1.23
時有婆羅門將五百弟子亦住此山,見迦葉夫婦便生毀謗言:「出家之法宜各貞潔,何有夫婦共相隨理?」於時迦葉便捨其婦,以五百兩金貿緻衲衣,別處一林;其婦即依止婆羅門求為弟子。婆羅門五百弟子,見此女人形色端正日日行婬,此女人不得自在,遂不能堪,便告其師,師便為之戒約弟子,令節其所欲。
At that time there was a brahman leading five hundred disciples who also resided in these mountains. Seeing Kāśyapa and his wife, he gave rise to slander, saying, "The rule for leaving home is that each should remain chaste; how can there be reason in a husband and wife following each other?" Kāśyapa then parted from his wife, used five hundred liang of gold to purchase patch-robes, and went to dwell in a separate forest. His wife then took refuge with the brahman, seeking to become his disciple. The brahman's five hundred disciples saw that this woman was graceful and fair in appearance, and engaged in illicit sex every day. The woman lacked autonomy and could not endure it, so she reported it to their master. The master then restrained his disciples with rules, ordering them to moderate their desires.
