梵志於是心即開解。遂得道跡。長跪受戒為清信士。不殺不盜。不婬不欺。奉孝不醉。歡喜為佛作禮而去。故書云。五色令人目盲。五音令人耳聾。五味令人口爽。大怒傷陰。大喜敗陽。麗色伐性之斧。美味腐身之毒。能悟此旨。斯為大師也。

Thereupon, the brahmacārin's mind was immediately opened and awakened, and he consequently attained the traces of the Way. Kneeling upright, he received the precepts and became a pure layman: not killing, not stealing, not engaging in sexual misconduct, not deceiving, revering filial piety, and not becoming intoxicated. Rejoicing, he paid homage to the Buddha and departed. Therefore the book says: 'The five colors make one's eyes blind; the five tones make one's ears deaf; the five flavors make one's mouth lose taste.' Great anger harms yin; great joy ruins yang. Fair beauty is an axe that fells nature; delicious flavors are poisons that rot the body. One who can comprehend this purport is indeed a great master.
