Sthaviras :-0 Worthy Men I According to our do.trine what is being given, is given, what is being received is received, and what is being removed, is set free. If any one takes away any article after it leaves the hands of the donor, the article lost is ours and not the house-holder's. We cannot, therefore; be proved to be taking, etc. anything that is not given by the donor, by any line of argumentation. But, O Worthy Men ! You can be proved to be a-samyata (un-restrained), a-virata (vow-less', and bala (ignorant) trividha (in past, present, and future) and trividhéna (by mind, speech, and body).
Other Paiths :-Why ? How are we called a-samyata (un-restrained), a-virata (vow-less), and bāla (ignorant)?
Sthaviras :-Simply because your take what is not given by the donor
Other Faiths :-On what proof do you say that we are a. datta grāhi (one who takes an article not given by its donor)?
Sthaviras :-0 Worthy Men ! According to your doctrine, what is being given is a-datta (not given), what is being recei. ved, is not received, and what is being removed, is not set free.
