The third recitation section is finished. The second chapter, Uposatha. 106. Its summary Heretics and Bimbisāra, to assemble silently; the Dhamma in secret, the Pātimokkha, daily, then once. As the assembly united, unity, and Maddakucchi; a large boundary by the river, and two small ones after. Nine in Rājagaha, a boundary not to be left; first approve the boundary, afterwards remove the boundary. An unapproved village boundary, by river, sea, or lake; they break the water-line, and similarly they cover over. How many acts, the recitation, with a voice, and also without; they threaten Dhamma and Vinaya, again, threats to Vinaya. When a charge is made, in a place, rejection of what is not Dhamma; four or five others openly, even if one strives intentionally. With householders, uninvited, he does not know in the charge; many do not know, and they do not go directly. How many, how far away, to inform, and he perishes; dirt, a seat, a lamp, a direction, another learned one. Directly, the Rains Uposatha, and the purification act, relatives; Gagga, four, three, two, one, remembered similar offenses. The whole Saṅgha is in doubt, the learned do not know; many are equal, few, and the assembly not having risen. Some having risen, all, and they know, and are in doubt; "It is proper!" and remorse, knowing, seeing, and hearing. By the resident, the newcomer, again, the fourteenth or fifteenth; the first day or the fifteenth, both sharing the same status. The Uposatha for those on probation, except for the unity of the Saṅgha; these are the divided summaries, because of the distinct matters. In this chapter there are eighty-six matters. The Uposatha chapter is finished.
