Venerable Sariputta must spend the night under a tree when he
arrived with his group at the end of the line. Tathagata investigate
the case then punish the bhikkhus Chabaggi
and establish additional rules to be implemented by
Samgha.
"Na bhikkhave udissakatampi yathàvuddam patibàhitabbam, yo

officially handed over), pavilions and temporary shelter,
etc., intended for submission to the
Samgha be used, not hindered, by Samgha
in order of seniority; anyone who obstructs
such placement is based on the order of seniority, are
offense (dukkata àpatti) "
