[204] Sectarians and Bimbisāra,
may they gather, quietly,
Dhamma, secluded, the Pāṭimokkha
daily at that time, only once.
By grouping, united,
unity and Maddakucchi,
a territory, large, with a river,
on (the premises), two, and small.
New monks, and in Rājagaha,
an area where one is
not apart (from one’s robes);
in authorizing, the territory first;
in revoking, the territory after.
(When) not authorized, the village territory,
in a river, an ocean, a lake,
a water-splashing; they overlapped,
and even subsumed them.
How many? transactions? the recitation,
Savaras, and without (reason),
[1]
Dhamma, Vinaya; they threatened them,
again, Vinaya and threats.
Charging when one has been given leave,
protesting a non-Dhamma (transaction),
four or five, others can voice (an opinion),
[2]
intentionally, or in making an effort.
With lay people, unrequested,
at Codanāvatthu they didn’t know;
several of them didn’t know;
immediately, they didn’t go.
Which day? How many? distant,
to announce it; he didn’t remember to;
dirty, a seat, a lamp,
distant places, another who was learned.
Immediately, the Uposatha during the Rains,
purity, a transaction, relatives,
Gagga, four, three, two, one,
an offense, in common, he remembered it.
The entire Saṅgha, in doubt,
they didn’t know, one who is learned,
more, equal, fewer,
and when the assembly has not gotten up.
Some had gotten up; all had,
they knew; they were in doubt,
“It’s allowable or...” they were anxious,
knowing, seeing, and they heard.
Incomers with residents,
fourth- or fifteenth, and again,
the first day, the fifteenth,
traces, affiliations, both.
A ‘stale’ (giving of purity),
a non-Uposatha day
unless for Saṅgha-unification.
These summaries are analyzed
for clarifying the cases.
