People were annoyed, murmured, and became indignant, saying: 'That is what is done at the feast of the Ga\u1e45g\u00e2, and the Mali 2.'\nThey told this matter to the Blessed One.\n'A Bhikkhun\u00ee is not, O Bhikkhus, to be carried in a vehicle. Whosoever does so, shall be dealt with according to law 3.'\nNow at that time a certain Bhikkhun\u00ee was sick, and unable to go on foot.\n'I allow the use of a carriage, O Bhikkhus, to a sick (Bhikkhun\u00ee) 4.'\nNow the Bhikkhun\u00ees thought: 'Should the carts be yoked with cows or bulls?'\n'I allow, O Bhikkhus, a cart yoked with cows or bulls, or drawn by hand 1.'\nNow at that time a certain Bhikkhun\u00ee was much distressed by the jolting of the cart.\n'I allow, O Bhikkhus, the use of a litter or sedan chair 2.'\n359:2 On all these expressions, see our notes above at Mah\u00e2vagga V, 9, 3, where they recur word for word.\n359:3 This is the 85th Bhikkhun\u00ee P\u00e2kittiya.\n359:4 This is repeated from the 85th Bhikkhun\u00ee P\u00e2kittiya. The corresponding permission is given to Bhikkhus by Mah\u00e2vagga V, 10, 2.\n360:1 Hattha-vattakam. See the note on Mah\u00e2vagga V, 10, 3.\n360:2 So also for Bhikkhus at Mah\u00e2vagga V, 10, 3.","title":"SBE 20: Tenth Khandhaka: Chapter 21","type":"page"}
