Kumara, and a third Asidaka; then going back to Mount Gaga he converted
the demon Kangana, and Kamo the Yaksha, with the sister and son. Then
coming to Benares, he converted the celebrated Katyayana; then
afterwards going, by his miraculous power, to Sruvala, he converted the
merchants Davakin and Nikin, and received their sandalwood hall,
exhaling its fragrant odors till now. Going then to Mahivati, he
converted the Rishi Kapila, and the Muni remained with him; his foot
stepping on the stone, the thousand-spoked twin-wheels appeared, which
never could be erased.

Then he came to the place Po-lo-na, where he converted the demon
Po-lo-na; coming to the country of Mathura, he converted the demon
Godama. In the Thurakusati he also converted Pindapala; coming to the
village of Vairanga, he converted the Brahman; in the village of
Kalamasa, he converted Savasasin, and also that celebrated Agirivasa.
Once more returning to the Sravasti country, he converted the Gautamas

Upasikas, Vaguttara and her companion Uvari; and besides these, many
others, one after the other. Coming to the country of Gandhara he
converted the Naga Apalala; thus in due order all these air-going,
water-loving natures he completely converted and saved, as the sun when
he shines upon some dark and sombre cave. At this time Devadatta, seeing
the remarkable excellences of Buddha, conceived in his heart a jealous
hatred; losing all power of thoughtful abstraction he ever plotted
wicked schemes, to put a stop to the spread of the true law; ascending
the Gridhrakuta mount he rolled down a stone to hit Buddha; the stone
