there is some deficiency in hand or leg and such deficiency is objected to, it is a mis-deed. If any concession is given to a person of evil nature, or to a person belonging to another cultural sphere (S. 634), it is a bad nature of the officials.
(b) Regarding objections (S. 635-636)
There is an obstacle for becoming a Bhiksu in the case of the following :-A man with one nail, one who is marked with (unfavourable) bodily marks (samudralekha), one with one of his sides paralysed, one whose head is reduced (lingśiraḥ), one having bush-hair (gulmakeśaḥ), one who is crooked in body either backward, or forward, or both ways, one with six fingers, one with(some) fingers attached to each other (sahita)* and one with no fingers and one with his fingers stuck to each other (saktāngulitvam) (S. 635); one with various types of abnormality in his eyes or ears, one with scabs of various kinds, one with his male organ covered by testicles, a moron, one with no tongue, one with tongue but unable to speak, one with one hand or one leg, or with no hands or legs; one with blue or green hair, one with the head of an elephant, horse, dog, cow, ram, deer, fish, serpent, or with long and many hands, one with blue, yellow, red, or white colour, or one whose neck is like a palm-tree (talaskandha), one with swelling (sula) and divided movements and a stealing robber (dasyu) (S. 636).
(c, d) Permission and Miscellaneous
One with royal permission is allowed to become a bhikṣu; or else who is permitted by an adopted father, or if the parents have left the world and gone into a non-human world in which case no directions could arise from them (S. 640). But there is likelihood of such obstacles being raised, if the parents have passed into non-human beings (S. 640). The murderer of a mother and of others is prohibited from being a Bhiksu. The spoiler of a Bhiksuņi as well as the Bhiksuņi herself become guilty, if they feel relish in their act; but the guilt is not applicable when the mutual relish is not * Mvy. 8905-Sor mo hbyor-ba.
