   Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.

   At one time when the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery,

9. 9

   तेनte·na खोkho पनpa·na समयेनsa·ma·ye·na छब्बग्गियाchab·bag·gi·yā भिक्खूbhik·khū बहूba·hū पत्तेpat·te सन्निचयंsan·ni·ca·yaṃ करोन्ति।ka·ron·ti

   Tena kho pana samayena chabbaggiyā bhikkhū bahū patte sannicayaṁ karonti.

   the monks from the group of six were storing up many almsbowls.

10. 10

    मनुस्साma·nus·sā विहारचारिकंvi·hā·ra·cā·ri·kaṃ आहिण्डन्ताā·hiṇ·ḍan·tā पस्सित्वाpas·sit·vā उज्झायन्तिuj·jhā·yan·ti खिय्यन्तिkhiy·yan·ti विपाचेन्ति—vi·pā·cen·ti

    Manussā vihāracārikaṁ āhiṇḍantā passitvā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—

    When people walking about the dwellings saw this, they complained and criticized them,

11. 11

    “कथञ्हिka·thañ·hi नामnā·ma समणाsa·ma·ṇā सक्यपुत्तियाsak·ya·put·ti·yā बहूba·hū पत्तेpat·te सन्निचयंsan·ni·ca·yaṃ करिस्सन्ति,ka·ris·san·ti

    “kathañhi nāma samaṇā sakyaputtiyā bahū patte sannicayaṁ karissanti,

    “How can the Sakyan monastics store up many bowls?

12. 12

    pattavāṇijjaṁ vā samaṇā sakyaputtiyā karissanti āmattikāpaṇaṁ vā pasāressantī”ti.

    Are they starting up as bowl merchants or setting up a bowl shop?”

13. 13

    अस्सोसुंas·so·suṃ खोkho भिक्खूbhik·khū तेसंte·saṃ मनुस्सानंma·nus·sā·naṃ उज्झायन्तानंuj·jhā·yan·tā·naṃ खिय्यन्तानंkhiy·yan·tā·naṃ विपाचेन्तानं।vi·pā·cen·tā·naṃ

    Assosuṁ kho bhikkhū tesaṁ manussānaṁ ujjhāyantānaṁ khiyyantānaṁ vipācentānaṁ.

    The monks heard the complaints of those people,

14. 14

    येye तेte भिक्खूbhik·khū अप्पिच्छाap·pic·chā …पे…pe तेte उज्झायन्तिuj·jhā·yan·ti खिय्यन्तिkhiy·yan·ti विपाचेन्ति—vi·pā·cen·ti

    Ye te bhikkhū appicchā …pe… te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—

    and the monks of few desires complained and criticized those monks,

15. 15

    “कथञ्हिka·thañ·hi नामnā·ma छब्बग्गियाchab·bag·gi·yā भिक्खूbhik·khū अतिरेकपत्तंa·ti·re·ka·pat·taṃ धारेस्सन्ती”ति।dhā·res·san·tī

    “kathañhi nāma chabbaggiyā bhikkhū atirekapattaṁ dhāressantī”ti.

    “How can the monks from the group of six keep extra bowls?”

16. 16

    अथa·tha खोkho तेte भिक्खूbhik·khū छब्बग्गियेchab·bag·gi·ye भिक्खूbhik·khū अनेकपरियायेनa·ne·ka·pa·ri·yā·ye·na विगरहित्वाvi·ga·ra·hit·vā भगवतोbha·ga·va·to एतमत्थंe·ta·mat·thaṃ आरोचेसुंā·ro·ce·suṃ …पे…pe

    Atha kho te bhikkhū chabbaggiye bhikkhū anekapariyāyena vigarahitvā bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ …pe…

    After rebuking those monks in many ways, they told the Buddha. Soon afterwards he had the Sangha gathered and questioned the monks:

17. 17

    “सच्चंsac·caṃ किरki·ra तुम्हे,tum·he भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve अतिरेकपत्तंa·ti·re·ka·pat·taṃ धारेथा”ति?dhā·re·thā

    “saccaṁ kira tumhe, bhikkhave, atirekapattaṁ dhārethā”ti?

