增支部5集194經/葛拉那巴利經(莊春江譯)
有一次，
世尊住在毘舍離大林重閣講堂。
當時，葛拉那巴利
婆羅門為離車人工作，葛拉那巴利婆羅門看見正從遠處到來的賓其亞尼婆羅門。看見後，對賓其亞尼婆羅門說這個：
「那麼，賓其亞尼
尊師中午從哪裡來呢？」
「
先生！我從
沙門喬達摩面前來。」
「賓其亞尼尊師！對沙門喬達摩的聰明慧，你怎麼想它？我想他是賢智者。」
「先生！我是誰啊，會知道沙門喬達摩的聰明慧？確實有像沙門喬達摩的聰明慧那樣的人才能知道。」
「賓其亞尼尊師確實以崇高的讚賞稱讚沙門喬達摩。」
「先生！我是誰啊，能稱讚沙門喬達摩？喬達摩尊師被天-人們中最上的稱讚者稱讚。」
「看見什麼理由賓其亞尼尊師對沙門喬達摩是
極淨信者呢？」
「先生！猶如已滿足最上味道的男子不熱望其他低劣味道。同樣的，先生！只要聽聞那位喬達摩尊師的法：修多羅或祇夜或記說或
未曾有法，此後就不熱望其他沙門、婆羅門的議論。
先生！猶如被飢餓虛弱折磨的男子如果得到蜜丸，無論他嘗哪裡，都只會得到甘美與美味。同樣的，先生！只要聽聞那位喬達摩尊師的法：修多羅或祇夜或記說或未曾有法，此後就得到滿足；得到心的
淨信。
先生！猶如男子如果得到檀香杖：黃檀香的或赤檀香的，只要他能聞：底部或中間或頂部，都只得到芳香的氣味。同樣的，先生！只要聽聞那位喬達摩尊師的法：修多羅或祇夜或記說或未曾有法，此後就得到欣悅；得到喜悅。
先生！猶如有生病的、受苦的、重病的男子，好醫師能為他立即除去疾病。同樣的，先生！只要聽聞那位喬達摩尊師的法：修多羅或祇夜或記說或未曾有法，此後愁悲苦憂絕望滅沒。
先生！猶如有清澈水的、悅意水的、冷水的、透明水的、美麗堤岸的、能被喜樂的蓮花池，那時，被熱壓迫、被熱折磨、疲累、乾透了、口渴的男子走來，他跳入那個蓮花池後，沐浴、喝飲，會使一切苦惱、疲勞、焦熱止息。同樣的，先生！只要聽聞那位喬達摩尊師的法：修多羅或祇夜或記說或未曾有法，此後使一切苦惱、疲勞、焦熱止息。」
在這麼說時，葛拉那巴利婆羅門從座位起來後，置(作)上衣到一邊肩膀後，右膝蓋觸地、向世尊所在處合掌鞠躬，接著吟出
優陀那三次：
「禮敬那位世尊、
阿羅漢、
遍正覺者！
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。
太偉大了，賓其亞尼先生！太偉大了，賓其亞尼先生！賓其亞尼先生！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，法被賓其亞尼先生以種種法門說明。賓其亞尼先生！這個我
歸依喬達摩
尊師、法、
比丘僧團，請賓其亞尼尊師記得我為
優婆塞，從今天起
已終生歸依。」
