捉攬馬一毛(勒敢反大海中有羅剎國彼羅剎眾常食生人有大悲菩薩化為天馬飛往彼國救彼食之人事具在佛本行集經及正法念經等皆同此說且略言耳)。

捉攬馬一毛 (The fanqie is l- + g- [lǎn]. In the great ocean there is a realm of rākṣasas; those rākṣasas constantly eat living people. There was a bodhisattva of great compassion who transformed into a celestial horse [Balāha] and flew to that land to rescue those people about to be eaten. The complete account is found in the Abhiniṣkramaṇa-sūtra and the Saddharmasmṛtyupasthāna-sūtra, both of which share this account; it is only briefly stated here).
