cliff), going 2 or 3 li, we come to a great stone house in which Devadatta formerly entered Samādhi. Not far to the east of this stone house, on the top of a flat stone, there are coloured spots like blood. By the side of this rock a stūpa has been built. This is the place where a Bhikshu practising Samādhi wounded himself and obtained the fruit of holiness.
