如是我聞：一時佛住
時有
爾時優婆夷即說偈言：
十四十五日 及月分八日 神通瑞應月 八支善正受 受持於齋戒 不為鬼所持 我昔數諮問 世尊作是說
爾時彼鬼即說偈言：
十四十五日 及月分八日 神足瑞應月 八支修正受 齋肅清淨住 戒 德善守護 不為鬼戲弄 善哉從佛聞 汝當說言放 我當放汝子 諸有慢緩業 染污行苦行 梵行不清淨 終不得大果 譬如拔 菅草 執緩則傷手 沙門行惡觸 當墮地獄中 譬如拔 菅草 急 捉不傷手 沙門善攝持 則到般涅槃
時彼鬼神即放優婆夷子。爾時優婆夷說偈告子言：
子汝今聽我 說彼鬼神說 若有慢緩業 穢污修苦行 不清淨梵行 彼不得大果 譬如拔葌草 執緩則傷手 沙門起惡觸 當墮地獄中 如急執葌草 則不傷其手 沙門善執護 逮得般涅槃
時彼優婆夷子如是覺悟已，剃除鬚髮，著袈裟衣，正信、非家、出家學道。心不得樂，還歸自家。母遙見子，而說偈言：
邁世而出家 何為還聚落 燒舍急出財 豈還投火中
其子比丘說偈答言：
但念母命終 存亡不相見 故來還瞻視 何見子不歡
時母優婆夷
捨欲而出家 還欲服食之 是故我憂悲 恐隨魔自在
是時優婆夷如是、如是發悟其子；如是，其子還空閑處，精勤思惟，斷除一切煩惱結縛，得阿羅漢果證。
