如出曜經云。昔舍衛城中有一婦女。抱兒持瓶詣井汲水。有一男子顏貌端正。坐井右邊（亦有經云見阿難行美顏貪愛求為夫婦事在別經）彈琴自娛。時彼女人欲意偏多耽著彼人。彼人亦復欲意熾盛耽著女人。女人欲意迷荒以索繫小兒頸懸於井中。尋還挽出。小兒即死。愁憂傷結呼天墮淚（自外云云）又佛在拘睒彌國。國王號曰優填。拘留國有逝心。名摩因提。生女端正華色世間少雙。父覩女容一國希有。名曰無比。隣國諸王僚寀豪姓靡不娉焉。父答曰。若有君子容與吾女齊。吾將應之。佛時行在其國。逝心覩佛三十二相八十種好。身色紫金巍巍堂堂光儀無上。心喜而曰。吾女獲匹。正是斯人。歸語其妻曰。吾為無比得婿。促莊飾女當將往也。夫妻共服飾之。其女行步搖動華光珠。珍。瓔珞莊嚴光國。夫妻俱將至佛。妻道見佛跡相好之文。光采之色非世所有。知為天尊謂其夫曰。此人足跡之理。乃爾非世可聞。斯將非凡。必自清淨無復婬欲。將不取吾無自辱也。夫曰。何以知其然耶。妻因說偈言。

As stated in the Udānavarga: In the past, in the city of Śrāvastī, there was a woman carrying her child and holding a pitcher who went to a well to draw water. There was a man of handsome appearance sitting by the right side of the well playing a lute for his own amusement (another sūtra also says: seeing Ānanda walking with a handsome countenance, she greedily fell in love and sought to become his wife; the matter is in another sūtra). At that time, that woman was driven by excessive lust and became infatuated with that man. That man also had blazing lust and became infatuated with the woman. The woman, frantic with lust, bound the child's neck with a rope and suspended him in the well. She promptly pulled him out again, but the child had died immediately. Knotted with grief and sorrow, she cried out to heaven and wept (and so forth). Furthermore, when the Buddha was in the kingdom of Kauśāmbī, the king was named Udayana. In the kingdom of Kuru, there was a parivrājaka named Māgandika, who had a daughter whose beauty and floral radiance had few equals in the world. The father, seeing his daughter's appearance to be rare in the realm, named her Matchless (Wubi). The rulers, ministers, and prominent clans of neighbouring countries all wished to betroth her. The father replied, 'If there is a gentleman whose appearance equals that of my daughter, I shall accept him.' At that time, the Buddha was traveling in his kingdom. The parivrājaka beheld the Buddha's thirty-two marks and eighty secondary signs, his body the colour of purple-gold, majestic and grand, with unequalled radiance and deportment. Joyful at heart, he said, 'My daughter has found her match; it is truly this man!' Returning, he told his wife, 'I have found a husband for Matchless! Make haste to adorn our daughter; I shall take her there.' Husband and wife adorned her together. As the daughter walked, she swayed with floral brilliance, pearls, gems, and necklaces, illuminating the kingdom. Husband and wife together brought her to the Buddha. Along the way, the wife saw the marks, signs, and lines of the Buddha's footprints, whose radiant colours were not of this world. Knowing him to be the Lord of Heaven, she said to her husband, 'The patterns of this man's footprints are such as have never been heard of in the world. He must not be an ordinary man; he is certainly pure in himself and free from sensual desire. He will not accept us; do not bring disgrace upon yourself.' The husband said, 'How do you know that?' The wife then spoke a verse:
