[23] Now at that time, in the park of King Seniya Bimbisāra of Magadha the mango trees were bearing fruit. And permission had been given by King Seniya Bimbisāra of Magadha: "Let the venerable ones enjoy the mangoes as they please." The group-of-six bhikkhus (bhikkhu) had even the young mangoes knocked down and ate them. Then King Seniya Bimbisāra of Magadha had need of mangoes. So King Seniya Bimbisāra of Magadha commanded his men: "Go, good sirs; go to the park and bring back mangoes." "Yes, sire," those men replied to King Seniya Bimbisāra of Magadha; and having gone to the park, they said this to the park-keeper: "Good sir, the king has need of mangoes. Give us mangoes." "There are no mangoes, masters. The bhikkhus had even the young mangoes knocked down and ate them." Then those men reported this matter to King Seniya Bimbisāra of Magadha. "Well eaten indeed, good sirs, are the mangoes by the venerable ones; and yet moderation has been praised by the Blessed One." People criticized, complained, and spread it about, saying: "How can the ascetics, sons of the Sakyan, not knowing moderation, eat up the king's mangoes?" Bhikkhus heard those people criticizing, complaining, and spreading it about … Then those bhikkhus reported this matter to the Blessed One. … "Bhikkhus, mangoes should not be eaten. Whoever should eat them commits an offence of wrong-doing (dukkaṭa)."
