उत्तर २९९-कालासवेसियपुत्त ! गरहा संजमे णो अगरहा संजमे। गरहा वि य णं सव्वं दोसं पविणेति सव्वं बालियं परिणाए। एवं खु णे आया संजमे उवहिते भवति एवं खु णे आया संजमे उवचिए भवति एवं खु णे आया संजमे उठिए भवइ।

Then monk Kālāsavesiya-putra said this to the monks :
Q. 298.Arya ! If thy soul be sāmāyika, and if thy soul be its import,...till thy soul be the import of detachment, then, having given up anger, pride, attachment, greed, why do ye censure them ?
A. 298. Oh Kalasavesiya-putra ! For the sake of restraint.
Q. 299. Bhante ! Is censure restraint ? Is restraint ?
non-censure
A. 299. Kalasavesiya-putra ! Censure is restraint, not noncensure. Censure wipes out all imperfections, all foolishness, through knowledge. Thus our soul is dedicated to restraint, our soul grows in restraint, our soul is fixed in restraint.
