又僧伽羅剎經云。昔者菩薩。現為鸚鵡常處于樹。風吹彼樹更相切磨。便有火出。火漸熾盛遂焚一山。鸚鵡思惟。猶如飛鳥。軀止大樹。故當反復起報恩心。何況於我長夜處之。而不滅火。即往詣海。以其兩翅取大海水。至彼火上而灑於火。或以口灑。東西馳奔。時有善神。感其勤苦尋為滅火。

Furthermore, the Saṅgharakṣa-sūtra states: In the past, the Bodhisattva manifested as a parrot, regularly staying in a tree. Wind blew against that tree, causing [its branches] to rub against one another, whereupon fire emerged. The fire gradually grew fierce and ultimately consumed the mountain. The parrot thought: 'Even flying birds that merely rest their bodies in a great tree are bound to reciprocate and give rise to the intention of repaying kindness. How much more so for me, who have stayed in it for long nights—should I not extinguish the fire?' It immediately went to the ocean, took up the water of the great ocean with its two wings, reached the fire, and sprinkled it upon the fire, or sprinkled it with its beak, dashing back and forth from east to west. At that time, a benevolent deity was moved by its strenuous toil and immediately extinguished the fire for it.
