English version They went to the country of Kosala, to King Prasenajit (胜光王). Upon arriving at the king's place, they reported to the king, saying: 'Your Majesty should know that in this country, there used to be a lot of trade, but now, because of the bandits, merchants are not coming.' At that time, King Prasenajit ordered his general, named Virudhaka (毗卢宅迦): 'You must quickly go and capture the bandits, and bring the stolen goods to me.' At that time, the general led four types of troops, including brave soldiers, elephants, horses, and infantry, to the wilderness forest where the bandits were. Those bandits gathered in the dangerous forest, put down their weapons, and divided the stolen goods. At this time, the general saw the bandits from afar, and deployed troops on all sides. As soon as the war drums sounded, the bandits were terrified. Some fled, some were harmed, some were killed, and some were captured alive. The general collected the stolen goods and all the bandits, and returned to the king, reporting: 'These are the bandits and the stolen goods.' At that time, King Prasenajit told everyone: 'Each of you should claim your own belongings.' After the merchants claimed their goods, the Tirthikas (外道) also took their own belongings and clothes dyed with red stone, and even took the Bhikkhus' (苾刍) robes and bowls. At this time, the Bhikkhus arrived at the king's place later, and the king said: 'You should also claim your robes and bowls.' The Bhikkhus replied: 'Our robes and bowls are not among these goods.' The king said: 'Weren't you robbed by the bandits earlier?' They replied: 'We were also robbed.' The king said: 'If not, you should call those Tirthikas and have them bring the clothes they claimed.' At that time, those Tirthikas, hearing the king's summons, came with the clothes. The Bhikkhus, seeing the clothes, said: 'This is my Samghati (僧伽胝, outer robe), this is my Samkakshika (僧脚敧, shoulder covering).' The king said to the Tirthikas: 'They are petty thieves, you are big thieves, forcibly claiming other people's clothes.' The Tirthikas were silent. The king said: 'Venerable ones! Do you have any marks on your clothes? Let me know which are the Tirthikas' and which are the Bhikkhus'.' The Bhikkhus replied: 'Our clothes have no marks.' The Bhikkhus reported this matter to the Buddha (佛). The Buddha said: 'Bhikkhus' clothes should be marked.' (The Bhikkhus) did not know what to do. The Buddha said: 'You should tie knots, make marks with ink, or use other marks, and then keep the clothes.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

