CHULAVAGGA (THE MINOR SECTION)
FIFTH KHANDHAKA (ON THE DAILY LIFE OF THE BHIKKHUS)
Chapter-30.
1. Now at that time the Chabbaggiya Bhikkhus carried a double pingo (a yoke over the shoulders with the weight to be carried on both sides).
People murmured, &c., saying, 'Like the king's porters.
They told this matter to the Lord Buddha.
'You are not, O Bhikkhus, to carry a double pingo. Whosoever does so, shall be guilty of a dukkata. I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to carry a single pingo, a pingo for two bearers, and to carry weights on your head, or your shoulders, or against your hips, and suspended over your backs.'
