[151] Now at that time a certain bhikkhu, going to a village, said to another bhikkhu: "Friend, I will convey to the family that supports you (upaṭṭhākakula) whatever you tell me to say." Having gone, he had a single robe-cloth (sāṭaka) brought and used it himself. The other, finding out, accused him: "You are not an ascetic." He was remorseful … "Bhikkhu, there is no offence entailing pārājika; but, bhikkhus, one should not say, 'I will convey whatever I am told to say'; whoever should say so commits an offence of wrong-doing (dukkaṭa)."
Now at that time a certain bhikkhu was going to a village. Another bhikkhu said to that bhikkhu: "Friend, convey to the family that supports me whatever I tell you to say." Having gone, he had a pair of robe-cloths brought; one he used himself, one he gave to that bhikkhu. The other, finding out, accused him: "You are not an ascetic." He was remorseful … "Bhikkhu, there is no offence entailing pārājika; but, bhikkhus, one should not say, 'Convey whatever you are told to say'; whoever should say so commits an offence of wrong-doing."
Now at that time a certain bhikkhu, going to a village, said to another bhikkhu: "Friend, I will convey to the family that supports you whatever you tell me to say." And that one spoke thus: "Convey whatever you are told to say." Having gone, he had an āḷhaka of ghee, a tulā of jaggery, and a doṇa of husked rice brought, and consumed them himself. The other, finding out, accused him: "You are not an ascetic." He was remorseful … "Bhikkhu, there is no offence entailing pārājika; but, bhikkhus, one should not say, 'I will convey whatever I am told to say,' nor should one say, 'Convey whatever you are told to say'; whoever should say so commits an offence of wrong-doing."
