經律異相 9.12

9.12

樹提摩納。在寶藏佛前。右膝著地長跪叉手。前白佛言。世尊。我今發無上菩提心成就善根。於三乘法若我所願得己利者。令我兩手自然而出白色龍象。佛神力故其兩手中即出龍象。其色純白七處到地。見是事已告言。龍象汝等。今者可昇虛空去此。不遠遍雨此界八德香水。覺悟此界一切眾生。若有眾生得遇一渧。聞其香氣悉斷五蓋。所謂婬欲瞋恚睡眠掉戲疑。是時龍象在虛空中。周遊速疾猶如力士善射放箭。是二龍象所作諸事悉成就已。復還來至摩納前住。時樹提見之心大歡喜（出樹提摩納發菩提誓願經）。

The brahmacārin Jyotis knelt upright before Ratnagarbha Buddha with his right knee on the ground and his palms joined, and stepping forward, he said to the Buddha: "Bhagavat, I have now brought forth the mind of unexcelled awakening and developed wholesome roots. In the Dharma of the three vehicles, if my aspirations are to bring benefit to myself, let white nāga-elephants spontaneously emerge from my two hands." By the Buddha's spiritual power, nāga-elephants immediately emerged from his two hands; their color was pure white, and seven parts of their bodies touched the ground. Having seen this, he addressed them, saying: "Nāga-elephants, you should now ascend into empty space not far from here and rain the fragrant water of eight virtues everywhere over this world to awaken all sentient beings in this world. If any sentient beings encounter a single drop or smell its fragrance, they will completely sever the five hindrances—namely, lust, anger, drowsiness, restlessness, and doubt." At that time, the nāga-elephants were in empty space, traveling all around as swiftly as a strong archer shooting an arrow. After these two nāga-elephants had accomplished all these tasks, they returned and stood before the brahmacārin. At that time, Jyotis saw this and his heart greatly rejoiced.
