增支部4集68經/提婆達多經(莊春江譯)
有一次，在提婆達多離開不久，
世尊住在王舍城
耆闍崛山。
在那裡，關於提婆達多之事，世尊召喚
比丘們：
「比丘們！提婆達多的利得、恭敬、名聲生起對自己的殺害；比丘們！提婆達多的利得、恭敬、名聲生起敗亡。
比丘們！猶如芭蕉結果實對自己的殺害；結果實敗亡。同樣的，比丘們！提婆達多的利得、恭敬、名聲生起對自己的殺害；提婆達多的利得、恭敬、名聲生起敗亡。
比丘們！猶如竹子結果實對自己的殺害；結果實敗亡。同樣的，比丘們！提婆達多的利得、恭敬、名聲生起對自己的殺害；提婆達多的利得、恭敬、名聲生起敗亡。
比丘們！猶如蘆葦結果實對自己的殺害；結果實敗亡。同樣的，比丘們！提婆達多的利得、恭敬、名聲生起對自己的殺害；提婆達多的利得、恭敬、名聲生起敗亡。
比丘們！猶如騾子懷胎對自己的殺害；懷胎而敗亡。同樣的，比丘們！提婆達多的利得、恭敬、名聲生起對自己的殺害；提婆達多的利得、恭敬、名聲生起敗亡。」
「果實確實殺害芭蕉：果實對竹子、果實對蘆葦，[≃Dhp.12, 164偈]
恭敬殺害邪惡人，如胎對騾。」[SN.17.35]
