1. Now at that time the sleeping-rooms of the Titthiyas were whitewashed, the floors of their rooms were coloured black, and the walls coloured with red chalk^[1]. Much people went to look at their sleeping-rooms.

They told this matter to the Blessed One.

'I allow, O Bhikkhus, the use in your 痴颈丑腻谤补蝉 of whitewash, black colouring, and red colouring.'

Now at that time the whitewash would not lie on to the rough walls.

They told this matter to the Blessed One.

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to apply the husks of grain made up into little balls; and when you have thus removed the unevenness with your hands^[2], to lay on the whitewash.'

The whitewash would not adhere.

They told this matter to the Blessed One.

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to apply soft clay; and when you have thus removed the unevenness with your hands^[2], to lay on the whitewash.'

(Still) the whitewash would not adhere.

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, the use of slime^[3] (of trees) or of paste^[4].' Now at that time the colouring matter of red chalk would not lie on the rough walls.

They told this matter to the Blessed One.

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to apply the husks of grain made up into little balls; and when you have thus removed the unevenness with your hands, to lay on the colouring matter of red chalk.'

The red colour would not adhere.

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to apply clay mixed with the red powder which adheres to the grain of rice under the husks^[5]; and when you have so taken off the unevenness with your hands to lay on the red colouring matter.'

Still the red colouring matter would not adhere.

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, the use of a paste made of mustard seed^[6], and of oil of beeswax^[7].'

It lay on the wall too thickly in great drops^[8].

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to wipe it down with a cloth^[9].'

Now at that time the black colouring matter did not lie on the rough ground.

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to apply husks of grain made up into little balls; and when you have thus removed the unevenness with your hands, to lay on the black colouring matter.'

The black colouring matter would not adhere.

They told this matter to the Blessed One.

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to apply clay mixed with (the excrement of) earth-worms^[10]; and when you have thus removed the unevenness with your hands, to lay on the black colouring matter.'

Still the black colouring matter would not adhere.

They told this matter to the Blessed One.

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, the use of slime and astringent liquid^[11].'

2. Now at that time the Chabbaggiya Bhikkhus had imaginative drawings^[12] painted on their 痴颈丑腻谤补蝉鈥攆igures of men, and figures of women.

People, when they saw them on going to visit the 痴颈丑腻谤补蝉; murmured, &c., saying, 'Like those who still enjoy the pleasures of the world.'

They told this matter to the Blessed One.

'You are not, O Bhikkhus, to have imaginative drawings painted figures of men, and figures of women. Whosoever does so, shall be guilty of a 诲耻办办补峁璦. I allow you, O Bhikkhus, representations of wreaths and creepers and bone hooks and cupboards^[13].'

3. Now at that time the 痴颈丑腻谤补蝉 had too low a basement (&c., as in V, 11, 6 as to roofing, stairs, and balustrade).

Now at that time the 痴颈丑腻谤补蝉 were crowded with people^[14]. The Bhikkhus were ashamed to lie down to sleep.

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, the use of curtains.'

They lifted up the curtains and looked in.

They told this matter to the Blessed One.

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to put up a lath and plaster wall half the height of the 痴颈丑腻谤补.'

They looked on from over this half-wall.

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to make inner chambers of three kinds鈥攃hambers in shape like a palankeen^[15], chambers in shape like a quart measure^[16], and chambers on an upper storey^[17].' Now at that time the Bhikkhus made inner chambers in the middle of small 痴颈丑腻谤补蝉, and there was no room to move about in.

They told this matter to the Blessed One.

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to make the inner chambers at one side of small 痴颈丑腻谤补蝉, and in the middle of large ones^[18].'

4. Now at that time the lower part of the lath and plaster wall of the 痴颈丑腻谤补 decayed.

They told this matter to the Blessed One.

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, buttresses of timber^[19].'

Rain leaked through on to the lath and plaster wall of the 痴颈丑腻谤补^[20].

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, a protecting arrangement^[21] and cement^[22].'

Now at that time a snake fell from the roof on to the back of a certain Bhikkhu. He was terrified, and made an outcry^[23]. The Bhikkhus, running up, said to that Bhikkhu: 'Why, Sir, do you make an outcry?' Then that Bhikkhu told the matter to the Bhikkhus, and they told the matter to the Blessed One.

