6.423

Master Ji also says: the twelve *dhūtas* are four for food, three for robes, and five for sitting; in listing the names and in the explanation below, they are divided into thirteen because 'constant intention to sit upright' and 'dwelling in whatever seat one finds' are separately distinguished into two, though this is merely the single [practice of] constantly sitting and not lying down, as explained in the *Twelve Dhūta Sūtra*. Below, in [the section on] removing hindrances and in the detailed explanation, although they are further distinguished separately to remove hindrances, they remain one. The present explanation holds that thirteen are listed and subsumed under three classes: four for food, three for robes, and six among dwelling places. This is because 'constant intention to beg alms' is named 'begging alms as they are obtained', and among the dwelling places, the fifth is named 'constant intention to sit upright' and the sixth is named 'dwelling in whatever seat one finds'.
