The Discussion of the Prohibition against Nakedness [BMC]

[168] tena kho pana samayena aññataro bhikkhu naggo hutvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ etadavoca	Now on that occasion a certain monk, being naked, went to the Blessed One and, on arrival, said to him,
bhagavā bhante anekapariyāyena appicchassa santuṭṭhassa sallekhassa dhūtassa pāsādikassa apacayassa viriyārambhassa vaṇṇavādī	“Lord, the Blessed One is one who speaks in many ways in praise of modesty, contentment, austerity, polishing away (defilements), confidence, shedding, and activated persistence.
idaṁ bhante naggiyaṁ anekapariyāyena appicchatāya santuṭṭhatāya sallekhāya dhūtattāya pāsādikatāya apacayāya viriyārambhāya saṁvattati	“Now, nakedness leads in many ways to modesty, contentment, austerity, polishing away (defilements), confidence, shedding, and activated persistence.
sādhu bhante bhagavā bhikkhūnaṁ naggiyaṁ anujānātūti.	“It would be good, lord, if the Blessed One would allow nakedness for the monks.”
Vigarahi buddho bhagavā ananucchavikaṁ moghapurisa .pe.	The Buddha, the Blessed One, rebuked him, “Worthless man, it is unseemly, …
Kathaṁ hi nāma tvaṁ moghapurisa naggiyaṁ titthiyasamādānaṁ samādiyissasi netaṁ moghapurisa appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya .pe.	“Worthless man, how can you follow nakedness, a sectarian observance? Worthless man, this neither inspires faith in the faithless …”
Vigarahitvā dhammiṁ kathaṁ katvā bhikkhū āmantesi	Having rebuked him and given a Dhamma talk, he addressed the monks:
na bhikkhave Naggiyaṁ titthiyasamādānaṁ samādiyitabbaṁ yo samādiyeyya āpatti thullaccayassāti.	“Monks, nakedness, a sectarian observance, should not be followed. Whoever should follow it: a thullaccaya offense.”
