Second Uddeshak] Penance for taking a bed-spread without permission elsewhere
53. A monk who takes a bed-spread, which is either *padihariyam* [brought from elsewhere] or *sagariyasantiyam* [taken from the place of residence], without permission, or approves of its being taken, incurs a minor monthly penance.
**Explanation:** The term "sagariyasantiyam" is used for the bed-spread that is in the place of residence of the monk, and the term "padihariyam" is used for the bed-spread that is brought from elsewhere. Both of these are returnable.
If the bed-spread, which has been taken from the house where the monk is staying, needs to be taken to another house for some reason, it is necessary to obtain permission from the owner again. The owner of the bed-spread brought from elsewhere also often gives it with the place of residence of the monk in mind, and the owner of the bed-spread also gives it with the expectation of using it in their own house. Therefore, it becomes necessary to obtain permission again.
Taking it elsewhere without permission incurs the fault of *adatta* [non-giving], and there is also the possibility of the owner being angry, criticizing, and the bed-spread being rare, etc. Therefore, it is said to be a minor monthly penance.
In the available original text, there are three sutras in place of this sutra, of which this is the third sutra. It appears that this was a single sutra during the time of the *Bhashya* and *Churnika*. It is as follows:
"No kappi nigganthaan va nigganthiin va padihariyam va sagariyasantiyam va sejjasantharam doccham pi oggaham ananunnavetaa bahiya-niharittae."
Even from this text, it seems appropriate to have only one sutra. Therefore, only one sutra is given in the original. The remaining two sutras are:
Je bhikku padihariyam sejjasantharam ananuvetaa bahim niinei, nonettam va saijjai. 53 ||
Je bhikku sagariyasantiyam sejjasantharam ananunnavetaa bahim niinei, nonettam va saijjai. 54 ||
If there are three sutras, the meaning is as follows: 1. The bed-spread is brought from elsewhere. 2. The bed-spread is taken from the same place. 3. The bed-spread is brought from elsewhere. If these are taken to another house without permission, then a minor monthly penance is incurred.
