如是我聞：一時佛在
時梵主天於其中夜威光甚明，來至佛所。爾時世尊入火光三昧。時梵主天作是心念：
今者如來入於三昧。我來至此，甚為非時。
當爾之時提婆達多親友瞿迦梨比丘謗舍利弗及大目連。此梵主天即詣其所，扣
瞿迦梨！瞿迦梨！汝於舍利弗、目連當生淨信！彼二尊者心淨柔軟，梵行具足。汝作是謗，後於長夜受諸衰苦！
瞿迦梨即問之言：
汝為是誰？
答曰：
我是梵主天。
瞿迦梨言：
佛記汝得阿那含耶？
梵主答言：
實爾。
瞿迦梨言：
阿那含名為不還。汝云何還梵主天？
復作是念：
如此等人不應與語。
而說偈言：
欲測無量法 智者所不應 若測無量法 必為所 燒害 燒 嬈
時梵主天說是偈已，即往佛所，頂禮佛足，在一面坐，以瞿迦梨所說因緣具白世尊。佛告梵
實爾，實爾，欲測無量法，能
燒凡夫。 燒 嬈
爾時世尊即說偈言：
夫人生世 斧在口中 由其惡口 自斬其身 應讚者毀 應毀者讚 如斯惡人 終不見樂 迦梨偽謗 於佛賢聖 迦梨為重 百千地獄 時阿浮陀 毀謗賢聖 口意惡故 入此地獄
時梵主天聞是偈已，禮佛而退。
