'In case, O Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu be litigious, contentious, quarrelsome, disputatious, and constantly raise questions before the Sa"m"gha, And the other Bhikkhus say among each other: "This Bhikkhu, friends, is indeed litigious, contentious, well, let us proceed against him with the ta"g"g"aniyakamma 1." And they proceed against him with the ta"g"g"aniyakamma unlawfully 2 with an incomplete congregation 3, and he then goes from that district to another district. There the Bhikkhus say among each other: "Against this Bhikkhu, friends, the Sa"m"gha has proceeded with the ta"g"g"aniyakamma unlawfully with an incomplete congregation; well, let us proceed against him with the ta"g"g"aniyakamma." And they proceed against him with the ta"g"g"aniyakamma unlawfully with a complete congregation, and he then goes from that district again to- another district. And there the Bhikkhus again say among each other (&c.,

down to:
) and they proceed against him with the ta"g"g"aniyakamma lawfully with an incomplete congregation.... seemingly lawfully 1 with an congregation.... seemingly lawfully with a complete congregation 2.

'In case, O Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu be litigious, &c. 3

6.
'In case, O Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu be ignorant, unlearned, a constant offender, unable to discern what is an offence 4, and lives in lay society, unduly associating himself with lay people. And the other Bhikkhus say among each other: "This Bhikkhu, friends, is indeed ignorant, unlearned, well, let us proceed against him with the nissayakamma 5," and they proceed against him with the nissayakamma unlawfully with an incomplete congregation, well, let us proceed against him with the pabb"g"aniyakamma 1," well, let us proceed against him with the pa"t"isra"n"iyakamma 3," well, let us pronounce expulsion against him for his refusal to see that offence 5," he lives modestly, well, let us revoke the ta"g"g"aniyakamma sentence pronounced against him." And they revoke the ta"g"g"aniyakamma sentence

p. 283

pronounced against him unlawfully with an incomplete congregation. And he then goes from that district to another district. There the Bhikkhus say among each other: "The ta"g"g"aniyakamma sentence, friends, pronounced against this Bhikkhu has been revoked by the Sa"m"gha unlawfully with an incomplete congregation," &c. 1

'In case, O Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu against whom the Sa"m"gha has proceeded with the nissayakamma.... with the pabb"g"aniyakamma.... with the pa"t"isra"n"iyakamma.... against whom the Sa"m"gha has pronounced expulsion for his refusal to see an offence.... for his refusal to atone for an offence.... for his refusal to renounce a false doctrine, behaves himself properly, &c. 2

'In case, O Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu be litigious, contentious, quarrelsome, disputatious, and constantly raise questions before the Sa"m"gha. And the other Bhikkhus say among each other: "This Bhikkhu, friends, is indeed litigious, contentious, well, let us proceed against him with the ta"g"g"aniyakamma." And they proceed against him with the ta"g"g"aniyakamma, unlawfully with an incomplete congregation. Now among the Sa"m"gha residing in that district a contention is raised whether this is an act performed unlawfully with an incomplete congregation, or an act performed unlawfully with a complete congregation, or an act performed lawfully with an incomplete

p. 284

congregation, or an act performed seemingly law-fully with an incomplete congregation, or an act performed seemingly lawfully with a complete congregation, or an act not performed, badly performed, to be performed again. In this case, O Bhikkhus, the Bhikkhus who say: "It is an act performed unlawfully with an incomplete congregation"--and the Bhikkhus who say: "It is an act not performed, badly performed, to be performed again"--these Bhikkhus are right herein.

'In case, O Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu be litigious (&c., as in 15, down to:) and they proceed against him with the ta"g"g"aniyakamma unlawfully with a complete congregation.... lawfully with an incomplete congregation.... seemingly lawfully with an incomplete congregation.... seemingly lawfully with a complete congregation. Now among the Sa"m"gha residing in that district (&c., as in 15).

As in 1, but with a different arrangement of the five categories on which this exposition is based: unlawfully with an incomplete congregation, unlawfully with a complete congregation, lawfully with an incomplete congregation, seemingly lawfully with an incomplete congregation, seemingly lawfully with a complete congregation. In 1 these categories are arranged in their natural order; in 2 the second is placed at the head, then follow the third, fourth, fifth, and finally the first; in 3 the exposition likewise begins with the third and ends with the second, &c. This arrangement is called 'a wheel' ("k"akka).

The text treats here in 17, 18 of the nissayakamma (see 6) and of the Sa"m"ghakammas down to the expulsion for a Bhikkhu's refusal to renounce a false doctrine (see 7-11) in the same manner as the ta"g"g"aniyakamma is spoken of in 15, 16. Then follows ( 19, 20) an exactly analogous exposition about the revocation of these Sa"m"ghakammas, which stands in the same relation to 15-18 in which 12-14 stand to 1-11.
