如是我聞：一時佛住
時有天子容色絕妙，於後夜時來詣佛所，稽首佛足，退坐一面，其身光明遍照祇樹給孤獨園。 時彼天子說偈問佛：
退落墮負處 云何而得知 唯願世尊說 云何負處門
爾時世尊說偈答言：
勝處易得知 負處知亦易 樂法為勝處 毀法為負處 愛樂惡知識 不愛善知識 善友生怨結 是名墮負門 愛樂不善人 善人反憎惡 欲惡不欲善 是名負處門 斗 秤以欺人 是名墮負門 博弈耽嗜酒 遊輕著女色 費喪於財物 是名墮負 門 女人不自守 捨主 隨他行 男子心放蕩 捨妻 隨外色 如是 為家者 斯皆墮負門 老婦得少夫 心常懷嫉 姤 懷嫉臥不安 是則墮負門 老夫得少婦 墮負處亦然 常樂著睡眠 知識同遊戲 怠墮好瞋恨 斯皆墮負門 多財結朋友 酒食奢不節 多費喪財物 斯皆墮負門 小財多貪愛 生於剎利 心 常求為王者 是則墮負門 求珠璫瓔珞 革屣履傘蓋 莊嚴自慳惜 是則墮負門 受他豐美食 自慳惜其財 食他不反報 是則墮負門 沙門婆羅門 屈請入其舍 慳惜不時施 是則墮負門 沙門婆羅門 次第行乞食 呵責不欲施 是則墮負門 若父母年老 不 及時奉養 有財而不施 是則墮負門 於父母兄弟 搥 打而罵辱 無有尊卑序 是則墮負門 佛及弟子眾 在家與出家 毀 呰不恭敬 是則墮負門 實非阿羅漢 羅漢過自稱 是則世間賊 墮於負處門 此世間負處 我知見故說 猶如 嶮怖道 慧者當遠避
時彼天子復說偈言：
久見婆羅門 逮得般涅槃 一切怖已過 永超世恩愛
時彼天子聞佛所說，歡喜隨喜，稽首佛足，即沒不現。
