1.174

The Buddha was in Rājagṛha, and permitted the bhikṣus to build private huts. The bhikṣus of Āṭavī then built large huts, begging for so much that they annoyed and disturbed the householders. As begging was hard to fulfill, they ended up cutting down a sacred tree. The tree deity and the bhikṣus reported the matter to the Buddha. The Buddha thereupon went to Āṭavī, rebuked them, drew parables, and then formulated this precept.