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, a ceiling-cloth.'

5. Now at that time the Bhikkhus hung their bags at the feet of the bedsteads, and at the feet of the chairs; and they were gnawed by the mice and white ants.

They told this matter to the Blessed One.

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, pins in the wall, and bone hooks^[24].'

Now at that time the Bhikkhus laid aside their robes on the bedsteads and on the chairs, and the robes were torn.

They told this matter to the Blessed One.

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, bamboos to hang your robes on, and strings to hang your robes on^[25].'

Now at that time the 痴颈丑腻谤补蝉 had no verandahs, and no defences^[26].

They told this matter to the Blessed One.

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, verandahs^[27], covered terraces^[28], inner verandahs^[29], and over-hanging eaves^[30].' The verandahs were. too public; and the Bhikkhus were ashamed to lie down in them to sleep.

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, an arrangement in form of a curtain that can be drawn aside^[31], or an arrangement in form of a moveable screen^[32].'

6. Now at that time the Bhikkhus, when taking their midday meal in the open air, were troubled by cold and heat.

They told this matter to the Blessed One.

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, a Service Hall.'

The Service Hall had too low a basement (&c., as in V, 11, 6, down to the end).

Now at that time the Bhikkhus spread their robes out on the ground in the open air, and they became dirty.

'I allow, O Bhikkhus, bamboos to hang robes on, and strings to hang robes in, in the open air.

7. The water became warm.

'I allow, O Bhikkhus, a water-room and a water-shed.'

The water-room had too low a basement (&c., as in V, 11, 6, down to the end).

There were no vessels for the water.

'I allow, O Bhikkhus, chank shells and saucers for the water.'

8. Now at that time the 痴颈丑腻谤补蝉 had no fence round them.

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to enclose them with ramparts (笔腻办腻谤补) of three kinds鈥攂rick walls, stone walls, and wooden fences.'

There was no store-room^[33].

'I allow, O Bhikkhus, a store-room.'

The store-room had too low a basement, and it was flooded with water.

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to make it with a high basement.'

The store-room had no door.

'I allow, O Bhikkhus, a door; with door-posts and lintel, with hollows like a mortar for the door to revolve in, with projections to revolve in those hollows, with rings on the door for the bolt to work along in, with a block of wood fixed into the edge of the door-post, and containing a cavity for the bolt to go into (called the Monkey's Head), with a pin to secure the bolt by, with a connecting bolt, with a key-hole, with a hole for a string with which the door may be closed, and with a string for that purpose^[34].'

Grass and plaster fell from the store-room.

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus (&c., as in V, 14, 4. down to the end of V, 14, 5, as to roofing, flooring, drains, &c.).'

9. Now at that time the Bhikkhus made fire-places here and there in the 笔补谤颈惫别峁嘺, and the 笔补谤颈惫别峁嘺 was covered with the remains of the fires^[35]. They told this matter to the Blessed One.

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to make a separate room for the fire at one side.'

The fire-room had too low a basement (&c., as in V, 11, 6, as to flooring, stairs, and balustrade, followed by the paragraph as to the door, and the facing, as in V, 14, 3, &c.).

10. Now at that time the 膧谤腻尘补蝉 had no fences to them, and goats and cattle injured the plantations^[36].

They told this matter to the Blessed One.

'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to surround them with fencing of three kinds鈥攂amboo fences, thorn fences, and ditches.'

There was no gateway (k o t l h a k a), and goats and cattle, even so, injured the plantations.

'I allow, O Bhikkhus, a gateway, with gates made of stakes interlaced with thorny brakes^[37], with fences (across the gateway) made of the akka plant^[38], with ornamental screen-work over the gateway^[39], and with bars.'

[Then the paragraphs allowing the roofing, &c., of this 办辞峁�峁�丑补办补 as in V, 11, 6, and drains for the 膧谤腻尘补, as in V, 14, 3.]

