如雜阿含經云。時有異比丘。在拘薩羅國人間止一林中。時彼比丘有眼患。受師教云。應嗅鉢曇摩華。時彼比丘受師教已。往至鉢曇摩池側。於池岸邊逆風而坐。隨風嗅香。時有天神主此池者。語比丘言。何以盜華。汝今便是盜香賊也。

As the Saṃyuktāgama states: At that time there was a certain monk dwelling among men in a forest in the kingdom of Kośala. At that time, this monk suffered from an eye ailment, and received instructions from his master: "You should smell padma flowers." Having received the master's instruction, the monk went to the edge of a padma pool, sat upwind on the pool's bank, and caught the fragrance drifting with the wind. Then a deity presiding over the pool said to the monk, "Why are you stealing the flowers? You are a fragrance-thief!"
