又出曜經云。昔舍衛城中。有一婦女。抱兒持瓶詣井汲水。有一男子。顏貌端正。坐井右邊彈琴自娛。時彼女人。欲意偏多耽著彼人。彼人亦復欲意熾盛。耽著女人。女人欲意迷荒。以索繫小兒頸懸於井中。尋還挽出小兒即死。愁憂傷結呼天墮淚（自外云云）又佛在拘睒彌國。國王號曰優填拘留。國有逝心。名摩因提。生女端正華色。世間少雙。父覩女容一國希有。名曰無比。隣國諸王。群僚豪姓。靡不娉焉。父答曰。若有君子容與吾女齊。吾將應之。佛時行在其國。逝心覩佛。三十二相八十種好。身色紫金巍巍堂堂。光儀無上。心喜而曰。吾女獲匹。正是斯人。歸語其妻曰。吾為無比得婿。促莊飾女當將往也。夫妻共服飾之。其女行步搖動華光。珠琦瓔珞莊嚴光國。夫妻俱將至佛所。妻道見佛跡相好之文。光采之色非世所有。知為天尊。謂其夫曰。此人足跡之理乃爾。非世可聞。斯將非凡。必自清淨無復婬欲。將不取吾女。無自辱也。夫曰。何以知其然耶。妻自說偈言。

Furthermore, the Avadāna-sūtra says: In the past, in the city of Śrāvastī, there was a woman who held her child and carried a jar to the well to draw water. There was a man of handsome appearance sitting to the right of the well, playing a lute for his own amusement. At that time, that woman had great lustful intent and was deeply attached to that man; that man also had blazing lustful intent and was deeply attached to the woman. Delirious with lustful intent, the woman tied the small child's neck with a rope and suspended him in the well. Immediately she pulled him back out, but the small child was already dead. Stricken with sorrow and grief, she cried out to Heaven and wept. (The rest is as recounted elsewhere.) Furthermore, when the Buddha was in the country of Kauśāmbī, the king of the country was named Udayana. In that country was an ascetic named Māgandiya, who fathered a daughter of upright and radiant appearance, rare in the world. Seeing that his daughter's appearance was rare in the entire country, the father named her Matchless (Anupamā). The kings of neighbouring states, along with officials and noble clans, all sought to marry her. The father replied, 'If there is a gentleman whose appearance equals that of my daughter, I will accept him.' At that time, the Buddha was traveling in that country. The ascetic beheld the Buddha's thirty-two marks and eighty minor signs, his body of purple-gold, majestic and imposing, his radiant demeanor unsurpassed. His heart rejoiced, and he said, 'My daughter has found her match—it is precisely this man!' He returned and said to his wife, 'I have found a husband for Matchless. Quickly dress and adorn the girl; we must take her there.' Husband and wife adorned her together; as the girl walked, she swayed with floral brilliance, her pearls, gems, and necklaces embellishing the entire country. The husband and wife brought her together to the Buddha's place. On the way, the wife saw the auspicious marks and patterns of the Buddha's footprints, their lustrous colour being unlike anything in the world. Knowing him to be the Lord of Heaven, she said to her husband, 'The patterns of this man's footprints are like this, unheard of in the world. This must be no ordinary man; he must surely be pure, with no more carnal desire. He will not take our daughter; let us not bring shame upon ourselves.' The husband said, 'How do you know this to be so?' The wife spoke a verse herself, saying:
