Footnotes
274:1 The ukkhepaniyakamma pattiy appa"t"inissagge (expulsion for a Bhikkhu's refusal to atone for an offence) is spoken of here exactly in the same terms as those in which the ukkhepaniyakamma pattiy adassane (expulsion for a Bhikkhu's refusal to see an offence) is spoken of in the preceding clause. The brethren say to the pretended offender, 'You have committed an offence, friend; atone for that offence'--which he refuses to do.
274:2 As above; the Bhikkhus institute the ukkhepaniyakamma ppikya di"t"th"iy appa"t"inissagge (expulsion for a Bhikkhu's refusal to renounce a false doctrine).
275:1 As in 2, the first and second of the three cases given in 1 are combined, so follow now combinations of the first and third, the second and third, and of the first, second, and third cases respectively.
275:2 Here follow again the cases of the ukkhepaniyakamma pattiy appa"t"inissagge and ppikya di"t"th"iy appa"t"inissagge, and the combinations of the three cases as above.
275:3 Here follow the two other cases, together with the combinations of the three, exactly as above.
