The Long Āgama Sūtra 5.12

5.12

尋白佛言：「彼言：『我婆羅門種最為第一，餘者卑劣；我種清白，餘者黑冥；我婆羅門種出自梵天，從梵口生，於現法中得清淨解，後亦清淨；汝等何故捨清淨種，入彼瞿曇異法中耶？』世尊！彼見我於佛法中出家修道，以如此言而呵責我。」

He quickly replied, “They say, ‘Our caste of priests is the best; the others are inferior. Our caste is pure white; the others are dark. Our caste of priests came out of Brahmā’s own mouth. Being born from Brahmā’s mouth, we can purify our understanding in the present, and it’ll also be pure in later [lives]. Why have you abandoned the pure caste and entered that other teaching of Gautama’s?’ Bhagavān, when they see that we’ve left home to cultivate the path in the Buddha’s teaching, they reproach us with these words.”
