Now at that time a certain lay disciple had given to the Bhikkhun\u00ee-samgha a servant's lodge 2 (to live in).\nThey told this matter to the Blessed One.\n'I allow, O Bhikkhus, the use of a stable.'\nIt did not satisfy (their wants) 3. They told this matter to the Blessed One.\n'I allow, O Bhikkhus, a separate residence for Bhikkhun\u00ees.'\nThat did not satisfy their wants. They told this matter to the Blessed One.\n'I allow, O Bhikkhus, building operations 4 (to be carried on for the benefit of Bhikkhun\u00ees).'\n'I allow Bhikkhun\u00ees, O Bhikkhus, to assign certain places to live in to individual members of the Order 1.'\n363:2 This word has already occurred, in a list of various buildings, at Mah\u00e2vagga III, 5, 9, where we have rendered it stable. Buddhaghosa says here uddositan (MS. udosita) ti bhanda-s\u00e2l\u00e2, and as at Mah\u00e2vagga I, 61, assa-bhand\u00e2 and hatthi-bhand\u00e2 are evidently grooms attending on horses or elephants (compare G\u00e2taka I, 62, 3), bhanda-s\u00e2l\u00e2 may mean a servant's hall for the use of that particular class of servants. A lawsuit about an uddosita forms the Introductory Story to the 1st Bhikkhun\u00ee Samgh\u00e2disesa, but the passage throws no light on the special meaning of the term. See also the Sutta-vibha\u1e45ga on Nissaggiya II, 3, 5, and Khudda Sikkh\u00e2 III, 19. The Sanskrit equivalent might perhaps be udavasita, if the reading of the Samanta P\u00e2s\u00e2dik\u00e2 had any traditional value; but the dd is not doubtful in the MSS. of the text at any of the passages quoted. Assa-s\u00e2l\u00e2 is the word for stable at G\u00e2taka I, 62, 3.\n363:3 Na sammati. See the note on V, 13, 3.\n363:4 Navakammam. See the note above at V, 13, 3.\n364:1 Puggalikam k\u00e2tum. See the note above on X, 15, 1.","title":"SBE 20: Tenth Khandhaka: Chapter 24","type":"page"}
