又十誦律云。佛在舍衛國。時有長老迦留陀夷得阿羅漢道。持鉢入城乞食。到一婆羅門舍。主人不在。婦閉門作煎餅。迦留陀夷比丘。即入禪定起通。從外地沒涌出中庭。乃以指彈。婦即迴顧作是念言。此沙門從何處入。此必貪餅故來。我終不與。即語夷言。縱使眼脫我亦不與。而以神力即兩眼脫出。復念縱出眼如盌。我亦不與即變眼如盌。復念縱若倒立我前。我亦不與。即於前倒立。復念縱汝若死。我亦不與。即入滅受想定。心想皆滅無所覺知。時婆羅門婦牽挽不動。即大驚悑念。是沙門常游波斯匿王宮末利夫人之師。若聞在我家死者。我等大衰。即語比丘言。汝若活者我求與一餅。迦留陀夷便出於定。婦即看餅。先煎好者意惜不與。更刮盆邊得一小麵。煎之轉勝。以先者與。適舉一餅餘皆相著。迦留語言。姊與我幾許。舉四餅欲持與之。迦留語言。我不須是餅。可與祇桓中僧。是婦先世已種善根。即自思惟。是比丘實不貪餅。但愍我故而來乞耳。即持餅筐。詣祇桓中施眾僧竟。在迦留前坐。迦留陀夷觀其因緣為說妙法。即於座上得法眼淨。作優婆夷。返舍報夫。夫聞即詣迦留陀夷所。迦留陀夷為說妙法得法眼淨。作優婆塞。常盡財力供養闍梨。乃至身死猶命子供養令後不斷。

Furthermore, the Sarvāstivāda-vinaya (Shisong lü) states: The Buddha was in the country of Śrāvastī. At that time, the elder Kālodāyin had attained the path of the arhat. Holding his bowl, he entered the city to beg for food. He arrived at the house of a certain brahman. The master of the house was not at home, and his wife had closed the gate to fry cakes. The bhikṣu Kālodāyin thereupon entered meditative absorption and manifested supernatural powers: disappearing into the earth from outside, he welled forth into the courtyard. He then snapped his fingers. The wife looked back and thought to herself: 'Where did this śramaṇa come from? He surely must have come because of a craving for cakes. I definitely will not give him any.' She then said to Udāyin: 'Even if your eyes fall out, I will still not give you any.' Thereupon, by his supernatural power, both his eyes immediately fell out. She thought again: 'Even if your eyes pop out as big as bowls, I will still not give you any.' His eyes immediately transformed to be as big as bowls. She thought again: 'Even if you stand upside down in front of me, I will still not give you any.' He immediately stood upside down in front of her. She thought again: 'Even if you die, I will still not give you any.' He immediately entered the absorption of the cessation of feeling and ideation (nirodha-samāpatti): his mental representations were entirely extinguished, and he was devoid of awareness. The brahman's wife tugged and pulled him, but could not move him. She was seized with great terror and thought: 'This śramaṇa often visits the palace of King Prasenajit and is the master of Queen Mallikā. If it is heard that he died in my house, we will suffer great disaster.' She then said to the bhikṣu: 'If you revive, I will give you a cake.' Kālodāyin thereupon emerged from absorption. The wife looked at the cakes: begrudging the well-fried ones made earlier, she would not give them. Scraping the edge of the basin, she obtained a small piece of dough; when she fried it, it turned out even better. Deciding to give him the earlier one instead, just as she lifted one cake, all the others stuck to it. Kālodāyin said to her: 'Sister, how many are you giving me?' She lifted four cakes intending to give them to him. Kālodāyin said to her: 'I do not need these cakes. You may give them to the saṃgha in Jetavana.' This woman had already planted good roots in past lives. She reflected to herself: 'This bhikṣu is truly not greedy for cakes; he has only come begging out of pity for me.' She then took the basket of cakes, went to Jetavana, and made the offering to the community of monks. Having done so, she sat before Kālodāyin. Kālodāyin, observing her causes and conditions, expounded the wondrous Dharma for her. Right on her seat, she attained the purity of the Dharma-eye and became an upāsikā. Returning home, she told her husband. Upon hearing it, the husband went to Kālodāyin. Kālodāyin expounded the wondrous Dharma for him, and he attained the purity of the Dharma-eye, becoming an upāsaka. He constantly exhausted his wealth and strength to make offerings to his ācārya, and even upon his death, he instructed his son to continue the offerings without interruption.
