如是我聞：一時佛在
爾時佛告諸比丘：
往昔之時
質多 阿脩羅王病患委困。時 委 痿 釋提桓因 往詣其所，阿脩羅語帝釋 言：願汝使我病差安隱，身得平健，肥鮮如前！帝釋語言：汝可教我阿脩羅幻化之法，我當使汝安隱病差，歡樂如前。阿脩羅言：待我問諸阿脩羅等。若可爾者，我當教汝。阿脩羅王即問諸阿脩羅。爾時其中有一諂偽阿脩羅，語毘摩質多羅 言：帝釋長夜行直善行，無諸諂偽。汝可語帝釋言：阿脩羅王即用其語，說偈語帝釋言：汝學阿脩羅諂偽幻者，當入盧樓地獄。帝釋若語汝言： 言 者 我不學彼阿脩羅者。汝但捨去，汝患必愈。爾時帝釋聞斯語已，即言：千眼帝釋舍脂夫 若知幻法必當墮 於彼盧 留地獄中 留 樓 滿足一劫被燒煮 止！止！不須幻法！尋即願言：令汝病差，安隱無患！
佛告諸比丘：
釋提桓因雖處天位，尚不諂曲，
真實行事，況汝出家，剃除鬚髮，而當不離諸諂偽事，行質直乎。若行質直，應出家法。 真 直
佛說是已，諸比丘聞佛所說，歡喜奉行。
