6.25

爾時世尊告大王言:「舍衛城中須達長者,有一老母名毘低羅,謹勤家業,長者勅使守執庫鑰,出內取與一切委之。須達長者請佛及僧,供給所須。時病比丘多所求索,老母慳貪瞋嫌佛法及與眾僧,而作是言:『我家長者愚癡迷惑受沙門術,是諸乞士多求無厭,何道之有?』作是語已復發惡願:『何時當得不聞佛名、不聞僧名、不見剃髮染衣之人?』如是惡聲一人聞已,復聞二人,展轉遍滿舍衛城中。

At that time, the Bhagavat told the great king: 'In the city of Śrāvastī, the elder Sudatta had an old mother named Pitilā who diligently managed the household affairs. The elder instructed her to keep the keys to the storehouses, entrusting all receiving, storing, taking out, and giving to her. The elder Sudatta invited the Buddha and the Saṅgha, supplying what was needed. At that time, a sick bhikṣu requested many things. The old mother, being stingy, became angry and resentful toward the Buddhadharma and the Saṅgha, and said: "The elder of our house is deluded and foolish, accepting the tricks of the śramaṇas. These mendicants demand much without satiety; what path do they possess?" Having spoken these words, she further made an evil vow: "When will I be able not to hear the Buddha's name, not to hear the Saṅgha's name, and not to see anyone who shaves their hair and dyes their clothes?" When one person heard these evil words, a second heard them, and gradually they spread throughout the city of Śrāvastī.
