[592] At that time the Buddha, the Blessed One, was dwelling at Rājagaha, in the Veḷuvana, at the Squirrels' Feeding Ground (Kalandakanivāpa). Then Devadatta approached Kokālika, Kaṭamorakatissaka the son of Khaṇḍadevī, and Samuddadatta; having approached, he said to Kokālika, Kaṭamorakatissaka the son of Khaṇḍadevī, and Samuddadatta: "Come, friends, let us create a schism (saṅghabheda) in the ascetic Gotama's Saṅgha, a breaking of his wheel of authority (cakkabheda)."
When this was said, Kokālika said to Devadatta: "Friend, the ascetic Gotama is of great psychic power, of great majesty. How shall we create a schism in the ascetic Gotama's Saṅgha, a breaking of his wheel of authority?"
"Come, friends, let us approach the ascetic Gotama and request five points (vatthu): 'Venerable sir, in many ways the Blessed One speaks in praise of one of few wishes, of one who is contented, of effacement (sallekha), of ascetic scrupulousness (dhuta), of what inspires confidence, of diminution (apacaya), and of the arousing of energy. Venerable sir, these five points conduce in many ways to fewness of wishes, to contentment, to effacement, to ascetic scrupulousness, to inspiring confidence, and to the arousing of energy. It would be good, venerable sir, if the bhikkhus were forest-dwellers for as long as life lasts; whoever should resort to the vicinity of a village, fault would touch him. That for as long as life lasts they be almsfood-eaters; whoever should accept an invitation, fault would touch him. That for as long as life lasts they be wearers of rag-robes; whoever should accept a robe from a householder, fault would touch him. That for as long as life lasts they be dwellers at the foot of a tree; whoever should take to a covered dwelling, fault would touch him. That for as long as life lasts they not eat fish and meat; whoever should eat fish and meat, fault would touch him.' The ascetic Gotama will not allow these things; then we shall win over the people by means of these five points."
"It is indeed possible, friend, with these five points to create a schism in the ascetic Gotama's Saṅgha, a breaking of his wheel of authority; for, friend, people place their confidence in austerity."
