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

   Tena kho pana samayena dve bhikkhū saṅghike vihāre uparivehāsakuṭiyā eko heṭṭhā viharati, eko upari.

   At that time two monks were staying in a dwelling with an upper story belonging to the Sangha, one staying below and one above.

9. 9

   Uparimo bhikkhu āhaccapādakaṁ mañcaṁ sahasā abhinisīdi.

   The monk above sat down hastily on a bed with detachable legs.

10. 10

    मञ्चपादोmañ·ca·pā·do निप्पतित्वाnip·pa·tit·vā हेट्ठिमस्सheṭ·ṭhi·mas·sa भिक्खुनोbhik·khu·no मत्थकेmat·tha·ke अवत्थासि।a·vat·thā·si

    Mañcapādo nippatitvā heṭṭhimassa bhikkhuno matthake avatthāsi.

    A leg fell off and hit the monk below on the head.

11. 11

    सोso भिक्खुbhik·khu विस्सरमकासि।vis·sa·ra·ma·kā·si

    So bhikkhu vissaramakāsi.

    He cried out.

12. 12

    भिक्खूbhik·khū उपधावित्वाu·pa·dhā·vit·vā तंtaṃ भिक्खुंbhik·khuṃ एतदवोचुं—e·ta·da·vo·cuṃ

    Bhikkhū upadhāvitvā taṁ bhikkhuṁ etadavocuṁ—

    Monks rushed up

13. 13

    “किस्सkis·sa त्वं,tvaṃ आवुसो,ā·vu·so विस्सरमकासी”ति?vis·sa·ra·ma·kā·sī

    “kissa tvaṁ, āvuso, vissaramakāsī”ti?

    and asked him why,

14. 14

    अथa·tha खोkho सोso भिक्खुbhik·khu भिक्खूनंbhik·khū·naṃ एतमत्थंe·ta·mat·thaṃ आरोचेसि।ā·ro·ce·si

    Atha kho so bhikkhu bhikkhūnaṁ etamatthaṁ ārocesi.

    and he told them what had happened.

15. 15

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

    The monks of few desires complained and criticized him,

16. 16

    “कथञ्हिka·thañ·hi नामnā·ma भिक्खुbhik·khu सङ्घिकेsaṅ·ghi·ke विहारेvi·hā·re उपरिवेहासकुटियाu·pa·ri·ve·hā·sa·ku·ṭi·yā आहच्चपादकंā·hac·ca·pā·da·kaṃ मञ्चंmañ·caṃ सहसाsa·ha·sā अभिनिसीदिस्सती”ति।a·bhi·ni·sī·dis·sa·tī

    “kathañhi nāma bhikkhu saṅghike vihāre uparivehāsakuṭiyā āhaccapādakaṁ mañcaṁ sahasā abhinisīdissatī”ti.

    “How could a monk sit down hastily on a bed with detachable legs on an upper story in a dwelling belonging to the Sangha?”

17. 17

    अथa·tha खोkho तेte भिक्खूbhik·khū तंtaṃ भिक्खुंbhik·khuṃ 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 taṁ bhikkhuṁ anekapariyāyena vigarahitvā bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ …pe…

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

18. 18

    “सच्चंsac·caṃ किरki·ra त्वं,tvaṃ भिक्खु,bhik·khu सङ्घिकेsaṅ·ghi·ke विहारेvi·hā·re उपरिवेहासकुटियाu·pa·ri·ve·hā·sa·ku·ṭi·yā आहच्चपादकंā·hac·ca·pā·da·kaṃ मञ्चंmañ·caṃ सहसाsa·ha·sā अभिनिसीदसी”ति?a·bhi·ni·sī·da·sī

    “saccaṁ kira tvaṁ, bhikkhu, saṅghike vihāre uparivehāsakuṭiyā āhaccapādakaṁ mañcaṁ sahasā abhinisīdasī”ti?

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

19. 19

    “सच्चं,sac·caṃ भगवा”ति।bha·ga·vā

    “Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.

    “It’s true, sir.”

20. 20

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

    Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…

    The Buddha rebuked him …

    kathañhi nāma tvaṁ, moghapurisa, saṅghike vihāre uparivehāsakuṭiyā āhaccapādakaṁ mañcaṁ sahasā abhinisīdissasi.

    “Foolish man, how could you do this?

22. 22
