第三時衣　因六群比丘貪求無厭故制也。功德衣時得衣名時衣。時衣長畜無罪。功德衣竟名非時衣。自手受物明非。金銀等不淨物受持衣壞。容猫子蹄失應疾納。却摓更受不捨墮也。唯犯突。若即日補不至多曰不須臾受緣。緣邊綖破亦爾也　若不定功德衣竟　三衣足亦得畜長財十日。若三衣不具而得種種色。各各未足成衣。聽畜一月。一月已應連合。異色成衣。合而猶少聽更求令足。足時便作無定限。若一種一色衣不足。求足時便作。不至一月。若故不求突。不限日月。知更有得處為補故知大會處。或親理家應當更得。為欲侍之補合令得足。畜一月不淨施。餘不作衣財。如常淨施衣。極小二肘半三衣也。若竭支量如埿洹僧者。得下量受當三衣也。

Third: Seasonable robes (kāla-cīvara). This was instituted because the ṣaḍvargika monks were greedy and insatiable. Robes obtained during the time of the kathina robe are called 'seasonable robes'. Keeping extra seasonable robes incurs no offense. When the kathina robe has ended, they are called 'unseasonable robes' (akāla-cīvara). Accepting items with one's own hands indicates they are not impure items such as gold or silver. If a robe accepted and held is damaged, if the tear can accommodate a kitten's paw, the privilege is lost, and it should be quickly patched. If it is mended and taken up again, it is not subject to forfeiture; one commits only a duṣkṛta. If it is mended on the same day and does not extend to many days, there is no need to re-resolve upon it immediately. The same applies if the thread along the border is torn. 'If the undetermined kathina robe is finished': If the three robes are sufficient, one may also keep extra wealth for ten days. If the three robes are not complete and one obtains various colors, each insufficient to make a robe, one is permitted to keep them for one month. After one month, they should be joined together to make a robe of different colors. If after joining them it is still insufficient, one is permitted to seek more to make it complete; when complete, make it immediately, with no fixed limit. If one kind of monochrome cloth is insufficient, when seeking to make it complete, make it immediately, not exceeding one month. If one intentionally does not seek it, it is a duṣkṛta; this is not limited by days and months. If one knows of another place where it can be obtained to patch it, knowing of a great gathering or that a relative's household should provide more, in order to wait for it to patch and join it to completion, one may keep it for one month without vikalpanā. Any remaining cloth not used for making robes is treated as ordinary vikalpanā robes. The minimal size is two and a half cubits for the three robes. If the saṃkakṣikā measures like an antarvāsaka, it can be accepted and regarded as one of the three robes according to the minimal measurement.
