Use of a Stone Bowl].—‘The Buddha forbade the Bhikṣus to use eight kinds of bowls (pātra)’.—[...] [Question].—However, it was following this event that the Buddha said to the Bhikṣus: ‘Starting from today, provided that a Bhikṣu mindfully seeks nirvāṇa and turns his back on saṃsāra, I allow him, if he so wishes, to wear a robe worth ten myriad ounces of gold, and I also allow him to eat the food of a hundred flavors (śatarasa-bhojana)’. [Therefore at the beginning] his robe was different and it was only later that he allowed [the Bhikṣus to wear one similar to his]. His bowl [was unique of its type] and he never allowed [the Bhikṣus to have a similar one]. . [...]”.
