如是我聞：一時佛在
爾時
世界之中少有能得富貴財業，設得財業，不尚
驕奢，貞廉知足，節於嗜欲，不惱眾生，如是人少；世界多有眾人得勝財業， 驕 憍 驕逸自恣，貪嗜於欲，加惱眾生，如是人多。 驕 憍
波斯匿王於閑靜處思惟是已，從坐而起，往詣佛所，頂禮佛足，在一面坐，即白佛言：
世尊！我於靜處作是思惟：
世界之中若設有人得勝財業，心自知足，能不 驕恣，不嗜於欲，不惱於人，如是人少；若復有人得勝基業，憍逸自恣，貪嗜於欲，加惱眾生，如是人多。 驕 憍
佛言：
大王！實爾，實爾，世界之中多有眾人得封祿已，憍慢自恣，貪嗜於欲，苦楚眾生。如是愚人長夜受苦，得大損減，命終之後，必入地獄。
佛言：
譬如魚師及其弟子於捕魚法善巧方便，以細密網截流而
拖。魚、鼈、黿、鼉，水性之屬，為網所得。此水性等入網之者，悉皆集在魚師之手，牽挽旋轉，任魚師意。世間之中多有眾人得勝封祿，憍慢自恣，貪嗜五欲，加惱眾生，亦復如是。所以者何？如斯愚人即入魔網，為網所獲，周迴舉動， 拖 施 住魔所為。 住 任
爾時世尊即說偈言：
縱逸著事業 荒迷嗜五欲 不知有惡果 如魚入密網 此業已成就 極受大苦惱
佛說是已，諸比丘聞佛所說，歡喜奉行。
