又依王玄策西國行記云。其王心知繼室姦宄。飲氣而怒。捶加刑繼室所。是時輔佐並流配雪山東北磧鹵不毛之地。摩訶菩提寺聖僧名宴沙。大阿羅漢。王聞高德。携盲子具白前事。垂哀眼明。僧受王請。普告國眾。吾明辰說深法。人持器來。以盛洟淚。是日道俗競馳遠赴。聞說十二因緣時眾悲傷泣血而已。收淚總置金槃。師立誓曰。向所說法其理若當。願以眾淚洗王子目令得復明。理若不當盲目如故。於是將淚洗眼遂平復。時王及子不勝喜慶。時眾咸悅皆稱善哉。聖力乃爾。王子即是拘那羅王。於今塔猶存焉。

Also, according to Wang Xuance's *Xiguo xingzhuan*: When the king came to know the villainy of his secondary wife, he swallowed his anger in fury and subjected her to corporal punishment. At that time, her accomplices and ministers were all banished to the barren and saline wasteland northeast of the Snow Mountains. At the Mahābodhi Temple, there was a holy monk named Yansha (Yaśas), a great arhat. Hearing of his lofty virtue, the king took his blind son and fully reported the preceding events, begging for compassion so that his eyes might see again. Accepting the king's invitation, the monk announced to all the people of the kingdom, “Tomorrow morning I shall expound the profound Dharma; let everyone bring a vessel to hold their tears.” On that day, clerics and laypeople rushed from afar to attend. When they heard him preach the twelve links of dependent origination, the assembly was so overcome with grief that they wept tears of blood. The tears were collected and placed together in a golden basin. The master made a vow, saying, “If the principles of the Dharma just expounded are true, may the eyes of the prince be washed with these tears of the assembly and regain their sight! If the principles are not true, let his eyes remain blind as before.” Thereupon, washing his eyes with the tears, they were completely restored. At that time, the king and his son were overjoyed beyond measure. The assembly was universally delighted and all proclaimed, “Sadhu! Such is holy power!” That prince was King Kuṇāla; his stūpa still stands today.
