15.12

佛始得道。身色光明相照大千。人民天龍十方菩薩。皆聽說法咸大歡喜。隨其本行皆各得道。佛弟難陀獨不從受。反戾佛教而欲為道。有三十相。將數弟子。著鉢真越衣顏似佛。有諸比丘未得道眼者。遙見難陀便為作禮。佛告難陀。自今以後不得復著真越衣著皂袈裟。所以者何。汝反我戒受比丘禮。當墮泥犁中(出十分譬喻經第四卷)。

When the Buddha had first attained the Way, the radiance of his bodily colors illuminated the great trichiliocosm. Humans, devas, dragons, and the bodhisattvas of the ten directions all listened to the exposition of the Dharma and were filled with great joy; according to their past practices, each attained the Way. The Buddha's younger brother Nanda alone would not receive [the teaching] from him, and went against the Buddha's instructions while wishing to practice the Way. He possessed thirty marks, led several disciples, and wore fine silk robes; his countenance resembled the Buddha's. There were monks who had not yet attained the spiritual eye who, seeing Nanda from afar, bowed in homage to him. The Buddha told Nanda, "From this day forward, you must not wear fine silk robes, but must wear dyed kāṣāya robes. Why is this? Because you have violated my precepts and received the homage of monks, you shall fall into hell." (Drawn from the Sūtra of Tenfold Parables, fascicle 4.)
