Cullavagga - First Khandhaka: Chapter 31

31.
Now at that time the Blessed Buddha was dwelling at Kosambî, in the Ghosita
Ârâma. And at that time the venerable Khanna, when he had committed a fault, was
not willing to atone for that fault [&c., the proceeding in this case being the
same, and laid down in the same words as the proceeding in the last case,
chapters 25-30].

Here ends the sixth Kamma; namely, the Ukkhepaniya-kamma on not atoning for a
fault 1.




Footnotes
376:1 It will be seen from the above chapters, and especially from chapter 27,
that the Ukkhepaniya-kamma is an Act, not of expulsion, but only of suspension.
The ten cases in which a member of the Order could be expelled are those given
above in Mahâvagga I, 60; and the technical word for 'expel' is nâseti.