佛在室罗伐城。有一长者,娶妻未久诞生一息,其妻身死更娶后妻,未久之间复生一子。其第二子为母所苦,于善法律情希出家,既出家已游历人间。其父后时遇遭重病,定知将死,命长子曰:“我所有财应作三分。”子承父命遂即分三。便报子言:“此是汝分用充家业,一分属吾以供葬事,余之一分与出家子。”便自叹曰: “积聚皆消散, 崇高必堕落; 会合终别离, 有命咸归死。” 说是语已遂即命终。其出家子闻父身亡,即到兄所孔怀相见,两共哀号问讯既终。兄乃告曰:“父亡之日先有遗言,留一分财可宜收取。”苾刍念曰:“如世尊说:‘死后当与此非法财。’”时诸苾刍以缘白佛,佛言:“凡在家者命欲终时有攀缘心,如是施财并宜收取,父分与财勿生疑虑。既受财已,于三宝中而兴供养。其出家者临终之日无顾恋心,若言:‘我死后与。’者,如是之财即不应取。” 缘处同前。有二苾刍共为亲友,言谈得意同处而居。时一苾刍人间游行随缘施化,于本房中及经行等处,忘遗衣物并齿木土屑。时彼亲友为收举已,遂起疑心即往白佛,佛言:“收取无犯。然而亲友有其五种。云何为五?一者相爱,二者心喜,三者师长,四者得意,五者彼闻用物情生悦乐。如斯五种听许收 现代汉语译本 佛陀在室罗伐城(Śrāvastī,古印度城市)的时候,有一位长者,娶妻不久生了一个儿子,他的妻子去世后又娶了后妻,不久后又生了一个儿子。第二个儿子被他的母亲虐待,渴望在善良的法律和情感中出家,出家后游历人间。他的父亲后来得了重病,知道自己快要死了,就命令大儿子说:‘我所有的财产应该分成三份。’儿子遵从父亲的命令,立即分成了三份。父亲便告诉儿子说:‘这是你的那份,用来充实家业,一份属于我,用来办理丧事,剩下的一份给那个出家的儿子。’然后自己叹息道: ‘积聚终将消散, 崇高必定堕落; 会合终会别离, 有生命者都将归于死亡。’ 说完这些话,他就去世了。那个出家的儿子听说父亲去世了,就到他哥哥那里,兄弟之间深切地思念和见面,两人一起哀号问候完毕。哥哥就告诉他说:‘父亲去世那天,事先留下了遗言,留下一份财产可以收取。’这位比丘(bhikṣu,佛教出家男众)心想:‘正如世尊(释迦牟尼佛的尊称)所说:‘死后应当给予这种非法的财产。’’当时,各位比丘将此事禀告佛陀,佛陀说:‘凡是在家的人,临终时都有攀缘之心,像这样施舍的财产都可以收取,对于父亲分给的财产不要产生疑虑。接受了财产后,要在三宝(佛、法、僧)中进行供养。那些出家的人,临终时没有顾恋之心,如果说:‘我死后给予。’像这样的财产就不应该收取。’ 事情发生的地点和之前一样。有两位比丘是好朋友,他们谈话投机,住在一起。当时,一位比丘在人间随缘布施化缘,在本房间里以及经行的地方,忘记遗留了衣物和牙签土屑。他的朋友替他收拾起来后,产生了疑虑,就去禀告佛陀,佛陀说:‘收取没有罪过。然而,朋友有五种。哪五种呢?一是相爱,二是心生欢喜,三是师长,四是得意,五是听到使用物品而心生喜悦。’像这五种情况,允许收取。

English version The Buddha was in Śrāvastī (ancient Indian city). There was an elder who, not long after marrying, had a son. His wife died, and he remarried. Not long after, he had another son. The second son was tormented by his mother and longed to renounce the world under the good law and with good intentions. After renouncing the world, he traveled among people. Later, his father fell seriously ill, knowing he was about to die, and ordered his eldest son, 'All my property should be divided into three parts.' The son obeyed his father's command and immediately divided it into three parts. The father then told his son, 'This is your share, to enrich the family business. One share belongs to me, to pay for the funeral arrangements, and the remaining share goes to the son who has renounced the world.' Then he sighed and said: 'Accumulations will eventually dissipate, High positions will surely fall; Meetings will ultimately lead to separation, All who have life will return to death.' After saying these words, he passed away. The son who had renounced the world heard of his father's death and went to his brother's place. The brothers deeply missed each other and met. They mourned together and exchanged greetings. The brother then told him, 'On the day of our father's death, he left a will beforehand, leaving a share of the property that can be collected.' The bhikṣu (Buddhist monk) thought, 'As the World-Honored One (a title of respect for Śākyamuni Buddha) said, 'After death, this unlawful property should be given.'' At that time, the bhikṣus reported this matter to the Buddha. The Buddha said, 'Whenever a person at home is about to die, they