At one time when the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery, the monks from the group of six said to the monks whose robes had been stolen, “The Buddha has allowed a monk whose robes have been stolen or lost to ask an unrelated householder for a robe. You should ask for a robe.” “It’s not necessary. We’ve already gotten robes.” “We’ll ask for you.” “Do as you please.” The monks from the group of six then went to householders and said, “Monks have arrived whose robes have been stolen. Please give them robes.” And they asked for many robes.
