問：「比丘寄白衣物，此人過期不還與，餘比丘得取不？」答：「不得取。若活是有主物，若死是僧物。」

Question: "A bhikṣu entrusts goods to a layperson, but this person fails to return them when the time has expired. May another bhikṣu take them?" Answer: "He may not take them. If the owner is alive, it is property belonging to an owner; if he has died, it is saṅgha property."
