There are, however, one or two minor points of difference, which are as follows:\n1. At the end of the announcements (chapter 1,\n[paragraph continues] \u00a7 2) there is inserted the injunction, 'He ought to announce the fact every day.'\n2. In the passages about going from one residence to another (chapter 1, \u00a7 3) read 'unless with the Samgha' instead of 'unless with a regular Bhikkhu.'] 1\n395:1 It will be seen, therefore, that there is very little, one might almost say no practical, difference between the Pariv\u00e2sa, which we have rendered 'probation,' and the M\u00e2natta, which we have usually left untranslated, and sometimes rendered 'penance.' Neither the one nor the other are at present enforced anywhere among the Buddhists.","title":"SBE 17: Second Khandhaka: Chapter 6","type":"page"}
