In the royal palace at Rájagaha, the report once arose among the retinue that Sákyan recluses were allowed to take gold and silver. The headman Manicúlaka, who was present, denied this, but, being unable to convince his audience, he sought the Buddha, who assured him that these monks were allowed neither to seek nor to accept gold and silver. S.iv.325f.; cp. Vin.ii.296f.
