如是我聞：一時佛在舍衛國 祇樹給孤獨園。

爾時尊者舍利弗往詣佛所，頂禮佛足，在一面坐。于時如來為舍利弗種種說法，示、教、利、喜已，默然而住。時舍利弗見佛默然，即從坐起，頂禮佛足，還其所止。未到所住處，道逢梵志，名曰 優陟 憂陟 優陟，問舍利弗：

從何處來？

舍利弗言：

梵志！當知我於今日詣世尊所，聽法來還。

優陟 憂陟 優陟復言：

汝今故未難於教法，猶如 孾 嬰 孾兒未離乳耶？

舍利弗言：

我今聽法，無有厭足，不同 孾 嬰 孾兒。何以故？ 孾 嬰 孾兒轉大，則離母乳。

優陟 憂陟 優陟復言：

我已久離聽法教 誡 戒 誡。

舍利弗言：

如汝法中雖復教 誡 戒 誡，無有義利。行於非道，不名乘出，不至菩提，是壞敗法。無有一法可恃怙者。汝之師尊，非是如來．阿羅呵．三藐三佛陀。汝今宜應速疾離彼邪師教法。譬如弊牛，志性輕躁，好為 抵 觝 抵突，加復少乳，所生犢子，其形甚小，數數離母，隨意放逸。如汝師尊，無義教法，亦復如是，志性輕躁。所有教法，無有義利。所有弟子，稚小無智。遠離其師，隨意放逸。各自說言：『我已離於教 誡 戒 誡之法。』如來法中有義教誡， 有義教誡 有義教誡，有善乘出，趣向菩提，不為邪見之所破壞。有諸善法而可恃怙。我之世尊是如來．多陀阿伽度．阿羅呵．三藐三佛陀。諸弟子等隨逐不捨。猶如善牛，志性不輕，不為 抵 觝 抵突，加復多乳，其犢身體日日長大，隨逐其母，終不捨離。

優陟 憂陟 優陟梵志讚舍利弗：

善哉！善哉！汝獲善利。所受教 誡 戒 誡，是出世法，趣向菩提，有善乘出，至於涅槃，不可沮壞，有所依憑。汝師世尊是如來．阿羅呵．三藐三佛陀。

作是語已，各還所止。
