And the venerable Up\u00e2li 1 went to the place where the Blessed One was. Having approached him and respectfully saluted the Blessed One, he sat down near him. Sitting near him the venerable Up\u00e2li said to the Blessed One: 'Lord, if a complete congregation performs an act at which the presence (of the accused Bhikkhu) is required, in his absence--is this act, Lord, performed lawfully according to Dhamma and Vinaya?'\n'It is performed, Up\u00e2li, unlawfully against Dhamma and Vinaya.'\n2. 'Lord, if a complete congregation performs an act at which (the accused Bhikkhu) ought to be called upon for an answer, without calling upon him for an answer--if it performs an act at which the confession (of the culprit) is required, without his confession--if it grants to a Bhikkhu to whom sativinaya 2 ought to be granted, an am\u00fblhavinaya 3--if it proceeds against a Bhikkhu to whom am\u00fblhavinaya ought to be granted, with the tassap\u00e2piyyasik\u00e2kamma 4--if it proceeds against a Bhikkhu against whom the tassap\u00e2piyyasik\u00e2kamma ought\nto be instituted, with the tagganiyakamma 1--if it proceeds against a Bhikkhu against whom the tagganiyakamma ought to be instituted, with the nissayakamma--if it proceeds against a Bhikkhu against whom the nissayakamma ought to be instituted, with the pabb\u00e2ganiyakamma--if it proceeds against a Bhikkhu against whom the pabb\u00e2ganiyakamma ought to be instituted, with the patis\u00e2raniyakamma--if it proceeds against a Bhikkhu against whom the patis\u00e2raniyakamma ought to be instituted, with the ukkhepaniyakamma--if it sentences a Bhikkhu against whom the ukkhepaniyakamma ought to be instituted, to pariv\u00e2sa 2--if it sentences a Bhikkhu who ought to be sentenced to pariv\u00e2sa, to m\u00fbl\u00e2ya patikassan\u00e2--if it sentences a Bhikkhu who ought to be sentenced to m\u00fbl\u00e2ya patikassan\u00e2, to m\u00e2natta--if it grants to a Bhikkhu who ought to be sentenced to m\u00e2natta, the decree of abbh\u00e2na--if it confers on a Bhikkhu to whom abbh\u00e2na ought to be granted, the upasampad\u00e2 ordination,--is this act, Lord, performed lawfully according to Dhamma and Vinaya?'\n3. 'It is performed, Up\u00e2li, unlawfully against Dhamma and Vinaya. If a complete congregation, Up\u00e2li, performs an act at which the presence (of the accused Bhikkhu) is required, in his absence (&c., down to:) confers on a Bhikkhu to whom abbh\u00e2na ought to be granted, the upasampad\u00e2 ordination,--in such case, Up\u00e2li, this act is performed unlawfully against Dhamma and Vinaya, and in such case this Samgha trespasses against the law.'\n4. 'Lord, if a complete congregation performs an act at which the presence (of the accused Bhikkhu) is required, in his presence (&c., down to:) confers on a person, on whom the upasampad\u00e2 ordination ought to be conferred, the upasampad\u00e2 ordination,--is this act, Lord, performed lawfully according to Dhamma and Vinaya?'\nIt is performed, Up\u00e2li, lawfully according to Dhamma and Vinaya. If a complete congregation performs an act (&c., down to:) the upasampad\u00e2 ordination,--in such case, Up\u00e2li, this act is performed lawfully according to Dhamma and Vinaya, and in such case this Samgha does not trespass against the law.'\n5. 'Lord, if a complete congregation grants to a Bhikkhu to whom sativinaya ought to be granted, an am\u00fblhavinaya, and to a Bhikkhu to whom am\u00fblhavinaya ought to be granted, a sativinaya (&c. 1, down to:) confers on a Bhikkhu to whom abbh\u00e2na. ought to be granted, the upasampad\u00e2 ordination, and grants to a person on whom the upasampad\u00e2 ordination ought to be conferred, the decree of abbh\u00e2na,--is this act, Lord, performed lawfully according to Dhamma and Vinaya?'