如是我聞：一時佛在
爾時世尊告諸比丘：
往昔之時
釋提桓因 共阿脩羅將欲戰鬭，治嚴已辦。爾時釋提桓因告諸天言：我等諸天若得勝者，必以五縛繫阿脩羅，將詣天宮！時阿脩羅亦勅己眾：我等若勝，亦以五縛繫釋提桓因，詣阿脩羅宮！爾時諸天眾勝，即以五縛繫毘摩質多羅 ，將詣天宮。毘摩質多見 質多 質多羅 帝釋 時，瞋恚罵詈，極出惡言。帝釋爾時親聞罵聲，默不加報。爾時御者摩得伽 即說偈言：爾時帝釋說偈答言：釋脂之夫摩佉婆 汝為怖畏無力耶 毘摩質多面前罵 極出惡言云何忍 御者復說偈言：我不怖畏而生忍 亦不以我無力故 而畏毘摩質多羅 我以勝智自修忍 愚者淺識智無及 而常諍訟心不息 若我以力用禁制 與彼愚者同無異 帝釋復說偈言：孾愚若放縱 孾 嬰 轉劇不休息 如彼後行牛 騰陌前牛上 健者 為以力 為 宜 禁制彼愚者 我 觀制禁愚 觀 看 莫過於忍默 瞋恚熾盛時 唯忍最能制 愚者謂有力 而實是無力 愚不識善惡 無法可禁制 我身有勇力 能忍愚劣者 是名第一忍 忍中之善者 微者於有力 不得不行者 是名怖畏忍 不名為實忍 威力得自在 為他所毀罵 默然不加報 是名為勝忍 微劣怖威力 默然不能報 是名為怖畏 不名為行忍 孾愚無智等 孾 嬰 惡害以加他 見他默然忍 便以己為勝 賢聖有智者 謂忍最為勝 是以聖賢眾 恒讚忍功德 除己并與他 滅除諸難畏 見他瞋恚盛 但能行默忍 彼瞋自然滅 不煩刀 杖力 杖 仗 彼此得大利 自利 亦利他 亦 知 愚者謂忍怯 賢智之所讚 忍於勝己者 怖畏患害故 若於等己諍 畏俱害故忍 能忍卑劣者 忍中最為上
佛告諸比丘：
帝釋於三十三天最為自在，行於王法，尚能修忍，讚嘆於忍，況諸比丘毀形入法，應當修忍，讚嘆於忍。若能修忍及讚嘆者，是出家法。
佛說是已，諸比丘聞佛所說，歡喜奉行。
