婆羅門言:「世尊若在,不避遠近,其當親見,歸依禮拜。今聞迦葉言:『如來滅度!』今即歸依滅度如來及法、眾僧。迦葉!聽我於正法中為優婆塞!自今已後,盡壽不殺、不盜、不婬、不欺、不飲酒,我今當為一切大施。」

The priest said, “If the Bhagavān still existed, I wouldn’t avoid him, whether he was far or near. He would be a friend to visit. I’d take refuge and venerate him. Now that I hear Kāśyapa speak of the Tathāgata’s final liberation, I’ll take refuge in the completely liberated Tathāgata, Dharma, and Saṃgha. Kāśyapa, permit me to become a layman in the correct teaching. From this day forward, I won’t kill, steal, engage in sex, lie, or drink alcohol for my whole life, and right now I’ll make a large donation.”
