經律異相 49.40

49.40

二大金剛山間。有大風起名為僧佉。若使風來至四天下及八萬天下。大地諸山去地十里。或至百里飛颺空中皆悉糜碎。如壯士手把輕糠散於空中。由二大山遮止此風。若使風至四天下者。其中眾生溪河江海皆當焦枯。又山間風臭處不淨腥穢酷烈。若使來至四天下者。燻諸眾生皆當失目。又此二山多所饒益。亦是眾生行報所致。

Between the two great Vajra mountains, there arises a great wind named Saṅkha. If this wind were to reach the four continents and the eighty thousand continents, all the mountains of the great earth, ten li or up to a hundred li above the ground, would be blown into the sky and completely pulverized, like chaff scattered in the air by the hand of a strongman. It is because the two great mountains block this wind [that the world survives]. If this wind were to reach the four continents, the sentient beings, streams, rivers, and oceans therein would all be scorched and dried up. Moreover, the wind between the mountains smells intensely foul, impure, fishy, and putrid; if it were to reach the four continents, its stench would blind all sentient beings. Furthermore, these two mountains provide great benefit, which is also brought about by the karmic retribution of sentient beings' deeds.
