初、明制意。《僧祇》：「鉢是出家人器，非俗人所室。」《十誦》云：「鉢是恒沙諸佛標誌，不得惡用。」《善見》云：「三乘聖人皆執瓦鉢，乞食資生，四海為家，故名比丘。」古德云：「鉢盂無底，非廊廟之器。」

> First, explaining the intention behind its prescription. The Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya states: "The bowl is a vessel for renunciants, not an implement for householders." The Sarvāstivāda-vinaya states: "The bowl is the insignia of the Buddhas as numerous as the sands of the Ganges; it must not be put to improper use." The Samantapāsādikā states: "The noble ones of the three vehicles all hold earthenware bowls and beg for food to support their lives, taking the four seas as their home; therefore, they are called bhikṣus." An ancient master said: "A bowl has no stand; it is not a vessel for royal courts."
