菩薩從兜術天降神母胎說廣普經 7.37

7.37

「吾昔所行無數生中作轉輪聖王，無數生中作天帝釋，無數生中作梵天王。奉持賢聖八關齋法度難救厄，設四天下滿中火焰譬如劫燒，一心歸命稱如來名，持八關齋法投身入火焰不能燒，若滿中水水不能溺，八關齋者諸佛父母。」

"In my past practices through countless births, I was a wheel-turning sage king; through countless births, I was Śakra, king of the gods; through countless births, I was a Brahmā king. Upholding the noble eightfold poṣadha precepts, I crossed over difficulties and rescued those in distress. Even if the four continents were filled with blazing flames like the conflagration at the end of a kalpa, if one single-mindedly takes refuge, calls upon the name of the Tathāgata, and upholds the eightfold poṣadha precepts, though one throws oneself into the flames, they cannot burn; if filled with water, the water cannot drown. The eightfold poṣadha precepts are the father and mother of all Buddhas."
