コーサンビー近郊で遍歴行者サンダカを訪ねたアーナンダが、道徳的行為の価値を否定するか、努力なしに解脱が自然に起こると主張する四つの邪説を説明し、その後仏陀が四禅を経て悟りに至った道を述べ、サンダカとその弟子たちが仏陀を師として受け入れるジャータカ

A discourse in which Ānanda, visiting the wanderer Sandaka near Kosambī, expounds four false teachings that deny the value of ethical conduct or claim liberation is inevitable regardless of effort, then describes the Buddha’s own path through the four absorptions, leading Sandaka and his followers to accept the Buddha as teacher.
