佛說觀佛三昧海經 1.16

1.16

「復次父王！譬如伊蘭俱與栴檀生末利山，牛頭栴檀生伊蘭叢中，未及長大在地下時，芽莖枝葉如閻浮提竹筍，眾人不知，言此山中純是伊蘭無有栴檀。而伊蘭臭，臭若膖屍薰四十由旬，其華紅色甚可愛樂，若有食者發狂而死。牛頭栴檀雖生此林，未成就故不能發香。仲秋月滿卒從地出成栴檀樹，眾人皆聞牛頭栴檀上妙之香，永無伊蘭臭惡之氣。」

"Furthermore, royal father! It is like the eraṇḍa growing together with sandalwood on Mount Malaya. When gośīrṣa-candana grows within a thicket of eraṇḍa, before it has grown large and while it is still underground, its sprouts, stems, branches, and leaves are like the bamboo shoots of Jambudvīpa. People do not know this, and say: 'In this mountain there is purely eraṇḍa; there is no sandalwood.' Now the foul odor of eraṇḍa stinks like a swollen corpse, scenting forty yojanas around; its flowers are red and very delightful, but if anyone eats them, they go mad and die. Although the gośīrṣa-candana grows in this forest, because it has not yet matured, it cannot emit fragrance. When the moon is full in mid-autumn, it suddenly emerges from the earth and becomes a sandalwood tree. Everyone smells the supreme, wonderful fragrance of the gośīrṣa-candana, and the foul, noxious stench of the eraṇḍa is forever gone."
