________________ 412 KULLAVAGGA. XII, 2, 8. 'Is it allowable, Lord, for one who has once finished his meal, and has refused any more, to drink milk not left over from the meal, on the ground that it has left the condition of milk and has not yet reached the condition of curds ?' 'No, Sir, it is not allowable.' Where was such a claim rejected ?' *At Sâvatthi, in the Sutta Vibhanga. Of what offence is he, who does so, guilty ?' Of Pâkittiya, in eating food which has not been left over! 'Let the venerable Samgha hear me. This seventh point, having been examined into by the Samgha, has been found to be false Dhamma and false Vinaya, and not contained in the teaching of the Master. Thus do I cast this seventh vote.' 'Is it allowable, Lord, to drink toddy?' • What, Sir, is this toddy?' "Is it allowable, Lord, to drink spirits which have not yet become spirits and have not yet acquired intoxicating properties?' “No, Sir, it is not allowable.' Where was it rejected ?' "At Kosambi, in the Sutta Vibhanga. Of what offence is he, who does so, guilty?' Of Pakittiya, in the drinking of fermented liquors and strong drink? 'Let the venerable Samgha hear me. The eighth point, having been examined into by the Samgha, has been found to be false Dhamma and false Vinaya, and not contained in the teaching of the Master. Thus do I cast this eighth vote.' Pâkittiya XXXV. Pâkittiya LI. Digitized by Digilzed by Google
