究羅檀頭又白佛言:「瞿曇!我為祭祀,具諸牛羊各五百頭,今盡放捨,任其自遊隨逐水草。我今歸依佛,歸依法,歸依僧,聽我於正法中為優婆塞,自今以後,盡形壽不殺、不盜、不婬、不欺、不飲酒,唯願世尊及諸大眾時受我請。」爾時,世尊默然受之。
Kūṭatāṇḍya again said to the Buddha, “Gautama, I was going to perform a ritual sacrifice that requires five hundred head of cattle and sheep each. Now, I will let them all go so that they can find their own water and grass. I take refuge in the Buddha, take refuge in the Dharma, and take refuge in the Saṅgha. Permit me to become a layman in the correct teaching. From now on, I won’t kill, steal, engage in sex, lie, or drink alcohol for my whole life. Please let the Bhagavān and the great assembly accept my request!” The Bhagavān silently accepted it.
