四分律行事鈔資持記 2.1382

2.1382

[Precept] Eighty-three. (The Buddha was in Śrāvastī. Upananda entered the village at an improper time and played dice with a householder; hence it was prohibited.) The *Vinayadvāviṃśatividyā-śāstra Commentary* states that it was prohibited for two reasons: first, out of fear that when a karma is to be performed, not knowing where he has gone would disturb the Saṃgha; second, to prevent him from entering lay households at his own convenience.
