Twenty-nine. (The Buddha was in Śrāvastī; an araṇya bhikṣu was robbed of his belongings by bandits, so the Buddha ordered them to be left deposited in village houses; the group-of-six deposited their robes and went wandering, hence the prohibition was enacted.) In the name: having peril clarifies that it is not tranquil; araṇya marks the distinction from the previous precept. This means that when a wilderness bhikṣu fears bandits will seize his robes, the Buddha permits depositing them in villages or settlements, so that with his person in the araṇya, he has no fear of robbery or loss.
