1.334

The Buddha was in the country of Śrāvastī. He permitted the keeping of three robes, not allowing any extra. The group-of-six bhikṣus kept many extra robes—either morning-rising robes, midday robes, or late-afternoon robes. They constantly maintained and adorned their robes, accumulating and storing them away. The bhikṣus raised their fault, and the Buddha then rebuked them; because of this, he made an exception and reformulated the rule.
