Dhammapada Verse 409 

Yo'dha digham va rassam va
anum thulam subhasubham
Joke adinnam nadiyati
tamaham brumi brahmanam.

Verse 409: Him I call a Brahmana, who, in this world takes nothing that is not given him, be it long or short, big or small, good or bad.


The Story of a Certain Thera

While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (409) of this book, with reference to a certain thera.

One day, a brahmin from Savatthi put his upper garment outside his house to air it. A thera found that garment as he was going back to the monastery. Thinking that it was a piece of cloth thrown away by someone and therefore ownerless, the thera picked it up. The brahmin looking out of his window saw the thera picking up the piece of clothing and came after the thera, abusing and accusing him. "You shaven head! You are stealing my clothing", he said; the thera promptly returned the piece of clothing to the brahmin.

Back at the monastery, the thera related the above Incident to other bhikkhus, and they made fun of him and jokingly asked him whether the cloth was long or short, coarse or fine. To this question the thera answered, "Whether the clothing is long or short, coarse or fine matters not to me; I am not at all attached to it." Other bhikkhus then reported to the Buddha that the thera was falsely claiming himself to be an arahat. To them the Buddha replied, "Bhikkhus! The thera speaks the truth; an arahat does not take anything that is not given him."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 409: Him I call a Brahmana, who, in this world takes nothing that is not given him, be it long or short, big or small, good or bad.

比丘被控作小偷


不作非分之取——不管長或短,多或少,鮮美或陳腐的人,我稱之為婆羅門。 (偈 409)


  有一天,舍衛城的一位婆羅門把上身的衣服放在門外地上吹風。這時候,一位要回精舍的比丘經過他家門口,看見地上的衣服。他以為這是人家丟棄不要的布料,就將它拿了起來, 卻被這婆羅門瞥見,便追上來,指控、辱罵比丘:「你這光頭佬!偷我的衣服。」比丘立刻把衣服還給他。

  比丘回到精舍時,向其他比丘敘述這件意外。這些比丘開玩笑地問他,這衣服是長是短,材質是好是壞。

  他回答說:「不管是長是短,材質好壞,我都不在意,我絲毫不執著於它。」這些比丘就請教佛陀:「世尊!這比丘說他不再執著於任何東西。真的嗎?」

  佛陀說:「比丘們!他說的是真心話。阿羅漢不會拿不是供養他的任何東西,而且也不執著於物質的東西。」