    “Is it true, monks, that you do this?”

18. 18

    “सच्चं,sac·caṃ भगवा”ति।bha·ga·vā

    “Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.

    “It’s true, sir.”

19. 19

    विगरहिvi·ga·ra·hi बुद्धोbud·dho भगवाbha·ga·vā …पे…pe

    Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…

    The Buddha rebuked them …

20. 20

    कथञ्हिka·thañ·hi नामnā·ma तुम्हे,tum·he मोघपुरिसा,mo·gha·pu·ri·sā अतिरेकपत्तंa·ti·re·ka·pat·taṃ धारेस्सथ।dhā·res·sa·tha

    kathañhi nāma tumhe, moghapurisā, atirekapattaṁ dhāressatha.

    “Foolish men, how can you do this?

21. 21

    नेतं,ne·taṃ मोघपुरिसा,mo·gha·pu·ri·sā अप्पसन्नानंap·pa·san·nā·naṃ वाvā पसादायpa·sā·dā·ya …पे…pe

    Netaṁ, moghapurisā, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…

    This will affect people’s confidence …” …

22. 22

    evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—

    “And, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:

23. 23

    Preliminary ruling

24. 24

    “योyo पनpa·na भिक्खुbhik·khu अतिरेकपत्तंa·ti·re·ka·pat·taṃ धारेय्य,dhā·rey·ya निस्सग्गियंnis·sag·gi·yaṃ पाचित्तियन्”ति।pā·cit·ti·yan

    “Yo pana bhikkhu atirekapattaṁ dhāreyya, nissaggiyaṁ pācittiyan”ti.

    ‘If a monk keeps an extra almsbowl, he commits an offense entailing relinquishment and confession.’”

25. 25

    एवञ्चिदंe·vañ·ci·daṃ भगवताbha·ga·va·tā भिक्खूनंbhik·khū·naṃ सिक्खापदंsik·khā·pa·daṃ पञ्ञत्तंpañ·ñat·taṃ होति।ho·ti

    Evañcidaṁ bhagavatā bhikkhūnaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ paññattaṁ hoti.

    In this way the Buddha laid down this training rule for the monks.

26. 26

    Second substory

27. 27

    तेनte·na खोkho पनpa·na समयेनsa·ma·ye·na आयस्मतोā·yas·ma·to आनन्दस्सā·nan·das·sa अतिरेकपत्तोa·ti·re·ka·pat·to उप्पन्नोup·pan·no होति।ho·ti

    Tena kho pana samayena āyasmato ānandassa atirekapatto uppanno hoti.

    Soon afterwards Venerable Ānanda was offered an extra bowl.

28. 28

    आयस्माā·yas·mā चca आनन्दोā·nan·do तंtaṃ पत्तंpat·taṃ आयस्मतोā·yas·ma·to सारिपुत्तस्सsā·ri·put·tas·sa दातुकामोdā·tu·kā·mo होति।ho·ti

    Āyasmā ca ānando taṁ pattaṁ āyasmato sāriputtassa dātukāmo hoti.

    He wanted to give it to Venerable Sāriputta,

29. 29

    आयस्माā·yas·mā चca सारिपुत्तोsā·ri·put·to साकेतेsā·ke·te विहरति।vi·ha·ra·ti

    Āyasmā ca sāriputto sākete viharati.

    who was staying at Sāketa.

30. 30

    अथa·tha खोkho आयस्मतोā·yas·ma·to आनन्दस्सā·nan·das·sa एतदहोसि—e·ta·da·ho·si

    Atha kho āyasmato ānandassa etadahosi—

    Knowing that the Buddha had laid down a rule against keeping an extra bowl,

31. 31

    “भगवताbha·ga·va·tā सिक्खापदंsik·khā·pa·daṃ पञ्ञत्तं—pañ·ñat·taṃ

    “bhagavatā sikkhāpadaṁ paññattaṁ—

    Āyasmā ca sāriputto sākete viharati.

