1If the Samgha is ready, let the Samgha hold Pavaraza with the twofold formula, or with the onefold formula, or by common declaration of all the Bhikkhus who have kept Vassa together.” 4. ‘In case, O Bhikkhus, in a certain district on the day of Pav4raw4 the greater part of the night has passed away while the Bhikkhus were in confusion : the Bhikkhus were reciting the Dhamma, those versed in the Suttantas were propounding the Suttantas, those versed in the Vinaya were discussing the Vinaya, the Dhamma preachers were talking about the Dhamma. Now if those Bhikkhus think : “The greater part of the night has passed away while the Bhikkhus were in confusion. If the Samgha performs Pavaraz4 with the threefold formula, it will not have finished the Pav4raza when day breaks,” let a learned, competent Bhikkhu proclaim the following #atti before the Samgha: “Let the Samgha, &c. The greater part of the night has passed away while the Bhikkhus were in confusion. If the Samgha performs Pavaraza (&c. as in § 3).”’ 5. At that time in a certain district in the Kosala country a great assembly of Bhikkhus had come together on the day of Pav4ravza, and there was but a small place protected from rain, and a great cloud was in the sky. Now the Bhikkhus thought: ‘A great assembly of Bhikkhus has come together Zz 2 340 MAHAVAGGA. IV, 15, 6. here, and there is but a small place protected from rain, and a great cloud is in the sky. If the Samgha performs Pav4raz4 with the threefold formula, it will not have finished the Pav4raza when this cloud will begin to rain. Well, what are we to do ?’ They told this thing to the Blessed One. 6. ‘In case, O Bhikkhus, in a certain district a great assembly of Bhikkhus has come together on the day of Pavarav4, and there is but a small place protected from rain, and a great cloud is in the sky.

Now if those Bhikkhus think: “ Here is danger for our chastity. If the Samgha performs Pav4drazA with the threefold formula, it will not have finished the Pav4raz& when this danger for chastity will arise,” let a learned, competent Bhikkhu....’ (&c., as in § 3 to the end). 16. 1. At that time the Adabbaggiya Bhikkhus held Pavaraza being guilty of an offence. They told this thing to the Blessed One. ‘Let no one, O Bhikkhus, hold Pavdaraz& who is guilty of an offence. He who does, commits a IV, 16, 3. THE PAVARANA CEREMONY. I 3 dukka?¢a offence. I prescribe, O. Bhikkhus, that you ask a Bhikkhu who holds Pavdrazaé being guilty of an offence, for his leave! and reprove him for that offence.’
2‘Let no one, O Bhikkhus, hold Pavdaraz& who is guilty of an offence. He who does, commits a IV, 16, 3. THE PAVARANA CEREMONY. I 3 dukka?¢a offence. I prescribe, O. Bhikkhus, that you ask a Bhikkhu who holds Pavdrazaé being guilty of an offence, for his leave! and reprove him for that offence.’ 2. At that time the AZabbaggiya Bhikkhus, when asked for leave, were not willing to give leave (to Bhikkhus who were going to reprove them for an offence). They told this thing to the Blessed One. ‘I prescribe, O Bhikkhus, that you inhibit the Pavaraza of a Bhikkhu who does not give leave. And you ought to inhibit it, O Bhikkhus, in this way: Let (a Bhikkhu) say on the day of Pavaraza, on the fourteenth or on the fifteenth day (of the half month), in presence of that person, before the assembled Samgha: “ Let the Samgha, reverend Sirs, hear me. Such and such a person is guilty of an offence; I inhibit his Pavaraz4; PavaéranzA must not be held in his presence.” Thus his Pavaraza is inhibited. 3. At that time the Aabbaggiya Bhikkhus, who thought: ‘Otherwise good Bhikkhus might inhibit our Pavdraza, themselves inhibited beforehand, without object and reason, the Pavaraza of pure Bhikkhus who had committed no offence, and they also inhibited the Pav4raz4 of Bhikkhus who had already performed their Pavéraza. They told this thing to the Blessed One. ‘Let no one, O Bhikkhus, inhibit, without object and reason, the Pavaraza4 of pure Bhikkhus who have committed no offence. He who does, commits a dukkaZa offence. And further, O Bhikkhus, let no 1 Comp. II, 16, 1. 342 MAHAVAGGA. IV, 16, 4. one inhibit the Pavdarawz4 of Bhikkhus who have already performed their Pavaraza. He who does, commits a dukka/Za offence. 4. ‘And thus, O Bhikkhus, (you may discern whether) the Pavaraza is (duly) inhibited or not inhibited. ‘In what cases is the Pavaraz4, O Bhikkhus, not inhibited? When Pavdraza, O Bhikkhus, is pronounced, declared, and finished with the threefold formula, and if (a Bhikkhu then) inhibits the Pavd4razA (of another Bhikkhu), the Pavaraza is not inhibited.

In these cases, O Bhikkhus, the PavarazA is inhibited. 6. ‘In case, O Bhikkhus, one Bhikkhu, on the day of Pavdraz4, inhibits the Pavdrawz& of another Bhikkhu: then if the other Bhikkhus know with regard to that (inhibiting) Bhikkhu: “This vene- 1 Correct in the Pali text pariyositaya into apariyositaya.
