   Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati pubbārāme migāramātupāsāde.

   At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in the stilt longhouse of Migāra’s mother in the Eastern Monastery.

5. 5

   Tena kho pana samayena bhagavā tadahuposathe bhikkhusaṅghaparivuto nisinno hoti.

   Now, at that time it was the sabbath, and the Buddha was sitting surrounded by the Saṅgha of monks.

6. 6

   And then, as the night was getting late, in the first watch of the night, Venerable Ānanda rose from his seat, arranged his robe over one shoulder, raised his cupped palms toward the Buddha and said,

7. 7

   “अभिक्कन्ता,a·bhik·kan·tā भन्ते,bhan·te रत्ति,rat·ti निक्खन्तोnik·khan·to पठमोpa·ṭha·mo यामो,yā·mo चिरनिसिन्नोci·ra·ni·sin·no भिक्खुसङ्घो।bhik·khu·saṅ·gho

   “abhikkantā, bhante, ratti, nikkhanto paṭhamo yāmo, ciranisinno bhikkhusaṅgho.

   “Sir, the night is getting late. It is the first watch of the night, and the Saṅgha of monks has been sitting long.

8. 8

   उद्दिसतु,ud·di·sa·tu भन्ते,bhan·te भगवाbha·ga·vā भिक्खूनंbhik·khū·naṃ पातिमोक्खन्”ति।pā·ti·mok·khan

   Please, sir, may the Buddha recite the monastic code to the monks.”

9. 9

   एवंe·vaṃ वुत्ते,vut·te भगवाbha·ga·vā तुण्हीtuṇ·hī अहोसि।a·ho·si

   Evaṁ vutte, bhagavā tuṇhī ahosi.

   But when he said this, the Buddha kept silent.

    For a second time, as the night was getting late, in the middle watch of the night, Ānanda rose from his seat, arranged his robe over one shoulder, raised his cupped palms toward the Buddha and said,

11. 11

    “अभिक्कन्ता,a·bhik·kan·tā भन्ते,bhan·te रत्ति,rat·ti निक्खन्तोnik·khan·to मज्झिमोmaj·jhi·mo यामो,yā·mo चिरनिसिन्नोci·ra·ni·sin·no भिक्खुसङ्घो।bhik·khu·saṅ·gho

    “Sir, the night is getting late. It is the middle watch of the night, and the Saṅgha of monks has been sitting long.

12. 12

    उद्दिसतु,ud·di·sa·tu भन्ते,bhan·te भगवाbha·ga·vā भिक्खूनंbhik·khū·naṃ पातिमोक्खन्”ति।pā·ti·mok·khan

    Please, sir, may the Buddha recite the monastic code to the monks.”

    But for a second time the Buddha kept silent.

    For a third time, as the night was getting late, in the last watch of the night, as dawn stirred, bringing joy to the night, Ānanda rose from his seat, arranged his robe over one shoulder, raised his cupped palms toward the Buddha and said,

15. 15

    “अभिक्कन्ता,a·bhik·kan·tā भन्ते,bhan·te रत्ति,rat·ti निक्खन्तोnik·khan·to पच्छिमोpac·chi·mo यामो,yā·mo उद्धस्तंud·dhas·taṃ अरुणं,a·ru·ṇaṃ नन्दिमुखीnan·di·mu·khī रत्ति;rat·ti

    “Sir, the night is getting late. It is the last watch of the night and dawn stirs, bringing joy to the night.

    And the Saṅgha has been sitting long.

    Please, sir, may the Buddha recite the monastic code to the monks.”

18. 18

    “अपरिसुद्धा,a·pa·ri·sud·dhā आनन्द,ā·nan·da परिसा”ति।pa·ri·sā

    “Aparisuddhā, ānanda, parisā”ti.

    “Ānanda, the assembly is not pure.”

19. 19

    अथa·tha खोkho आयस्मतोā·yas·ma·to महामोग्गल्लानस्सma·hā·mog·gal·lā·nas·sa एतदहोसि:e·ta·da·ho·si

    Atha kho āyasmato mahāmoggallānassa etadahosi:

    Then Venerable Mahāmoggallāna thought,

20. 20

    “कंkaṃ नुnu खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā पुग्गलंpug·ga·laṃ सन्धायsan·dhā·ya एवमाह:e·va·mā·ha

    “kaṁ nu kho bhagavā puggalaṁ sandhāya evamāha:

    “Who is the Buddha talking about?”

    ‘aparisuddhā, ānanda, parisā’”ti?

    (Pāli only)

    Atha kho āyasmā mahāmoggallāno sabbāvantaṁ bhikkhusaṅghaṁ cetasā ceto paricca manasākāsi.

