At that time, Venerable Udāyī was staying in the forest. The Venerable’s dwelling was beautiful, pleasing, and charming. At that time, many women came to the monastery, wishing to see the dwelling. Then those women approached Venerable Udāyī; having approached, they said to Venerable Udāyī: “We wish, venerable sir, to see the Venerable’s dwelling.” Then Venerable Udāyī, having shown those women the dwelling, pointing to the women’s anus and urethra, spoke praise and dispraise, begged and implored, questioned and cross-questioned, explained and advised, and insulted. Those women who were loose, mischievous, and shameless, laughed with, chatted with, giggled with, and mocked Venerable Udāyī. But those women who were modest, having left, complained to the monks: “This, venerable sirs, is not suitable, not proper. We would not wish to be spoken to like this even by our husbands, how much less by Venerable Udāyī!” Those monks who were of few wishes… they complained, grumbled, and criticized: “How can Venerable Udāyī speak corruptly to women… with rude words.” Then those bhikkhus, having rebuked Venerable Udāyī in various ways, reported this matter to the Blessed One.

How can you, foolish man, address women with rude words! Have I not, foolish man, taught the Dhamma in various ways for dispassion, not for passion… (as before) … the appeasement of the fever of sensual pleasures has been declared.
