1. 'In case, O Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu be litigious, contentious, quarrelsome,
disputatious, and constantly raise questions before the Samgha, And the other
Bhikkhus say among each other: "This Bhikkhu, friends, is indeed litigious,
contentious, &c.; well, let us proceed against him with the tagganiyakamma 1."
And they proceed against him with the tagganiyakamma unlawfully 2 with an
incomplete congregation 3, and he then goes from that district to another
district. There the Bhikkhus say among each other: "Against this Bhikkhu,
friends, the Samgha has proceeded with the tagganiyakamma unlawfully with an
incomplete congregation; well, let us proceed against him with the
tagganiyakamma." And they proceed against him with the tagganiyakamma unlawfully
with a complete congregation, and he then goes from that district again to-
another district. And there the Bhikkhus again say among each other (&c.,
p. 281
down to:) and they proceed against him with the tagganiyakamma lawfully with an
incomplete congregation . . . . seemingly lawfully 1 with an congregation . . .
. seemingly lawfully with a complete congregation 2.
2-5. 'In case, O Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu be litigious, &c. 3
6. 'In case, O Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu be ignorant, unlearned, a constant offender,
unable to discern what is an offence 4, and lives in lay society, unduly
associating himself with lay people. And the other Bhikkhus say among each
other: "This Bhikkhu, friends, is indeed ignorant, unlearned, &c.; well, let us
proceed against him with the nissayakamma 5," and they proceed against him with
the nissayakamma unlawfully with an incomplete congregation, &c. 6
7. 'In case, O Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu leads a life hurtful to the laity, and
devoted to evil 7. And the other Bhikkhus say among each other: "This
p. 282
[paragraph continues] Bhikkhu, friends, leads a life hurtful to the laity, and
devoted to evil; well, let us proceed against him with the pabbâganiyakamma 1,"
&c. 2
8. 'In case, O Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu abuses and reviles lay people. And the other
Bhikkhus say among each other: "This Bhikkhu, friends, abuses and reviles lay
people; well, let us proceed against him with the patisâraniyakamma 3," &c.2
9-11. 'In case, O Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu, having committed an offence, refuses to
see that offence (committed by himself) 4. And the other Bhikkhus say among each
other: "This Bhikkhu, friends, has committed an offence and refuses to see that
offence; well, let us pronounce expulsion against him for his refusal to see
that offence 5," &c. 2
12-13. 'In case, O Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu, against whom the Samgha has proceeded
with the tagganiyakamma, behaves himself properly, lives modestly, aspires to
get clear of his penance, and asks for the revocation of the tagganiyakamma
sentence. And the other Bhikkhus say among each other: "This Bhikkhu, friends,
against whom the Samgha has proceeded with the tagganiyakamma, in truth behaves
himself properly; he lives modestly, &c.; well, let us revoke the tagganiyakamma
sentence pronounced against him." And they revoke the tagganiyakamma sentence
p. 283
pronounced against him unlawfully with an incomplete congregation. And he then
goes from that district to another district. There the Bhikkhus say among each
other: "The tagganiyakamma sentence, friends, pronounced against this Bhikkhu
has been revoked by the Samgha unlawfully with an incomplete congregation," &c.

14. 'In case, O Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu against whom the Samgha has proceeded with
the nissayakamma . . . . with the pabbâganiyakamma . . . . with the
patisâraniyakamma . . . . against whom the Samgha has pronounced expulsion for
his refusal to see an offence . . . . for his refusal to atone for an offence .
. . . for his refusal to renounce a false doctrine, behaves himself properly,
&c. 2
15. 'In case, O Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu be litigious, contentious, quarrelsome,
disputatious, and constantly raise questions before the Samgha. And the other
Bhikkhus say among each other: "This Bhikkhu, friends, is indeed litigious,
contentious, &c.; well, let us proceed against him with the tagganiyakamma." And
they proceed against him with the tagganiyakamma, unlawfully with an incomplete
congregation. Now among the Samgha residing in that district a contention is
raised whether this is an act performed unlawfully with an incomplete
congregation, or an act performed unlawfully with a complete congregation, or an
act performed lawfully with an incomplete
p. 284
congregation, or an act performed seemingly law-fully with an incomplete
congregation, or an act performed seemingly lawfully with a complete
congregation, or an act not performed, badly performed, to be performed again.
In this case, O Bhikkhus, the Bhikkhus who say: "It is an act performed
unlawfully with an incomplete congregation"--and the Bhikkhus who say: "It is an
act not performed, badly performed, to be performed again"--these Bhikkhus are
right herein.
16. 'In case, O Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu be litigious (&c., as in § 15, down to:) and
they proceed against him with the tagganiyakamma unlawfully with a complete
congregation . . . . lawfully with an incomplete congregation . . . . seemingly
lawfully with an incomplete congregation . . . . seemingly lawfully with a
complete congregation. Now among the Samgha residing in that district (&c., as
in § 15).
17-20. 'In case, O Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu be ignorant, unlearned,' &c. 1

281:3 As in § 1, but with a different arrangement of the five categories on
which this exposition is based: unlawfully with an incomplete congregation,
unlawfully with a complete congregation, lawfully with an incomplete
congregation, seemingly lawfully with an incomplete congregation, seemingly
lawfully with a complete congregation. In § 1 these categories are arranged in
their natural order; in § 2 the second is placed at the head, then follow the
third, fourth, fifth, and finally the first; in § 3 the exposition likewise
begins with the third and ends with the second, &c. This arrangement is called
'a wheel' (kakka).
281:4 See the note at chap. 4, § 9.
281:5 See Kullavagga I, 9-12.
281:6 The same five cases and the same kakka as in §§ 1-5.
281:7 See the 13th Samghâdisesa Rule.
282:1 See Kullavagga I, 13-17.
282:2 As in §§ 1-5 or in § 6.
282:3 Kullavagga I, 18-24.
282:4 § 10: A Bhikkhu, having committed an offence, refuses to atone for that
offence. § 11: A Bhikkhu refuses to renounce a false doctrine.
282:5 § 10: For his refusal to atone for that offence. § 11: For his refusal to
renounce that false doctrine.
283:1 The analogous five cases with the kakka development as in §§ 1-5.
283:2 As in §§ 12, 13.
284:1 The text treats here in §§ 17, 18 of the nissayakamma (see § 6) and of the
Samghakammas down to the expulsion for a Bhikkhu's refusal to renounce a false
doctrine (see §§ 7-11) in the same manner as the tagganiyakamma is spoken of in
§§ 15, 16. Then follows (§§ 19, 20) an exactly analogous exposition about the
revocation of these Samghakammas, which stands in the same relation to §§ 15-18
in which §§ 12-14 stand to §§ 1-11.
