經律異相 15.14

15.14

畢陵伽婆蹉在王舍城。日時將至欲行乞食。至一放牧家食。其家女人啼。即問女言。何故啼耶。答言。闍梨。今節會日眾人集戲。我無衣裳獨不得去。時尊者即化作種種衣服珠寶瓔珞金銀校飾。與已便去。眾人見之問言那得。具說因緣。聞達國王。王即喚牛女及比丘來。問尊者。何處得此好金非世所有。比丘即捉杖打壁扣床一切化成黃金。作如是言。首陀羅何處得金此即是也。王言闍梨。有大神足宜各還去（出僧祇律第二十九卷）。

Pilindavatsa was in Rājagṛha. The time approaching, he wished to go on his alms round. He went to a herdsman's house to eat. A woman in that house was weeping. He then asked the woman, "Why are you weeping?" She replied, "Ācārya, today is a festival day, and everyone has gathered to play; I have no clothes, and so I alone cannot go." Then the venerable one magically transformed various garments, jeweled necklaces, and ornaments of gold and silver, and having given them to her, he departed. The people saw her and asked her how she had obtained them, and she fully explained the circumstances. Word reached the king of the country. The king summoned the cowherd's woman and the monk. He asked the venerable one, "Where did you obtain such fine gold, the likes of which does not exist in the world?" The monk took his staff, struck the wall, and knocked on the bed, and everything was transformed into yellow gold. He said, "Where would a śūdra obtain gold? This is it." The king said, "The ācārya has great supernatural powers. Each of you may now return." (Drawn from the Mahāsāṃghika Vinaya, fascicle 29.)
