經律異相 48.8

48.8

金翅鳥王。名曰正音。於眾羽族快樂自在。於閻浮提日食一龍王及五百小龍。於四天下更食。一日數亦如上。周而復始。經八千歲死相既現。諸龍吐毒不能得食。飢逼慞惶永不得安。至金剛山。從金剛山直下從大水際。至風輪際為風所吹還金剛山。如是七反然後命終。以其毒故令十寶山同時火起。難陀龍王懼燒此山。即降大雨渧如車輪。鳥肉消盡唯餘心存。心又直下七反如前住金剛山。難陀龍王取為明珠。轉輪聖王得為如意珠。若人念佛心亦如是（出觀佛三昧經第一卷）。

There was a garuḍa king named Zhengyin (Right Sound). Among all winged creatures, he enjoyed bliss and mastery. In Jambudvīpa, he ate one nāga king and five hundred small nāgas each day. In the other three continents, he also ate them, the daily number being as above, cycling round and round. After eight thousand years, the portents of death appeared: the nāgas spewed venom so that he could not feed; pressed by hunger, he was terrified and could find no peace. He went to the Mount of Adamantine; from the Mount of Adamantine he plummeted directly down to the edge of the great waters, and reaching the edge of the wind-wheel, he was blown by the wind back to the Mount of Adamantine. Seven times in this manner he plunged, and then he died. Because of his venom, fire broke out simultaneously on the ten jewelled mountains. Nāga King Nanda, fearing the burning of these mountains, immediately sent down heavy rain with drops as large as chariot wheels. The bird's flesh melted completely, leaving only its heart. The heart also plummeted directly down seven times as before, and rested on the Mount of Adamantine. Nāga King Nanda took it as a radiant pearl; a wheel-turning sage king obtained it as a wish-fulfilling pearl. If a person is mindful of the Buddha, their mind is likewise (taken from the Guan Fo sanmei jing, Fascicle 1).
