- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:1.1
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.
At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:1.2
Tena kho pana samayena bhagavatā bhikkhunīnaṁ udakasāṭikā anuññātā hoti.
At that time the Buddha had allowed bathing robes for the nuns.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:1.3
Chabbaggiyā bhikkhuniyo—
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:1.4
“bhagavatā udakasāṭikā anuññātā”ti appamāṇikāyo udakasāṭikāyo dhāresuṁ.
Knowing this, the nuns from the group of six wore bathing robes of inappropriate size.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:1.5
Puratopi pacchatopi ākaḍḍhantā āhiṇḍanti.
As they were walking about, they were dragging them along, both in front and behind.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:1.6
Yā tā bhikkhuniyo appicchā …pe… tā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
The nuns of few desires complained and criticized them,
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:1.7
“kathañhi nāma chabbaggiyā bhikkhuniyo appamāṇikāyo udakasāṭikāyo dhāressantī”ti …pe…
“How can the nuns from the group of six wear such bathing robes?” …
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:1.8
“saccaṁ kira, bhikkhave, chabbaggiyā bhikkhuniyo appamāṇikāyo udakasāṭikāyo dhārentī”ti?
“Is it true, monks, that the nuns from the group of six do this?”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:1.9
“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.
“It’s true, sir.”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:1.10
Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…
The Buddha rebuked them …
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:1.11
kathañhi nāma, bhikkhave, chabbaggiyā bhikkhuniyo appamāṇikāyo udakasāṭikāyo dhāressanti.
“How can the nuns from the group of six wear such bathing robes?
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:1.12
Netaṁ, bhikkhave, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…
This will affect people’s confidence …” …
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:1.13
evañca pana, bhikkhave, bhikkhuniyo imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddisantu—
“And, monks, the nuns should recite this training rule like this:
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:1.14.1
“Udakasāṭikaṁ pana bhikkhuniyā kārayamānāya pamāṇikā kāretabbā. Tatridaṁ pamāṇaṁ—dīghaso catasso vidatthiyo, sugatavidatthiyā; tiriyaṁ dve vidatthiyo. Taṁ atikkāmentiyā chedanakaṁ pācittiyan”ti.
‘If a nun is having a bathing robe made, it should be made the right size. This is the right size: four standard handspans long and two wide. If it exceeds that, it is to be cut down, and she commits an offense entailing confession.’”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:2.1.1
Udakasāṭikā nāma
A bathing robe:
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:2.1.2
yāya nivatthā nahāyati.
wearing it as a sarong, she bathes.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:2.1.3
Kārayamānāyāti
Is having made:
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:2.1.4
karontiyā vā kārāpentiyā vā. Pamāṇikā kāretabbā.
making it herself or having someone else make it, it should be made the right size.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:2.1.5
Tatridaṁ pamāṇaṁ— dīghaso catasso vidatthiyo, sugatavidatthiyā; tiriyaṁ dve vidatthiyo.
This is the right size: four standard handspans long and two wide.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:2.1.6
Taṁ atikkāmetvā karoti vā kārāpeti vā, payoge dukkaṭaṁ.
If she makes one or has one made that exceeds that, then for the effort there is an act of wrong conduct.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:2.1.7
Paṭilābhena chinditvā pācittiyaṁ desetabbaṁ.
When she gets it, it is to be cut down, and she is then to confess an offense entailing confession.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:2.1.8.1
Attanā vippakataṁ attanā pariyosāpeti, āpatti pācittiyassa.
If she finishes what she began herself, she commits an offense entailing confession.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:2.1.9
Attanā vippakataṁ parehi pariyosāpeti, āpatti pācittiyassa.
If she has others finish what she began herself, she commits an offense entailing confession.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:2.1.10
Parehi vippakataṁ attanā pariyosāpeti, āpatti pācittiyassa.
If she finishes herself what was begun by others, she commits an offense entailing confession.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:2.1.11
Parehi vippakataṁ parehi pariyosāpeti, āpatti pācittiyassa.
If she has others finish what was begun by others, she commits an offense entailing confession.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:2.1.12
Aññassatthāya karoti vā kārāpeti vā, āpatti dukkaṭassa.
If she makes one or has one made for the benefit of someone else, she commits an offense of wrong conduct.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:2.1.13
Aññena kataṁ paṭilabhitvā paribhuñjati, āpatti dukkaṭassa.
If she gets one that was made by someone else and then uses it, she commits an offense of wrong conduct.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:2.2.1
Anāpatti—
There is no offense:
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:2.2.2
pamāṇikaṁ karoti,
if she makes it the right size;
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:2.2.3
ūnakaṁ karoti,
if she makes it smaller than the right size;
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:2.2.4
aññena kataṁ pamāṇātikkantaṁ paṭilabhitvā chinditvā paribhuñjati,
if she gets one made by someone else that exceeds the right size and she cuts it down before using it;
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:2.2.5
vitānaṁ vā bhūmattharaṇaṁ vā sāṇipākāraṁ vā bhisiṁ vā bibbohanaṁ vā karoti,
if she makes a canopy, a floor cover, a cloth screen, a mattress, or a pillow;
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:2.2.6
ummattikāya,
if she is insane;
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:2.2.7
ādikammikāyāti.
if she is the first offender.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc22:2.2.8
Dutiyasikkhāpadaṁ niṭṭhitaṁ.
The second training rule is finished.