\n6. 'It is performed, Up\u00e2li, unlawfully against Dhamma and Vinaya. If a complete congregation grants to a Bhikkhu, &c.,--in such case, Up\u00e2li, this act is performed unlawfully against Dhamma and\n[paragraph continues] Vinaya, and in such case this Samgha trespasses against the law.'\n7. 'Lord, if a complete congregation grants sativinaya to a Bhikkhu to whom sativinaya ought to be granted, and am\u00fblhavinaya to a Bhikkhu to whom am\u00fblhavinaya ought to be granted (&c. 1, down to:) grants abbh\u00e2na to a Bhikkhu to whom abbh\u00e2na ought to be granted, and confers the upasampad\u00e2 ordination on a person on whom the upasampad\u00e2 ordination ought to be conferred,--is this act, Lord, performed lawfully according to Dhamma and Vinaya?'\n8. 'It is performed, Up\u00e2li, lawfully according to Dhamma and Vinaya (&c., down to:) and in such case this Samgha does not trespass against the law.'\n9. And the Blessed One thus addressed the Bhikkhus: 'If a complete congregation, O Bhikkhus, grants to a Bhikkhu to whom sativinaya ought to be granted, an am\u00fblhavinaya, in such case, O Bhikkhus, this act is performed unlawfully against Dhamma and Vinaya, and in such case this Samgha trespasses against the law. If a complete congregation, O Bhikkhus, institutes against a Bhikkhu to whom sativinaya ought to be granted, the tassap\u00e2piyyasik\u00e2kamma (&c. 2, down to:) grants to a person on whom the\nupasampad\u00e2 ordination ought to be conferred, the decree of abbh\u00e2na,--in such case, O Bhikkhus, this act is performed unlawfully against Dhamma and Vinaya, and in such case this Samgha trespasses against the law.'\n__________________\nEnd of the second Bh\u00e2nav\u00e2ra, which contains the questions of Up\u00e2li.\n276:1 That the redactors of this Pitaka have chosen Up\u00e2li here and at X, 6, Kullavagga II, 2, 7, to question the Blessed One about the Vinaya regulations, stands evidently in connection with the tradition ascribing to Up\u00e2li an especial authority regarding the rules of the Order and styling him, as is said in the D\u00eepavamsa (IV, 3, 5; V, 7,. 9), agganikkhittaka, i.e. original depositary, of the Vinaya tradition. See our Introduction, p. xii seq.\n276:2 See Kullavagga IV, 4, 10.\n276:3 See Kullavagga IV, 5.\n276:4 See Kullavagga IV, 11.\n277:1 This Samghakamma and the following ones are explained in Kullavagga I, 1 seq.\n277:2 For this term and the next ones, see Kullavagga III, 1-9.\n278:1 The Samghakammas enumerated in \u00a7 2, beginning with sativinaya, are arranged here in pairs, in direct and reverse order, in this way: sativinaya and am\u00fblhavinaya, am\u00fblhavinaya and sativinaya; then am\u00fblhavinaya and tassap\u00e2piyyasik\u00e2kamma, tassap\u00e2piyyasik\u00e2kamma and am\u00fblhavinaya, &c.\n279:1 The same dyads as in \u00a7 5.\n279:2 In this paragraph all possible combinations of two different Samghakammas are formed in this way: first, sativinaya is combined with am\u00fblhavinaya and all the rest, down to upasampad\u00e2; then am\u00fblhavinaya with all terms from tassap\u00e2piyyasik\u00e2 down to sativinaya, and so on; the whole series ends thus with the combinations of upasampad\u00e2raha with all terms from sativinaya down to abbh\u00e2na.","title":"SBE 17: Ninth Khandhaka: Chapter 6","type":"page"}
