Now at that time the Bhikkhus went on their round for alms, carrying water jugs made out of gourds 2, or water-pots 3.\nPeople murmured, were shocked, and indignant, saying, 'As the Titthiyas do.'\nThey told this matter to the Blessed One.\n'You are not, O Bhikkhus, to go on your rounds for alms with water jugs, or pots. Whosoever does so, shall be guilty of a dukkata.'\n2. Now at that time a certain Bhikkhu, who had taken upon himself a vow to wear or use nothing except what he could procure from dust-heaps or cemeteries, went on his rounds for alms carrying a bowl made out of a skull. A certain woman saw him, and was afraid, and made an outcry 1, saying, 'O horror! This is surely a devil!'\nPeople murmured, were shocked, and indignant, saying, 'How can the Sakyaputtiya Samanas carry about bowls made out of skulls, as the devil-worshippers 2 do?'\n'You are not, O Bhikkhus, to use bowls made out of skulls. Whosoever does so, shall be guilty of a dukkata. And you are not, O Bhikkhus, to take a vow to wear or to use nothing except what you procure from dust-heaps or cemeteries. Whosoever does so, shall be guilty of a dukkata.'\n3. Now at that time the Bhikkhus carried out odd bits, and bones, and dirty water 3 in their bowls.\nPeople murmured, were shocked, and were indignant, saying, 'The very vessel out of which\nthese Sakyaputtiya Samanas eat, that they use as a waste-tub!'\n'You are not, O Bhikkhus, to carry out odd bits, and bones, and dirty water in your bowls. Whosoever does so, shall be guilty of a dukkata. I allow you, O Bhikkhus, the use of a waste-tub 1.'\n88:2 Tumba-kat\u00e2han ti l\u00e2pu-kat\u00e2ham vukkati (B.).
