1That is what belongs therein to the Proceeding for those who are obstinate. ‘When a legal question, O Bhikkhus, has been thus settled, if a disputant re-open the question, such re-opening is a Pafittiya. If one who has conveyed his consent complain of the decision, such complaint is a Pa&ittiya. 30. ‘By how many modes of settlement is a legal question arising out of offence settled? A legal question arising out of offence is settled by three modes of settlement—to wit, by the Proceeding in Presence, and by the Proceeding on confession of guilt, and by the Proceeding by covering over as with grass. ; ‘If one should ask, “Can it be that a legal question arising out of offence, without recourse being had to the one mode of settlement—to wit, the Proceeding by covering over as with grass— may be settled by the other two modes—to wit, the Proceeding in Presence,-and the Proceeding on confession of guilt?” he should be told, “Yes, it can.” If he should say, ‘How may that be ?” the answer should be as follows : 62 KULLAVAGGA. IV, 14, 30. ‘In case a Bhikkhu has been guilty of a minor offence. That Bhikkhu, O Bhikkhus, should go up to another Bhikkhu, and having arranged his upper robe over one shoulder, and squatted down on his heels, and stretched forth his hands with the palms held together, should speak as follows : “I, Sir, have been guilty of such and such an offence; and that I confess.” He should say, “Do you acknowledge it?” “Yes; I acknowledge it.” “ May you restrain yourself in future?!” ‘This, O Bhikkhus, is called a legal question which has been settled.

And at that time the Ksabbaggiya Bhikkhus, when bathing, used to rub! their bodies—thighs, and arms, and breast, and back—against wood. The people were annoyed, murmured, and became indignant, saying, ‘How can the Sakyaputtiya Samamas do so, like wrestlers, boxers, or shampooers??’ The Bhikkhus heard the people so murmuring, &c. ; and they told the matter to the Blessed One. Then the Blessed One, on that occasion and in that connection, having convened a meeting of the Bhikkhu-samgha, asked the Bhikkhus: ‘Is this true, O Bhikkhus, what they say, that the A/abbaggiya Bhikkhus, when bathing, rub (&c., as before) ?’ ‘It is true, Lord.’ 1 Ugghamseti.
