經律異相 47.109

47.109

獵者具以聞王。國人咸知。普感慈信。狩之仁行有踰於義。莫不肅嘆。為止殺獵。鹿還鳴群嘯侶遊集各寧其所。佛言。時鹿者我身是。二子者羅云朱利母是也。時國王者舍利弗是。射獵者阿難是（出鹿子經）。

The hunter reported all this in detail to the king. All the people of the state learned of it and were universally moved by this compassion and faithfulness. A beast's benevolent deeds surpassed righteousness itself, and there was none who did not venerate it with sighs. Because of this, hunting and killing were brought to an end. The deer returned, calling its herd and whistling to its companions, roaming and gathering, each resting peacefully in its place. The Buddha said, "The deer of that time was myself. The two fawns were Rāhula and Cūḍapanthaka. The king of that state was Śāriputra. The hunter who shot was Ānanda" (Extracted from the Luzi jing).
