佛說處處經 1.51

1.51

佛言：「癡人所作顛倒，非諸佛法。調達自意念言：『我當飛去，人見我飛悉當隨事我。』因欲飛去，便不能復飛。調達不能自覺亡神足時，即有婆羅門行等心，便從第一天上來下語舍利弗：『調達以亡神足。』」佛語舍利弗：「調達欲呼汝，重令得罪。」佛語天言：「調達未得神足，我知當亡之。何況至今？」佛言：「人不當貪，調達但坐貪故，亡失神足。」

The Buddha said: 'What foolish people do is inverted; it is not the Dharma of the Buddhas. Devadatta thought to himself: "I shall fly away; when people see me flying, they will all follow and serve me." When he tried to fly away, he could no longer fly. While Devadatta was unaware that he had lost his riddhipāda, a brāhmaṇa practicing the immeasurable mind came down from the first heaven and said to Śāriputra: "Devadatta has already lost his riddhipāda." The Buddha said to Śāriputra: 'Devadatta wished to summon you, but that only caused him to incur greater transgression.' The Buddha said to the deva: 'Before Devadatta had even attained riddhipāda, I knew he would lose it; how much more so up to the present?' The Buddha said: 'A person should not be greedy; Devadatta lost his riddhipāda merely because of greed.'
