僧羯磨 2.149

2.149

"Let the saṃgha, bhadantas, listen! The saṃgha now gives this (either the bowl of the most junior monk, or the inferior bowl of the bhikṣu) to bhikṣu so-and-so to accept and keep until it breaks. Whichever āyuṣmats consent to the saṃgha giving bhikṣu so-and-so the bowl, remain silent; whoever does not consent, speak. The saṃgha has consented to give the bowl to bhikṣu so-and-so. The saṃgha consents, therefore it is silent; so is this matter maintained." (That bhikṣu must guard this bowl: he must not place it where tiles or stones fall; he must not place it under a leaning staff or under a leaning knife; he must not place it under hanging objects; he must not place it in the road, on a stone, under a fruit tree, or on uneven ground; he must not grasp two bowls with one hand unless a finger separates the middle; he must not grasp two bowls with one hand while opening a door unless being attentive; he must not place it inside a threshold or under a door leaf; he must not place it under a rope-bed or wooden bed, between beds, or at the corner of a bed, except temporarily; he must not rinse the bowl standing up to the extent of risking breaking the bowl; he should not intentionally damage it, intentionally lose it, or use it for non-bowl purposes.)
