如是我聞：一時佛住波羅
爾時世尊晨朝著衣持鉢，入波羅
我今晨朝著衣持鉢，入波羅
[木*奈] 城乞食，見有比丘，以不住心，惑亂心，諸根放散，亦持衣鉢，入城乞食。彼遙見我，即自斂攝。竟為是誰？
時彼比丘從座起，整衣服，到於佛前，偏袒右肩，合掌白佛：
世尊！我於晨朝入城乞食，其心惑亂，不攝諸根行。遙見世尊，即自斂心，攝持諸根。
佛告比丘：
善哉！善哉！汝見我已，能自斂心，攝持諸根。比丘！是法應當如是：若見比丘，亦應自攝持。若復見比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷，亦當如是，攝持諸根。當得長夜以義饒益，安隱快樂。
爾時眾中復有異比丘說偈歎曰：
以其心迷亂 不專繫念住 晨朝持衣鉢 入城邑乞食 中路見大師 威德容儀備 欣悅生慚愧 即攝持諸根
佛說此經已，諸比丘聞佛所說，歡喜奉行。
