45.40

辟支佛至長者舍乞食。夫人見其形相端正。語辟支佛。若隨我情當設供養。辟支佛言。不得。如夫人所請既不從心。即懷慚忿發遣令去。長者青衣嫌夫人言。何故告人不當之事。取己食分與辟支佛。食竟還房寢息乃覺。垢黑之皮自然脫落。顏容端正殊絕人中。如天玉女。長者驚怪問其本末。即拜為第一夫人（出雜譬喻經第一卷）。

A pratyekabuddha went to an elder's house to beg for food. The wife saw that his appearance was handsome and upright, and said to the pratyekabuddha: "If you comply with my desire, I will make an offering to you." The pratyekabuddha said: "It cannot be done." As the wife's request was not granted according to her wish, she harbored shame and anger, and dismissed him to make him leave. The elder's maidservant disliked the wife's words, thinking: "Why did she propose improper matters to someone?" She took her own portion of food and gave it to the pratyekabuddha. Having eaten, he returned. She went back to her room to sleep and rest, and upon awakening, her dirty, black skin naturally peeled away. Her facial appearance became handsome and upright, far surpassing ordinary humans, like a heavenly jade maiden. The elder was astonished and asked about its origin, and immediately appointed her as his primary wife (from the Za piyu jing, fascicle 1).
