7.4

「爾時世尊到曠野澤，放眉間白毫大人相光，其光直照怖小兒身。小兒見光，如見父母心無驚懼。時曠野鬼，舉一大石厚十二丈，欲擲世尊！眼出雷電雨雹如雨，一一雹下如赤鷄子從空而下，未至佛上化成化佛；一一化佛入火光三昧，諸火光明燒曠野澤，大地洞然鬼王不怖。擲石住空化成寶臺，臺中復有百億化佛，異口同音讚歎慈心，鬼猶不伏。時金剛神，手奮金杵揮大利劍，髭如劍竦眼如電光，以金剛杵擬鬼王額，攘臂大叫聲振天地。鬼王驚怖抱持小兒，長跪上佛，白言：『沙門！唯願慈愛救我生命。』時金剛神化金剛杵為大鐵山，四面火起繞鬼七匝，猛火炎熾焚燒鬼身，嬰兒舉手勅鬼王言：『稱南無佛！我稱佛故從死得生，汝今可稱南無諸佛！』爾時鬼王，驚怖失聲稱：『南無佛！』白言：『瞿曇可救護我。』

"Then the Bhagavat arrived at the Wilderness Marsh and emitted light from the mark of the white curl between his eyebrows, which shone directly onto the body of the frightened child. Seeing the light, the child felt as though seeing his parents, and his heart was without fear. Then the Wilderness Demon lifted a great rock twelve fathoms thick and intended to hurl it at the Bhagavat. Lightning flashed from his eyes and hailstones fell like rain, each falling hailstone like a red chicken egg descending from the sky, but before reaching the Buddha they turned into transformation Buddhas. Each transformation Buddha entered the fire-light samādhi; the blazing flames burned the Wilderness Marsh, and the great earth was set ablaze, yet the demon king was not afraid. The thrown rock stopped in midair and turned into a jeweled terrace, inside of which were further ten billion transformation Buddhas, praising loving-kindness with one voice; still, the demon was not subdued. Then the Vajra Spirit brandished a golden pestle and swung a sharp sword, his whiskers bristling like swords and his eyes like lightning flashes. Aiming the vajra pestle at the demon king's forehead, he bared his arms and roared, shaking heaven and earth. Terrified, the demon king held the child, knelt down on both knees, and offered him up to the Buddha, saying: 'O Śramaṇa! I only beg your compassion to spare my life.' Then the Vajra Spirit transformed the vajra pestle into a great iron mountain, from all four sides of which fires arose, encircling the demon seven times. The fierce fire blazed furiously, scorching the demon's body. The infant raised his hand and commanded the demon king, saying: 'Call out: Namo Buddhāya! Because I called on the Buddha, I gained life from death; you should now call on all the Buddhas!' Then the demon king, terrified, cried out in a lost voice: 'Namo Buddhāya!' and pleaded: 'Gautama, please save and protect me!'
