13. DvebhāgasikkhāpadaMaking a new blanket with too much black wool
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery.
Tena kho pana samayena chabbaggiyā bhikkhū—“bhagavatā paṭikkhittaṁ suddhakāḷakānaṁ eḷakalomānaṁ santhataṁ kārāpetun”ti, te thokaññeva odātaṁ ante ādiyitvā tatheva suddhakāḷakānaṁ eḷakalomānaṁ santhataṁ kārāpenti.
eḷakalomānaṁ → (bj) | te thokaññeva → thokaṁyeva (sya-all) | kārāpetunti → ito paraṁ yu. ma. potthakesu teti pāṭho hoti (sya-all note)At that time, when the monks from the group of six knew that the Buddha had prohibited having a blanket made entirely of black wool, they added just a little bit of white on the edge, effectively having a blanket made entirely of black wool just as before.
Ye te bhikkhū appicchā …pe… te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
khiyyanti → khīyanti (bj, sya-all) | ujjhāyanti khiyyanti → (pts)The monks of few desires complained and criticized them,
“kathañhi nāma chabbaggiyā bhikkhū thokaññeva odātaṁ ante ādiyitvā tatheva suddhakāḷakānaṁ eḷakalomānaṁ santhataṁ kārāpessantī”ti.“How could the monks from the group of six do this?”
Atha kho te bhikkhū chabbaggiye bhikkhū anekapariyāyena vigarahitvā bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ …pe…
chabbaggiye bhikkhū anekapariyāyena vigarahitvā → (bj, sya-all, pts)After rebuking those monks in many ways, they told the Buddha. Soon afterwards he had the Sangha gathered and questioned the monks:
“saccaṁ kira tumhe, bhikkhave, thokaññeva odātaṁ ante ādiyitvā tatheva suddhakāḷakānaṁ eḷakalomānaṁ santhataṁ kārāpethā”ti?“Is it true, monks, that you do this?”
“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.“It’s true, sir.”
Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…The Buddha rebuked them …
kathañhi nāma tumhe, moghapurisā, thokaññeva odātaṁ ante ādiyitvā tatheva suddhakāḷakānaṁ eḷakalomānaṁ santhataṁ kārāpessatha.“Foolish men, how could you do this?
Netaṁ, moghapurisā, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…
pasādāya → pasādāya pasannānaṁ vā bhiyyobhāvāya (sya-all)This will affect people’s confidence …” …
evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—“And, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:
“Navaṁ pana bhikkhunā santhataṁ kārayamānena dve bhāgā suddhakāḷakānaṁ eḷakalomānaṁ ādātabbā tatiyaṁ odātānaṁ catutthaṁ gocariyānaṁ.
ādātabbā → ādātababā (sya-all)‘If a monk is having a new blanket made, he should use two parts of entirely black wool, a third part of white, and a fourth part of brown.
Anādā ce bhikkhu dve bhāge suddhakāḷakānaṁ eḷakalomānaṁ tatiyaṁ odātānaṁ catutthaṁ gocariyānaṁ navaṁ santhataṁ kārāpeyya, nissaggiyaṁ pācittiyan”ti.If he has a new blanket made without using two parts of entirely black wool, a third part of white, and a fourth part of brown, he commits an offense entailing relinquishment and confession.’”
- Navaṁ nāmaNew:
- karaṇaṁ upādāya vuccati.newly made is what is meant.
- Santhataṁ nāmaA blanket:
- santharitvā kataṁ hoti avāyimaṁ.it is made by strewing, not by weaving.
- KārayamānenātiIs having made:
- karonto vā kārāpento vā.
karonto → karotā (bj) | kārāpento → kārāpetā (bj)making it himself or having it made. - Dve bhāgā suddhakāḷakānaṁ eḷakalomānaṁ ādātabbātiHe should use two parts of entirely black wool:
- dhārayitvā dve tulā ādātabbā.
tulā → tulā suddhakāḷakānaṁ eḷakalomānaṁ (sya-all)having weighed it, he should use two measures. - Tatiyaṁ odātānantiA third part of white:
- tulaṁ odātānaṁ.one measure of white.
- Catutthaṁ gocariyānantiA fourth part of brown:
- tulaṁ gocariyānaṁ.one measure of brown.
