如是我聞。爾時，世尊住舍衛城東園鹿母講堂。爾時，鹿母毘舍佉可愛可喜之孫死。鹿母毘舍佉隨以濡濕衣服、濡濕毛髮於日中近於世尊，禮敬而坐於一隅。世尊向坐於一隅之鹿母毘舍佉如是言：「毘舍佉！何故汝濡溼衣服、濡溼毛髮而於日中來耶？」答曰：「大德！妾甚可愛可喜之孫已死，妾以此故濡濕衣服、濡濕毛髮而於日中來此處。」世尊言：「毘舍佉！汝於舍衛城將欲得有限人數之子與孫耶？」答曰：「世尊！將欲得有限人數之子與孫。」世尊宣：「毘舍佉！然則於舍衛城每日幾多人死耶？」答曰：「大德！於舍衛城每日有十人之死，或九人……八人……七人……六人……五人……四人……三人……二人……大德！於舍衛城或每日唯一人死。大德！於舍衛城無一人不死。」世尊言：「毘舍佉！如此，汝如何思惟耶？汝何時何處將不著濡濕衣服、濡濕毛髮事耶？」答曰：「大德！否，如此之事，此應有之。大德！多子孫妾為無用。」世尊如是言：「毘舍佉！持百愛者之人有百之苦，持九十愛者之人有九十之苦，持八十愛者之人有八十之苦，持七十愛者之人有七十之苦，持六十愛者之人有六十之苦，持五十愛者之人有五十之苦，持四十愛者之人有四十之苦，持三十愛者之人有三十之苦，持二十愛者之人有二十之苦，持十愛者之人有十之苦，持九愛者之人有九之苦，持八愛者之人有八之苦，持七愛者之人有七之苦，持六愛者之人有六之苦，持五愛者之人有五之苦，持四愛者之人有四之苦，持三愛者之人有三之苦，持二愛者之人有二之苦，持一愛者之人有一之苦，無持愛者之人則無苦。予謂彼等無憂悲，無塵垢無苦惱。」世尊知此已，彼時唱此優陀那：

> Thus have I heard. At that time, the Blessed One was staying in the Eastern Park, in the Hall of the Mother of Migara, near Savatthi. Now at that time, Visakha, the mother of Migara, had a beloved and dearly cherished grandson who had died. Visakha, with her clothes and hair still wet, came to the Blessed One in the middle of the day, paid homage, and sat down to one side. The Blessed One said to her: "Visakha, why have you come here in the middle of the day with your clothes and hair still wet?" She replied: "Venerable sir, my dear and cherished grandson has died. That is why I have come here with my clothes and hair still wet." The Blessed One said: "Visakha, do you wish to have as many children and grandchildren as there are people in Savatthi?" She replied: "Venerable sir, yes, I wish to have as many children and grandchildren as there are people in Savatthi." Then the Blessed One said: "Visakha, how many people die in Savatthi each day?" She replied: "Venerable sir, each day in Savatthi, ten people die, or nine... eight... seven... six... five... four... three... two... Venerable sir, sometimes only one person dies each day in Savatthi. Venerable sir, there is not a single day when no one dies in Savatthi." The Blessed One said: "Visakha, what do you think about this? Will there ever be a time or place where you would not have wet clothes and wet hair?" She replied: "Venerable sir, no, that is impossible. Venerable sir, having many children and grandchildren is of no use to me." Then the Blessed One spoke these words: "A person who holds a hundred affections has a hundred Sufferings. A person who holds ninety affections has ninety Sufferings. A person who holds eighty affections has eighty Sufferings. A person who holds seventy affections has seventy Sufferings. A person who holds sixty affections has sixty Sufferings. A person who holds fifty affections has fifty Sufferings. A person who holds forty affections has forty Sufferings. A person who holds thirty affections has thirty Sufferings. A person who holds twenty affections has twenty Sufferings. A person who holds ten affections has ten Sufferings. A person who holds nine affections has nine Sufferings. A person who holds eight affections has eight Sufferings. A person who holds seven affections has seven Sufferings. A person who holds six affections has six Sufferings. A person who holds five affections has five Sufferings. A person who holds four affections has four Sufferings. A person who holds three affections has three Sufferings. A person who holds two affections has two Sufferings. A person who holds one affection has one Suffering. A person who holds no affections has no Suffering. Such a one, I declare, is free from sorrow and lamentation, free from dust and distress." Having understood this, the Blessed One uttered this solemn utterance at that time:

「任何諸形於此世，此有憂悲苦存喜，無喜之處此等無。是故此世任何處，無喜安樂而無憂，然望無憂離塵者，此世何處勿生喜。」

> "Whatever forms exist in this world, there dwell sorrow, lamentation, and pain. Where delight is absent, such afflictions nowhere abide. Therefore, in this world, no place holds joy or ease without traces of sorrow. Yet those who long to be free of worry and the world’s dust—nowhere here should they plant delight."
