6.422

Under listing the names and designating the numbers, where it says 'relying thus on food... up to thirteen kinds': if one relies on Master Jing's explanation, twelve are listed and subsumed under three classes. Four for food, three for robes, and among the dwelling places there are five, collectively termed bedding and sitting accessories (śayanāsana); the fifth among dwelling places is 'constant intention to sit upright' and 'dwelling in whatever seat one finds'. If within 'alms-begging in succession' one divides it into two—(1) begging alms as they are obtained, and (2) begging in order from house to house—then there are thirteen. If one relies on there being no distinction in the nature of begging alms, there are only twelve, because begging alms as they are obtained is entirely subsumed under begging alms in succession.