have clinging thoughts. Property given in this way can be collected. Do not have doubts about the property given by the father. After receiving the property, make offerings to the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha). Those who have renounced the world have no attachment at the time of death. If they say, 'Give it after my death,' such property should not be taken.' The location of the event is the same as before. There were two bhikṣus who were close friends. They enjoyed talking to each other and lived together. At that time, one bhikṣu was giving and begging for alms among people, and in his room and in the places where he walked, he forgot and left behind clothes, toothpicks, and soil debris. After his friend picked them up for him, he became suspicious and went to report to the Buddha. The Buddha said, 'Picking them up is not a transgression. However, there are five kinds of friends. What are the five? First, those who love each other; second, those who are happy at heart; third, teachers; fourth, those who are content; fifth, those who are happy to hear about the use of things.' In these five situations, it is permissible to collect them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 用。”

缘处同前。时有长者,娶妻未久诞生一女,年既长大便舍俗累,于佛法中而为出家。时属饥俭乞求难得,巡门乞食渐至父家,父见女来即前问曰:“圣女!尔于今者云何济命?”便报父曰:“乞食巡门实诚难得,虽经辛苦亦不充虚,饥火所烧甚难堪忍。”父闻斯语惨然不悦,便告女曰:“尔若在家不出家者,设无怜爱终须供给;从今已往每日可来家中受食。”既受请已,便于他日复将一伴来诣父舍,受其请食,父报女言:“我今无力能济二人,宜可独来而取于食。”女报父言:“世尊不许一女独行,佛若许者不遭斯苦。”时苾刍尼具以上事白诸苾刍,苾刍以缘白佛,佛言:“若时饥俭乞求难得不充济者,听苾刍尼从众乞法,于父母舍而作往还。应如是乞,敷座席鸣揵稚,言白既周,尼众集已,时乞法尼先从上座次第礼僧,于众首前合掌恭敬蹲踞而住,应如是乞:‘大德尼僧伽听!我苾刍尼某甲,今逢俭岁饮食难得,若无饮食不能存济。我某甲今从尼僧伽,乞于亲族边作往还住止羯磨。愿尼僧伽与我某甲于亲族边作往还住止羯磨,是能愍者愿哀愍故。’第二、第三亦如是说,羯磨白二准此应作,如百一中说。若苾刍尼,大众为作与诸俗亲往还羯磨竟,此苾刍尼得独行无犯,往亲族家随意而食。复至丰时即 不应往,如独往者得越法罪。” 第八子摄颂曰: 赊取他衣去, 及为他和市, 不高下买衣, 应二三酬价。 缘处同前。时有苾刍,于俗人处赊买他衣,将至寺内遂即身亡。时彼衣主既闻消息,急诣寺中告诸人曰:“某甲苾刍今何所在?”苾刍答曰:“彼已身死。”衣主告曰:“彼于我处赊取衣来,今可还直。”苾刍报曰:“仁今可去,诣彼尸林,随索衣直。”衣主报曰:“所有衣钵仁等共分,遣向林中从尸索债,如何释子欺诳于人。”时诸苾刍以缘白佛,佛言:“苾刍身死,所有衣钵,应还衣价。”复有苾刍,于俗人处赊取贵衣,乃至苾刍身亡之后,是时衣主来至寺中问言:“某甲苾刍今何所在?”答曰:“彼已身亡。”衣主告曰:“其人我处赊取衣来。”时诸苾刍还将本衣却付,衣主报言:“彼所将物是贵价衣,今此相还全无所直。”时诸苾刍不知云何?以缘白佛,佛言:“应随现前所有之物可充衣价。应告彼言:‘其人已死,现有斯物,今以相还宜生欢喜。’”时有二居士共为交易,一人问曰:“此衣几价?”衣主答曰:“二十迦利沙波拏。”买衣人曰:“我今酬汝十迦利沙波拏。”时邬波难陀来至其所,彼之二人作如是念:“诸大苾刍出言决定,我等宜应请断其价。”二人共问 现代汉语译本: ‘不应该前往,如果独自前往,会触犯越法罪。’ 第八子摄颂说: ‘赊欠别人的衣服,以及为他人到市场买东西,不要抬高或压低价格买衣服,应该按照二到三倍的价格酬谢。’ 事情的起因和地点与之前相同。当时有位比丘,从俗人那里赊购了他人的衣服,带到寺庙后就去世了。当时那位卖衣服的人听到消息后,急忙赶到寺庙,告诉众人说:‘某某比丘现在在哪里?’比丘们回答说:‘他已经去世了。’卖衣服的人说:‘他从我这里赊购了衣服,现在应该还钱。’比丘们回答说:‘您可以去尸林,向他的尸体索要衣钱。’卖衣服的人说:‘所有的衣物和钵你们一起分了,让我去林中向尸体索债,怎么能这样欺骗人呢?’当时众比丘将此事禀告佛陀,佛陀说:‘比丘去世后,所有的衣物和钵,应该用来偿还衣价。’ 又有比丘,从俗人那里赊购了昂贵的衣服,直到比丘去世之后,卖衣服的人来到寺庙询问说:‘某某比丘现在在哪里?’回答说:‘他已经去世了。’卖衣服的人说:‘他从我这里赊购了衣服。’当时众比丘将原本的衣服还给他,卖衣服的人说:‘他拿走的是昂贵的衣服,现在还回来的这些根本不值钱。’当时众比丘不知道该怎么办,将此事禀告佛陀,佛陀说:‘应该用现有的所有物品来充当衣价。应该告诉他说:‘那个人已经死了,现在只有这些东西,现在还给你,你应该感到高兴。’ 当时有两个居士一起做交易,一个人问:‘这件衣服多少钱?’卖衣服的人回答说:‘二十迦利沙波拏(一种货币单位)。’买衣服的人说:‘我现在给你十迦利沙波拏。’当时邬波难陀(比丘名)来到他们那里,那两个人这样想:‘各位大比丘说的话很肯定,我们应该请他来评定价格。’两个人一起问

