Dharmaguptaka-vinaya 14.26

14.26

爾時佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。時有一女名伽若那，先住大村，來至欝禪國中與人作婦，經歷數月遂便有娠，即還父母家。有諸比丘來至其家乞食者，身自持食若果施諸比丘。後於異時，其夫遣使呼婦還家，其婦出報使言：「小留住，我今方欲辦具飲食莊嚴衣服然後共往。」時有諸比丘來至其家乞食。時女見之，即復以所辦飲食盡施與比丘。白言：「大德！可食是食。」爾時諸比丘盡取食之無有遺餘。其婦在後方更莊嚴，未還之間，其夫已更取婦，遣使語其婦言：「我今已更取婦，欲來不來便隨卿意。」伽若那父聞之，往至僧伽藍中，諸比丘見已語言：「汝女伽若那篤信。好喜布施。」其父報言：「如諸尊言實有篤信，但為今日婦人所不喜者今日得之。」諸比丘問言：「何所得耶？」其父報言：「其夫已更取婦。」爾時波羅㮈城門外，眾多商賈車伴共止宿。時有一乞食比丘，到時著衣持鉢，入此賈客營中乞食。爾時彼比丘以次行乞，漸漸往至一信樂商賈主前默然立住，商主問言：「尊今何故在此？」比丘報言：「我乞食。」即語言：「過鉢來。」時比丘即授鉢與，賈客取鉢盛滿美好飲食與。時乞食比丘持食出營，未遠復有一乞食比丘來入車營乞食，問得食比丘：「乞食可得不？」報言：「可得。」復問：「從誰得耶？」報言：「從某甲賈客所得。」爾時乞食比丘往至賈客前默然而立。賈客問言：「何故在此？」比丘報言：「我今乞食。」賈客語言：「過鉢來。」時彼比丘即授鉢與，賈客取鉢盛滿美好飲食授與比丘。比丘得已還出車營，去營未遠復有一乞食比丘來詣車營乞食，問言：「乞食可得不？」答言：「可得。」復問：「從誰得耶？」報言：「從某甲賈客所得。」如是相告，乃至令他食盡。時商主方入波羅㮈城更市糴糧食，諸伴已去在後不及，道路為賊所劫。諸比丘聞，其中有少欲知足、行頭陀、樂學戒、知慚愧者，嫌責諸比丘言：「云何比丘食他歸婦食、商賈道路食，具令盡無餘？」時諸比丘往至世尊所，頭面禮足在一面坐，以此因緣具白世尊。世尊爾時集比丘僧，呵責諸比丘：「汝所為非，非威儀、非沙門法、非淨行、非隨順行、所不應為。云何，諸比丘！食他歸婦食、商賈道路糧，令盡無餘？」爾時世尊以無數方便呵責彼比丘已，告諸比丘：「此諸比丘癡人！多種有漏處，最初犯戒。自今已去與比丘結戒，集十句義乃至正法久住，欲說戒者當如是說：若比丘至白衣家，請比丘與食若餅、若[麩-夫+少]，比丘若須二、三鉢應受，受已還至僧伽藍中，分與諸比丘食。若過兩三鉢受，還至僧伽藍中不分與諸比丘食者，波逸提。」如是世尊與諸比丘結戒。

