1I prescribe, O Bhikkhus, that in these five cases you inflict punishment upon a novice.’ 2. Now the Bhikkhus thought: ‘What punishment are we to inflict ?’ They told this thing to the Blessed One. ‘I prescribe, O Bhikkhus, that you forbid them (certain places, for instance, their own residences).’ At that time Bhikkhus forbad novices the whole Samghérama. The novices, who were not admitted to the Samgh4rdma, went away, or returned to the world, or went over to Titthiya schools. They told this thing to the Blessed One. I, 58. ADMISSION TO THE ORDER OF BHIKKHUS, 213 ‘Let them not, O Bhikkhus, forbid (novices) the whole Samgh4rama. He who does so, commits a dukkaZa offence. I prescribe, O Bhikkhus, that (the Bhikkhus) forbid (a novice) the place where he lives or which he uses to frequent.’ 3. At that time Bhikkhus forbad the novices the use of (certain kinds of) food that is taken with the mouth. People, when they prepared rice-milk to drink or meals for the Samgha, said to the novices: ‘Come, reverend Sirs, drink rice-milk ; come, reverend Sirs, take food.’ The novices replied: ‘It is impossible, friends; the Bhikkhus have issued a-forewarning (against us).’ The people were annoyed, murmured, and became angry, thinking: ‘ How can their reverences forbid novices the use of all food that is taken with the mouth ?’ They told this thing to the Blessed One. ‘Let them not, O Bhikkhus, forbid (novices) food that is taken with the mouth. He who does so, commits a dukkadZa offence.’ End of the section about punishment (of novices). 58. At that time the Kabbaggiya! Bhikkhus laid a ban upon novices without the consent of the upagghayas (of those novices). The upagg/dyas 1 Here first appear the Khabbaggiya Bhikkhus (the company of the ‘six Bhikkhus’, with their attendants), the constant and indefatigable evil-doers throughout the whole Vinaya-Pi/aka. Buddhaghosa (on Xullavagga I, 1) says that Paduka and Lohitaka belonged to this company, and also Assagi and Punabbasu are mentioned as Khabbaggiyas (see Childers s. v. Ahabbaggiyo). 214 MAHAVAGGA. I, 59. searched after them, thinking: ‘How is it that our novices have disappeared?’ The Bhikkhus said: ‘The Khabbaggiya Bhikkhus, friends, have laid a ban upon them.’ The upagg4yas were annoyed, &c.: ‘How can the Ahabbaggiya Bhikkhus lay a ban upon our novices without having obtained our consent ?’ They told this thing to the Blessed One. ‘Let no one, O Bhikkhus, lay a ban (upon novices) without consent of the upagg#A4yas. He who does, commits a dukka/Za offence.’ 59. At that time the Aabbaggiya Bhikkhus drew the novices of senior Bhikkhus over (to themselves). The Theras, who were obliged to get themselves teeth-cleansers and water to rinse their mouths with, became tired. They told this thing to the Blessed One. ‘Let no one, O Bhikkhus, draw the followers of another Bhikkhu over to himself. He who does, commits a dukka/Za offence.’ 60.
2The Theras, who were obliged to get themselves teeth-cleansers and water to rinse their mouths with, became tired. They told this thing to the Blessed One. ‘Let no one, O Bhikkhus, draw the followers of another Bhikkhu over to himself. He who does, commits a dukka/Za offence.’ 60. At that time a novice, Kazdaka by name, who was a follower of the venerable Upananda Sakyaputta, had sexual intercourse with a Bhikkhunt, Kandaké by name. The Bhikkhus were annoyed, &c.: ‘How can a novice abandon himself to such conduct ?’ I, 61. ADMISSION TO THE ORDER OF BHIKKHUS. 215 They told this thing to the Blessed One. ‘I prescribe, O Bhikkhus, that you expel a novice (from the fraternity) in the following ten cases: When he destroys life; when he commits theft ; when he commits impurity; when he is a liar; when he drinks strong drinks; when he speaks against the Buddha; when he speaks against the Dhamma; when he speaks against the Samgha; when he holds false doctrines ; when he has sexual intercourse with Bhikkhunis!. In these ten cases I prescribe, O Bhikkhus, that you expel the novice (from the fraternity). 61, At that time, &c.? ‘Let a eunuch, O Bhikkhus, who has not received the upasampada ordination, not receive it; if he has received it, let him be expelled (from the fraternity).’ 1 The case of the novice’s committing sexual intercourse with a Bhikkhunf can have found its place here only by a negligence of the redactor, as it is comprised already in the third of the ten cases (the novice’s committing impurity). Buddhaghosa (who of course never admits anything like an inadvertence of the holy Theras by whom the Vinaya is compiled) says that the third case and the tenth are distinguished here, because a person that has simply committed an impurity may receive the ordination, if he is willing to refrain himself in future; whilst a bhikkhunfdfisaka cannot be ordained in any case (see chap. 67). ® Tena kho pana samayena afifiataro pandako bhikkhfisu pabbagito hoti, so dahare dahare bhikkhf upasamkamitva evam vadeti: etha mam dyasmanto dfsetha ’ti.

At that time there was a certain person of an old family, whose kinsmen had died away; he was delicately nurtured. Now this person of an old family, whose kinsmen had died away, thought: ‘I am delicately nurtured; I am not able to acquire new riches or to augment the riches which I possess. What shall I do in order that I may live a life of ease and without pain?’
3Now this person of an old family, whose kinsmen had died away, thought: ‘I am delicately nurtured; I am not able to acquire new riches or to augment the riches which I possess. What shall I do in order that I may live a life of ease and without pain?’ Then this person of an old family, whose kinsmen had died away, gave himself the following answer: ‘There are the Sakyaputtiya Samazas, who keep commodious precepts and live a commodious life; they have good meals and lie down on beds protected from wind. What if I were to procure myself an alms-bowl and robes on my own account, and were to have my hair and beard cut off, to put on yellow robes, to go to the ArAma, and to live there with the Bhikkhus.’ 2. Then that person of an old family, whose kinsmen had died away, procured himself an almsbowl and robes on his own account, had his hair and beard cut off, put on yellow robes, went to the Ardma, and respectfully saluted the Bhikkhus.

Then that person of an old family, whose kinsmen had died away, when being examined by the venerable Updli, told him the whole matter. The venerable U p4li told this thing to the Bhikkhus ; the Bhikkhus told this thing to the Blessed One. ‘Let a person, O Bhikkhus, who has furtively attached himself to the Samgha, if he has not received the upasampada4 ordination, not receive it ; if he has received it, let him be expelled (from the fraternity). ‘Let a person, O Bhikkhus, who has gone over to the Titthiyas’ (&c., as in chap. 61). 63. 1.
