31. Lying on the same bed
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:1.1
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.
At one time when the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery,
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:1.2
Tena kho pana samayena bhikkhuniyo dve ekamañce tuvaṭṭenti.
two nuns were lying down on the same bed.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:1.3
Manussā vihāracārikaṁ āhiṇḍantā passitvā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
When people walking about the dwellings saw this, they complained and criticized them,
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:1.4
“kathañhi nāma bhikkhuniyo dve ekamañce tuvaṭṭessanti, seyyathāpi gihiniyo kāmabhoginiyo”ti.
“How can two nuns lie down on the same bed? They’re just like householders who indulge in worldly pleasures!”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:1.5
Assosuṁ kho bhikkhuniyo tesaṁ manussānaṁ ujjhāyantānaṁ khiyyantānaṁ vipācentānaṁ.
The nuns heard the complaints of those people,
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:1.6
Yā tā bhikkhuniyo appicchā …pe… tā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
and the nuns of few desires complained and criticized them,
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:1.7
“kathañhi nāma bhikkhuniyo dve ekamañce tuvaṭṭessantī”ti …pe…
“How can nuns do this?” …
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:1.8
“saccaṁ kira, bhikkhave, bhikkhuniyo dve ekamañce tuvaṭṭentī”ti?
“Is it true, monks, that nuns do this?”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:1.9
“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.
“It’s true, sir.”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:1.10
Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…
The Buddha rebuked them …
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:1.11
kathañhi nāma, bhikkhave, bhikkhuniyo dve ekamañce tuvaṭṭessanti.
“How can nuns do this?
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:1.12
Netaṁ, bhikkhave, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…
This will affect people’s confidence …” …
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:1.13
evañca pana, bhikkhave, bhikkhuniyo imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddisantu—
“And, monks, the nuns should recite this training rule like this:
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:1.14.1
“Yā pana bhikkhuniyo dve ekamañce tuvaṭṭeyyuṁ, pācittiyan”ti.
‘If two nuns lie down on the same bed, they commit an offense entailing confession.’”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:2.1.1
Yā panāti
Two:
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:2.1.2
yā yādisā …pe…
whoever …
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:2.1.3
bhikkhuniyoti
Nuns:
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:2.1.4
upasampannāyo vuccanti.
fully ordained is what is meant.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:2.1.5
Dve ekamañce tuvaṭṭeyyunti
If two lie down on the same bed:
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:2.1.6
ekāya nipannāya aparā nipajjati, āpatti pācittiyassa.
if, when one is lying down, the other lies down, they commit an offense entailing confession.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:2.1.7
Ubho vā nipajjanti, āpatti pācittiyassa.
If both lie down together, they commit an offense entailing confession.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:2.1.8
Uṭṭhahitvā punappunaṁ nipajjanti, āpatti pācittiyassa.
Every time they get up and then lie down again, they commit an offense entailing confession.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:2.2.1
Anāpatti—
There is no offense:
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:2.2.2
ekāya nipannāya aparā nisīdati,
if, when one is lying down, the other sits down;
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:2.2.3
ubho vā nisīdanti,
if both sit down together;
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:2.2.4
ummattikānaṁ,
if they are insane;
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:2.2.5
ādikammikānanti.
if they are the first offenders.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc31:2.2.6
Paṭhamasikkhāpadaṁ niṭṭhitaṁ.
The first training rule is finished.
