sn42.10:2.1 Now at that time the chief Maṇicūḷaka was sitting in that assembly.
sn42.10:2.2 He said to that retinue,
sn42.10:2.3 “Good masters, don’t say that.
sn42.10:2.4 Gold and currency are not proper for ascetics who follow the Sakyan. They neither accept nor receive gold and currency. They have set aside gems and gold, and quit using gold and currency.”
sn42.10:2.5 He was able to persuade that assembly.
sn42.10:2.6 Then Maṇicūḷaka went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and told him what had happened. He then said,
sn42.10:2.13 “Answering this way, I trust that I repeat what the Buddha has said, and don’t misrepresent him with an untruth. I trust my explanation is in line with the teaching, and that there are no legitimate grounds for rebuttal or criticism.”
