Cullavagga - Third Khandhaka: Chapter 33

1. 'And in case, O Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu is guilty of a number of Samghâdisesa
offences, definite, and not concealed--not definite, and not concealed--of one
designation, and not concealed--of various designations, and not
concealed--similar, and not concealed--dissimilar, and not concealed--connected
1, and not concealed--disconnected, and not concealed--and then throws off the
robes 2.' . . .



Footnotes
431:1 On the opposition of vavatthita and sambhinna, compare Minayeff
Pâtimokkha, p. 29, where these two expressions are used of language.
431:2 The chapter is translated as it stands. To supply the implications
involved, the words 'a Bhikkhu' at the beginning should be understood as 'a
Bhikkhu undergoing probation, or liable to the Mânatta discipline, or undergoing
the Mânatta discipline, or fit to be rehabilitated.' And the conclusion should
be supplied as in chap. 28, except that the penalty in each case is not an
additional probation, but a probation corresponding in length to the period
which has elapsed since the first of those offences which the re-ordained
Bhikkhu has concealed (either before or after the second ordination). The
details are only worked out, in chap. 28, of the first of the several pairs here
enumerated, and are intended to be supplied here for each of the other pairs in
a similar way. All the pairs recur in chaps. 35, 36.
