Answer: The Śāriputraparipṛcchā Sūtra states: "There was a monk named Luoxun (Rocana) who, due to meager merit, could not obtain almsfood. Later, he wore the robes of the five schools interchangeably, and thereupon received abundant food and drink. Therefore, the Buddha said: 'In my Dharma of renunciation, one wears purely worn fabrics. Due to Luoxun, I permit receiving various kinds of robes.'"
