【迦布德迦】或迦逋，唐言鴿。《西域記》云：「昔佛於此為眾說法。羅者於林網捕羽族，經日不獲。來至佛所，揚言唱曰：『今日如來在此說法，令我網捕都無所獲。妻孥飢餓，其計安在？』如來告曰：『汝今熅火，當與汝食。』如來是時化作大鴿，投火而死。羅者持歸，妻孥共食。其後重往佛所，如來方便攝化，羅者聞法，悔過自新，捨家修學，便證聖果，因名所建，號鴿伽藍。」

> 【Kapotaka】 Or kapota; in the language of the Tang, it means pigeon. The Record of the Western Regions says: "In the past, the Buddha was preaching the Dharma to the assembly here. A trapper in the forest had been netting feathered creatures all day without catching anything. He came to where the Buddha was and cried out: 'Today the Tathāgata preaches the Dharma here, causing my netting to yield nothing at all. My wife and children are starving; what plan can there be?' The Tathāgata told him: 'Kindle a fire now, and I shall provide you with food.' At that moment, the Tathāgata transformed into a large pigeon and threw himself into the fire to die. The trapper took it home, and his wife and children ate it together. Afterwards, he returned to the Buddha's place. The Tathāgata used skillful means to embrace and transform him. Hearing the Dharma, the trapper repented and reformed, left home to cultivate and study, and immediately attained the holy fruit. Because of this, the monastery founded there was named the Pigeon Saṅghārāma."