At that time, the Buddha was staying in Śrāvastī at the Jetavana Anāthapiṇḍadārāma. At that time, there was a woman named Jñānā. She had previously lived in a large village and came to the country of Ujjayinī to become someone’s wife. After several months had passed, she became pregnant, whereupon she returned to her parents' home. When bhikṣus came to her house to beg for food, she herself brought food or fruits and offered them to the bhikṣus. Later, at another time, her husband sent a messenger to call the wife back home. The wife came out and told the messenger: “Stay a little while; I am just now preparing food and drink and adorning my clothes, after which we will go together.” At that time, bhikṣus came to her house to beg for food. Seeing them, the woman once again offered all the food and drink she had prepared to the bhikṣus, saying: “Venerables! You may eat this food.” At that time, the bhikṣus took it all and ate it without leaving anything behind. The woman was behind them, further adorning herself. Before she had returned, her husband had already taken another wife and sent a messenger to tell the wife: “I have now already taken another wife; whether you wish to come or not is entirely up to you.” Jñānā's father heard this and went to the saṅghārāma. When the bhikṣus saw him, they said to him: “Your daughter Jñānā has sincere faith and delights in giving.” The father answered: “Just as the venerables say, she truly has sincere faith; but today, what a woman dislikes, she has obtained today.” The bhikṣus asked: “What has she obtained?” The father answered: “Her husband has already taken another wife.” At that time, outside the city gates of Vārāṇasī, many merchants and their caravan were lodging together. At that time, there was a bhikṣu who begged for food. When the time came, he put on his robes, took his bowl, and entered this merchant caravan camp to beg for food. At that time, that bhikṣu begged successively in order, gradually proceeding before a caravan leader endowed with faithful joy, and stood silently. The caravan leader asked: “Venerable, for what reason are you here now?” The bhikṣu answered: “I am begging for food.” [The leader] then said: “Hand over your bowl.” Then the bhikṣu handed over his bowl, and the merchant took the bowl, filled it with fine food and drink, and gave it to him. At that time, the begging bhikṣu took the food and walked out of the camp. Before he had gone far, another begging bhikṣu came into the caravan camp to beg for food and asked the bhikṣu who had obtained food: “Is it possible to obtain food by begging?” He answered: “It is possible to obtain [it].” He asked again: “From whom did you obtain it?” He answered: “I obtained it from a certain merchant.” At that time, the begging bhikṣu went before the merchant and stood silently. The merchant asked: “For what reason are you here?” The bhikṣu answered: “I am now begging for food.” The merchant said: “Hand over your bowl.” Then that bhikṣu handed over his bowl, and the merchant took the bowl, filled it with fine food and drink, and gave it to the bhikṣu. When the bhikṣu had obtained it, he walked back out of the caravan camp. Before he had gone far from the camp, another begging bhikṣu came to the caravan camp to beg for food and asked: “Is it possible to obtain food by begging?” He answered: “It is possible to obtain [it].” He asked again: “From whom did you obtain it?” He answered: “I obtained it from a certain merchant.” In this way they informed one another, even causing his food to be exhausted. Then, when the caravan leader entered the city of Vārāṇasī to purchase provisions again, the other companions had already departed, and falling behind, he could not catch up and was robbed on the road by bandits. The bhikṣus heard about this, and among them, those who had few desires and knew contentment, practiced the dhūtas, delighted in studying the precepts, and had a sense of shame and conscience, reproached the bhikṣus, saying: “How could bhikṣus eat the food of another’s returning wife and the provisions for the road of merchants, making them completely depleted without remainder?” Then the bhikṣus went to the Bhagavat, bowed their heads at his feet, and sat to one side, reporting this matter in full to the Bhagavat. The Bhagavat then assembled the bhikṣu-saṅgha and rebuked the bhikṣus: “What you did is improper; it is not deportment, not the Dharma of a śramaṇa, not pure conduct, not compliant conduct, and something that should not be done. How, bhikṣus, could you eat the food of another’s returning wife and the provisions for the road of merchants, causing them to be exhausted without remainder?” At that time, after the Bhagavat had rebuked those bhikṣus by countless means, he addressed the bhikṣus: “These bhikṣus are foolish men! They have multiple points of āsrava and are the first to break the precepts. From now on, I lay down this precept for the bhikṣus, collecting the ten objectives up to the long endurance of the true Dharma. When one wishes to recite the precepts, one should recite them thus: If a bhikṣu goes to the house of a white-clothed [layperson], and they invite the bhikṣu and give him food, whether cakes or parched grain, if the bhikṣu needs it, he should accept two or three bowls; having accepted it, he should return to the saṅghārāma and share it with the bhikṣus to eat. If he accepts more than two or three bowls, returns to the saṅghārāma, and does not share it with the bhikṣus to eat, it is a pāyattika.” Thus did the Bhagavat lay down the precept for the bhikṣus.
