91. Making an oversize rainy-season robe
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc91:1.1
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-bu-vb-pc91:1.2
Tena kho pana samayena bhagavatā bhikkhūnaṁ vassikasāṭikā anuññātā hoti.
he allowed rainy-season robes for the monks.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc91:1.3
Chabbaggiyā bhikkhū—
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc91:1.4
“bhagavatā vassikasāṭikā anuññātā”ti appamāṇikāyo vassikasāṭikāyo dhārenti.
Knowing this, the monks from the group of six wore rainy-season robes that were inappropriate in size.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc91:1.5
Puratopi pacchatopi ākaḍḍhantā āhiṇḍanti.
As they were walking about, they were dragging them along, both in front and behind.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc91:1.6
Ye te bhikkhū appicchā …pe… te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
The monks of few desires complained and criticized those monks,
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc91:1.7
“kathañhi nāma chabbaggiyā bhikkhū appamāṇikāyo vassikasāṭikāyo dhāressantī”ti …pe…
“How can the monks from the group of six wear such rainy-season robes?” …
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc91:1.8
“saccaṁ kira tumhe, bhikkhave, appamāṇikāyo vassikasāṭikāyo dhārethā”ti?
“Is it true, monks, that you do this?”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc91:1.9
“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.
“It’s true, sir.”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc91:1.10
Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…
The Buddha rebuked them …
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc91:1.11
kathañhi nāma tumhe, moghapurisā, appamāṇikāyo vassikasāṭikāyo dhāressatha.
“Foolish men, how can you do this?
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc91:1.12
Netaṁ, moghapurisā, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…
This will affect people’s confidence …” …
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc91:1.13
evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—
“And, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc91:1.14.1
“Vassikasāṭikaṁ pana bhikkhunā kārayamānena pamāṇikā kāretabbā.
‘If a monk is having a rainy-season robe made, it should be made the right size.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc91:1.15
Tatridaṁ pamāṇaṁ—dīghaso cha vidatthiyo, sugatavidatthiyā; tiriyaṁ aḍḍhateyyā.
This is the right size: six standard handspans long and two-and-a-half wide.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc91:1.16
Taṁ atikkāmayato chedanakaṁ pācittiyan”ti.
If it exceeds that, it is to be cut down, and he commits an offense entailing confession.’”