    Then he focused on encompassing the minds of everyone in the Saṅgha.

23. 23

    He saw that unethical individual, of bad qualities, filthy, with suspicious behavior, underhand, no true ascetic or spiritual practitioner—though claiming to be one—rotten inside, festering, and depraved, sitting in the middle of the Saṅgha.

24. 24

    disvāna uṭṭhāyāsanā yena so puggalo tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā taṁ puggalaṁ etadavoca:

    When he saw him he rose from his seat, went up to him and said,

25. 25

    “उट्ठेहावुसो,uṭ·ṭhe·hā·vu·so दिट्ठोसिdiṭ·ṭho·si भगवता।bha·ga·va·tā

    “uṭṭhehāvuso, diṭṭhosi bhagavatā.

    “Get up, reverend. The Buddha has seen you.

    Natthi te bhikkhūhi saddhiṁ saṁvāso”ti.

    You can’t live in communion with the monks.”

27. 27

    एवंe·vaṃ वुत्ते,vut·te सोso पुग्गलोpug·ga·lo तुण्हीtuṇ·hī अहोसि।a·ho·si

    Evaṁ vutte, so puggalo tuṇhī ahosi.

    But when he said this, that individual kept silent.

28. 28

    Dutiyampi kho āyasmā mahāmoggallāno taṁ puggalaṁ etadavoca:

    For a second time

29. 29

    “उट्ठेहावुसो,uṭ·ṭhe·hā·vu·so दिट्ठोसिdiṭ·ṭho·si भगवता।bha·ga·va·tā

    “uṭṭhehāvuso, diṭṭhosi bhagavatā.

    and a third time,

33. 33

    “उट्ठेहावुसो,uṭ·ṭhe·hā·vu·so दिट्ठोसिdiṭ·ṭho·si भगवता।bha·ga·va·tā

    “uṭṭhehāvuso, diṭṭhosi bhagavatā.

    he asked that monk to leave.

    Tatiyampi kho so puggalo tuṇhī ahosi.

    But for a third time that individual kept silent.

36. 36

    Then Venerable Mahāmoggallāna took that individual by the arm, ejected him out the gate, and bolted the door. Then he went up to the Buddha, and said to him,

37. 37

    “निक्खामितोnik·khā·mi·to सो,so भन्ते,bhan·te पुग्गलोpug·ga·lo मया।ma·yā

    “nikkhāmito so, bhante, puggalo mayā.

    “I have ejected that individual.

38. 38

    The assembly is pure.

39. 39

    उद्दिसतु,ud·di·sa·tu भन्ते,bhan·te भगवाbha·ga·vā भिक्खूनंbhik·khū·naṃ पातिमोक्खन्”ति।pā·ti·mok·khan

    Uddisatu, bhante, bhagavā bhikkhūnaṁ pātimokkhan”ti.

    Please, sir, may the Buddha recite the monastic code to the monks.”

40. 40

    “अच्छरियं,ac·cha·ri·yaṃ मोग्गल्लान,mog·gal·lā·na अब्भुतं,ab·bhu·taṃ मोग्गल्लान।mog·gal·lā·na

    “Acchariyaṁ, moggallāna, abbhutaṁ, moggallāna.

    “It’s incredible, Moggallāna, it’s amazing,

    how that futile man waited to be taken by the arm!”

42. 42

    अथa·tha खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā भिक्खूbhik·khū आमन्तेसि:ā·man·te·si

    Atha kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi:

    Then the Buddha said to the monks:

43. 43

    “तुम्हेवtum·he·va दानि,dā·ni भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve उपोसथंu·po·sa·thaṃ करेय्याथ,ka·rey·yā·tha पातिमोक्खंpā·ti·mok·khaṃ उद्दिसेय्याथ।ud·di·sey·yā·tha

    “tumheva dāni, bhikkhave, uposathaṁ kareyyātha, pātimokkhaṁ uddiseyyātha.

    “Now, monks, you should perform the sabbath and recite the monastic code.

44. 44

    Na dānāhaṁ, bhikkhave, ajjatagge uposathaṁ karissāmi, pātimokkhaṁ uddisissāmi.

    From this day forth, I will not perform the sabbath or recite the monastic code.

45. 45

    Aṭṭhānametaṁ, bhikkhave, anavakāso yaṁ tathāgato aparisuddhāya parisāya pātimokkhaṁ uddiseyya.

    It’s impossible, monks, it can’t happen that a Realized One could recite the monastic code in an impure assembly.

    Aṭṭhime, bhikkhave, mahāsamudde acchariyā abbhutā dhammā, ye disvā disvā asurā mahāsamudde abhiramanti.

    Seeing these eight incredible and amazing things the titans love the ocean.

47. 47

    What eight?
