Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.

At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery.

Tena kho pana samayena bhikkhuniyo bhikkhunīnaṁ hatthe cīvaraṁ nikkhipitvā santaruttarena janapadacārikaṁ pakkamanti.

At that time the nuns stored one of their robes with other nuns and then left to wander the country in a sarong and an upper robe.

Tāni cīvarāni ciraṁ nikkhittāni kaṇṇakitāni honti.

Because they were stored for a long time, the robes became moldy.
10

तानिtā·ni भिक्खुनियोbhik·khu·ni·yo ओतापेन्ति।o·tā·pen·ti

Tāni bhikkhuniyo otāpenti.

When the nuns put them out to sun them,

Bhikkhuniyo tā bhikkhuniyo etadavocuṁ—

other nuns asked them,
12

“कस्सिमानि,kas·si·mā·ni अय्ये,ay·ye चीवरानिcī·va·rā·ni कण्णकितानी”ति?kaṇ·ṇa·ki·tā·nī

“kassimāni, ayye, cīvarāni kaṇṇakitānī”ti?

“Whose moldy robes are these?”
13

Atha kho tā bhikkhuniyo bhikkhunīnaṁ etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.

And they told them what had happened.

The nuns of few desires complained and criticized them,

“Is it true, monks, that nuns do this?”
17

“सच्चं,sac·caṃ भगवा”ति।bha·ga·vā

“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.

“It’s true, sir.”
18

The Buddha rebuked them …

kathañhi nāma, bhikkhave, bhikkhuniyo bhikkhunīnaṁ hatthe cīvaraṁ nikkhipitvā santaruttarena janapadacārikaṁ pakkamissanti.

“How can nuns do this?
