### [16.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2121.16.10)

是比丘謂是舍那婆私言。舍那婆私語言。汝所說義非我所說。長老。過去世波羅奈有一商主。與五百估客欲入大海。見一辟支佛病。商主親自醫療。病稍得差。商主取舍那衣浣治令軟施辟支佛。辟支受衣作十八變即入涅槃。時商主者我身是也。是故我今值最勝師。令我得道。舍那婆私漸行至摩偷羅國優流漫陀山。有二龍王兄弟與五百小龍。舍那婆私思惟。我不伏之不得教化。即以神力動山。二龍王瞋。起疾風雨。及以出火。舍那婆私入慈三昧。風雨及火不能近身。悉變為花。所謂優鉢羅花等。悉皆墮地。復起雷電及諸器仗。亦以神力變為天花。即時空中而說偈曰。

There were two dragon king brothers and five hundred small dragons. Śāṇakavāsin reflected, “If I do not subdue them, I cannot teach and transform them.” He immediately shook the mountain with his divine power. The two dragon kings grew angry, raising violent wind and rain, and sending forth fire. Śāṇakavāsin entered the samādhi of loving-kindness, so the wind, rain, and fire could not approach his body, and all transformed into flowers—the so-called utpala flowers and the like—all falling to the ground. They again raised thunder, lightning, and various weapons, which through divine power also transformed into heavenly flowers. Thereupon, a verse was spoken in the air:
