Cullavagga - Fifth Khandhaka: Chapter 35

1. Now at that tune the Bhikkhus made water here and there in the Ârâma, and the
Ârâma was defiled.
They told this matter to the Blessed One.
'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to make water at one side (of the Ârâma).'
p. 155
The Ârâma became offensive. . . . . .
[The rest of this chapter is scarcely translateable. It records in like manner
the various sanitary difficulties which arose from the living together of a
number of Bhikkhus. Each such difficulty is quite solemnly said to have been
reported to the Blessed One, and he is said to have found a way out of it. The
result of the whole is, that the building of privies is enjoined, and all the
contrivances, such as seats, doors, steps, plastering, etc., already mentioned
with respect to the bath-room, above, V, 14, are here repeated verbatim 1.]
