經律異相 19.26

19.26

爾時仙人即便命終。於是童子淨修梵行。獲五神通。釋提桓因。乘白龍象案行世間。誰有孝順父母供養沙門婆羅門。又能布施持戒修梵行者。案行世界時見是仙人童子。天帝念言。若是童子。欲求帝釋梵王皆悉能得。宜應早壞。乃設方便乃扣法鼓。百千天子皆悉來集。帝釋告言。閻浮提中有一仙人童子。名曰鹿斑。有大功德。欲便壞之。時諸天子聞此不樂。便自念言。壞此人者。將減損諸天眾。增益阿修羅。有一天子而唱是言。誰應行者。時有答言。是天女應行。即便召之。應時百千天女皆悉來集。有一天女。名阿藍浮。其髮雜色髮有四色。青黃赤白故名雜色。差此天女往閻浮提。壞鹿斑童子。時彼天女白帝釋言。我自昔已來。數壞人梵行。令失神通。願更遣餘天女端正嚴好令人樂者。時帝釋復於眾中種種說偈勸喻天女。於是天女即壞仙人童子。佛告諸比丘。爾時仙人童子豈異人乎。即今禪難提是。天女阿藍浮者。今此天女是（出僧祇律第一卷）。

At that time, the ṛṣi then passed away. Thereupon the boy purely cultivated the brahma-faring and obtained the five supernormal powers. Śakra Devānām Indra, riding a white dragon-elephant, inspected the world to see who was filial to parents, made offerings to śramaṇas and brāhmaṇas, and was also able to practice giving, uphold the precepts, and cultivate the brahma-faring. Inspecting the world, he saw this ṛṣi boy. The Heavenly King thought, 'If this boy wishes to seek to become Śakra or Brahmā King, he will be able to attain it; I should promptly ruin him.' He then devised an expedient, striking the Dharma drum, and hundreds of thousands of devaputras all assembled. Śakra announced, 'In Jambudvīpa there is a ṛṣi boy named Fawn-Spotted who has great merit; I wish to ruin him.' When the devaputras heard this, they were displeased and thought, 'To ruin this person will diminish the assembly of devas and increase the asuras.' One devaputra proclaimed, 'Who should go?' Then someone answered, 'A deva maiden should go.' They immediately summoned them, and at once hundreds of thousands of deva maidens all assembled. There was a deva maiden named Alambuṣā, whose hair was variegated with four colours: blue, yellow, red, and white, hence the name Variegated. They dispatched this deva maiden to go to Jambudvīpa to ruin the boy Fawn-Spotted. At that time, that deva maiden said to Śakra, 'Since the past, I have frequently ruined men's brahma-faring, causing them to lose their supernormal powers. I pray you dispatch another deva maiden who is upright, dignified, and pleasing to people.' At that time, Śakra again spoke various verses among the assembly to encourage the deva maiden. Thereupon the deva maiden went and ruined the ṛṣi boy. The Buddha told the monks, 'Could that ṛṣi boy at that time be anyone else? He was none other than the present Dhyāna-Nandi. The deva maiden Alambuṣā was this present deva maiden.' (Extracted from the Mahāsāṃghika Vinaya, Fascicle 1).
