13. UjjhāpanakasikkhāpadaComplaining
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā rājagahe viharati veḷuvane kalandakanivāpe.At one time the Buddha was staying at Rājagaha in the Bamboo Grove, the squirrel sanctuary.
Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā dabbo mallaputto saṅghassa senāsanañca paññapeti bhattāni ca uddisati.
paññapeti → paññāpeti (bj, sya-all) | paññāpeti → paññapeti (bj: machasaṁ)At that time Venerable Dabba the Mallian was assigning the dwellings and designating the meals,
Tena kho pana samayena mettiyabhūmajakā bhikkhū navakā ceva honti appapuññā ca.
mettiyabhūmajakā → mettiyabhummajakā (bj, sya-all, pts1ed) | mettiyabhūmajakā → mettiyabhummajakā (pts) | mettiyabhummajakā → mettiyabhūmajakā (bj: machasaṁ) | mettiyabhūmajakā → mettiyabhūmmajakā (cck: sī. syā.)and the monks Mettiya and Bhūmajaka were newly ordained.
Yāni saṅghassa lāmakāni senāsanāni tāni tesaṁ pāpuṇanti lāmakāni ca bhattāni.They had little merit, getting inferior dwellings and meals.
Te āyasmantaṁ dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ bhikkhū ujjhāpenti—They then complained about Dabba to other monks,
“chandāya dabbo mallaputto senāsanaṁ paññapeti, chandāya ca bhattāni uddisatī”ti.
paññapeti → paññāpeti (bj, sya-all, pts)“Dabba the Mallian assigns dwellings and designates meals based on favoritism.”
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 mettiyabhūmajakā bhikkhū āyasmantaṁ dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ bhikkhū ujjhāpessantī”ti …pe…
mettiyabhūmajakā → mettiyabhummajakā (bj, sya-all, pts)“How can the monks Mettiya and Bhūmajaka complain about Venerable Dabba to other monks?”…
“saccaṁ kira tumhe, bhikkhave, dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ bhikkhū ujjhāpethā”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, dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ bhikkhū ujjhāpessatha.
ujjhāpessatha → bhikkhu ujjhāpenti, bhikkhu ujjhāpetha, bhikkhuṁ ujjhāpessatha A, bhikkhū ujjh- B, bhikkhuṁ ujjh- C. Buddh.: Dabbaṁ Mallaputtaṁ bhikkhū ujjhāpentīti chandāya Dabbo Mallaputto 'tiādīni vadantā taṁ āyasmantaṁ tehi bhikkhūhi avajānāpenti avaññāya olokāpenti lāmakato vā cintāpentīti attho,... ojjhāpentīti pi pāṭho ayam ev'attho. (pts note)“Foolish men, how can you do this?
Netaṁ, moghapurisā, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…This will affect people’s confidence …” …
evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—“And, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:
“Ujjhāpanake pācittiyan”ti.‘If a monk complains, he commits an offense entailing confession.’”
Evañcidaṁ bhagavatā bhikkhūnaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ paññattaṁ hoti.In this way the Buddha laid down this training rule for the monks.
Tena kho pana samayena mettiyabhūmajakā bhikkhū—
mettiyabhūmajakā → mettiyabhummajakā (bj, sya-all, pts)Knowing that the Buddha had prohibited complaining, the monks Mettiya and Bhūmajaka thought of other ways of getting the monks to hear about their grievances.
“‘bhagavatā ujjhāpanakaṁ paṭikkhittan’ti ‘ettāvatā bhikkhū sossantī’”ti bhikkhūnaṁ sāmantā āyasmantaṁ dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ khiyyanti—
bhikkhū sossantī’”ti → vihesissantīti (itipi) | khiyyanti → khīyanti (bj, sya-all, pts) | sossantī’’ti → vihesissantīti (cck: itipi) | sossantīti → bhikkhū vihesantīti (-titi A) AB, bh- sossantīti C. (pts note)They then criticized Dabba the Mallian in the vicinity of other monks,
“chandāya dabbo mallaputto senāsanaṁ paññapeti, chandāya ca bhattāni uddisatī”ti.
paññapeti → paññāpeti (bj, sya-all, pts)“Dabba assigns dwellings and designates meals based on favoritism.”
Ye te bhikkhū appicchā …pe… te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
khiyyanti → khīyanti (bj, sya-all)The monks of few desires complained and criticized them,
“kathañhi nāma mettiyabhūmajakā bhikkhū āyasmantaṁ dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ khiyyissantī”ti …pe…
mettiyabhūmajakā → mettiyabhummajakā (bj, sya-all) | khiyyissantīti → khīyissantīti (bj)“How can the monks Mettiya and Bhūmajaka criticize Venerable Dabba?”…
“saccaṁ kira tumhe, bhikkhave, dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ khiyyathā”ti?
khiyyathāti → khīyathāti (bj, sya-all)“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, dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ khiyyissatha.
khiyyissatha → khīyissatha (bj, sya-all)“Foolish men, how can you do this?
Netaṁ, moghapurisā, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…This will affect people’s confidence …” …
evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—“And so, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:
“Ujjhāpanake khiyyanake pācittiyan”ti.
khiyyanake → khīyanake (sya-all, pts1ed) | khiyyanake → khīyanake (bj) | khiyyanake pācittiyanti → khīyanake pācittiyan ti (pts)‘If a monk complains or criticizes, he commits an offense entailing confession.’”

khiyyati → khīyati (bj, sya-all, pts) | maṅkukattukāmo → maṅkuṁ kattukāmo (pts) | maṅkukattukāmo → maṅkuṁ kattukāmo (sya-all: yu.)when someone who is fully ordained is the assigner of dwellings or the designator of meals or the distributor of congee or the distributor of fruit or the distributor of fresh foods or the distributor of minor requisites, and he has been appointed by the Sangha as such, then if a monk complains about him or criticizes him to one who is fully ordained—desiring to disparage him, desiring to give him a bad reputation, desiring to humiliate him—he commits an offense entailing confession.
Dhammakamme dhammakammasaññī ujjhāpanake khiyyanake āpatti pācittiyassa.
khiyyanake → khīyanake (bj, sya-all, pts)If it is a legitimate legal procedure, and he perceives it as such, and he complains or criticizes, he commits an offense entailing confession.

khiyyati → khīyati (bj, sya-all, pts)If he complains or criticizes him to one who is not fully ordained, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.

Anāpatti—There is no offense:
pakatiyā chandā dosā mohā bhayā karontaṁ ujjhāpeti vā khiyyati vā,
khiyyati → khīyati (bj, sya-all, pts)if he complains about or criticizes one who regularly acts out of favoritism, ill will, confusion, or fear;
