28. CīvaradānasikkhāpadaGiving a robe to a non-monastic

Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.
anāthapiṇḍikassa → anāthapaṇḍikassa (sya-all)
At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery.
Tena kho pana samayena thullanandā bhikkhunī naṭānampi naṭakānampi laṅghakānampi sokajjhāyikānampi kumbhathūṇikānampi samaṇacīvaraṁ deti—
kumbhathūṇikānampi → kumbhathūnikānaṁpi (sya-all); kumbhathuṇikānampi (mr); sokajjhāyikānampi → sokasāyikānampi (bj) | naṭakānampi laṅghakānampi sokajjhāyikānampi → naṭṭakānampi laṅghikānampi sokasāyikānampi (bj) | naṭṭakānampi → nāṭakānampi (bj: machasaṁ) | laṅghikānampi → laṅghakānampi (bj: machasaṁ) | sokasāyikānampi → sokajjhāyikānampi (bj: machasaṁ) | kumbhathūṇikānampi → kumbhathuṇikānampi (bj: machasaṁ) | sokajjhāyikānampi → sokasāyikānampi (cck: sī.) | kumbhathūṇikānampi → kumbhathuṇikānampi (cck: ka.)
At that time the nun Thullanandā was giving monastic robes to actors, dancers, acrobats, magicians, and musicians, saying,
“mayhaṁ parisati vaṇṇaṁ bhāsathā”ti.
parisati → parisatiṁ (bj) | parisatiṁ → parisati (bj: machasaṁ) | parisati → parisatiṁ (cck: sī.)
“Please praise me in public.”
Naṭāpi naṭakāpi laṅghakāpi sokajjhāyikāpi kumbhathūṇikāpi thullanandāya bhikkhuniyā parisati vaṇṇaṁ bhāsanti—
naṭakāpi laṅghakāpi sokajjhāyikāpi → naṭṭakāpi laṅghikāpi sokasāyikāpi (bj) | parisati → parisatiṁ (bj) | laṅghakāpi → laṅghikāpi (sya-all, pts) | kumbhathūṇikāpi → kumbhathūnikāpi (sya-all, pts)
And they did:
“ayyā thullanandā bahussutā bhāṇikā visāradā paṭṭā dhammiṁ kathaṁ kātuṁ;
bahussutā → bahussuta (sya-all) | paṭṭā → paṭṭhā (sya-all) | paṭṭā dhammiṁ kathaṁ → paṭṭhā dhammakathaṁ (pts) | kathaṁ → dhammakathantipi pāṭho (sya-all note) | paṭṭhā → paṭhā A, maṭṭhā B. (pts note)
“Venerable Thullanandā is a learned reciter; she’s confident and skilled at giving teachings.
detha ayyāya, karotha ayyāyā”ti.Give to her; work for her!”

Yā tā bhikkhuniyo appicchā … tā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
khiyyanti → khīyanti (bj, sya-all) | tā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti → (pts)
The nuns of few desires complained and criticized her,
“kathañhi nāma ayyā thullanandā agārikassa samaṇacīvaraṁ dassatī”ti …pe…
agārikassa → āgārikassa (sya-all)
“How can Venerable Thullanandā give monastic robes to householders?” …
“saccaṁ kira, bhikkhave, thullanandā bhikkhunī agārikassa samaṇacīvaraṁ detī”ti?
agārikassa → āgārikassa (sya-all) | agārikassa samaṇacīvaraṁ → (pts)
“Is it true, monks, that the nun Thullanandā does this?”

“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.“It’s true, sir.”

Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…The Buddha rebuked her … kathañhi nāma, bhikkhave, thullanandā bhikkhunī agārikassa samaṇacīvaraṁ dassati.
agārikassa → āgārikassa (sya-all) | agārikassa samaṇacīvaraṁ → (pts)
“How can the nun Thullanandā do this?
Netaṁ, bhikkhave, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…This will affect people’s confidence …” … evañca pana, bhikkhave, bhikkhuniyo imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddisantu—“And, monks, the nuns should recite this training rule like this:

“Yā pana bhikkhunī agārikassa vā paribbājakassa vā paribbājikāya vā samaṇacīvaraṁ dadeyya, pācittiyan”ti.
agārikassa → āgārikassa (sya-all)
‘If a nun gives a monastic robe to a householder or a male wanderer or a female wanderer, she commits an offense entailing confession.’”

Yā panātiA:
yā yādisā …pe…whoever …
bhikkhunītiNun:
…pe… ayaṁ imasmiṁ atthe adhippetā bhikkhunīti.… The nun who has been given the full ordination in unanimity by both Sanghas through a legal procedure consisting of one motion and three announcements that is irreversible and fit to stand—this sort of nun is meant in this case.
Agāriko nāma
agāriko → āgāriko (sya-all)
A householder:
yo koci agāraṁ ajjhāvasati.anyone who lives at home.
Paribbājako nāmaA male wanderer:
bhikkhuñca sāmaṇerañca ṭhapetvā yo koci paribbājakasamāpanno.any male wanderer apart from Buddhist monks and novice monks.
Paribbājikā nāmaA female wanderer:
bhikkhuniñca sikkhamānañca sāmaṇeriñca ṭhapetvā yā kāci paribbājikasamāpannā.any female wanderer apart from Buddhist nuns, trainee nuns, and novice nuns.
Samaṇacīvaraṁ nāmaA monastic robe:
kappakataṁ vuccati.a mark has been made is what is meant. Deti, āpatti pācittiyassa.If she gives it away, she commits an offense entailing confession.

Anāpatti—There is no offense: mātāpitūnaṁ deti,
mātāpitūnaṁ → mātāpitunnaṁ (bj, pts) | mātāpitunnaṁ → mātāpitūnaṁ (bj: machasaṁ)
if she gives one to her mother or father;
tāvakālikaṁ deti,if she lends one out; ummattikāya,if she is insane; ādikammikāyāti.if she is the first offender.

Aṭṭhamasikkhāpadaṁ niṭṭhitaṁ.The eighth training rule is finished.
