   Origin story

7. 7

   तेनte·na समयेनsa·ma·ye·na बुद्धोbud·dho भगवाbha·ga·vā राजगहेrā·ja·ga·he विहरतिvi·ha·ra·ti वेळुवनेve·ḷu·va·ne कलन्दकनिवापे।ka·lan·da·ka·ni·vā·pe

   Tena samayena buddho bhagavā rājagahe viharati veḷuvane kalandakanivāpe.

   At one time when the Buddha was staying at Rājagaha in the Bamboo Grove,

8. 8

   तेनte·na खोkho पनpa·na समयेनsa·ma·ye·na छब्बग्गियाchab·bag·gi·yā भिक्खूbhik·khū चीवरकारसमयेcī·va·ra·kā·ra·sa·ma·ye बहुंba·huṃ सुत्तंsut·taṃ विञ्ञापेसुं।viñ·ñā·pe·suṃ

   Tena kho pana samayena chabbaggiyā bhikkhū cīvarakārasamaye bahuṁ suttaṁ viññāpesuṁ.

   the monks from the group of six were making robes and they asked for a large amount of thread.

9. 9

   कतेपिka·te·pi चीवरेcī·va·re बहुंba·huṃ सुत्तंsut·taṃ अवसिट्ठंa·va·siṭ·ṭhaṃ होति।ho·ti

   Katepi cīvare bahuṁ suttaṁ avasiṭṭhaṁ hoti.

   But when their robes were finished, there was much thread left over.

10. 10

    अथa·tha खोkho छब्बग्गियानंchab·bag·gi·yā·naṃ भिक्खूनंbhik·khū·naṃ एतदहोसि—e·ta·da·ho·si

    Atha kho chabbaggiyānaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ etadahosi—

    They said,

11. 11

    “हन्दhan·da मयं,ma·yaṃ आवुसो,ā·vu·so अञ्ञम्पिañ·ñam·pi सुत्तंsut·taṃ विञ्ञापेत्वाviñ·ñā·pet·vā तन्तवायेहिtan·ta·vā·ye·hi चीवरंcī·va·raṃ वायापेमा”ति।vā·yā·pe·mā

    “handa mayaṁ, āvuso, aññampi suttaṁ viññāpetvā tantavāyehi cīvaraṁ vāyāpemā”ti.

    “Well, let’s ask for even more thread and get weavers to weave us robe-cloth.”

12. 12

    अथa·tha खोkho छब्बग्गियाchab·bag·gi·yā भिक्खूbhik·khū अञ्ञम्पिañ·ñam·pi सुत्तंsut·taṃ विञ्ञापेत्वाviñ·ñā·pet·vā तन्तवायेहिtan·ta·vā·ye·hi चीवरंcī·va·raṃ वायापेसुं।vā·yā·pe·suṃ

    Atha kho chabbaggiyā bhikkhū aññampi suttaṁ viññāpetvā tantavāyehi cīvaraṁ vāyāpesuṁ.

    (Pāli only)

13. 13

    वीतेपिvī·te·pi चीवरेcī·va·re बहुंba·huṃ सुत्तंsut·taṃ अवसिट्ठंa·va·siṭ·ṭhaṃ होति।ho·ti

    Vītepi cīvare bahuṁ suttaṁ avasiṭṭhaṁ hoti.

    Yet even when that robe-cloth had been woven, there was much thread left over.

14. 14

    दुतियम्पिdu·ti·yam·pi खोkho छब्बग्गियाchab·bag·gi·yā भिक्खूbhik·khū अञ्ञम्पिañ·ñam·pi सुत्तंsut·taṃ विञ्ञापेत्वाviñ·ñā·pet·vā तन्तवायेहिtan·ta·vā·ye·hi चीवरंcī·va·raṃ वायापेसुं।vā·yā·pe·suṃ

    Dutiyampi kho chabbaggiyā bhikkhū aññampi suttaṁ viññāpetvā tantavāyehi cīvaraṁ vāyāpesuṁ.

    A second time they asked for more thread and had weavers weave them robe-cloth.

15. 15

    वीतेपिvī·te·pi चीवरेcī·va·re बहुंba·huṃ सुत्तंsut·taṃ अवसिट्ठंa·va·siṭ·ṭhaṃ होति।ho·ti

    Vītepi cīvare bahuṁ suttaṁ avasiṭṭhaṁ hoti.

    Once again there was much thread left over.

