如是我聞：一時佛住
時尊者
世尊昔來說三種香，所謂根、莖、華香。一切諸香不出此三。然三種香，順風則聞，逆風不聞。
尊者阿難思惟是已，即從坐起，往至佛所，禮佛足畢，在一面立，白佛言：
世尊！我於向者獨處閑靜，默自思惟：
世尊所說根、莖、華等三種之香，眾香中上。然其香氣，順風則聞，逆則不聞。世尊！頗復有香，逆風、順風皆能聞不？
佛告阿難：
如是，如是，世有好香，順、逆皆聞。何者是耶？若聚落城邑若男若女修治不殺、不盜、不婬、不妄語、不飲酒。若諸天及得天眼者，盡皆稱嘆。彼城邑聚落若男若女持五戒者，如是戒香，順、逆
皆聞。 皆 俱
爾時世尊即說偈言：
若栴檀沈水 根莖及花葉 此香順風聞 逆風無聞者 持戒香丈夫 芳 馨遍世界 馨 聲 名聞滿十方 逆順悉聞之 栴檀及沈水 優鉢羅 拔師 拔 跋 如此香微劣 不如持戒香 如是種種香 所聞處不遠 戒香聞十方 殊勝諸天香 如此清淨戒 不放逸為本 安住無漏法 正智得解脫 眾魔雖欲求 莫知其方所 是名安隱道 此道最清淨 永離於諸向 捨棄於眾趣
說是偈已，諸比丘聞佛所說，歡喜奉行。
