A. 217. Gautama! Suppose a man takes some wool from a lamb, or hair from an elephant, or some fibre of hemp or cotton, or simply a few sticks of hay, cuts them into two, three or a countable number of pieces, and hurls them into the fire; then, will you agree that these have been cut while they were being cut, hurled when thrown out, and burnt when placed into the fire ?
-Yes, sir, I do.
-And suppose a man takes a piece of cloth, old or new, or just woven, and puts it into a dyeing pan; then, will you agree that the cloth has been picked up while being taken, put into the pan while being so put, and dyed while being: dyed ?
-Yes, sir, I do.
For the same reason do I maintain that a monk or a nun who has the necessary preparation for atonement, etc., is steadfast, and not its reverse.