36. 36

    Kathaṁ nu kho mayā paṭipajjitabban”ti?

    Venerable Ānanda thought, “What should I do now?”

37. 37

    भगवतोbha·ga·va·to एतमत्थंe·ta·mat·thaṃ आरोचेसि।ā·ro·ce·si

    Bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesi.

    He told the Buddha, who said,

38. 38

    “कीवचिरंkī·va·ci·raṃ पनानन्द,pa·nā·nan·da सारिपुत्तोsā·ri·put·to आगच्छिस्सती”ति?ā·gac·chis·sa·tī

    “Kīvaciraṁ panānanda, sāriputto āgacchissatī”ti?

    “How long is it, Ānanda, before Sāriputta returns?”

39. 39

    “नवमंna·va·maṃ वा,vā भगवा,bha·ga·vā दिवसंdi·va·saṃ दसमंda·sa·maṃ वा”ति।vā

    “Navamaṁ vā, bhagavā, divasaṁ dasamaṁ vā”ti.

    “Nine or ten days, venerable sir.”

40. 40

    अथa·tha खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā एतस्मिंe·tas·miṃ निदानेni·dā·ne एतस्मिंe·tas·miṃ पकरणेpa·ka·ra·ṇe धम्मिंdham·miṃ कथंka·thaṃ कत्वाkat·vā भिक्खूbhik·khū आमन्तेसि—ā·man·te·si

    Atha kho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe dhammiṁ kathaṁ katvā bhikkhū āmantesi—

    Soon afterwards the Buddha gave a teaching and addressed the monks:

41. 41

    “अनुजानामि,a·nu·jā·nā·mi भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve दसाहपरमंda·sā·ha·pa·ra·maṃ अतिरेकपत्तंa·ti·re·ka·pat·taṃ धारेतुं।dhā·re·tuṃ

    “anujānāmi, bhikkhave, dasāhaparamaṁ atirekapattaṁ dhāretuṁ.

    “Monks, you should keep an extra almsbowl for ten days at the most.

42. 42

    एवञ्चe·vañ·ca पन,pa·na भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve इमंi·maṃ सिक्खापदंsik·khā·pa·daṃ उद्दिसेय्याथ—ud·di·sey·yā·tha

    Evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—

    And so, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:

43. 43

    Final ruling

44. 44

    “दसाहपरमंda·sā·ha·pa·ra·maṃ अतिरेकपत्तोa·ti·re·ka·pat·to धारेतब्बो।dhā·re·tab·bo तंtaṃ अतिक्कामयतोa·tik·kā·ma·ya·to निस्सग्गियंnis·sag·gi·yaṃ पाचित्तियन्”ति।pā·cit·ti·yan

    “Dasāhaparamaṁ atirekapatto dhāretabbo. Taṁ atikkāmayato nissaggiyaṁ pācittiyan”ti.

    ‘A monk should keep an extra almsbowl for ten days at the most. If he keeps it longer than that, he commits an offense entailing relinquishment and confession.’”

    there are two kinds of bowls: the iron bowl and the ceramic bowl.

    And there are three sizes of bowls: the large bowl, the medium bowl, and the small bowl.

    Taṁ atikkāmayato nissaggiyo hotīti

    If he keeps it longer than that, it becomes subject to relinquishment:

58. 58

    Nissajjitabbo saṅghassa vā gaṇassa vā puggalassa vā.

    The bowl should be relinquished to a sangha, a group, or an individual.

    After approaching the Sangha, that monk should arrange his upper robe over one shoulder and pay respect at the feet of the senior monks. He should then squat on his heels, raise his joined palms, and say,

62. 62

    “अयंa·yaṃ मे,me भन्ते,bhan·te पत्तोpat·to दसाहातिक्कन्तोda·sā·hā·tik·kan·to निस्सग्गियो।nis·sag·gi·yo

    “ayaṁ me, bhante, patto dasāhātikkanto nissaggiyo.

    ‘Venerables, this almsbowl, which I have kept over ten days, is to be relinquished.
