Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:

“Ekadhammo, bhikkhave, loke uppajjamāno uppajjati bahujanāhitāya bahujanāsukhāya bahuno janassa anatthāya ahitāya dukkhāya devamanussānaṁ.
Katamo ekadhammo?
Saṅghabhedo.
Saṅghe kho pana, bhikkhave, bhinne aññamaññaṁ bhaṇḍanāni ceva honti, aññamaññaṁ paribhāsā ca honti, aññamaññaṁ parikkhepā ca honti, aññamaññaṁ pariccajanā ca honti.
Tattha appasannā ceva nappasīdanti, pasannānañca ekaccānaṁ aññathattaṁ hotī”ti.
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca.
Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Āpāyiko nerayiko,
Kappaṭṭho saṅghabhedako;
Vaggārāmo adhammaṭṭho,
Yogakkhemā padhaṁsati;
Saṅghaṁ samaggaṁ bhetvāna,
Kappaṁ nirayamhi paccatī”ti.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
Aṭṭhamaṁ.
