At that time the fraternity got robes of different kinds. Now the Bhikkhus thought: 'What robes are allowed to us by the Blessed One, and what robes are not allowed?'\nThey told this thing to the Blessed One.\n'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, six kinds of robes, viz.\nthose made of linen, of cotton, of silk, of wool, of coarse cloth, and of hempen cloth.'\n2. At that time the Bhikkhus accepted lay robes, but did not get pamsuk\u00fbla robes, because they had scruples (and thought): 'The Blessed One has allowed us either kind of robes only, not both kinds 1.'\n'I allow, O Bhikkhus, that he who accepts lay robes, may get also pamsuk\u00fbla robes. If you are pleased with those both sorts of robes, I approve that also.'\n197:1 See chap. 1, \u00a7 35.","title":"SBE 17: Eighth Khandhaka: Chapter 3","type":"page"}
