Its summary— On the Uposatha, as long as, the wicked monk did not leave; Expelled by Moggallāna, wonders in the Buddha’s Dispensation. Gradual training and, the established Dhamma is not transgressed; The Saṅgha throws out the corpse, and the rivers abandon. They flow and attain Nibbāna, and liberation is of one taste; Much Dhamma and Vinaya, and truly worthy persons. Making the ocean an analogy, he recited [established] the virtue in the Dispensation; On the Uposatha, the Pātimokkha, no one knows us.

Transgression of morality and conduct, transgression of views and livelihood; And the eight in what is done and not done, therefore these are of morality, conduct, and views. In what is not done and what is done, and in what is done and not done; Thus nine kinds are stated, known according to reality.

For one admonished by the Dhamma-admonisher, Remorse is dispelled; Compassion, sympathetic to welfare, From the foremost position of exertion. The practice of the admonisher, Was declared by the Fully Enlightened One; In truth and unshakeable, Such is the nature of the admonished. The chapter on the suspension of the Pātimokkha is concluded.
