MAHAVAGGA

SIXTH KHANDHAKA(ON MEDICAMENTS)

Chapter-39.

1. Now at that time, seedlings belonging to the Sangha grew upon private ground, and seedlings belonging to private persons grew upon ground which was the property of the Sangha.

They told this thing to the Lord Buddha.

'Of seedlings belonging to the Sangha, grown upon private ground, half the produce, O Bhikkhus, you may have, when you have given a part to the private owner. Of seedlings belonging to a private person, grown upon ground the property of the Sangha, you may have the use, when you have given a part to the private owner.'
