Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.At one time when the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery, Tena kho pana samayena chabbaggiyā bhikkhū mañcampi pīṭhampi tūlonaddhaṁ kārāpenti.the monks from the group of six had beds and benches made upholstered with cotton down. Manussā vihāracārikaṁ āhiṇḍantā passitvā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
khiyyanti → khīyanti (bj, sya-all, pts)
When people walking about the dwellings saw this, they complained and criticized those monks,
“kathañhi nāma samaṇā sakyaputtiyā mañcampi pīṭhampi tūlonaddhaṁ kārāpessanti, seyyathāpi gihī kāmabhogino”ti.
mañcampi pīṭhampi tūlonaddhaṁ → mañcaṁ pi (pts) | gihī kāmabhoginoti → gihikāmabhogino ti (pts)
“How can the Sakyan monastics have beds and benches made upholstered with cotton down? They’re just like householders who indulge in worldly pleasures!”

“kathañhi nāma chabbaggiyā bhikkhū mañcampi pīṭhampi tūlonaddhaṁ kārāpessantī”ti …pe…
mañcampi pīṭhampi tūlonaddhaṁ → mañcaṁ pi (pts)
“How could the monks from the group of six do this?” …
“saccaṁ kira tumhe, bhikkhave, mañcampi pīṭhampi tūlonaddhaṁ kārāpethā”ti?
mañcampi pīṭhampi tūlonaddhaṁ kārāpethāti → mañcaṁ pi kārāpethā ti (pts)
“Is it true, monks, that you did this?”

“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.“It’s true, sir.”

Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…The Buddha rebuked them … kathañhi nāma tumhe, moghapurisā, mañcampi pīṭhampi tūlonaddhaṁ kārāpessatha.
mañcampi pīṭhampi tūlonaddhaṁ → mañcaṁ pi (pts)
“Foolish men, how could you do this?
Netaṁ, moghapurisā, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…

This will affect people’s confidence …” …