- Anādā ce bhikkhu dve bhāge suddhakāḷakānaṁ eḷakalomānaṁ tatiyaṁ odātānaṁ catutthaṁ gocariyānanti.
bhikkhu → anādā ce bhikkhu. . . gocariyānan ti anādiyitvā tulaṁ etc. B; here AC insert after anādiyitvā: dve tule suddhakāḷakānaṁ eḷakalomānaṁ. (pts note)Without using two parts of entirely black wool, a third part of white, and a fourth part of brown: - Anādiyitvā dve tule suddhakāḷakānaṁ eḷakalomānaṁ tulaṁ odātānaṁ tulaṁ gocariyānaṁ navaṁ santhataṁ karoti vā kārāpeti vā payoge dukkaṭaṁ,
tule → tulā (bj) | tulaṁ → tūlaṁ (bj) | dve tule suddhakāḷakānaṁ eḷakalomānaṁ → (sya-all, pts)if he makes it, or has it made, without using two measures of entirely black wool, one measure of white, and one measure of brown, then for the effort there is an act of wrong conduct. paṭilābhena nissaggiyaṁ hoti.When he gets the blanket, it becomes subject to relinquishment.
Nissajjitabbaṁ saṅghassa vā gaṇassa vā puggalassa vā.
saṅghassa vā gaṇassa vā → (pts)The blanket should be relinquished to a sangha, a group, or an individual.
Evañca pana, bhikkhave, nissajjitabbaṁ.“And, monks, it should be relinquished like this. …”
…pe…(To be expanded as in Bu NP 1:3.2.5–3.2.29, with appropriate substitutions.)
“idaṁ me, bhante, santhataṁ anādiyitvā dve tule suddhakāḷakānaṁ eḷakalomānaṁ tulaṁ odātānaṁ tulaṁ gocariyānaṁ kārāpitaṁ nissaggiyaṁ.
bhante → bhante navaṁ (bj) | tule → tulā (bj) | dve tule suddhakāḷakānaṁ eḷakalomānaṁ → (sya-all, pts)“Venerables, this blanket, which I got made without using two measures of entirely black wool, one measure of white, and one measure of brown, is to be relinquished.
Imāhaṁ saṅghassa nissajjāmī”ti …pe…I relinquish it to the Sangha.” …
dadeyyāti …pe…“the Sangha should give …”
dadeyyunti …pe…“you should give …”
āyasmato dammīti.“I give this blanket back to you.”
Attanā vippakataṁ attanā pariyosāpeti, nissaggiyaṁ pācittiyaṁ.If he finishes what he began himself, he commits an offense entailing relinquishment and confession. Attanā vippakataṁ parehi pariyosāpeti, nissaggiyaṁ pācittiyaṁ.If he has others finish what he began himself, he commits an offense entailing relinquishment and confession. Parehi vippakataṁ attanā pariyosāpeti, nissaggiyaṁ pācittiyaṁ.If he finishes himself what was begun by others, he commits an offense entailing relinquishment and confession. Parehi vippakataṁ parehi pariyosāpeti, nissaggiyaṁ pācittiyaṁ.If he has others finish what was begun by others, he commits an offense entailing relinquishment and confession.
Aññassatthāya karoti vā kārāpeti vā, āpatti dukkaṭassa.If he makes one, or has one made, for someone else, he commits an offense of wrong conduct. Aññena kataṁ paṭilabhitvā paribhuñjati, āpatti dukkaṭassa.If he gets one that was made by someone else and then uses it, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.
Anāpatti—There is no offense:
tulaṁ odātānaṁ tulaṁ gocariyānaṁ ādiyitvā karoti,if he makes one using one measure of white and one measure of brown;
bahutaraṁ odātānaṁ bahutaraṁ gocariyānaṁ ādiyitvā karoti,if he makes one using more than one measure of white and more than one measure of brown;
suddhaṁ odātānaṁ suddhaṁ gocariyānaṁ ādiyitvā karoti,if he makes one using just white and brown;
vitānaṁ vā bhūmattharaṇaṁ vā sāṇipākāraṁ vā bhisiṁ vā bibbohanaṁ vā karoti,
bhūmattharaṇaṁ → bhummattharaṇaṁ (bj, sya-all, pts) | bibbohanaṁ → bimbohanaṁ (sya-all, pts)if he makes a canopy, a floor cover, a cloth screen, a mattress, or a pillow;
ummattakassa,if he is insane;
ādikammikassāti.if he is the first offender.
