經律異相 12.4

12.4

昔拘樓秦佛時。有一比丘。名曰無垢。處於閑居。國界山窟。去彼不遠。有五神仙。有一女人道遇大雨。入比丘窟雨霽出去。時五仙人見之。各各言曰。比丘姦穢。無垢聞之。即自踊身在于虛空。去地四丈九尺。諸仙見之飛虛空中。各曰。如吾經典所記。染欲塵者則不得飛。便五體投地伏首誣橫。假使比丘不現神變。其五仙王墮大地獄。時無垢比丘。今慈氏菩薩也（出慧上菩薩經上卷）。

In the past, during the time of Kakutsunda Buddha, there was a monk named Wugou who lived in seclusion in a mountain cave within the borders of a kingdom. Not far from him were five immortal ṛṣis. A woman encountered a great downpour on the road, entered the monk's cave, and departed when the rain stopped. At that time, the five ṛṣis saw her, and each said, 'The monk is licentious and defiled.' Hearing this, Wugou immediately leapt into the air, forty-nine feet above the ground. Seeing him flying in the air, the ṛṣis each said, 'According to the records of our scriptures, one who is tainted by the dust of desire cannot fly.' Thereupon, they cast their five limbs to the ground, prostrated themselves, and confessed their false slander. Had the monk not manifested supernatural transformations, the five kings of ṛṣis would have fallen into the great hells. That monk Wugou was the present Bodhisattva Maitreya.
