外論曰。夫禮義成德之妙訓。忠孝立身之行本。未見臣民失禮其國可存。子孫不孝而家可立。今瞿曇制法必令衣同胡服。即是人中之師。口誦夷言。便為世間之貴。致使無賴之徒因斯勃逆。箕踞父兄之上。自號桑門。傲慢君王之前。乃稱釋種。不仁不孝已著于家。無樂無恭復形于國。

The External Treatise states: Rites and righteousness are the wondrous instructions that perfect virtue; loyalty and filial piety are the roots of conduct that establish the person. Never has it been seen that subjects and commoners lost the rites and their state could survive, or that sons and grandsons were unfilial and their family could stand. Now Gautama established regulations mandating that clothes must resemble barbarian dress, whereupon one becomes a teacher among men; that the mouth must chant barbarian words, whereupon one becomes noble in the world. This causes rascal fellows to be rebellious on this basis, sitting cross-legged above their fathers and elder brothers and styling themselves 'monks'; standing haughtily before their lords and kings and calling themselves 'Śākya clan'. Being unbenevolent and unfilial is already manifest in the family; lacking joy and respect is furthermore revealed in the state.
