2.533

佛在曠野城。六群相謂:「我等在上座前,不得隨意語言。」即出露地,拾諸柴草,然火向之。株內毒蛇,火氣逼出,遂驚擲火,燒佛講堂。比丘舉過,佛因訶制。

The Buddha was in Aṭavī. The group of six said to one another: "In front of the elders, we cannot speak as we please." They thereupon went out into the open, gathered firewood and dry grass, kindled a fire, and warmed themselves by it. A poisonous snake inside a tree stump was forced out by the heat of the fire; they were startled and flung the fire, burning down the Buddha's lecture hall. The bhikṣus brought up the fault, and on this account the Buddha rebuked [them] and laid down [the precept].
