如是我聞：一時佛住王舍城 迦蘭陀竹園。

爾時 提婆達多有利養起，摩竭陀王 阿闍世──毘提希子──日日侍從五百乘車，來詣提婆達多所，日日持五百釜食，供養提婆達多。提婆達多將五百人別眾，受其供養。時有眾多比丘，晨朝著衣持鉢，入王舍城乞食，聞提婆達多有如是利養起，……（乃至）五百人別眾，受其供養。乞食已，還精舍，舉衣鉢，洗足畢，往詣佛所，稽首佛足，退坐一面，白佛言：

世尊！我等晨朝著衣持鉢，入王舍 城乞食，聞提婆達多有如是利養起，……（乃至）五百人別眾，受其供養。

佛告諸比丘：

汝等莫稱是提婆達多所得利養。所以者何？彼提婆達多別受利養，今則自壞，他世亦壞。譬如芭蕉、竹、蘆，生果即死，來年亦壞。提婆達多亦復如是，受其利養，今世則壞，他世亦壞。譬如駏驉，受胎必死。提婆達多亦復如是，受諸利養，今世亦壞，他世亦壞。彼愚癡提婆達多隨幾時受其利養，當得長夜不饒益苦。是故──諸比丘！──當如是學：我設有利養起，莫生染著。

爾時世尊即說偈言：

芭蕉生果死竹蘆實亦然 駏驉坐妊死士以貪自喪 常行非義行多知不免愚 善法日損減莖枯根亦傷

佛說此經已，諸比丘聞佛所說，歡喜奉行。
