Then the people on beholding that Bhikkhu, said, ‘Who is this fellow like a fool of fools, or like an idiot of idiots, or like a simpleton of simpletons?? Who would give an alms when this fellow comes near! Now our own masters, the followers of Assagi and Punabbasu, are gentle, friendly, pleasant in speech, radiant with smiles, by no means fools, but open in countenance, and the first to speak. To such now it is fit to give an alms!’

Now our own masters, the followers of Assagi and Punabbasu, are gentle, friendly, pleasant in speech, radiant with smiles, by no means fools, but open in countenance, and the first to speak. To such now it is fit to give an alms!’ And a certain lay-disciple saw that Bhikkhu as he was going along the Ki/4 Hill for alms. And on seeing him, he went up to the place where he was ; and on coming there he said to that Bhikkhu: ‘Has your reverence received an alms ?’ ‘No, my friend, I have received no alms!’ ‘Come, your reverence! Let us go to my house!’ 4. So the lay-disciple took the Bhikkhu to his house, and gave him to eat, and asked him: ‘Whither then is your reverence going ?’ ‘Iam on my way to SAvatthi, my friend, to visit -the Blessed One.’ ‘Then let your reverence bow down at the feet of the Blessed One in my name, and say, “The residence on the Kiz4 Hill, Lord, has been spoiled. The Bhikkhus who are followers of Assagi and Punabbasu are dwelling on the Ki‘é Hill, wicked Bhikkhus, and shameless. Such as these are the 1 Compare Mahé4-parinibbana Sutta IT, 15. _* The Sam.

And people, Lord, who were formerly believers and full of faith, are now become nonbelievers and void of faith; the opportunities of alms that were formerly open to the Samgha are now destroyed; worthy Bhikkhus forsake, and wicked Bhikkhus dwell in the place. Let, Lord, the Blessed One be pleased to send (other) Bhikkhus to the Ki¢4 Hill in order that the residence there may be re-established.”’ 5. ‘Very well, my friend, said the Bhikkhu, in assent, to that lay-disciple. And rising from his seat, he set out for Sdvatthi, and went straight on to Andtha-piadika’s grove, to the Getavana in . Savatthi, to the place where the Blessed One was staying. And on arriving there he saluted the Blessed One, and took his seat on one side. Now it is the custom for the Blessed Buddhas to exchange words of greeting with in-coming Bhikkhus. And the Blessed One said to that Bhikkhu, ‘Do things go well with you, O Bhikkhu? Have you enough for your support? Have you accomplished your journey without too much fatigue ? And whence, O Bhikkhu, have you come ?’ ‘Things go well with me, Lord. I have enough for my support. And I have accomplished my journey without too much fatigue. I have spent the rainy season, Lord, in the land of K4si; and on my way to SAvatthi to visit the Blessed One I arrived at the Ki44 Hill. And after having dressed early in the morning, I went, Lord, duly bowled and robed, on to the Ki¢a Hill for alms.

Then the Blessed One on that occasion, and in that connection, convened a meeting of the Bhikkhu-Samgha, and asked the Bhikkhus : ‘Is it true, O Bhikkhus, as they say, that those Bhikkhus who are followers of Assagi and Punabbasu, and are dwelling on the Ki¢4 Hill, are wicked Bhikkhus, and shameless; and that such are the evil practices they follow (&c., as in 4 4, down to the end) ?’ ‘It is true, Lord.’ The Blessed Buddha rebuked them, saying, ‘ How can they, O Bhikkhus, foolish persons that they are, follow such practices as these (&c., as in §§ 1, 2, down to the end)? This will not conduce, O Bhikkhus, to the conversion of the unconverted (&c., as usual. Compare chap. 1, § 2, down to the end).’ And when the Blessed Buddha had rebuked them, and had delivered a religious discourse, he addressed the venerable S4riputta and Moggallana, and said, ‘Go now, Sariputta and Moggalléna?, to the Kiéa Hill. And on arriving there carry out the Pabbéaganiya-kamma (Act of Banishment?) against those Bhikkhus who are followers of Assagi and Punabbasu, to the effect that they may become your Saddhi-viharikas&’ x On this meaning of S4riputta, see the note on Mahavagga 1 4, 3- * That is, out of the particular place where they have caused the scandal, not of the Order.

In the first place the Bhikkhus who are followers of Assagi and Punabbasu ought to be warned: when they have been warned, they ought to be reminded (of the Rule in the P4timokkha against which they have offended); when they have been reminded they ought to be charged with the offence ; when they have been charged some discreet and able Bhikkhu ought to lay the matter before the Samgha, saying, ‘“Let the venerable Samgha hear me.
