如是我聞：一時佛在
時有一比丘，名曰
世尊！此長老比丘讚嘆獨住、獨行、獨坐。
佛告比丘：
汝可喚彼長老比丘。
時一比丘往至其所，語長老言：
世尊喚汝！
長老比丘受教勅已，來詣佛所，頂禮佛足，在一面立。佛告長老：
汝實獨住，讚嘆獨坐、行法耶？
長老白佛言：
實爾，世尊！
佛復告言：
汝今云何樂於獨住，讚嘆獨住？
長老白佛言：
世尊！我實獨入聚落、獨出、獨坐。
佛復告言：
更有獨住，勝汝獨住。何等是耶？欲本乾竭，來欲不起，現欲不生，是名婆羅門。無我、我所，斷於疑結，遠離諸入，滅於煩惱。
爾時世尊即說偈言：
一切世間 我悉知之 捨棄一切 盡諸愛結 如此勝法 名為獨住
佛說是已，諸比丘聞佛所說，歡喜奉行。
