1 Evaṃ me sutaṃ—​   ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. Atha kho kassapo devaputto abhikkantāya rattiyā abhikkantavaṇṇo kevalakappaṃ jetavanaṃ obhāsetvā yena bhagavā tenupasankami; upasankamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ aṭṭhāsi. Ekamantaṃ ṭhito kho kassapo devaputto bhagavantaṃ etadavoca:  "bhikkhuṃ bhagavā pakāsesi, no ca bhikkhuno anusāsan"ti. "Tena hi, kassapa, taññevettha paṭibhātū"ti.

2 "Subhāsitassa sikkhetha,
samaṇūpāsanassa ca;
Ekāsanassa ca raho,
cittavūpasamassa cā"ti.
