[107] tena kho pana samayena aññataro puriso lakkhaṇāhato katadaṇḍakammo bhikkhūsu pabbajito hoti.	Now at that time a certain man who had been branded/tattooed as punishment had gone forth among the monks.
manussā ujjhāyanti khīyanti vipācenti	People criticized and complained and spread it about,
kathaṁ hi nāma samaṇā sakyaputtiyā lakkhaṇāhataṁ katadaṇḍakammaṁ pabbājessantīti.	“How can the Sakyan-son contemplatives give the Going-forth to one who has been branded/tattooed as punishment?”
bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.	They reported the matter to the Blessed One.
na bhikkhave lakkhaṇāhato katadaṇḍakammo pabbājetabbo yo pabbājeyya āpatti dukkaṭassāti.	“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.”
