經律異相 11.18

11.18

一蛇稱頌忍。一蛇敬受遂不害虺。一蛇曰。吾等還海。相然俱去。則奮其威神。震天動地。興雲降雨。人鬼咸驚。虺乃惶怖。尸視無知。七日絕食欲害。蚖龍阿難是。說忍龍吾身是也。含毒虺者調達是（出度無極集第五卷）。

One snake praised forbearance, and the other snake respectfully accepted it and ultimately did not harm the viper. One snake said, 'Let us return to the ocean.' Agreeing with one another, they departed together. Thereupon they displayed their awe-inspiring spiritual power, shaking heaven and moving the earth, raising clouds and causing rain to fall, so that humans and ghosts were all alarmed. The viper was terrified, staring like a corpse without consciousness, and starved for seven days wishing to harm them. The dragon [who wished to retaliate] was Ānanda; the dragon who spoke of forbearance was my own self; and the venomous viper was Devadatta. (Extracted from Fascicle 5 of the Liudu ji jing)
