更出，若大天神，夜忽如昼。时佛晡时从宴坐起，如月宫殿振大光明，则以覆蔽诸日月光，譬如大炬照于闇冥。佛在弟子众中，威神光明，亦复如是，为诸比丘，讲说经法，如转轮王，与诸子眷属俱，与无央数众比丘俱。吾尔时观死不睹见诸比丘众，无能受者，无能为师，唯独如来，将出世间，兴隆道化，而取灭度，今诸比丘，故来问我。” 尔时，世尊告迦叶曰：“多有比丘，不了善恶，觉与不觉，不解福田，诸法之处多有义理，是说第一，迦叶最尊；不以贡高，平等无忧，寂诸四事诸欲之凶，第一成就，受具足戒。” 佛说如是，贤者迦叶，及诸比丘莫不欢喜。 佛说大迦叶本经 现代汉语译本： 更出，就像大天神一样，夜晚忽然变得如同白昼。当时佛陀在晡时（下午三点左右）从宴坐中起身，如同月宫殿般发出巨大的光明，这光明甚至覆盖了所有日月的光芒，就像巨大的火炬照亮黑暗一样。佛陀在弟子众中，威严神圣的光明也是如此，为众比丘讲说经法，如同转轮圣王，与众子眷属在一起，与无数的比丘在一起。当时观死（观察死亡）却看不到比丘众中，没有能够接受教法的人，没有能够成为导师的人，只有如来（佛陀的称号），将要出世间，兴盛佛法教化，然后入灭，所以众比丘才来问我。” 当时，世尊告诉迦叶（佛陀十大弟子之一）说：‘有很多比丘，不明白什么是善什么是恶，什么是觉悟什么是不觉悟，不了解什么是福田（指行善积德之处），诸法之处有很多义理，这是说第一，迦叶最尊贵；不因为贡高自满，平等没有忧愁，寂静了四事（指四种烦恼）和各种欲望的凶险，第一成就，受了具足戒（佛教最高的戒律）。’ 佛陀说了这些话，贤者迦叶以及众比丘没有不欢喜的。 佛说大迦叶本经

English version: Moreover, it was like a great deity, suddenly turning night into day. At that time, the Buddha arose from meditation at twilight, emitting great light like the lunar palace, which even covered the light of the sun and moon, like a great torch illuminating the darkness. The Buddha, among his disciples, possessed such majestic and divine light, preaching the scriptures to the monks, like a Chakravartin (Universal Ruler), together with his sons and retinue, and countless monks. At that time, observing death, I did not see among the assembly of monks anyone capable of receiving the teachings, anyone capable of being a teacher, only the Tathagata (another name for the Buddha), who will emerge from the world, promote the Dharma, and then enter Nirvana (state of enlightenment), which is why the monks come to ask me.’ Then, the World-Honored One said to Kashyapa (one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha): ‘Many monks do not understand good and evil, awareness and unawareness, do not understand the field of merit (referring to places where good deeds are cultivated), there are many meanings in the realm of all dharmas, this is said to be the foremost, Kashyapa is the most venerable; without arrogance, equal and without sorrow, pacifying the dangers of the four matters (referring to the four types of afflictions) and various desires, achieving the first accomplishment, having received the full ordination (the highest precepts in Buddhism).’ When the Buddha spoke thus, the worthy Kashyapa and all the monks were delighted.
