佛言:「梵天無家屬產業,三明婆羅門有家屬產業,有家屬產業、無家屬產業不同趣,不同解脫,是故梵天、婆羅門不共同也。云何,婆悉咤!梵天得自在、不得自在耶?」
The Buddha said, “Brahmā has no household or property, but the priests who possess the three Vedas have households and property. They don’t equally have or have no household and property. They aren’t both free of them and headed the same way. Therefore, Brahmā and the priests aren’t equals. How is it, Vāsiṣṭha? Has Brahmā attained sovereignty or has he not?”
