昔有人乘船渡海，失一银釪，堕于水中。即便思念：“我今画水作记，舍之而去，后当取之。”

行经二月，到师子诸国，见一河水，便入其中，觅本失釪。

after two months' travel during which he visited ceylon and many other countries. on seeing a river, he jumped into the water looking for the bowl he had lost before.

诸人问言：“欲何所作？”

"what are you doing there?" people asked.

　　答言：“我先失釪，今欲觅取。”

he replied, "i have lost my bowl. now i would like to get it back."　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　问言：“于何处失？”

people went on, "when did you lose it?"
