經律異相 34.8

34.8

佛詣迦羅越家食。入不閉門。後隨來者一切皆與食令飽滿。弟發惡意。我不聽入。若得自在比丘來時我折其脚。兄弟二人便各別去。皆樹下臥。弟發惡意。有牛驚奔轢折其脚。兄發善意。日西樹蔭故處其上。波斯匿女婿亡。王甚怜愛。為其女呼婆羅門。相覓福人以為女婿。婆羅門出案行見一人臥在於樹下。日西樹蔭故覆。婆羅門言。此是福人。即以白王。王言。那知具其上事。呼來澡洗更著好衣。便嫁女與之（出十卷譬喻經第四卷）。

The Buddha went to the house of a gṛhapati to eat. Upon entering, he did not close the door, and to anyone who followed and came in afterwards, he gave food to make them all fully satisfied. The younger brother conceived an evil thought: "I will not allow them to enter! If I am ever free to do so, when a bhikṣu comes, I will break his legs." The two brothers then parted ways, and both went to lie beneath trees. Because the younger brother had conceived an evil thought, a startled ox galloped by, ran him over, and broke his legs. Because the elder brother had conceived a wholesome thought, as the sun moved west, the shade of the tree remained over him as before. King Prasenajit's son-in-law died, and the king loved his daughter dearly; for her sake he summoned a brāhmaṇa to look for a man of merit to be his son-in-law. The brāhmaṇa went out to inspect and saw a man lying beneath a tree, and as the sun moved west, the tree shade still covered him. The brāhmaṇa said, "This is a man of merit," and immediately reported it to the king. The king said, "How do you know?" [The brāhmaṇa] related the above matter in full. [The king] summoned him, washed him, dressed him in fine clothes, and gave his daughter in marriage to him. (Extracted from Fascicle 4 of the *Ten-Fascicle Avadāna Sūtra*)
