經律異相 46.7

46.7

毘摩質多者。昔在劫初。諸天入水身生觸樂。精流其中自然成卵。卵生一女其形青黑。入大海中拍水自樂。水精入體即覺有身。乃生一男。九頭頭有千眼口中出火。有九百九十九手八脚。踞于海中食噉淤藍及藕根。取香山乾闥婆神女為妻。容姿美妙色踰白玉。後生一女。端正挺特天地無比。憍尸迦遣使求索。阿修羅言。若能使我乘七寶宮當以相與。帝釋即脫寶冠擬十善報。使阿修羅得坐勝殿。乘六種寶臺而往迎之。置於善法堂上。更為立名曰悅意。諸天輔臣莫不歡喜。後帝釋遊歡喜園。共諸婇女入池遊戲。悅意嫉妬。遣五夜叉還啟其父。父即大瞋。興四種兵往攻帝釋。立大海中踞須彌頂。九百九十九手同時俱作。𢷾喜見城搖動須彌。四大海水一時波浪。釋提桓因驚怖惶恐靡知所趣。時宮有神。白天王言。過去佛說。般若波羅蜜呪王當誦持。鬼兵自碎。時天帝釋於善法殿集眾燒名香發大誓願。般若波羅蜜是大明呪是無上呪是無等等呪審實不虛。我持此法當成佛道。令阿修羅自然退散。作是語時。虛空中有四大刀輪。自然而下當阿修羅。耳鼻手足一時墮落。令大海水赤如絳珠。時阿修羅即大驚怖。遁走無處入藕孔中（出觀佛三昧經第一卷）。

Regarding Vemacitrin: in the past, at the beginning of the kalpa, the gods entered the water and their bodies experienced tactile pleasure; their essence flowed into the water and spontaneously formed an egg. The egg hatched a female whose form was bluish-black. She entered the great ocean, clapping the water for amusement. When the water's essence entered her body, she found herself pregnant, and gave birth to a boy. He had nine heads, each with a thousand eyes; fire came out of his mouths. He had nine hundred and ninety-nine hands and eight feet. Squatting in the ocean, he fed on blue mud and lotus roots. He took a gandharva divine maiden of Mount Gandhamādana as his wife; her appearance was graceful and beautiful, her complexion surpassing white jade. Later she gave birth to a daughter, upright and exceptional, peerless in heaven and earth. Kauśika sent a messenger to seek her. The asura said: "If you can make me ride a seven-jeweled palace, I will give her to you." Śakra then took off his jeweled crown, offering it in recompense for the ten wholesome deeds, enabling the asura to sit in a superior palace; he then rode a six-jeweled terrace to receive her. Placing her in the Sudharmā hall, he gave her the name Delight. None of the heavenly ministers failed to rejoice. Later, when Śakra was touring the Nandana park, he entered the pond to play with the court ladies. Delight was jealous and sent five yakṣas back to inform her father. Her father was furious, and raised the fourfold army to attack Śakra. Standing in the great ocean and squatting on the summit of Sumeru, his nine hundred and ninety-nine hands moved simultaneously; he struck the city of Sudarśana, shook Mount Sumeru, and the waters of the four great oceans surged with waves at once. Śakra Devānām Indra was terrified and alarmed, not knowing where to turn. At that time, a deity in the palace addressed the heavenly king: "The Buddha of the past spoke the King of Dhāraṇīs of the Prajñāpāramitā; you should chant and uphold it, and the ghost army will shatter of itself." Then the heavenly king Śakra gathered the assembly in the Sudharmā hall, burned famous incense, and made a great vow: "The Prajñāpāramitā is the great illuminating mantra, the unexcelled mantra, the unequaled mantra, true, real, and not false. As I uphold this Dharma, I shall attain the Buddha Way; cause the asuras to retreat and disperse of themselves!" When he spoke these words, four great sword-wheels spontaneously descended from the sky directly onto the asura. His ears, nose, hands, and feet fell off all at once, turning the great ocean water red like crimson pearls. The asura was terrified; having nowhere to flee, he entered into a lotus fiber hole (from the Guanfo sanmei jing, fascicle 1).
