At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery.
pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:1.1.2
Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā udāyī araññe viharati.
At that time Venerable Udāyī was staying in a beautiful dwelling in the wilderness.

pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:1.1.4
Tena kho pana samayena sambahulā itthiyo ārāmaṁ āgamaṁsu vihārapekkhikāyo.
On one occasion a number of women came to the monastery to see the dwellings.
pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:1.1.5
Atha kho tā itthiyo yenāyasmā udāyī tenupasaṅkamiṁsu;
They approached Udāyī
pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:1.1.6
upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ etadavocuṁ—
and said,
pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:1.1.7
“icchāma mayaṁ, bhante, ayyassa vihāraṁ pekkhitun”ti.
“Venerable, we would like to see your dwelling.”
pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:1.1.8
Atha kho āyasmā udāyī tā itthiyo vihāraṁ pekkhāpetvā tāsaṁ itthīnaṁ vaccamaggaṁ passāvamaggaṁ ādissa vaṇṇampi bhaṇati avaṇṇampi bhaṇati yācatipi āyācatipi pucchatipi paṭipucchatipi ācikkhatipi anusāsatipi akkosatipi.
Then, after showing them his dwelling, he praised and disparaged their private parts; he requested and implored, asked and enquired, described, instructed, and abused their private parts.
pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:1.1.9
Yā tā itthiyo chinnikā dhuttikā ahirikāyo tā āyasmatā udāyinā saddhiṁ uhasantipi ullapantipi ujjagghantipi uppaṇḍentipi.
The shameless and indecent women flirted with Udāyī; they called out to him, laughed with him, and teased him.
pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:1.1.10
Yā pana tā itthiyo hirimanā tā nikkhamitvā bhikkhū ujjhāpenti—
But after leaving, those of them who had a sense of shame complained to the monks,
pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:1.1.11
“idaṁ, bhante, nacchannaṁ nappatirūpaṁ.
“Venerables, this isn’t suitable or appropriate.
pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:1.1.12
Sāmikenapi mayaṁ evaṁ vuttā na iccheyyāma, kiṁ panāyyena udāyinā”ti.
We wouldn’t want to hear such speech from our own husbands, let alone from Venerable Udāyī.”
pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:1.2.1
Ye te bhikkhū appicchā …pe… te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
The monks of few desires complained and criticized him,
pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:1.2.2
“kathañhi nāma āyasmā udāyī mātugāmaṁ duṭṭhullāhi vācāhi obhāsissatī”ti.
“How could Venerable Udāyī speak indecently to women?”
pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:1.2.3
Atha kho te bhikkhū āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ anekapariyāyena vigarahitvā bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.
They rebuked Udāyī in many ways and told the Buddha.
pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:1.2.4
Atha kho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe bhikkhusaṅghaṁ sannipātāpetvā āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ paṭipucchi—
The Buddha had the Sangha gathered and questioned Udāyī:
pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:1.2.5
“saccaṁ kira tvaṁ, udāyi, mātugāmaṁ duṭṭhullāhi vācāhi obhāsasī”ti?
“Is it true, Udāyī, that you spoke like this?”
pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:1.2.6
“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.
“It’s true, sir.”
pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:1.2.7
Vigarahi buddho bhagavā—
The Buddha rebuked him,
pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:1.2.8
“ananucchavikaṁ, moghapurisa, ananulomikaṁ appatirūpaṁ assāmaṇakaṁ akappiyaṁ akaraṇīyaṁ.
“It’s not suitable, foolish man, it’s not proper, it’s not worthy of a monastic, it’s not allowable, it’s not to be done.
pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:1.2.9
Kathañhi nāma tvaṁ, moghapurisa, mātugāmaṁ duṭṭhullāhi vācāhi obhāsissasi.
How could you speak like this?
pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:1.2.10
Nanu mayā, moghapurisa, anekapariyāyena virāgāya dhammo desito no sarāgāya …pe…
Haven’t I given many teachings for the sake of dispassion, not for the sake of passion …
pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:1.2.11
kāmapariḷāhānaṁ vūpasamo akkhāto.
the stilling of the fevers of worldly pleasures?
pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:1.2.12
Netaṁ, moghapurisa, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…
This will affect people’s confidence …” …
pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:1.2.13
evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—
“And, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:
pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:1.2.14.1
“Yo pana bhikkhu otiṇṇo vipariṇatena cittena mātugāmaṁ duṭṭhullāhi vācāhi obhāseyya yathā taṁ yuvā yuvatiṁ methunupasaṁhitāhi, saṅghādiseso”ti.
‘If a monk, overcome by lust and with a distorted mind, speaks indecent words to a woman, as a young man might to a young woman and referring to sexual intercourse, he commits an offense entailing suspension.’”

pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:2.3

Monk:
pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:2.4
…pe… ayaṁ imasmiṁ atthe adhippeto bhikkhūti.
… The monk who has been given the full ordination by a unanimous Sangha through a legal procedure consisting of one motion and three announcements that is irreversible and fit to stand—this sort of monk is meant in this case.

Distorted:
pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:2.8
rattampi cittaṁ vipariṇataṁ, duṭṭhampi cittaṁ vipariṇataṁ mūḷhampi cittaṁ vipariṇataṁ.
a lustful mind is distorted; an angry mind is distorted; a confused mind is distorted.
pli-tv-bu-vb-ss3:2.9
Api ca rattaṁ cittaṁ imasmiṁ atthe adhippetaṁ vipariṇatanti.
But in this case “distorted” refers to the lustful mind.
