Parivāra — Bhikkhuvibhaṅga — Paṭhamabhāga

Should he give, should he sew, by arrangement,

Boat, should eat, together.

Alms, group, another, cookie,

Himself invited, another invited;

At the wrong time, store, milk,

With tooth cleaner—those are the ten.

Naked ascetic, sending away, intruding on,

Concealed, and private;

Invited, with requisites,

Army, staying, battle.

Alcohol, finger, and laughter,

And disrespect, scaring;

Fire, bathing, stain,

Himself, and with hiding.

Intentionally, water, and legal procedure,

Grave, less than twenty;

Thieves, woman, not taught,

In the community, and with one who has been expelled.

Legitimately, oppression,

Deception, on hitting, should he raise;

And groundless, intentionally,

‘I’ll hear,’ criticism, should he leave.

After giving a robe with the Sangha,

Should he divert to an individual;

And a king’s, precious things, available,

Needle, and bed, cotton down;

Sitting mat, itch-covering cloth,

Rainy-season, and by the standard.”

This is the summary of the subchapters:

“Falsely, and plants, instruction,

Eating, and with a naked ascetic;

Alcohol, containing living beings, legitimately,

With the subchapter on kings—these nine.”
