法苑珠林 6.105

6.105

我是龍王子　修道七萬劫
以針刺樹葉　犯戒作龍身
我宮在海水　亦以七寶成
摩尼玻𬎙珠　明月珠金銀
可隨我到彼　觀看修佛事
復益善根本　慈潤悉周遍

‘I am a nāga prince, / who cultivated the Path for seventy thousand kalpas; / because I pricked a tree leaf with a needle, / I broke a precept and took a nāga body. / My palace is in the ocean waters, / likewise formed of the seven precious things: / maṇi, crystal, / bright-moon pearls, gold, and silver. / You may follow me thither / to view it and cultivate Buddhist practices, / further increasing your roots of goodness, / with benevolent moistening pervading all.’
