VIII, 32, 1. THE DRESS OF THE BHIKKHUS. 255 rice, or hard food, or robes, or bedding, or medicinel.
When he gives it to a single Bhikkhu, he says, "I give a set of robes to such and such a one.”'
Here ends the eighth Khandhaka, the Kivara
khandhaka.
That is, he invites a number of Bhikkhus to partake of yâgu, and when the yâgu is served he says, 'I give robes to those who have partaken of the yagu,' and so on in all the other cases except that of robes. In that case he says, 'I give robes to those who have previously received robes from me' (B.).
