and also the not-spreading. Rubbing, and washing, and examining, and cutting; Binding, and the hem, and the patch, and strengthening, and the border. The accessories, the lengthening, the softening, the mark, the talk; The doubt, the storing, the relinquishing, not allowable except for those three. Except for more than five, cut and made into a robe; Not except for individuals, properly, one who is within the boundary approves. The Kathina is not spread, thus it was taught by the Buddha; A new, unmade cloth, and one from a shopkeeper. Without a mark, without a talk, without doubt, and without storing; Without relinquishing, when made allowable, and also with a triple robe. In five, or more, when cut and made into a robe; For an individual, properly, one within the boundary approves. Thus the spreading of the Kathina, the eight categories of removal; Departure is the completion, and the determination is the destruction. Hearing, the cutting off of hope, the boundary is the eighth removal; Taking the made robe, he goes, "I will not return." For him, that removal of the Kathina, is the completion of departure; He takes the robe and goes, outside the boundary, he thinks this: "I will make it, I will not return," at the completion, the removal of the Kathina; Taking it outside the boundary, "I will not return," is his intention. For him, that removal of the Kathina, would be the completion of determination; He takes the robe and goes, outside the boundary, he thinks this: "I will make it, I will not return," his making of it is destroyed; For him, that removal of the Kathina, becomes the completion of destruction. He takes it and goes, "I will return," he makes the robe outside; The one who has made the robe hears, the Kathina has been removed there. For him, that removal of the Kathina, becomes Very near the hearing; Having taken, he goes, "I will go back," And makes the robe outside. Having made the robe outside, He declares the kathina removal; For him, that kathina removal Would be beyond the boundary. Having taken, he goes, "I will go back," And makes the robe outside; Having made the robe, "I will go back," The kathina removal arises. For him, that kathina removal Arises together with the bhikkhus; Having taken and having received, There are seven kinds of course. No course near departure, In the six undone; Having taken, "I will make it Gone beyond the boundary," thus it arises. Completion, and determination, And annulment, these are three; Having taken, "I will not go back," "I will make it outside the boundary." Completion, and determination, And annulment, these are three; By what is not determined, it would not be; Below, three methods of guidance. Having taken, he goes, "I will go back," "I will make it outside the boundary"; "I will not go back," he makes, At completion, the kathina removal. Determination and annulment, From transgressing the hearing boundary, Would arise together with the bhikkhus; Thus, fifteen courses. Having undertaken, undone; Having undertaken, again similarly; These are those four turns, All of fifteen kinds. And without hope, and with hope, And those three to be done; By method, one should understand that, Three, twelve, twelve. Not withered, nine here; Comfortable, five kinds there; Hindrances and non-hindrances, The summary is made by method. In this chapter, the cases With twelve repetitions at the beginning, one hundred eighteen. The Kathina Chapter is finished.
