1. Then the Blessed One, after having dwelt near 搁腻箩补驳补丑补 as long as he thought fit, went forth on his pilgrimage to 颁辞诲补苍腻惫补迟迟丑耻. Going from place to place on his pilgrimage, he came to 颁辞诲补苍腻惫补迟迟丑耻. At that time there dwelt in a certain residence many Bhikkhus, the eldest of whom was an ignorant, unlearned person: he neither knew Uposatha, nor the Uposatha service, nor the 笔腻迟颈尘辞办办丑补, nor the recital of the 笔腻迟颈尘辞办办丑补.

2. Now those Bhikkhus thought: 'It has been prescribed by the Blessed One that the eldest Bhikku is master of the 笔腻迟颈尘辞办办丑补, and here the eldest of us is an ignorant, unlearned person: he neither knows Uposatha . . . nor the recital of the 笔腻迟颈尘辞办办丑补. Well, how are we to act?'

They told this thing to the Blessed One.

鈥淚 prescribe, O Bhikkhus, that (in such a case) that Bhikkhu who is (most) learned and competent, is to be made master of the 笔腻迟颈尘辞办办丑补.鈥�

3. At that time there dwelt in a certain residence on the day of Uposatha many ignorant, unlearned Bhikkhus: they neither knew Uposatha . . . nor the recital of the 笔腻迟颈尘辞办办丑补. They called upon the Thera: 'May it please the Thera, reverend Sir, to recite the 笔腻迟颈尘辞办办丑补.' He replied: 'I am not competent to do so.' They called upon the next eldest, &c. He also replied, &c. They called upon the third eldest, &c. In this manner they called upon (all Bhikkhus) down to the youngest one: 'May it please the reverend brother to recite the 笔腻迟颈尘辞办办丑补.' He also replied: 'I am not competent, venerable Sirs, to do so.'

They told this thing to the Blessed One.

4, 5. 'When, O Bhikkhus, in a certain residence, &c.^[1]; in that case, O Bhikkhus, these Bhikkhus are instantly to send one Bhikkhu to the neighbouring residence (of Bhikkhus): "Go, friend, and come back when you have learnt the 笔腻迟颈尘辞办办丑补 abridged or in its full extent."'

6. Now the Bhikkhus thought: 'By whom is (this Bhikkhu) to be sent?'

They told this thing to the Blessed One.

鈥淚 prescribe, O Bhikkhus, that the Thera is to give order to a young Bhikkhu.鈥�

The young Bhikkhus, having received that order from the Thera, did not go.

They told this thing to the Blessed One.

鈥淟et no one who has been ordered by the Thera forbear to go, unless he be sick. He who does not go, commits a 诲耻办办补峁璦 辞蹿蹿别苍肠别.鈥�
