佛說目連問戒律中五百輕重事 1.186

1.186

問：「比丘借人物，前人死，得還自取不？」答：「一切不得。還自取，犯突吉羅。白眾，眾還得取。若眾不與，犯墮。」

Question: "A bhikṣu borrows someone's property, and the other person dies. May he take it back himself or not?" Answer: "He may not under any circumstances. Taking it back himself, he commits a duṣkṛta. If he informs the saṅgha, the saṅgha may give it back to him. If the saṅgha does not give it to him [and he takes it], he commits an offence of pātayantika."
