[624] Now on that occasion the headman Maṇicūḷaka was seated in that assembly. Then the headman Maṇicūḷaka said to that assembly: "Do not speak thus, sirs. Gold and silver are not allowable for the ascetics who are sons of the Sakyan. The ascetics who are sons of the Sakyan do not consent to gold and silver; the ascetics who are sons of the Sakyan do not accept gold and silver. The ascetics who are sons of the Sakyan have laid aside gems and gold; the ascetics who are sons of the Sakyan have given up gold and silver." And the headman Maṇicūḷaka was able to convince that assembly.
