如是我聞：一時佛在
爾時
止！止！汝今自縛！
毘摩質多語帝釋言：
汝於佛所受一戒言：
若我還宮，見諸怨憎，設彼害我，我於彼所終不加惡。豈可不受如是戒耶？
帝釋答言：
我雖受戒，語汝：
住！住！汝今自縛！如是之言，於戒無犯。
毘摩質多羅言：
憍尸迦 ！放我！
帝釋語言：
汝作呪誓──更於我所不為怨疾──，我當放汝。
毘摩質多羅即說誓言：
貪瞋妄語謗賢聖 如是惡報使我得
爾時帝釋聞斯誓已，即語毘摩質多羅言：
我今放汝。
釋提桓因還至佛所，頂禮佛足，白佛言：
世尊！毘摩質多羅聞我受戒，即捉利劍，在於路側，伺圖於我。時我遙語阿脩羅言：
止！止！汝今自縛！毘摩質多即語我言：汝於佛所受於一戒：我即答言：若我還宮，見有怨憎，設來害我，我於彼所終不加惡。豈可不受如是戒耶？我雖受戒，但語汝：毘摩質多羅即語我言：住！汝今自縛！如是之言，於戒無犯。憍尸迦！放我！我即語言：汝可重誓──更於我所莫生憎時毘摩質多羅聞我語已，即說誓言：疾──，我當放汝。 疾 嫉 我聞其誓，即放令去。貪瞋妄語謗賢聖 如是惡報使我得
帝釋復白佛言：
此阿脩羅作重誓已，從今已後更不作於怨憎惡耶？
佛告帝釋：
阿脩羅設不作誓，猶不為惡，況作
誓已。
爾時帝釋聞佛所說，踊躍歡喜，即於坐沒，尋還天宮
