1‘I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to enter upon Vassa in a caravan.’ At that time a Bhikkhu, when the time for entering upon Vassa approached, desired to go on a journey in a ship. They told this thing to the Blessed One. ‘I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to enter upon Vassa in a ship.’ 3. At that time some Bhikkhus entered upon Vassa in a hollow tree. People were annoyed, murmured, and became angry: ‘(These Bhikkhus behave) like goblins? They told this thing to the Blessed One. ‘Let no one, O Bhikkhus, enter upon Vassa ina hollow tree. He who does, commits a dukkaéa offence.’ 4. At that time some Bhikkhus entered upon Vassa on a branch ofa tree. People were annoyed, &c.: ‘(These Bhikkhus behave) like huntsmen.’ They told this thing to the Blessed One. ‘Let no one, O Bhikkhus, enter upon Vassa ona branch of a tree. He who does, commits a dukkaéa offence.’ 5. At that time some Bhikkhus entered upon Vassa in the open air. When it began to rain, * This must be about the sense of pis4Aillika (comp.

RESIDENCE DURING THE RAINY SEASON. 319 they ran up to the foot of a tree, or to the hollow of a Nimba tree. They told this thing to the Blessed One. ‘Let no one, O Bhikkhus, enter upon Vassa in the open air. He who does, commits a dukka/Za offence,’ 6. At that time some Bhikkhus entered upon Vassa without having a place of rest. They suffered from coldness and heat. They told this thing to the Blessed One. ‘Let no one, O Bhikkhus, enter upon Vassa without having a place of rest. He who does, commits a dukka#a offence.’ 7. At that time some Bhikkhus entered upon Vassa in a house for keeping dead bodies in. People were annoyed, &c.: ‘(These Bhikkhus are) like those who burn corpses.’ They told this thing to the Blessed One. ‘Let no one, O Bhikkhus, enter upon Vassa in a house for keeping dead bodies. He who does, commits a dukka/Za offence.’ 8. At that time some Bhikkhus entered upon Vassa under a sun-shade. People were annoyed, &c.: ‘Like cowherds.’ They told this thing to the Blessed One. ‘Let no one, O Bhikkhus, enter upon Vassa under a sun-shade. He who does, commits a dukkaza offence.’ 9. At that time some Bhikkhus entered upon Vassa under an earthenware vessel. People were annoyed, &c.: ‘ Like Titthiyas.’ They told this thing to the Blessed One. ‘Let no one, O Bhikkhus, enter upon Vassa under an earthenware vessel. He who does, commits a dukka/¢a offence.’ 320 MAHAVAGGA. III, 13, 1. 13.

He who does, commits a dukka/¢a offence.’ 320 MAHAVAGGA. III, 13, 1. 13. 1. At that time the Samgha at Savatthi had made an agreement that nobody should receive the pabbagg4 ordination during the rainy season. A grandson of Visakha Migaéramata! went to the Bhikkhus and asked them for the pabbag4 ordination. The Bhikkhus said to him: ‘The Samgha, friend, has made an agreement that nobody shall receive the pabbagg4 ordination during the rainy season. Wait, friend, as long as the Bhikkhus keep Vassa; when they have concluded the Vassa residence, they will confer on you the pabbagg4 ordination.’ When those Bhikkhus had concluded the Vassa residence, they said to the grandson of Visékhé Migaramata : ‘Come now, friend, you may receive the pabbagg4 ordination.’ He replied: ‘If I had received the pabbagga ordination before, reverend Sirs, I should remain (in the religious life), but now, reverend Sirs, I will not receive the pabbaggAé ordination.’ 2, Visdkha Migéramaté was annoyed, murmured, and became angry (saying), ‘How can the noble ones make such an agreement that nobody shall receive the pabbaggaé ordination during the rainy season? At what time ought the duties of the Dhamma not to be performed?’ Some Bhikkhus heard Vis&kh4 Mig4ramaté, who was annoyed, murmured, and had become angry. ? Visdkha was the most distinguished among the up4sik4s, and occupied a place among them similar to that which Anathapindika, with whom she is frequently mentioned together, did among the upasakas. See Dhammapada Asshak. p. 78, &c. III, 14,3. RESIDENCE DURING THE RAINY SEASON. 321 Those Bhikkhus told the thing to the Blessed One. ‘Such an agreement, O Bhikkhus, ought not to be made—that nobody shall receive the pabbaggaé ordination during the rainy season. He who makes (an agreement like this), commits a dukkaZa offence.’ 14, 1. At that time the venerable Upananda Sakyaputta had promised to king Pasenadi of Kosala to take up his Vassa residence (with him) at the earlier period!, When he was going to the district (where he had consented to go to), he saw on his way two districts in which there were plenty of robes, and he thought : ‘What if I were to keep Vassa in these two districts; thus shall I obtain many robes.’ And he kept Vassa in those two districts. King Pasenadi of Kosala was annoyed, murmured, and became angry (saying), ‘How can the noble Upananda Sakyaputta, after he has promised us to take up his Vassa residence (with us), break his word ? Has not falsehood been reproved, and abstinence from falsehood been praised by the Blessed One in many ways?’
3Has not falsehood been reproved, and abstinence from falsehood been praised by the Blessed One in many ways?’ 2. Some Bhikkhus heard king Pasenadi of Kosala, who was annoyed, &c. The moderate Bhikkhus were annoyed, murmured, and became angry (saying), ‘How can the venerable Upananda Sakyaputta, after he has promised to king Pasenadi of Kosala, &c. ? Has not falsehood ... .

In consequence of that, the Blessed One, after having ordered the fraternity of Bhikkhus to assemble, asked the venerable Upananda Sakyaputta: ‘Is it true, Upananda, that you have broken your word, having promised to king Pasenadi of Kosala to take up your Vassa residence (with him)?’ ‘It is true, Lord?’ Then the blessed Buddha rebuked him: ‘How can you, O foolish one, break your word, having promised, &c.? Has not falsehood, O foolish one, been reproved, and abstinence from falsehood been praised by me in many ways? This will not do, O foolish one, for converting the unconverted, and for augmenting the number of the converted, but it will result, O foolish one, in the unconverted being repulsed (from the faith) and many of the converted being estranged.’ Having reproved him and delivered a religious discourse, he thus addressed the Bhikkhus: 4. ‘In case, O Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu has promised (to a lay-devotee) to take up his Vassa residence (with him) at the earlier period, and when he goes to that district, he sees on his way two districts in which there are plenty of robes, and he thinks: “What if I were to keep Vassa in these two districts ; thus shall I obtain many robes ;” and he keeps Vassa in those two districts. This Bhikkhu’s (entering upon Vassa), O Bhikkhus, (at the) earlier period is not valid, and as to his promise he has committed a dukkaZa offence. 5. ‘In case, O Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu has promised (to a lay-devotee) to take up his Vassa residence (with him) at the earlier period, and when going to that district, he holds Uposatha outside (on the last III, 14,7.
