ON EXCLUSION FROM THE PATIMOKKHA.

about that repentance shall not be brought home to a Bhikkhu who has been wrongfully warned?'
'In five ways, Upâli, (that is to say, by saying to him): "At the wrong time, Sir, were you warned, and not at the right time: there is no need of repentance," [&c., as in § 3, paragraph 2, with similar alterations.]
5. In how many ways, Lord, is the contrary of repentance to be brought home to a Bhikkhu who has rightfully warned another Bhikkhu?'
[The answer is the exact contrary of § 3.] 6. [This section is the contrary of § 5.]
7. 'When, Lord, a Bhikkhu who warns another Bhikkhu, is about to do so, how many things should he call to mind before he does so ?'
'Five things, Upâli-to wit: mercy, seeking the good of others, compassion, the giving up of offences, and deference towards the Vinaya. These are the five,' &c.
'And a Bhikkhu, Lord, who is warned, in how many qualities should he keep himself firm?'
'In two things, Upâli-to wit: in truth and in freedom from anger.'
Here ends the Ninth Khandhaka, on the Interdiction of the Pâtimokkha.
