1.21

「復次大王，雪山有樹名殃伽陀，其果甚大其核甚小。推其本末從香山來，以風力故得至雪山。孟冬盛寒，羅剎、夜叉在山曲中屏㟪之處，糞穢不淨盈流于地，猛風吹雪以覆其上，漸漸成塹五十由旬，因糞力故此果得生，根莖枝葉華實滋茂，春陽三月八方同時皆悉風起，消融氷雪唯果樹在。其果形色，閻浮提果無以為譬。其形團圓滿半由旬，婆羅門食即得仙道五通具足，壽命一劫不老不死；凡夫食之向須陀洹、阿那含食成阿羅漢，三明六通罔不悉備。有人持種至閻浮提糞壤之地，然後乃生，高一多羅樹，樹名拘律陀，果名多勒，如五斗瓶，閻浮提人有食之者，能除熱病。」

"Furthermore, Great King, on the Snow Mountains there is a tree named aṅgada, whose fruit is exceedingly large and whose seed is exceedingly small. Tracing its origin, it came from the Fragrant Mountains; by the power of the wind it was able to reach the Snow Mountains. In the deep cold of early winter, rākṣasas and yakṣas gathered in secluded coves in the mountain bends, where excrement and filth overflowed onto the ground. Fierce winds blew snow to cover it over, gradually forming a ditch fifty yojanas wide. Due to the power of the dung, this fruit was able to grow, its roots, stems, branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits luxuriant and flourishing. In the three months of spring warmth, winds arose simultaneously in all eight directions, melting the ice and snow so that only the fruit tree remained. As for the shape and color of its fruit, no fruit in Jambudvīpa can compare to it. Its shape is round, measuring a full half yojana. If a brāhmaṇa eats it, he immediately attains the path of a rṣi, endowed with the five superknowledges, with a lifespan of one kalpa, free from old age and death. If an ordinary person eats it, they head toward srotāpanna; if an anāgāmin eats it, they become an arhat, and there are none of the three clarities and six superknowledges that are not fully equipped. Someone brought its seeds to the dung-fertilized soil of Jambudvīpa, and only then did it grow, one tāla tree high; the tree was named kulyata and the fruit was named tara, like a five-dou vase. If someone in Jambudvīpa eats it, it can eliminate fever diseases."
