MAHAVAGGA
EIGHTH KHANDHAKA (THE DRESS OF THE BHIKKHUS)
Chapter-2.
At that time the king of Kasi sent to Jivaka Komarabhakka a woollen garment made half of Benares cloth . . . Then Jivaka Komarabhakka took that woollen garment made half of Benares cloth and went to the place where the Lord Buddha was; having approached him, and respectfully saluted the Lord Buddha, he sat down near him. Sitting near him, Jivaka Komarabhakka said to the Lord Buddha: 'Lord, this woollen garment made half of Benares cloth. . . . has been sent to me by the king of Kasi. May the Lord Buddha, Lord, accept this woollen garment, which may be to me a long time for a good and a blessing.' The Lord Buddha accepted that woollen garment.
And the Lord Buddha taught (&c., as in Chap-I, 34, down to:) and went away.
And the Lord Buddha, after having delivered a dhamma discourse in consequence of that, thus addressed the Bhikkhus:
'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to use woollen garments.'
