For a monk: for the benefit of a monk; making a monk the object of consideration, one wants to give to him. A king: whoever rules. A king’s employee: whoever gets food and wages from a king. A brahmin: a brahmin by birth. A householder: anyone apart from a king, a king’s employee, and a brahmin. A robe fund: money, gold, a pearl, or a gem. With this robe fund: with that which is at one’s disposal. Buy: having traded. Give: donate. And the messenger goes to that monk and says, “Venerable, I have brought a robe fund for you. Please receive it,” then that monk should reply, “We don’t receive robe funds, but we do receive allowable robe-cloth at the right time.” If that messenger says, “Is there anyone who provides services for you?” the monk, if he needs robe-cloth, should point out a monastery worker or a lay follower and say, “They provides services for the monks”: he should not say, “Give it to them,” “They’ll put it aside,” “They’ll trade it,” “They’ll buy it.”
