Maṇicūḷa Sutta
In the royal palace at RÄjagaha, the report once arose among the retinue that SÄkyan recluses were allowed to take gold and silver. The headman Maṇicūḷaka, 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.
