昔羅閱祇城。有長者。名曰須檀。大富多財。子名須摩提。其父命終。弟名修耶舍摩提。設計不與弟分。念當殺之。兄語弟言。共詣耆闍崛山上有所論說。即執弟手上至絕崖。便推置底以石垖之。便即命絕。須檀者則真淨父王是也。時須摩提者則我身是。修耶舍者則今陀婆達兜是(出興起行經下卷)。
In ancient times in the city of Rājagṛha, there was an elder named Sudhana, who was very rich with abundant wealth. His son was named Sumati. When their father died, the younger brother was named Yaśomati. [The elder brother] devised a plan not to divide the property with the younger brother, thinking that he should kill him. The elder brother said to the younger brother, "Let us go together to the top of Gṛdhrakūṭa Mountain to discuss something." He then took his younger brother by the hand and went up to a precipitous cliff, whereupon he pushed him to the bottom and crushed him with stones, so that he immediately died. Sudhana was the true father King Śuddhodana; Sumati was myself; and Yaśomati was the present Devadatta. (Extracted from the lower fascicle of the Sūtra on the Origin of Practices)
