19.18
佛告諸營事比丘。龍象是畜生。尚惡多求。豈況於人。汝等比丘。莫為多營事廣索無厭。令彼信心婆羅門居士。苦惱捨財(出僧祇律第七卷又出彌沙塞律第三卷又不合同)。
The Buddha told the monks managing affairs: 'The elephant and nāga are beasts, yet even they detest excessive seeking, how much more so humans! You monks must not, because of managing many affairs, demand widely without satiation, causing those faithful brāhmaṇas and householders to part with their wealth in distress' (from the seventh fascicle of the Mahāsāṃghika Vinaya; also from the third fascicle of the Mahīśāsaka Vinaya, with some differences).
