8.8

「王告長者：『如來出世多所調伏，鴦掘摩羅氣噓旃陀羅，大力鬼王、羅剎、魁膾，一切皆化，今當詣佛啟白此事，卿可小忍。』安慰臣已，駕乘名象，與諸侍從往詣祇洹，為佛作禮繞佛三匝合掌長跪白言：『世尊！摩偷羅國諸婬女等，今來此間惑諸年少，願佛化之。』佛告大王：『却後七日佛自知之。』時波斯匿王禮佛而退。

“The king told the elder: ‘When the Tathāgata appears in the world, he tames many beings: Aṅgulimāla, breath-exhaling caṇḍālas, mighty spirit-kings, rākṣasas, and executioners—all have been transformed by him. I shall now go to the Buddha and report this matter. You may be slightly patient.’ Having comforted his minister, the king mounted a noble elephant and went with his attendants to Jetavana. He paid homage to the Buddha, circumambulated the Buddha three times, joined his palms, knelt upright, and said: ‘Bhagavat! The courtesans of the kingdom of Mathurā have now come here to delude the youths. May the Buddha please transform them.’ The Buddha told the great king: ‘After seven days, the Buddha himself will see to it.’ At that, King Prasenajit paid homage to the Buddha and withdrew.”
