增支部2集38經(莊春江譯)[SA.546]
被我這麼聽聞：
有一次，
尊者大迦旃延住在跋蘭那烏泥湖畔。
那時，樂杖
婆羅門去見尊者大迦旃延。抵達後，與尊者大迦旃延一起互相問候。交換應該被互相問候的友好交談後，在一旁坐下。在一旁坐下的樂杖婆羅門對尊者大迦旃延說這個：
「迦旃延尊師！什麼因、什麼
緣，以那個，
剎帝利們與剎帝利們諍論，婆羅門們也與婆羅門們諍論，
屋主們與屋主們諍論呢？」
「婆羅門！欲之貪、執持、繫縛、大貪、纏、固執的原因，剎帝利們與剎帝利們諍論，婆羅門們也與婆羅門們諍論，屋主們與屋主們諍論。」
「迦旃延尊師！又，什麼因、什麼緣，以那個，
沙門們與沙門們諍論呢？」
「婆羅門！見之貪、執持、繫縛、大貪、纏、固執的原因，沙門與沙門諍論。」
「迦旃延尊師！那麼，在世間中有任何凡這欲之貪、執持、繫縛、大貪、纏、固執的超越者，連同這見之貪、執持、繫縛、大貪、纏、固執的超越者？」
「婆羅門！在世間中有凡這欲之貪、執持、繫縛、大貪、纏、固執的超越者，連同這見之貪、執持、繫縛、大貪、纏、固執的超越者。」
「迦旃延尊師！那麼，在世間中誰是那位凡這欲之貪、執持、繫縛、大貪、纏、固執的超越者，連同這見之貪、執持、繫縛、大貪、纏、固執的超越者？」
「婆羅門！在東邊地方有名叫舍衛城的城市，現在，那位
世尊、
阿羅漢、
遍正覺者住在那裡，婆羅門！那位世尊確實是這欲之貪、執持、繫縛、大貪、纏、固執的超越者，連同這見之貪、執持、繫縛、大貪、纏、固執的超越者。」
在這麼說時，樂杖婆羅門從座位起來、置(作)上衣到一邊肩膀、右膝蓋觸地、向世尊之處合掌鞠躬後，吟出
優陀那三次：
「對那位世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者禮敬，對那位世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者禮敬，對那位世尊、阿羅漢、遍正覺者禮敬。凡那位世尊確實是這欲之貪、執持、繫縛、大貪、纏、固執的超越者，連同這見之貪、執持、繫縛、大貪、纏、固執的超越者。
太偉大了，迦旃延尊師！太偉大了，迦旃延尊師！迦旃延尊師！猶如扶正顛倒的，或揭開隱藏的，或告知迷路者的道路，或在黑暗中持燈火：『有眼者們看見諸色。』同樣的，法被迦旃延先生以種種法門說明。迦旃延尊師！這個我
歸依喬達摩尊師、法、
比丘僧團，請迦旃延尊師記得我為
優婆塞，從今天起
已終生歸依。」
