ghầya: When the upagghầya is gone away, or he has returned to the world, or has died, or is gone over to a (schismatic) faction; the fifth case is that of order (given by the upagghầya to the saddhivihârika"). These, O Bhikkhus, are the five cases of the cessation of a nissaya between (saddhivihårika and) u pagghâya.
