Now at that time the Khabbaggiya Bhikkhus laid up much store of brass ware and copper ware.\nPeople who came on a visit to the Vih\u00e2ras, seeing it, murmured, &c., saying, 'Like those who spread out copper (for sale) 3.'\nThey told this matter to the blessed One.\n'You are not, O Bhikkhus, to lay up much store of brass ware and copper ware. Whosoever does so, shall be guilty of a dukkata 4.'\n2. Now at that time the Bhikkhus were afraid to use boxes to put eye-ointment in 1, and little flat sticks to lay it on with 2, and instruments for removing wax from the ear 3, and handles (for razors, staves, &c.) 4.\nThey told this matter to the Blessed One.\n'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, the use of these things.'\nNow at that time the Khabbaggiya Bhikkhus sat down lolling up against their waist-cloths (arranged as a cushion) 5, and the edges of the waist-cloths wore out 6.\n'You are not, O Bhikkhus, to loll in this way. Whosoever does so, shall be guilty of a dukkata.'\nNow at that time a certain Bhikkhu was sick, and without some handicraft 7 he was ill at ease.\n'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, the use of a loom, and of shuttles, strings, tickets, and all the apparatus belonging to a loom.\n140:1 Sand\u00e2sa. So at G\u00e2taka I, 138, 4, a barber pulls out a white hair from the king's head, suvanna-sand\u00e2sena.\n140:2 This license is-repeated in the next chapter.\n140:3 Kamsa-pattharik\u00e2 t\u00ee kamsa-bhanda-v\u00e2nig\u00e2 (B.).\n140:4 They might have all kinds of brass ware, except certain articles, according to chapter 37 below.\n141:1 A\u00f1ganim. The use of these has been already allowed at Mah\u00e2vagga VI, 12, I, 2, 4.\n141:2 In the text read a\u00f1gana-sal\u00e2kam, on which see Mah\u00e2vagga VI, 12, 3, 4.\n141:3 Already allowed in the last chapter.\n141:4 Bandhana-mattan ti v\u00e2si-kattara-yatthi-\u00e2d\u00eenam v\u00e2 bandhanamattam (B.). It is clear from this note, and the repetition of the pi in the text, that we have to do here with a special object, and not a mere qualification of the other three.\n141:5 Samgh\u00e2ti-pallatthik\u00e2ya nis\u00eeditv\u00e2. See IV, 4, 7 at the end, and the Old Commentary on the 26th Sekhiya. Childers translates it as if it were the same as ukkutikam nis\u00eeditv\u00e2; but it must be different from it as that was allowed and constantly practised.\n141:6 Patt\u00e2 lugganti. So read (not patt\u00e2 as in the text) in accordance with our note 3 on Mah\u00e2vagga VIII, 21, I. The second word occurs also above, V, 16, 2; 17, 2. From this passage here it is probable that attha-p\u00e2daka at Mah\u00e2vagga VIII, 21, means a stool.\n141:7 \u00c2yogam. Compare the Sutta-vibha\u1e45ga, P\u00e2kittiya LXXXVIII, 2, 2; G\u00e2taka III, 447, 6.","title":"SBE 20: Fifth Khandhaka: Chapter 28","type":"page"}
