Now at that time the country people loaded much salt, and oil, and rice, and hard food on their carts, and making a laager in the outer enclosure of the \u00c2r\u00e2ma, they waited there, saying, 'When it comes to our turn, we will provide a meal.' And a great storm-cloud arose. Then those people went to the place where the venerable \u00c2nanda was; and when they had come there they said to the venerable \u00c2nanda: 'We loaded a quantity of salt, and oil, and rice, and hard food on to our carts; and they stand there. Now a great storm-cloud has arisen. What are we now, \u00c2nanda, Sir, to do with them?'\nThen the venerable \u00c2nanda told this thing to the Blessed One.\n2. 'In that case, \u00c2nanda, let the Samgha decide upon some outside building as a kappiyabh\u00fbmi (that is to say, a site, outside the actual dwelling, in which provisions can be kept or cooked without breaking the rule laid down in the last chapter) and keep the stores there (in a building) of any shape the Samgha chooses, such as vih\u00e2ra, addhayoga, p\u00e2s\u00e2da, hammiya, guh\u00e2 1.\n'And thus, O Bhikkhus, should it be resolved upon. A discreet and able Bhikkhu should proclaim the following \u00f1atti before the Samgha: \"Let the Samgha, reverend Sirs, hear me. If the Samgha is ready, let the Samgha appoint the Vih\u00e2ra called N. N. to be our kappiya-bh\u00fbmi. This is the \u00f1atti. Let the Samgha, reverend Sirs, hear me.\n[paragraph continues] The Samgha appoints the Vih\u00e2ra called N. N. to be our kappiya-bh\u00fbmi. Let any one of the venerable brethren who is in favour of appointing the Vih\u00e2ra (&c., down to:) thus I understand.\"'\n3. Now at that time men in that place--the kappiya-bh\u00fbmi duly chosen by resolution (of the Samgha)--boiled congey, and boiled rice, and mixed curries, and cut up meat, and split fire-wood. And when the Blessed One, as the night was passing away, rose up, he heard a great and loud noise, as of the cawing of crows. On hearing this he asked the venerable \u00c2nanda: 'What now, \u00c2nanda, may be this great and loud noise, as of the cawing of crows?'\n4. 'In that place, Lord,--the kappiya-bh\u00fbmi duly chosen by resolution (of the Samgha),--men are now boiling congey, and boiling rice, and mixing curries, and cutting up meat, and splitting fire-wood. Thence, Lord, comes that great and loud noise, as of the cawing of crows.'\nThen the Blessed One, in that connection, and on that account, after he had delivered a religious discourse, said to the Bhikkhus\n'A kappiya-bh\u00fbmi, O Bhikkhus, duly chosen, is not to be made use of. Whosoever shall so use it, is guilty of a dukkata offence. I allow you, O Bhikkhus, a kappiya-bh\u00fbmi of three kinds, one that has become so by means of a proclamation 1,\nan ox-stall 1, and a building belonging to laymen 2.'\n5. Now at that time the venerable Yasoga was sick, and drugs were brought for his use, and these the Bhikkhus put out of doors. Vermin ate them, and thieves carried them away 3.\nThey told this thing to the Blessed One.\n'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to use a duly chosen kappiya-bh\u00fbmi (to keep drugs in). I allow you, O Bhikkhus, a kappiya-bh\u00fbmi of four kinds, one that has become so by means of a proclamation, an ox-stall, a building belonging to laymen, and a duly chosen one.'\n____________\nEnd of the twenty-fourth Bh\u00e2nav\u00e2ra.\n119:1 On these five kinds of buildings, see above, I, 30, 4; II, 8, 1.\n120:1 Buddhaghosa says on this word: 'When a Vih\u00e2ra is to be erected on piles, or the foundations of its walls are to be dug out, and the stones on which it is to rest are already laid, then when the first pile or the first stone of the walls is put upon them, the men standing round in a body proclaim, \"Let us make a kappiyakut\u00ee.\"' The proclamation cannot be made after the building has got further than the actual stage here described. Uss\u00e2van\u00e2 is p. 121 therefore from uss\u00e2veti, 'to proclaim;' and antika is used here, as below in VII, 1, 7.\n121:1 Gonis\u00e2dika. Compare Buddhaghosa's explanation of gonis\u00e2di-nivittho g\u00e2mo at Sutta-vibha\u1e45ga, P\u00e2r. II, 3, as given by Minayeff, 'Pr\u00e2timoksha,' p. 66, lines 7, 8. Here Buddhaghosa says simply, 'There are two kinds of ox-stalls; \u00e2r\u00e2ma ox-stalls and vih\u00e2ra ox-stalls. Of these, when neither the \u00e2r\u00e2ma nor the dwellings are fenced in (parikkhitt\u00e2ni honti), that is an \u00e2r\u00e2ma ox-stall; when all or some of the dwellings are fenced in, and not the \u00e2r\u00e2ma, that is a vih\u00e2ra ox-stall. So both kinds depend upon the fencing in of the \u00e2r\u00e2ma.\n121:2 This seems to mean that stores could be kept for the Samgha on laymen's premises.\n121:3 Compare above, VI, 17, 7.","title":"SBE 17: Sixth Khandhaka: Chapter 33","type":"page"}
