Littaṃparamena tejasāti idaṃ satthā jetavane viharanto apaccavekkhitaparibhogaṃ ārabbha kathesi. Tasmiṃ kira kāle bhikkhū cīvarādīni labhitvā yebhuyyena apaccavekkhitvā paribhuñjanti. Te cattāro paccaye apaccavekkhitvā paribhuñjamānā yebhuyyena nirayatiracchānayonito na muccanti. Satthā taṃ kāraṇaṃ ñatvā bhikkhūnaṃ anekapariyāyena dhammiṃ kathaṃ kathetvā apaccavekkhitaparibhoge ādīnavaṃ dassetvā ‘‘bhikkhave, bhikkhunā nāma cattāro paccaye labhitvā apaccavekkhitvā paribhuñjituṃ na vaṭṭati, tasmā ito paṭṭhāya cattāro paccaye paccavekkhitvā paribhuñjeyyāthā’’ti paccavekkhanavidhiṃ dassento ‘‘idha pana, bhikkhave, bhikkhu paṭisaṅkhā yoniso cīvaraṃ paṭisevati sītassa paṭighātāyā’’tiādinā (ma. ni. 1.23; a. ni. 6.58) nayena tantiṃ ṭhapetvā ‘‘bhikkhave, cattāro paccaye evaṃ paccavekkhitvā paribhuñjituṃ vaṭṭati, apaccavekkhitvā paribhogo nāma halāhalavisaparibhogasadiso.

Atīte bārāṇasiyaṃ brahmadatte rajjaṃ kārente bodhisatto aññatarasmiṃ mahābhogakule nibbattitvā vayappatto akkhadhutto ahosi.

‘‘Littaṃ paramena tejasā, gilamakkhaṃ puriso na bujjhati;