16. 16

    ततियम्पिta·ti·yam·pi खोkho छब्बग्गियाchab·bag·gi·yā भिक्खूbhik·khū अञ्ञम्पिañ·ñam·pi सुत्तंsut·taṃ विञ्ञापेत्वाviñ·ñā·pet·vā तन्तवायेहिtan·ta·vā·ye·hi चीवरंcī·va·raṃ वायापेसुं।vā·yā·pe·suṃ

    Tatiyampi kho chabbaggiyā bhikkhū aññampi suttaṁ viññāpetvā tantavāyehi cīvaraṁ vāyāpesuṁ.

    A third time they asked for more thread and had weavers weave them robe-cloth.

17. 17

    मनुस्साma·nus·sā उज्झायन्तिuj·jhā·yan·ti खिय्यन्तिkhiy·yan·ti विपाचेन्ति—vi·pā·cen·ti

    Manussā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—

    People complained and criticized them,

18. 18

    “कथञ्हिka·thañ·hi नामnā·ma समणाsa·ma·ṇā सक्यपुत्तियाsak·ya·put·ti·yā सामंsā·maṃ सुत्तंsut·taṃ विञ्ञापेत्वाviñ·ñā·pet·vā तन्तवायेहिtan·ta·vā·ye·hi चीवरंcī·va·raṃ वायापेस्सन्ती”ति।vā·yā·pes·san·tī

    “kathañhi nāma samaṇā sakyaputtiyā sāmaṁ suttaṁ viññāpetvā tantavāyehi cīvaraṁ vāyāpessantī”ti.

    “How could the Sakyan monastics ask for thread and then get weavers to weave them robe-cloth?”

19. 19

    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,

20. 20

    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,

21. 21

    “कथञ्हिka·thañ·hi नामnā·ma छब्बग्गियाchab·bag·gi·yā भिक्खूbhik·khū सामंsā·maṃ सुत्तंsut·taṃ विञ्ञापेत्वाviñ·ñā·pet·vā तन्तवायेहिtan·ta·vā·ye·hi चीवरंcī·va·raṃ वायापेस्सन्ती”ति।vā·yā·pes·san·tī

    “kathañhi nāma chabbaggiyā bhikkhū sāmaṁ suttaṁ viññāpetvā tantavāyehi cīvaraṁ vāyāpessantī”ti.

    “How could the monks from the group of six ask for thread and then get weavers to weave them robe-cloth?”

22. 22

    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 those monks:

23. 23

    “सच्चंsac·caṃ किरki·ra तुम्हे,tum·he भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve सामंsā·maṃ सुत्तंsut·taṃ विञ्ञापेत्वाviñ·ñā·pet·vā तन्तवायेहिtan·ta·vā·ye·hi चीवरंcī·va·raṃ वायापेथा”ति?vā·yā·pe·thā

    “saccaṁ kira tumhe, bhikkhave, sāmaṁ suttaṁ viññāpetvā tantavāyehi cīvaraṁ vāyāpethā”ti?

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

24. 24

    “सच्चं,sac·caṃ भगवा”ति।bha·ga·vā

    “Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.

    “It’s true, sir.”

25. 25

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

    Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…

    The Buddha rebuked them …

26. 26

    कथञ्हिka·thañ·hi नामnā·ma तुम्हे,tum·he मोघपुरिसा,mo·gha·pu·ri·sā सामंsā·maṃ सुत्तंsut·taṃ विञ्ञापेत्वाviñ·ñā·pet·vā तन्तवायेहिtan·ta·vā·ye·hi चीवरंcī·va·raṃ वायापेस्सथ।vā·yā·pes·sa·tha

    kathañhi nāma tumhe, moghapurisā, sāmaṁ suttaṁ viññāpetvā tantavāyehi cīvaraṁ vāyāpessatha.

    “Foolish men, how could you do this?

27. 27

    This will affect people’s confidence …” …

    evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—

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

    Final ruling

30. 30

    “योyo पनpa·na भिक्खुbhik·khu सामंsā·maṃ सुत्तंsut·taṃ विञ्ञापेत्वाviñ·ñā·pet·vā तन्तवायेहिtan·ta·vā·ye·hi चीवरंcī·va·raṃ वायापेय्य,vā·yā·pey·ya निस्सग्गियंnis·sag·gi·yaṃ पाचित्तियन्”ति।pā·cit·ti·yan

    “Yo pana bhikkhu sāmaṁ suttaṁ viññāpetvā tantavāyehi cīvaraṁ vāyāpeyya, nissaggiyaṁ pācittiyan”ti.

    ‘If a monk himself asks for thread, and then has weavers weave him robe-cloth, he commits an offense entailing relinquishment and confession.’”
