如是我聞：一時佛在
爾時
十四十五日 及以月八日 如來神足月 清淨持八戒 修行不缺減 鬼神不擾亂 我從羅漢所 得聞如是事
時有夜叉，而說偈言：
十四十五日 及以月八日 神足月齋日 持戒不毀缺 具受八支齋 鬼神不擾亂 汝於羅漢所 所聞皆稱實 我今必當放
夜叉作是語：
毀戒鬼擾 弄 弄 亂 若有所毀缺 現在鬼神惱 將來獲惡果 受戒如執刀 急緩俱能傷 智者須 菩提 菩提 善捉 得中則無害 不持法沙門 後受地獄苦 如彼拙用刀 必傷於其手 善捉者不傷 能護沙門法 後必得涅槃
夜叉捉兒竟 捉已尋復放 時彼優婆夷 尋語其子言 尋 即
汝今當聽我 夜叉之所說 諸有遲緩業 梵行不清淨 邪命并諂曲 彼不成大果 譬如拙用刀 必自傷害手 善持沙門法 後必近涅槃 如似善捉刀 不自傷其手
爾時優婆夷為子種種說是法已，其子尋即生於厭惡。既厭惡已，便求出家，剃除鬚髮，即著法服。年少出家不能深樂出家之法。以不樂故，便還歸家。時優婆夷遙見子來，舉手大
舍既被燒 烟炎熾盛 善出諸物 何以復來 而欲入火 舍既焚燒 烟焰熾盛 何緣復來 欲被燒害
爾時其子復說偈言：
一切世人死 必應 悲號哭 悲 愁 現在若不見 亦復應啼泣 母今以何故 如彼餓鬼哭
其母復說偈言：
汝以先捨欲 出家為沙門 汝今欲還家 恐為魔所縛 我今以是故 是以哭於汝
時優婆夷，如是種種，呵責其子，使生厭惡。
爾時其子即向阿練若處，精勤修道，晝夜不廢，獲阿羅漢。
