2.32

有一天女。坐一蓮花上縱廣百由旬。此花獨妙殊於餘者。所欲資生之具隨念皆從花出。進止隨身。目連問言。作何善行受報如此。天女答言。迦葉佛滅度後。遺全身舍利。與佛諸弟子建七寶塔。高廣四十里。時我作女人出見寶塔中像。信敬情發念佛功德。脫頭上花奉獻於像(出雜藏經)。

There was a devī who sat upon a lotus flower one hundred yojanas in extent. This flower was uniquely wonderful, excelling all others; whatever requisites of life she desired issued from the flower according to her thought, accompanying her as she moved or halted. Maudgalyāyana asked: ‘What wholesome deeds did you perform to receive such a retribution?’ The devī answered: ‘After Kāśyapa Buddha entered nirvāṇa, he left behind his whole-body śarīra. Together with the disciples of the Buddha, I erected a seven-jeweled stūpa forty li in height and breadth. At that time, being a woman, I came out and saw the image inside the jeweled stūpa; faith and reverence arose, and recalling the Buddha's merit, I took off the flower on my head and offered it to the image.’ (Drawn from the Zazang jing)
