時舍利弗聞阿捨婆耆說此偈言。即於諸法。遠塵離垢得法眼淨。見道跡已心大踊躍。身諸情根皆悉悅豫。而自念言。一切眾生悉著於我。所以輪迴在於生死。若除我想。即於我所亦皆得離。譬如日光能破於暗。無我之想亦復如是。悉能破於我見暗障。我從昔來所可修學。皆為邪見。唯今所得是真正道。作此念已。禮阿捨婆耆足。歸還所止。時阿捨婆耆至前乞食訖還竹園。時舍利弗還至住處。時目犍連夜那善根已熟。見舍利弗諸根寂定威儀詳序。顏容怡悅異於常日。即便問言我今觀汝。諸根顏貌與常有異。必當已得甘露妙法。我昔與汝共結誓言。若聞妙法要相啟悟。汝有所得願為我說。時舍利弗即便答言。我今實已得甘露法。目犍連夜那聞已。歡喜無量。歎言善哉。時為我說。舍利弗言。我今出行逢一比丘。執持衣鉢入村乞食。諸根寂靜威儀詳序。我既見已深生恭敬。既到其所而問之言。我意觀汝似新出家。而能如此攝諸情根。欲有所問唯願見答。汝今大師其名何等。有所教誡演說何法。時阿捨婆耆。即便安詳而見。答言。我之大師得一切種智。是甘蔗種天人之師。相好智慧及神通力。無與等者。我既年幼學道日淺。豈能宣說如來妙法。然以所知當為汝說。即說偈言。

> When Śāriputra heard Aśvajit speak this verse, he immediately attained the purity of the Dharma-eye regarding all phenomena, far from dust and free from defilement. Having seen the traces of the path, he leaped with great joy, and all the faculties of his body were elated. He thought to himself: 'All sentient beings are attached to a self, which is why they transmigrate in birth and death. If one eliminates the conception of a self, one is also free from what belongs to the self. Just as the light of the sun can dispel darkness, the conception of non-self is also like this: it can entirely dispel the dark hindrance of the view of self. Whatever I have practiced and studied since the past has all been wrong views; only what I have attained today is the true, correct path.' Having had this thought, he bowed to Aśvajit's feet and returned to his dwelling. Then Aśvajit went forward to finish begging for alms and returned to the Bamboo Grove. Śāriputra returned to his residence. At that time, Maudgalyāyana's good roots had also matured; seeing Śāriputra's faculties calm and settled, his deportment dignified and measured, and his countenance cheerful and radiant, unlike ordinary days, he immediately asked: 'Looking at you now, your faculties and countenance are different from usual. You must surely have attained the wondrous Dharma of the deathless. Formerly, you and I made a pledge: if either of us heard the wondrous Dharma, he must instruct and awaken the other. If you have attained anything, please speak it for me.' Śāriputra then replied: 'I have indeed now attained the Dharma of the deathless.' Hearing this, Maudgalyāyana rejoiced boundlessly and praised him: 'Excellent! Please tell me at once.' Śāriputra said: 'Just now, as I was walking out, I met a bhikṣu carrying his robes and bowl, entering a village to beg for alms. His faculties were serene and calm, and his deportment dignified and measured. Seeing him, I gave rise to profound respect. Approaching him, I asked: "It seems to me that you must be newly ordained, yet you can restrain your faculties like this. I wish to ask a question, and I pray you will answer me: What is the name of your great master? What does he teach and admonish, and what Dharma does he expound?" At that time, Aśvajit calmly answered me, saying: "My great master has attained sarvākārajñatā; he is of the Ikṣvāku clan and is the teacher of gods and humans. In marks, wisdom, and supernormal powers, no one is his equal. As I am young and newly practicing the path, how could I fully expound the wondrous Dharma of the Tathāgata? Yet according to what I know, I shall speak it for you." He then spoke a verse:
