2.69
"Great King! The causes and conditions for the destruction of the state are all of your own making. Relying on their own might, [rulers] restrict the fourfold assembly, not allowing them to cultivate merit. Evil bhikṣus accept individual invitations. Acquaintance bhikṣus unite with one mind, showing mutual favoritism, and seek merit through vegetarian banquets. These are the practices of non-Buddhists, entirely contrary to my teaching. The common people suffer epidemics and immeasurable distress. Know that at such a time the state will be ruined and destroyed.
