聞如是：一時，佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園時，與千二百五十比丘，菩薩萬人，天龍八部悉來在會，咸然一心叉手聽法。於是異道有鹿頭梵志，來到佛所稽首作禮，胡跪合掌白佛言：「久聞瞿曇名聲遠振，今欲捨置異學，受三自歸并五戒法。」
Thus, I have heard. At one time, the Buddha was residing at Śrāvasti, in the Jeta Grove, in the Garden of the Benefactor of Orphans and the Solitary, surrounded by an assembly of twelve hundred and fifty bhikṣus, ten thousand bodhisattvas, and all the celestial beings and members of the eightfold divisions. With their palms joined in reverence, they all listened to the Dharma single-mindedly.
At that time, a Brahmin named Deer-Head from a different path came to the Buddha, bowed, and respectfully said, “I have long heard of Gautama’s far-reaching reputation. Today, I wish to abandon my previous practices, take the three refuges, and receive the five precepts.”
佛言：「善哉，善哉！梵志！汝能捨置餘道歸命我者，當自悔過生死之罪，其劫無量不可稱計。」
梵志言：「諾！受教。」即淨身口意，復作是念：「惟願世尊，施我法戒，終身奉行不敢毀缺。」
The Buddha replied, “Excellent, excellent! Brahmin! If you can forsake other paths and take refuge in me, you should first repent for your past wrongdoings, which are countless and beyond measure when you underwent rounds of birth and death.”
The Brahmin said, “Yes, I accept your teaching.” He then purified his body, speech, and mind and further reflected: “I sincerely request the World-Honored One to bestow upon me the precepts, which I will uphold for life without blemishing or violating them.”
佛言：「是為如來、至真、等正覺三世諸佛說是戒法。」
佛言：「梵志！諦聽諦受，心持念之。」
The Buddha said, “This is the precept Dharma spoken by all the Buddhas of the three times, the Tathāgatas, the True Ones, the Completely Enlightened Ones.”
The Buddha said, “Brahmin! Listen carefully, accept earnestly, and uphold it in your heart and mind.”
又言：「梵志！盡形壽，歸命諸佛無上尊；盡形壽，歸命法離欲尊；盡形壽，歸命僧眾中尊。」
He also said, “Brahmin! For your entire life, take refuge in the Buddhas, the supremely honored ones; for your entire life, take refuge in the Dharma, honored teaching to end desire; for your entire life, take refuge in the Sangha, honored among all the multitudes.”
佛言：「梵志！以三自歸竟，是為真正弟子，不為邪惡之所忓嬈。」
佛言：「梵志！汝能一心受三自歸已，我當為汝及十方人，勅天帝釋所遣諸鬼神，以護男子女人輩受三歸者。」
The Buddha said, “Brahmin! By taking the three refuges, you become a true disciple and will not be troubled by evil forces.”
The Buddha continued, “Brahmin! If you can wholeheartedly accept the three refuges, I will, for you and all beings in the ten directions, command the deities and spirits sent by Lord Śakra to protect those men and women who take these three refuges.”
梵志因問佛言：「何等是也？願欲聞之，開化十方諸受歸者。」
佛言：「如是灌頂善神，今當為汝略說三十六。」
The Brahmin then asked the Buddha, “Who are they? I wish to hear their names to guide and teach all those who take the three refuges throughout the ten directions.”
The Buddha said, “As for these virtuous deities who attend this ceremony for initiation, I will now briefly explain thirty-six of them for you.”