11. Now at that time Seniya 叠颈尘产颈蝉腻谤补, the king of Magadha, wanted to build a 辫腻蝉腻诲补^[40] (residence), covered with cement and clay, for the use of the 厂补峁僩丑补. And it occurred to the Bhikkhus, 'What kind of roof now has been allowed by the Blessed One, and what kind of roof has not been allowed?'

They told this matter to the Blessed One.

'I allow, O Bhikkhus, roofing of five kinds鈥攂rick roofing, stone roofing, cement roofing, straw roofing, and roofing of leaves.'

See V, 11, 6, where all these words recur.

[2]:

P膩峁噄k膩ya. Buddhaghosa says nothing.

[3]:

Ikk膩sa, on which we have nothing to add to Buddhaghosa's note at p. 321 of the edition of the text. It recurs below again in this section.

[4]:

Pi峁�峁環a-maddan ti pi峁�峁環a-khala峁� (B.). Compare the Sanskrit m峁沝.

[5]:

Ku峁囜笉aka-mattikan ti ku峁囜笉aka-missaka-mattika峁� (B.). Compare ku峁囜笉aka-p奴vam in the J膩taka Commentary I, 423 (cakes made of flour mixed with this powder).

[6]:

S膩sapa-ku峁�峁璦n ti s膩sapa-pi峁�峁環am. The word has occurred already at Mah膩vagga VI, 14, 5, where the reading is ku峁�峁璦 instead of ku岣嶀笉a given in the text here. The latter should be altered in accordance with that passage, and with Buddhaghosa here.

[7]:

Sittha-telakan ti vil墨na-madhu-sitthaka峁� (B.). It is mentioned as used for hair-oil at Cullavagga V, 2, 3.

[8]:

Accussanna峁� hot墨 ti bindu峁� bindu峁� hutv膩 ti峁�峁環ati, says Buddhaghosa.

[9]:

Colakena paccuddharitu峁�. Buddhaghosa says paccuttharitun ti mu帽citu峁�; but compare for the right form V, 17, 1.

Ga峁囜笉u-mattikan ti ga峁囜笉upp膩da-g奴tha-mattika峁� (B.).

[11]:

Kas膩van ti 膩malaka-hari峁璦k膩na峁� kas膩va峁� (B.). Compare Mah膩vagga VI, 4.

[12]:

Pa峁璱bh膩na-citta峁�. The Bhikkhun墨s were forbidden by the 41st P膩cittiya of the Bhikkhun墨-vibha峁単a to go and see such paintings. (Sutta-vibha峁単a II, 298, where a picture gallery, Citt膩g膩ra, belonging to King Pasenadi of Kosala, is mentioned.) We. are not quite sure of the connotation of the term, which appears to imply some reproach. Perhaps it means 'suggestive.' Figures as such were not forbidden; and remains of statues and bas reliefs erected in the 痴颈丑腻谤补蝉, illustrative of every-day life, have been found in great numbers. In the introductory story to the 26th P膩cittiya it certainly means 'indecent.'

[13]:

All these words occur above at V, 11, 6, and V, 14, 4. The meaning of the two last is very doubtful. Perhaps it is intended that these should occupy the space on the walls instead of any ornamentation.

[14]:

膧lakamand膩, literally, 'like Kuvera's city in heaven.' Buddhaghosa tells us why. 膧lakamand膩 ti eka峁単an膩 manuss膩bhiki峁囜箛膩. 膧ki峁囜箛a-yakkh膩, corresponding to this last word, recurs in the standing description of 膧lakamand膩 at Mah膩-parinibb膩na Sutta V, 43 = Mah膩 Sudassana Sutta I, 3. The name of the city is spelt in both those passages with 岣� not l.

[15]:

Sivik膩-gabbho ti caturassa-gahbho says Buddhaghosa.

[16]:

N膩岣穒k膩-gabbho ti vitth膩rato dvigu峁嘺-tigu峁�-膩y膩mo d墨gha-gabbho (B.). That na岣穒k膩 is used like n膩岣穒 for a bushel measure follows from a comparison of J膩taka 1,124, last lines, with I, 126, line 3.

