二十七夏三月末過後坐未滿八月　先因毘阿比丘留衣安陀林中。著上下衣入城。還覓不得。因是嘆與衣鉢。俱後因一國。比丘後坐未滿八月。所坐國法八月十四日十五日取八祀鬼。因此難故聽六日。未至息恣寄衣村內避去不失阿練。若法在阿練若處。要依聚落以所資物易得。有難則衣故。南方地平北方地嶮。地嶮難行。地平易行。易行故限去村十里。乃聽寄衣。嶮地難行故。限去五里。乃聽寄衣。若二處俱減。不聽寄衣。去以村近有救授故。從是後一切比丘自恣前六日。若有緣事悉用此法無犯也。餘一切時八難事起。而寄衣去。經宿失衣。而不犯捨墮。後但更受之也。

Twenty-seven: When the three months of the summer [retreat] are nearing their end, or before the eighth month is completed for the later retreat. Formerly, because the monk Vyāsa left his robes in the Andhavana forest and entered the city wearing only his upper and lower garments, upon his return he could not find them. On account of this, [the Buddha] praised keeping robe and bowl together. Later, in a certain country, monks of the later retreat had not yet completed the eighth month. According to the law of that country, on the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the eighth month, they held eight sacrifices to spirits. Because of this danger, six days before the pavāraṇā, they were permitted to deposit their robes in a village and leave to avoid [the danger] without losing their āraṇyaka status. If the rule is observed in an āraṇyaka dwelling, it must depend on a village, because necessary supplies are easily obtained, and if there is danger, the robes [can be preserved]. In the south the terrain is flat, while in the north the terrain is rugged. Rugged terrain is difficult to travel, while flat terrain is easy to travel. Because it is easy to travel, it is limited to ten li from the village for depositing robes to be permitted. Because rugged terrain is difficult to travel, it is limited to five li for depositing robes to be permitted. If it is less than these distances in either place, depositing robes is not permitted, because being near the village there is rescue and assistance. From then on, for all monks within six days before the pavāraṇā, if there are relevant affairs, all may use this method without offense. At all other times, if the eight dangerous circumstances arise and one deposits robes and leaves, spending the night away results in the loss of the robes, but one does not commit a forfeiture and pāyattika; later, one simply receives them again.
