1The sabhoganam kulam in the 43rd PA&gittiya has probably nothing to do with this. * When a Bhikkhu behaves towards the laity in any one of the first five of these eight ways the PasisAraniya-kamma is to be carried out against him—that is to say, he has to ask pardon of the layman against whom he has offended. See I, 20. The whole eight recur below, § 6. V, 20,5. ON THE DAILY LIFE OF THE BHIKKHUS. I2I ‘“‘Let the venerable Samgha hear me. Vaddha the Li#ksavi has brought a groundless charge against the venerable Dabba the Mallian of a breach of morality. If the time seems meet to the Samgha, let the Samgha turn down the bowl as respects Vaddha the Li#&éhavi, and make him as one who has no dealings with the Samgha. ‘“ This is the motion (#atti). ‘“Vaddka the Likkhavi has brought a groundless charge against Dabba the Mallian of a breach of morality. The Samgha turns down the bowl as respects Vaddka the Likkhavi, and makes him as one who has no dealings with the Samgha. Whosoever of the venerable ones approves of the bowl being turned down as regards Vaddha the Litshavi, and of making him as one who has no dealings with the Samgha, let him keep silence. Whosoever approves not thereof, let him speak. ‘“Phe bow! is turned down by the Samgha as regards Vaddha the Likéhavi, he is as one who has no dealings with the Samgha. The Samgha approves thereof. Therefore is it silent. Thus do I understand.”’ 5. Then the venerable Ananda, having dressed himself early in the morning, went, duly bowled and robed, to the residence of Vaddha the Likfhavi. And when he had come there he spake to Vaddha the Liféhavi, and said: ‘ The bowl, friend Vaddha, has been turned down by the Samgha as regards you, and you are as one who has no dealings with the Samgha.’ And Vaddha the Likéfavi, on hearing that saying, immediately! fainted and fell. * Literally, ‘on that very spot.’ 122 KULLAVAGGA. V, 20, 5. Then the friends and companions of Vaddha the Lifffavi, and his relatives of one blood with him, said to him; ‘It is enough, friend Vaddka. Weep not, neither lament. We will reconcile! the Blessed One to you, and the Order of Bhikkhus.’ And Vaddhka the Liféhavi, with his wife and his children, and with his friends and companions, and with his relatives of one blood with him, went up, with wet garments and with streaming hair, to the place where the Blessed One was; and when he had come there, he cast himself down with his head at the feet of the Blessed One, and said: ‘Sin has overcome me, Lord—even according to my weakness, according to ‘my folly, according to my unrighteousness—in that without ground I brought a charge against Dabba the Mallian of a breach of morality. In respect thereof may my Lord the Blessed One accept the confession I make of my sin in its sinfulness*, to the end that I may in future restrain myself therefrom®.’
2In respect thereof may my Lord the Blessed One accept the confession I make of my sin in its sinfulness*, to the end that I may in future restrain myself therefrom®.’ ‘Verily, O friend Vaddha, sin hath overcome you—even according to your weakness, and according to your folly, and according to your unrighteousness—in that you brought without ground against Dabba the Mallian a charge of breach of morality. But since you, O friend Vaddka, look upon your sin as sin, and make amends for it as is meet, we do accept at your hands your confession of it.

Then the Blessed One addressed the Bhikkhus, and said: ‘Let then the Samgha turn up the bowl again as regards Vaddha the Likgdavi, and make him as one who has dealings with the Samgha. ‘There are eight things, O Bhikkhus, which when they characterise an Updsaka the bowl should be turned up again as regards him ;—when he goes not about to bring loss of gifts on the Bhikkhus, when he goes not about to bring harm to the Bhikkhus, when he goes not about to cause the Bhikkhus to want a place of residence, when he reviles or slanders not the Bhikkhus, when he causes not divisions between Bhikkhus and Bhikkhus;—when he speaks not in dispraise of the Buddha ;—when he speaks not in dispraise of the Dhamma ;—when he speaks not in dispraise of the Samgha. 7. ‘And thus, O Bhikkhus, is the bowl to be turned up*.

Unless these words have been introduced by mistake from the corresponding passage in I, 8 (which is not probable), they show that the uttardsanga (on which see the note on Mah4vagga VIII, 13, 4) was also worn by laymen.
