12.6

過去有佛。名莫能勝。有一比丘。名曰慧王。平旦分衛得百味飯若干種食。路有尊者子。名離垢臂。為乳母所抱。遙見比丘。下乳母抱。尋隨比丘從求飯食。於時比丘與其蜜揣。幼童即食知其甘美。遂隨比丘蜜揣欲盡。比丘復授。轉至佛所。稽首足下。慧王以所得食。授與幼童令其上佛。使發道意。佛尋受之已滿佛鉢。食不減損。次與聲聞八萬四千。菩薩十二億。佛及聖眾。皆悉充飽。如是之供至于七日。飯則如故亦不損減。幼童歡喜說頌讚佛。即發無上正真法意。時其父母求索其子。便詣佛所。幼童問訊偈讚父母。於時幼童。化其父母及五百人。悉令志求無上正真法。即皆棄家而為沙門。行菩薩道自致得佛。時慧王者即是溥首童真也。其離垢臂者吾身是也（出往古造行經）。

In the past, there was a Buddha named Monengsheng. There was a monk named King of Wisdom. At daybreak, while begging for alms, he received food of a hundred flavours and various types of provisions. On the road was the son of an elder, named Vimalabāhu, being carried by a wet-nurse. Seeing the monk from afar, he slipped down from the nurse's embrace, immediately followed the monk, and begged for food from him. At that time, the monk gave him a honey cake. The child ate it and knew it to be sweet and delicious, so he followed the monk. As the honey cake was almost finished, the monk gave him another, and brought him to where the Buddha was, prostrating at the Buddha's feet. The King of Wisdom took the food he had obtained and gave it to the child, having him offer it to the Buddha to cause him to generate the mind of the Way. The Buddha immediately received it, and it filled the Buddha's bowl without diminishing. Next, it was given to eighty-four thousand śrāvakas and one billion two hundred million bodhisattvas. The Buddha and the holy assembly were all fully sated. Such offerings continued for seven days, and the food remained as before, without being depleted. The child rejoiced and spoke verses in praise of the Buddha, immediately giving rise to the unsurpassed, true Dharma-aspiration. At that time, his parents searched for their child, and came to the Buddha's location. The child greeted them and praised his parents in verse. Then the child converted his parents and five hundred people, causing them all to aspire to the unsurpassed, true Dharma. They all abandoned their homes to become śramaṇas, practiced the bodhisattva path, and attained Buddhahood. The King of Wisdom of that time was Mañjuśrī Kumārabhūta; Vimalabāhu was myself.
