經律異相 24.33

24.33

眾僧若食竟。當更共語王。答爾。種種欲去。皆以供養。時王語比丘。名一切支。我當施僧十萬金及千銀瑠璃甖。於大眾中說我名供養。阿育王子名鳩那羅。往父邊。畏其父故不敢發言。舉二指示唱道。爾比丘表其修福倍其父相。眾作大笑。王見眾笑。語大臣成護云。汝所作非是故人笑。成護答言。多人欲作福。必欲一倍。阿育答言。我當以三十萬金供養眾僧。以三千甖盛以香水。王又云。大德我今作七寶庫藏。一切大地官人大臣。并以我身及鳩那羅。悉以施僧（出阿育王經第一卷）。

When the monks had finished eating, they were to converse further with the king. The king agreed. Desiring to offer various gifts, he made offerings of them all. At that time, the king said to a monk named Sarvāṅga: 'I shall donate to the Saṅgha one hundred thousand pieces of gold and a thousand jars of silver and lapis lazuli; proclaim my name in the great assembly as making the offering.' Aśoka's son, named Kuṇāla, went to his father's side, and being afraid of his father, did not dare speak; he raised two fingers and called out: 'So be it!' The monk announced that he would perform merits double that of his father. The assembly laughed heartily. Seeing the assembly laugh, the king said to the great minister Radhagupta: 'Because what you did was wrong, the people laugh.' Radhagupta replied: 'When many people wish to create merit, they certainly wish to double it.' Aśoka replied: 'I shall offer three hundred thousand pieces of gold to the monks, and three thousand jars filled with scented water.' The king also said: 'Venerable Ones, I now give the storehouses of the seven treasures, all the officials and ministers of the great earth, along with my own person and Kuṇāla, entirely as a donation to the Saṅgha.'
