Ekottaragama (Sanskrit fragments) 13.1.8

13.1.8

「修羅陀比丘大作阿練若行；到時乞食，一處一坐，或正中食，樹下露坐，樂閑居之處，著五納衣，或持三衣，或樂塚間，懃身苦行，行此頭陀。

It was then that the Bhagavān addressed the monks, “Someone taking profit is a serious thing, not an easy thing, for it prevents a person from reaching the unconditioned state. Why is that? If that monk Surādha hadn’t been greedy for profit, he never would have renounced the three Dharma robes and returned to being a householder. The monk Surādha had been a great forest-dweller who solicited alms when the time arrived. He would dwell in one place for one sitting, and he sometimes ate at midday. He would sit under a tree or on open ground, and he was happy living in a secluded placed. He wore the five-peice robe, and sometimes he kept three garments. Sometimes, he enjoyed being in a charnel ground. He applied himself to such hardship as he performed these ascetic practices.
