【阿濕縛窶（瞿庾）沙】或名阿濕矩沙。《西域記》云：「唐言馬鳴。」《摩訶衍論》曰：「若尅其本，大光明佛；若論其因，第八地內住位菩薩。西天竺誕生，盧伽為父，瞿那為母，同生利益。過去世中，有一大王，名曰輪陀，有千白鳥，皆悉好聲。若鳥出聲，大王增德；若不出聲，大王損德。如是諸鳥，若見白馬，則其出聲；若不見時，常不出聲。爾時大王，遍求白馬，終日不得。作如是言：『若外道眾，此鳥鳴者，都破佛教，獨尊獨信；若佛弟子，此鳥鳴者，都破外道，獨尊獨信。』爾時菩薩，用神通力，現千白馬，鳴千白鳥，紹隆正法，令不斷絕。是故世尊，名曰馬鳴。」《律宗統要鈔》引緣異此，學者須撿。

【Aśvaghoṣa】 Also called Aśvajuṣa. The *Records of the Western Regions* states: "In the Tang language, it is called Horse Neighing (Maming)." The *Tract on the Mahāyāna* states: "If one examines his origin, he is the Great Light Buddha; if one considers his cause, he is a bodhisattva abiding in the stage of the eighth bhūmi. He was born in Western India; Ruca was his father, and Guṇā was his mother, and they together brought forth benefit. In a past age, there was a great king named Ruṇḍa who had a thousand white birds, all with beautiful cries. If the birds uttered cries, the great king's virtue increased; if they did not utter cries, the great king's virtue diminished. When these birds saw white horses, they would utter cries; when they did not see them, they never uttered cries. At that time, the great king sought white horses everywhere, but could not find any all day long. He made this declaration: 'If non-Buddhists cause these birds to call, all Buddhist teachings shall be overthrown, and they alone shall be revered and believed; if disciples of the Buddha cause these birds to call, all non-Buddhist teachings shall be overthrown, and they alone shall be revered and believed.' At that time, the bodhisattva used his supernormal powers to manifest a thousand white horses, which caused the thousand white birds to cry out, thereby carrying forward and magnifying the true Dharma so that it would not be cut off. For this reason, the Bhagavat named him Horse Neighing." The *Comprehensive Essentials of the Vinaya School* cites a story different from this, which scholars should consult.