[17]:

Hammiya-gahbho ti 膩k膩sa-tale ku峁�膩g膩ra-gabbho muda峁囜笉a-cchadana-gabbho v膩 (B.). Compare our note on Mah膩vagga I, 30, 4.

[18]:

There is a similar injunction at V, 14, 3, with respect to fire-places in bath-rooms.

[19]:

Kula峁卥a-p膩daka峁�. See Buddhaghosa's note at p. 321 of the edition of the text. The remedy here is different from that provided in the similar case, at V, 14, 3, with respect to bath-houses.

[20]:

On the use of ovassati compare V, 16, 1, and VIII, 3, 3.

[21]:

Paritt膩na-ki峁璱kan ti tassa paritt膩nattha峁� ki峁璱ka峁� is all that Buddhaghosa says. Compare the end of § 5.

[22]:

Uddha-sudhan ti vacchaka-gomayena ca charik膩ya ca saddhi峁� maddita-mattika峁� (B.).

[23]:

Vissara峁� ak膩si. See the note on Cullavagga VIII, I, where the whole incident is similar.

[24]:

The use of these has been already referred to at V, 9. 5.

[25]:

These have already been allowed in Cullavagga V, It, 6, and V, 14, 3. The license under the present rule extends only to their use in 痴颈丑腻谤补蝉.

[26]:

Apa峁璱ssaran膩, which must have some special, technical, meaning unknown to us. Buddhaghosa says nothing.

[27]:

膧lindo n膩ma pamukha峁� vuccati (B.). Compare Abhidh膩na-ppad墨pik膩, verse 218.

[28]:

Paghana峁� n膩ma ya峁� nikkhamant膩 ca pavisant膩 ca p膩dehi hananti. Tassa vih膩ra-dv膩re ubhato ku峁�峁璦峁� (?) niharitv膩 katapadesass鈥� eta峁� adhivacana峁�. Pagh膩nan ti pi vuccati (B.).

[29]:

Paku峁�峁璦n ti majjhe gabbhassa samant膩 pariy膩g膩ro vuccati. Paku峁璦n ti pi p膩峁環o (B.).

[30]:

Osarako ti an膩岣穒ndake vih膩re va峁僺a峁� datv膩 tato da峁囜笉ake os膩retv膩 kata峁� chadana-pamukha峁� (B.). At J膩taka III, 446, it is said of a dying man 'niharitv膩 os膩rake nipajj膩pesu峁�.'

[31]:

Sa峁僺ara峁嘺-ki峁璱ko n膩ma cakkala-yutto ki峁璱ko (B.). Cakkala should be compared with cakkhalik膩 at VI, 2, 2, and cakkhali at VI, 19.

[32]:

Uggh膩峁璦na-ki峁璱ko, on which Buddhaghosa says nothing.

[33]:

Ko峁�峁環aka. See our note above on V, J4, 4, as to the various allied meanings of this word. Perhaps 'gateway' should be chosen as the rendering here, as it clearly must be in the closely allied passage in the next section but one (§ 10). As the chamber supposed always to be built over the gateway could be used as a store-room, the difference is not very essential.

[34]:

The whole as above in V, 14, 3, where see the note.

[35]:

Ukl膩po. On this use of the word compare Cullavagga VIII. 1, 3.

[36]:

Uparope. Compare Uparopaka at J膩taka II, 345.

[37]:

Apesiyam. See p. 321 of the edition of the text, reading of course ka峁囜弓haka.

[38]:

Akkav膩峁璦, on which Buddhaghosa says nothing. A kind of dress made from the stalks of the akka plant is mentioned in Mah膩vagga VIII, 28, 2.

[39]:

Tosa峁嘺, which is the ornamental erection over a gateway of which such excellent examples in stone have been found at the S膩nchi and Bharhut Topes.

[40]:

The exact meaning of the word P膩s膩da at the time when this book was written has not yet been precisely ascertained. In later times it meant a building of several storeys, each successive storey being smaller in superficial area than the one immediately beneath it. Compare the Mah膩-loha-辫腻蝉腻诲补 so often mentioned in the Mah膩va峁僺a (pp. 161-257), the stone pillars of the lowest stories of which are still one of the sights of Anur膩dhapura.
