16.42

The arhat traveled to the country of Mathurā and went to Mount Urumuṇḍa, where he sat upon a rope bed. There were two brother dragon kings, accompanied by a retinue of five hundred. Śāṇavāsa reflected and wished to subdue them. He immediately shook the mountain valleys with his spiritual power. The two dragon kings grew angry and went to Vāsa's place, raising fierce winds, rain, thunder, lightning, weapons, ferocious fire, and the like. At that time, Vāsa entered the samādhi of loving-kindness and was able to cause the wind, rain, fire, and the like not to approach his body, transforming into utpala, kumuda, and puṇḍarīka [lotuses].
