Notwithstanding this, they did not observe a proper conduct. They told this thing to the Blessed One. ‘I ordain, O Bhikkhus, to turn away (a saddhivihdrika) who does not observe a proper conduct. And he ought, O Bhikkhus, to be turned away in this way: (The upaggaya is to say): “I turn you away,” or, “Do not come back hither,” or, “ Take away your alms-bowl and robe,” or, “I am not to be attended by you any more.” Whether he express this by gesture, or by word, or by gesture and word, the saddhivihdrika has then been turned away. If he does not express this by gesture, nor by word, nor by gesture and word, the saddhivihdrika has not been turned away.’ 3. At that time saddhivihdrikas who had been turned away did not beg pardon (of their upaggéyas). They told this thing to the Blessed One. ‘I prescribe, O Bhikkhus, that (a saddhiviharika who has been turned away) should beg pardon (of his upagghaya).’ They did not beg pardon notwithstanding. They told, &c. ‘I prescribe, O Bhikkhus, that (a saddhivihérika) who has been turned away shall not forbear to beg pardon (of his upagghaya). If he does not beg pardon, it is a dukka/a offence.’ 1 Those slight offences which were not embodied in the Patimokkha are called dukka/a offences. They range, as to their gravity, with the p4fittiya offences of the Patimokkha. For him who had committed a dukka/a offence, no further penance was required than a simple confession of his fault. See Xullavagga XI, 1, 10. I, 27,7. ADMISSION TO THE ORDER OF BHIKKHUS. 167 4. At that time upagghayas, when the saddhiviharikas begged their pardon, would not forgive them. They told, &c. | ‘I prescribe, O Bhikkhus, forgiving.’ Notwithstanding this they did not forgive. The saddhivih4rikas went away, or returned to the world, or went over to other schools. They told, &c. ‘Let him who is asked for his pardon, not withhold it. He who does not forgive, is guilty of a dukkadZa offence.’ 5. At that time upagg/4yas turned away (a saddhivihdarika) who observed a proper conduct, and did not turn away one who did not observe it. They told, &c. ‘Let no one, O Bhikkhus, who observes a proper conduct, be turned away. He who turns him away is guilty of a dukka¢a offence. And let no one, O Bhikkhus, who does not observe a proper conduct, not be turned away. (An upagghdya) who does not turn him away is guilty of a dukka#a offence. 6. ‘In five cases, O Bhikkhus, a saddhivihdrika ought to be turned away: when he does not feel great affection for his upagg4ya, nor great inclination (towards him), nor much shame, nor great reverence, nor great devotion (towards the upagghaya). In these five cases, O Bhikkhus, a saddhivihdrika ought to be turned away.

In these five cases, O Bhikkhus, a saddhivih4rika ought not to be turned away. 7. ‘In five cases, O Bhikkhus, it is right to turn away a saddhiviharika: when he does not feel 168 MAHAVAGGA. I, 27, 8. great affection, &c. In these five cases,O Bhikkhus, it is right to turn away a saddhivihdarika. ‘In five cases, O Bhikkhus, it is not right, &c. 8. ‘In five cases, O Bhikkhus, an upagghaya who does not turn away a saddhivih4rika, trespasses (against the law), and an upagghaya who turns him away, does not trespass: when he does not feel great affection, &c. In these five cases, &c. ‘In five cases, O Bhikkhus, an upaggAya who turns away a saddhivih4rika, trespasses (against the law), and an upagg/4ya who does not turn him away, does not trespass, &c.’ 28. 1. At that time a certain Brahmaza came to the Bhikkhus and asked them for the pabbagg4 ordination. The Bhikkhus were not willing to ordain him. As he did not obtain the pabbaggA ordination from the Bhikkhus, he became emaciated, lean, discoloured, more and more livid, and the veins became visible all over his body. And the Blessed One saw this Brahmaza, who had become emaciated, &c. When he had seen him, . he said to the Bhikkhus: ‘How is it, O Bhikkhus, that this Brahmaza has become emaciated, &c. ?’ ‘This Brahmaza, Lord, came to the Bhikkhus and asked them for the pabbagg4 ordination (&c., as above, down to:), and the veins became visible all over his body.’ 2. Then the Blessed One said to the Bhikkhus: ‘Now, O Bhikkhus, who remembers anything about this Brahmaza ?’ I, 28, 4. ADMISSION TO THE ORDER OF BHIKKHUS. 169 When he had spoken thus, the venerable Sdriputta said to the Blessed One: ‘I remember something, Lord, about this Brahmaza.’ ’ “And what is it you remember, S4riputta, about this Brahmama ?’ ‘This Brahmaza, Lord, one day, when I went through Ragagaha for alms, ordered a spoonful of food to be given to me; this is what I remember, Lord, about this Brahmaza.’ 3. ‘Good, good, Sariputta; pious men, Sériputta, are grateful and remember what has been done to them. Therefore, Sariputta, confer you the pabbagg& and upasampad4 ordinations on that Brahmaza.’ ‘Lord, how shall I confer the pabbaggaA and upasam pada ordinations on this Brahmaza ?’ Then the Blessed One on this occasion, after having delivered a religious discourse, thus addressed the Bhikkhus: ‘I abolish, O Bhikkhus, from this day the upasampada ordination by the threefold declaration of taking refuge!, which I had prescribed. I prescribe, O Bhikkhus, that you confer the upasampada ordination by a formal act of the Order in which the announcement (#atti) is followed by three questions’. 4. ‘And you ought, O Bhikkhus, to confer the 1 See chap. 12 and the note on chap. 1. 1.

After the fatti follows the question put to the Bhikkhus present if they approve the resolution. This question is put either once or three times; in the first case we have a #attidutiya kamma (see, for instance, II, chap. 6); in the second case, a fattizatuttha kamma (as in this chapter). 170 MAHAVAGGA.

The Bhikkhus said to him: ‘You ought not to do so, friend; it is not becoming.’ He replied: ‘I never asked you, Sirs, saying, “Confer on me the upasampada ordination.” Why have you ordained me without your being asked ?’ They told this thing to the Blessed One. ‘Let no one, O Bhikkhus, ordain a person unless he has been asked to do so. He who does, commits a dukka/a offence. I prescribe, O Bhikkhus, that you ordain only after having been asked.