English version: ‘One should not go; if one goes alone, one commits a transgression of the law.’ The eighth section of verses says: ‘Borrowing clothes from others, and going to the market to buy things for others, do not raise or lower the price of clothes, one should repay two or three times the price.’ The circumstances and location are the same as before. At that time, there was a Bhikshu (Buddhist monk) who bought clothes on credit from a layman (secular person), brought them to the temple, and then died. When the clothes seller heard the news, he rushed to the temple and told everyone, ‘Where is so-and-so Bhikshu now?’ The Bhikshus replied, ‘He has passed away.’ The clothes seller said, ‘He bought clothes from me on credit, and now you should repay the money.’ The Bhikshus replied, ‘You can go to the charnel ground (cemetery) and ask his corpse for the money for the clothes.’ The clothes seller said, ‘You can divide all the robes and bowls among yourselves, and ask me to go to the forest to demand debts from a corpse. How can you monks deceive people like this?’ At that time, the Bhikshus reported this matter to the Buddha (enlightened one), and the Buddha said, ‘After the Bhikshu dies, all the robes and bowls should be used to repay the price of the clothes.’ Again, there was a Bhikshu who bought expensive clothes on credit from a layman. After the Bhikshu died, the clothes seller came to the temple and asked, ‘Where is so-and-so Bhikshu now?’ They replied, ‘He has passed away.’ The clothes seller said, ‘He bought clothes from me on credit.’ At that time, the Bhikshus returned the original clothes to him, but the clothes seller said, ‘What he took was expensive clothes, and what you are returning now is worthless.’ At that time, the Bhikshus did not know what to do and reported this matter to the Buddha. The Buddha said, ‘All the existing items should be used to cover the price of the clothes. You should tell him, ‘That person has died, and these are the only things left. We are returning them to you now, and you should be happy.’ At that time, two laymen were doing business together. One person asked, ‘How much does this piece of clothing cost?’ The clothes seller replied, ‘Twenty Karishapanas (a unit of currency).’ The buyer said, ‘I will give you ten Karishapanas now.’ At that time, Upa-Nanda (name of a Bhikshu) came to them, and the two of them thought, ‘The words of the great Bhikshus are definitive, we should ask him to determine the price.’ The two of them asked together --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
