KULLAVAGGA.
VI, 3, 6.
The verandahs were too public; and the Bhikkhus were ashamed to lie down in them to sleep.
'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, an arrangement in form of a curtain that can be drawn aside', or an arrangement in form of a moveable screen 2.'
6. Now at that time the Bhikkhus, when taking their midday meal in the open air, were troubled by cold and heat.
They told this matter to the Blessed One. 'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, a Service Hall.'
The Service Hall had too low a basement (&c., as in V, 11, 6, down to the end).
Now at that time the Bhikkhus spread their robes out on the ground in the open air, and they became dirty.
'I allow, O Bhikkhus, bamboos to hang robes on, and strings to hang robes in, in the open air. 7. The water became warm.
I allow, O Bhikkhus, a water-room and a water- · shed.'
The water-room had too low a basement (&c., as in V, 4, 6, down to the end). There were no vessels for the water.
I allow, O Bhikkhus, chank shells and saucers for the water.'
8. Now at that time the Viharas had no fence round them.
I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to enclose them with
osâretvâ katam khadana-pamukham (B.). At Gâtaka III, 446, it is said of a dying man niharitvâ osârake nipaggâpesum.'
1 Samsarana-kitiko nama kakkala-yutto kitiko (B.). Kakkala should be compared with kakkhalikâ at VI, 2, 2, and kakkhali at VI, 19.
3 Ugghâta na-kitiko, on which Buddhaghosa says nothing.
