- Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammā-sambuddhassa -

(Mv.I.45.1) [107] Now at that time a certain man who had been branded/tattooed as punishment had gone forth among the monks. People criticized and complained and spread it about,

“How can the Sakyan-son contemplatives give the Going-forth to one who has been branded/tattooed as punishment?”

They reported the matter to the Blessed One.

“Monks, a man who has been branded/tattooed as punishment should not be given the Going-forth. Whoever should give it: an offense of wrong doing.”
