3.176

From "Great Kings! Ruining and throwing my Way into chaos" onward is the second: that secular officials must not govern the saṅgha. The statement that they "rely on their own power and authority to regulate my fourfold assembly of disciples" means that, outside the five classes and seven categories [of monastic rules], they additionally create secular laws to control monks and the like. Because the good spirits who protect the Dharma become enraged, they cause diseases to destroy the realm and the five turbidities to increase.
