15.34
爾時佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。時舍衛城中有一豪族長者,與跋難陀釋子知舊親友,彼作如是念言:「若跋難陀釋子來入此城者,當為跋難陀故飯食眾僧。」於異時跋難陀釋子來入城中,長者聞來至,即遣人詣僧伽藍中,語諸比丘:「明日請食。」即於其夜辦具種種甘饌飲食,明日清旦往白時到。時諸比丘到時著衣持鉢,詣長者家就座而坐,諸比丘語長者言:「眾僧已集,飲食辦者可時施設。」長者報言:「諸尊小留待,須跋難陀釋子至。」諸比丘報言:「眾僧已集,若飲食已辦者便可施設。何須留待?日時晚過,恐諸比丘不得具足滿食。」時長者白諸比丘:「我先有誓願,若跋難陀釋子來入此城者,我當為跋難陀釋子飯食眾僧,願諸尊小留待跋難陀。」爾時跋難陀小食時乃更詣餘家,日時垂欲過方來。時諸比丘見時欲過,雖得飲食竟不滿足。其中有少欲知足、行頭陀、樂學戒、知慚愧者,嫌責跋難陀釋子:「云何跋難陀釋子,小食時更詣餘家,時垂欲過方來,使諸比丘飲食不得滿足耶?」爾時諸比丘往至世尊所,頭面禮足已在一面坐,以此因緣具白世尊。世尊以此因緣集比丘僧,以無數方便呵責跋難陀釋子:「汝所為非,非威儀、非沙門法、非淨行、非隨順行,所不應為。云何,跋難陀釋子!小食時到餘,家時欲過方來,使諸比丘不得滿足食耶?」世尊以無數方便呵責跋難陀釋子已,告諸比丘:「此癡人!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:若比丘先受請,小食時至餘家者,波逸提。」如是世尊與比丘結戒。
At that time, the Buddha was staying in Śrāvastī, at the Jetavana Anāthapiṇḍadārāma. At that time, in the city of Śrāvastī there was an elder of an eminent family who was an old acquaintance and close friend of the Śākyan Upananda. He thought to himself: "If the Śākyan Upananda comes into this city, for Upananda's sake I will provide a meal to the saṅgha of monks." At another time, the Śākyan Upananda came into the city. The elder, hearing that he had arrived, immediately dispatched a person to go to the saṅghārāma to tell the monks: "I invite you for a meal tomorrow." Then during that night he prepared various sweet delicacies, food, and drink, and early the next morning went to announce that the time had come. When the time came, the monks put on their robes, took their bowls, went to the elder's house, and sat down in their seats. The monks said to the elder: "The saṅgha of monks has already assembled; if the food and drink are prepared, you may serve them now." The elder replied, saying: "Venerable sirs, please wait a little while until the Śākyan Upananda arrives." The monks replied, saying: "The saṅgha of monks has already assembled. If the food and drink are prepared, you should serve them. Why must you wait? The proper time of day is slipping away; we fear that the monks will not be able to eat fully and sufficiently." Then the elder said to the monks: "I made a prior vow that if the Śākyan Upananda came into this city, I would provide a meal to the saṅgha of monks for the Śākyan Upananda's sake. May the venerable sirs wait a little while for Upananda." At that time, Upananda had gone off to another family during the morning meal time, and came only when the proper time was just about to pass. When the monks saw that the time was about to pass, although they received food and drink, in the end they were not satisfied. Among them, those who had few desires and were easily satisfied, practiced the dhūta austerities, loved training in the precepts, and had a sense of shame and conscience, reproached the Śākyan Upananda: "Why does the Śākyan Upananda go off to another family during the morning meal time and only come when the time is almost passed, causing the monks to be unable to eat to their satisfaction?" Then the monks went to the Bhagavat, bowed their heads at his feet, sat to one side, and reported this incident in full to the Bhagavat. Thereupon, on this account the Bhagavat assembled the saṅgha of monks, and with countless skillful means rebuked the Śākyan Upananda: "What you have done is wrong; it is not deportment, not the Dharma of a śramaṇa, not pure conduct, not compliant conduct, and what ought not to be done. Why, Śākyan Upananda, did you go to another family at the morning meal time and only come when the time was about to pass, causing the monks not to eat to their satisfaction?" Having rebuked the Śākyan Upananda with countless skillful means, the Bhagavat told the monks: "This foolish man has multiple kinds of defilement; he is the original perpetrator of this precept. From this day forth, I lay down the precept for the bhikṣus, gathering the ten objectives up to the long abiding of the True Dharma. Let those who wish to recite the precept recite it thus: If a bhikṣu, having previously accepted an invitation, goes to another family at the morning meal time, it is a pāyattika." Thus the Bhagavat laid down the precept for the bhikṣus.
