一次，阿那律在佛陀說法時打瞌睡，受到佛陀呵斥。阿那律涕泣自責，從此不再睡眠，每天不是經行便是誦經，終致眼睛失明。一日，他想縫製衣服，因眼睛看不見，無法把線穿進針孔，心中極盼有人能夠幫忙。佛陀知道後，便前往他的住處，一天之內為阿那律縫好三衣，並且教他修習照明金剛三昧。不久，阿那律證得「天眼通」，成為佛陀弟子中，有名的天眼第一！

Once when the Buddha was teaching the Dharma, Aniruddha was caught dozing and was reprimanded by the Buddha. Aniruddha wept tears of self-reproach and stopped sleeping since then. Every day, he either engaged in walking meditation or Dharma recitation. Eventually, he lost his eyesight. One day, he wanted to sew his clothes, but since he could not see, he was unable to thread the needle. He longed for someone to help him. After learning this, the Buddha visited him and helped him sew three robes in one day. The Buddha also taught him to practice the Illuminating Vajra Samadhi. Soon after, Aniruddha obtained the power of the divine eye and became the most renowned among the Buddha's disciples for this ability.
