I pray you purchase such and such pieces of cloth for me, because they will together make me one beautiful robe!” if he obtain his request, it is nissagiya pācittiya. > — Samuel Beal, The Prātimokṣa of the Dharmaguptakas ### [1.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.vinaya.pratimoksa.dharmaguptaka*zh-buddhayasas.1.54) 「若比丘！若王、若大臣、若婆羅門、若居士、居士婦，遣使為比丘送衣價，持如是衣價與某甲比丘。彼使人至比丘所語比丘言：『大德！今為汝故，送是衣價，受取。』是比丘應語彼使如是言：『我不應受此衣價，我若須衣，合時，清淨，當受。』彼使語比丘言：『大德！有執事人不？』須衣比丘應語言：『有！若僧伽藍民、若優婆塞，此是比丘執事人，常為諸比丘執事。』時彼使往至執事人所，與衣價已，還至比丘所作如是言：『大德！所示某甲執事人，我已與衣價，大德！知時，往彼當得衣。』須衣比丘，當往執事人所，若二反、三反，為作憶念，應語言：『我須衣。』若二反、三反，為作憶念，若得衣者善；若不得衣，應四反、五反、六反，在前默然住，令彼憶念。若四反、五反、六反，在前默然住，得衣者善；若不得衣，過是求得衣者，尼薩耆波逸提。若不得衣，從所得衣價處，若自往、若遣使往，語言：『汝先遣使持衣價與某甲比丘，是比丘竟不得衣，汝還取，莫使失，此是時（一十）。』 > "If a king, a minister, a brāhmaṇa, a householder, or a householder's wife sends a messenger to deliver robe-funds for a bhikṣu, to give such robe-funds to bhikṣu so-and-so, and that messenger goes to the bhikṣu's place and says to the bhikṣu: 'Bhadanta, for your sake I am now delivering these robe-funds; please accept them,' this bhikṣu should say to that messenger: 'I should not accept these robe-funds. If I need a robe, at the proper season and in a pure manner I shall accept it.' If that messenger says to the bhikṣu: 'Bhadanta, is there an attendant?' the bhikṣu who needs a robe should say: 'There is. Either a laborer of the saṅghārāma or an upāsaka—these are attendants of the bhikṣus, who regularly perform service for the bhikṣus.' Then that messenger goes to the attendant's place, gives the robe-funds, and returns to the bhikṣu's place, speaking thus: 'Bhadanta, to the attendant so-and-so whom you indicated, I have given the robe-funds. Bhadanta, know the time; go to him and you will obtain the robe.' The bhikṣu who needs a robe should go to the attendant's place two or three times to remind him, and should say: 'I need a robe.' If, after reminding him two or three times, he obtains the robe, it is good. If he does not obtain the robe, he should stand silently before him four, five, or six times to cause him to remember. If, standing silently before him four, five, or six times, he obtains the robe, it is good. If he does not obtain the robe, and seeks beyond this and obtains the robe, it is a niḥsargika-pāyattika. If he does not obtain the robe, he should go himself or send a messenger to the place from which he received the robe-funds, saying: 'You previously sent a messenger taking robe-funds for bhikṣu so-and-so. This bhikṣu ultimately did not obtain the robe. Take it back; do not let it be lost.' This is the proper course.
