十六行道得羚羊毛　商人遠行。多戴羊毛。車壞牛病無由。致去道路多賊伴車悉重。欲以與之復不肯受。會有比丘。從後而來。商人大喜即以施之。於是比丘負重。隨去至前聚落。商伴嫌恨。語比丘言。汝為商也。行至於此。因是結戒。不復聽取。後諸居士欲施羊毛。比丘不受。居士甚恨。因是復開。開而限不過。三由旬自擔捨墮。若與他共彼亦三由旬。若不共亦如是。令他擔過三由旬突吉羅。綿同羊毛。其餘悉異。凡比丘持擔悉不得逕村。逕村突吉羅也。

Sixteenth: Obtaining sheep's wool while travelling on a road. A merchant was travelling far and carrying much sheep's wool. His cart broke down and his oxen fell ill, leaving no way to transport it; the road had many thieves and his companions' carts were all heavy. He wished to give it to them, but they were unwilling to accept. It happened that a monk came from behind; the merchant was overjoyed and forthwith offered it to him. Thereupon the monk carried the heavy burden, following them to the next village. The merchant company resented it, saying to the monk, "Are you a merchant, travelling this far?" On this account, the precept was formulated, no longer permitting taking it. Later, various householders wished to offer sheep's wool, but the monks would not accept it, and the householders greatly resented it. On this account, it was opened again. Being opened, the limit is not to exceed: if one personally carries it beyond three yojanas, it is a niḥsargika-pāyattika. If one shares it with another, the other is also limited to three yojanas; if not sharing, it is also like this. Making another carry it beyond three yojanas is a duṣkṛta. Floss is the same as sheep's wool; all the rest are different. In general, when a monk carries a load, he must not pass through a village; passing through a village is a duṣkṛta.
