1. Now at that time the Blessed One spake in many a figure concerning the Vinaya, speaking in praise of the Vinaya, in praise of learning the Vinaya, and again and again in reference thereto in praise of the venerable Upali. Then said the Bhikkhus: 'The Blessed One speaks (&c., down to) Upåli. Come, let us learn the Vinaya under the venerable U pâli. And many Bhikkhus, senior and junior, and of medium standing, went to learn the
Vinaya under the venerable U pali. The venerable · Upâli taught them standing, out of reverence for the
senior Bhikkhus, and the senior Bhikkhus heard him standing, out of reverence for the law; and thereby both the senior Bhikkhus grew weary, and the venerable Upåli.
They told this matter to the Blessed One.
I allow, O Bhikkhus, a junior Bhikkhu, when giving instruction, to sit on a seat of equal height, or higher, out of reverence for the law; and a senior Bhikkhu, when receiving instruction, to sit on a seat
your right to a lodging there, and by taking one there you ipso facto renounced your right to get one here.
