Mahavagga - Eighth Khandhaka: Chapter 6

1. At that time the Bhikkhus who had to receive the robes (presented), after
having received them, left them there (in the Vihâras) and went away; the robes
were spoilt.
They told this thing to the Blessed One.
'I prescribe, O Bhikkhus, that you appoint a Bhikkhu possessed of the following
five qualities, to lay by the robes (received): (a person) who does not go in
the evil course of lust, in the evil course of hatred, in the evil course of
delusion, in the evil course of fear, and who knows what is laid by and what is
not.
2. 'And you ought, O Bhikkhus, to appoint (&c., see chap. 5, § 2).'
