6.30

"At that time, because the old servant woman had seen the Buddha, the alleys and streets opened again. She ran swiftly back home and addressed her master, saying: 'Today I encountered a great and terrible foe—the ascetic Gautama! In front of the palace gate and before a great crowd, he performed various magical illusions. His body was like a mountain of gold adorned with multitudes of flowers; his eyes surpassed blue lotuses, with light of myriad billions [of beams] that could not be fully looked upon. That ascetic is skilled in illusions, peerless in the world. Master, you are young; you must not take pleasure in seeing him.' Having said this, she climbed into a wooden cage, covered the wooden cage with a hundred skins, wrapped her head in white cotton cloth, and lay back down in a dark place.
