2.6

The text on entrustment in the twenty-fourth fascicle of the Mahīśāsaka-vinaya: There were monks who, before their lives had ended, disposed of their robes and possessions, saying: 'After I die, give these robes and possessions to so-and-so; use these robes and possessions for such-and-such purposes.' The monks reported this to the Buddha. The Buddha said: 'It should not be so. Those who violate this commit a duṣkṛta offense. Giving does not constitute giving, and using does not constitute using.'
