17.
1. Now at that time the Bhikkhus used to bathe anywhere all over the Arâma, and the Arâma became muddy.
They told this matter to the Blessed One. 'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, a pool (at the entrance to the Arâma).'
The pool was public, and the Bhikkhus were ashamed to bathe in it.
'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to surround it with enclosures of three kinds-brick walls, stone walls, and wooden fences ?'
The pool became muddy.
I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to flag it with three kinds of flooring--brick flooring, stone flooring, or wooden flooring.'
The water settled. 'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, a drain.' Now at that time the Bhikkhus' limbs became cold. They told this matter to the Blessed One.
'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to make use of a towel ?, and to wipe the water off with a cloth.'
2. Now at that time a certain Upasaka was desirous of making a tank for the use of the Samgha.
They told this matter to the Blessed One. 'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, a tank.' The sides of the tank fell in 8.
