1At Sāvatthī.
“Possessions, honor, and popularity are brutal …
Devadatta caused a schism in the Saṅgha because his mind was overcome and overwhelmed by possessions, honor, and popularity.
So brutal are possessions, honor, and popularity. …”

Lābhasakkārasilokena abhibhūto pariyādiṇṇacitto, bhikkhave, devadatto saṅghaṁ bhindi.
Evaṁ dāruṇo kho, bhikkhave, lābhasakkārasiloko … pe … sikkhitabban"ti.
