大唐西域記 9.49

9.49

伽藍西南行八九里，至拘理迦邑，中有窣堵波，無憂王之所建也，是尊者沒特伽羅子本生故里。傍有窣堵波，尊者於此入無餘涅槃，其中則有遺身舍利。尊者，大婆羅門種，與舍利子少為親友。舍利子以才明見貴，尊者以精鑒延譽，才智相比，動止必俱，結要終始，契同去就，相與厭俗，共求捨家，遂師珊闍耶焉。舍利子遇馬勝阿羅漢，聞法悟聖，還為尊者重述，聞而悟法，遂證初果。與其徒二百五十人俱到佛所，世尊遙見，指告眾曰：「彼來者，我弟子中神足第一。」既至佛所，請入法中。世尊告曰：「善來，比丘，淨修梵行，得離苦際。」聞是語時，鬚髮落，俗裳變，戒品淨，威儀調順。經七日，結漏盡，證羅漢果，得神通力。

On returning he repeated what he had heard for the sake of the venerable (Mudgalaputra). On this he understood the meaning of the law and reached the first fruit. Then with 250 followers he went to the place where Buddha was. The Lord of the World, seeing him at a distance, pointing him out, said to his disciples, "That one coming here will be the first among my followers in the exercise of spiritual faculties (miraculous powers)." Having reached the place where Buddha was, he requested to enter the law (the society). The Lord replying, said, "Welcome, O Bhikshu; carefully practise a pure life, and you shall escape the limits of sorrow." Hearing this his hair fell off, and his common robes were changed into others. Observing in their purity the sections of the rules of moral discipline, and being in his exterior behaviour faultless, after seven days, getting rid of all the bonds of sin, he reached the condition of an Arhat and the supernatural powers.

Within the southern gate of the wall is a large well. Formerly, when Buddha was alive, a great company of merchants parched with thirst came here to the spot where Buddha was. The Lord of the World, pointing to this place, said, "You will find water there." The chief of the merchants, piercing the earth with the end of the axle of his cart, immediately water rushed out from the ground. Having drunk and heard the law, they all obtained the fruit of holiness. Going south-west 8 or 9 li from the sanghārāma, we come to the village of Kulika (Kiu-li-kia). In it is a stūpa built by Aśōka-rāja. This is where the venerable Mudgalaputra (Mo-te-kia-lo-tseu) was born. By the side of the village is a stupa. This is where the Venerable One reached complete Nirvāna, and in it are placed the remains of his bequeathed body. The venerable (Mahāmudgalaputra) was of a great Brāhman family, and was an intimate friend of Śāriputra when they were young. This Śāriputra was renowned for the clearness of his dialectic skill; the other for his persevering and deep penetration. Their gifts and wisdom were alike, and moving or standing they were always together. Their aims and desires from beginning to end were just the same. They had together left the world from distaste to its pleasures, and as hermits had followed Sañjaya (Shen-she-ye) as their master. Śāriputra having met Aśvajita (Ma-shing) the Arhat, hearing the law, understood its holy (meaning).
