經律異相 3.60

3.60

The bright-moon maṇi jewel is mostly found in the brains of dragons. If sentient beings have merit, they obtain it spontaneously, just as in the hells implements for punishing guilt arise spontaneously. This jewel is also named the wish-fulfilling jewel; it constantly produces all precious objects, clothing, food, and drink according to one's desires. One who obtains this jewel cannot be harmed by poison or burned by fire. Alternatively, it is said that it was held by Śakra, and when he fought with the asuras, it shattered and fell onto Jambudvīpa. It is also said that when the Dharma of the relics of Buddhas of the distant past had completely perished, they transformed into this jewel to bring benefit (from the fifty-ninth fascicle of the *Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa*).
