Cullavagga, Khandaka 6, Chapter 18
1. Now at that time the Bhikkhus made use elsewhere of beds which were appurtenances[1] to the 痴颈丑腻谤补 of a certain lay-disciple (耻辫腻蝉补办补).
Then that 耻辫腻蝉补办补 murmured, &c.
They told the matter to the Blessed One.
'Things appurtenant to one place are not, O Bhikkhus, to be used in another. Whosoever does so, shall be guilty of a 诲耻办办补峁璦.'
Now at that time the Bhikkhus, fearing to offend if they took (things to sit upon) even into the Uposatha Hall, or the meeting-place, sat on the ground; and their legs and robes got soiled.
They told the matter to the Blessed One.
'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to take things away for a certain time only[2].'
Now at that time a large 痴颈丑腻谤补 belonging to the 厂补峁僩丑补 went to ruin[3]. The Bhikkhus, fearing to offend, did not take the bedding in it away.
They told this matter to the Blessed One.
'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to take away things in order to save them from destruction.'
