1.39

十八自手取金銀教他取　舉銀則七寶錢等一切寶物皆悉攝也。如是等物物之珍也。有識之類莫不愛重。亡身失道。靡不由之。而六群比丘之徒。手取金銀。長者居士減共呵責。沙門釋子盍捨。珍翫受持。四衣如何捉金。與貴人無異。因是結戒。不得捉寶。自捉教他比丘捉皆犯捨墮。沙彌得捉不得畜。捉寶之罪要眾中悔過也。

Eighteenth: Personally taking gold or silver, or instructing another to take it. Mentioning silver includes the seven treasures, coins, and all precious items. Such things are the treasures of material goods; none among conscious beings fails to cherish them. Losing one's life and straying from the Way always stems from them. Yet the followers of the ṣaḍvargika monks took gold and silver with their own hands. Elders and householders all rebuked them together: "Why do the Śākyan śramaṇas not renounce precious curiosities, yet accept and hold them? Wearing the four robes, how can they grasp gold? They are no different from nobles." On this account, the precept was formulated: one must not grasp treasures. Personally grasping or instructing another monk to grasp both constitute a niḥsargika-pāyattika. Śrāmaṇeras may grasp them, but may not store them. For the offense of grasping treasures, one must repent in the assembly.
