- Buddha silently proceeded and stayed in Bhaddavatikā
- V. Sāgata visited hermitage, meditated, tamed the nāga with abhiññā
- Buddha and disciples went to Kosambī
- locals, impressed, asked Sāgata’s desires
- Chabbaggiyas suggested a rare drink called Kāpotikā
- trusting devotees offered it to Sāgata, who drank and collapsed intoxicated at the city gate
- Buddha saw it, had monks carry him to the monastery, where he disrespectfully turned his feet toward the Buddha
- Buddha questioned the monks: Sāgata had been respectful before, but not now; defeated the nāga then, but couldn’t now; should intoxicants be consumed? monks said no
- Buddha rebuked sāgata and set surāpāna rule
description

The bhikkhus could not recognize their robes. The King’s soldiers criticized monks saying, “How could you, Venerable Sirs, fail to recognize your own robes?”.

- should it be done before or after dyeing?
- who should mark the robe
- either by the monk who owns the robe (the one who received it) or by anyone else (aññena kenaci dinnampi [marked] katakappameva hoti)
- before or after upasampadā?
- nava cīvara here means
- navaṃ nāma akatakappaṃ vuccati ‒ without kappa bindu
- nivāsanūpaga or pārupanūpaga (even an aṃsabaddha kāsāva (shoulder strap))
- note:
- dyeing, wearing, etc. is irrelevant
- a new robe that was already kappa bindu is not nava
- paṭiladdhanavacīvara bhikkhu
- a monk who has received a new robe (comm.: anyone)
- ancient teachers: if a nava cīvara is temporarily obtained to be worn for just a few days, it would still fall under the category of nava cīvara as long as the kappa bindu had not been marked on it
āpatti
- wearing or covering the body with a nava cīvara: pc
anāpatti
- ādiyitvā paribhuñjati: if it is marked
- kappo naṭṭho hoti: if it was erased
- kappakatokāso jiṇṇo hoti: the area where the kappabindu was marked has decayed
- kappakatena akappakataṃ saṃsibbitaṃ hoti: when sewing an unmarked piece of cloth onto a marked one
- vjrbd: some teachers: only if the determination is not lost; assumption: if it is lost (due to cutting the determined robe), a new bindu should be done (but if someone gives away a robe that was bindu, it is not needed to make a new bindu, even though the determination is lost when giving it away ‒ discuss)
- kappakatena saddhiṃ akappakataṃ sibbeti. Yāvatā adhiṭṭhānaṃ na vijahati, tāvatā pubbaṃ kappameva. Kappaṃ na vijahati ce, puna kappaṃ dātabbanti ācariyassa takko. (Vjb ṭ. 330.).
- aggaḷe anuvāte paribhaṇḍe: if the bindu robe receives an aggaḷa, anuvāta or paribhaṇḍa / parivāta
- kkvtrn:
- aggaḷa→a piece of cloth removed from somewhere and attached to the robe
- (piṭṭhi) anuvāta→the border of the long side as it remains on the back (piṭṭhi) after the robe is worn

vikappanasikkhāpadaṃ #edited
background
- The Tathāgata was residing in the Jetavana monastery near the city of Sāvatthi. During this time, Venerable Upananda shared the ownership of a robe with a student (saddhivihārika) of his brother monk and was using it without subjecting it to paccuddharaṇa. That monk with whom Venerable Upananda shared the ownership of his robe, informed this matter to the monks. Those monks informed this matter to the Tathāgata which made him declare the vikappana training rule.

extra notes:
- IIT - Nissayamuttaka Course
- vinalaṅkara opinions:
- vikappanā was given to allow the storage of robes without determination to avoid NP
- after paccuddharaṇa, it becomes again atireka and can be determined; if not, in 10 days, it becomes nissaggiya
- paccuddharaṇa doesn't have to be done immediately
- vassikasāṭika has to be vikappanā during the off season and stored (kamma done with its name); after paccuddharaṇa, it becomes vassikasāṭika
- the upajjhāyavatta shows that monks would wear extra robes
- modern practice: vikappita can be used without determining and falling into offense
- traditional practice: paccudharaṇa is done immediately after vikappanā and the robe remains as vikappita
- paccuddharaṇa immediately or not?
- comm. says vikappitavikappana has to be done immediately
- the vassikasāṭika-related rules seem to show the paccuddharana is done after a longer period because it has to be done before using it on the next season; otherwise, vikappanā would have to be done again before the vassa season
- it is not discussed whether the original owner is able to do the paccuddharaṇa, but seems possible
- things that can be vikappana
- patta
- civara
- vassikasāṭika
- does the limit of 10 pattas under the np also apply to robes?
- the limit is given for pattas, but for robes it is not discussed; some teachers apply the same principle to robes; seems to be right (to be researched) #q🙋🏼♂

background
- The Tathāgata was residing in the Jetavana monastery near the city of Sāvatthi. Sattarasavaggiya monks had the habit of not storing away their requisites. Chabbaggiya monks hid the bowls and robes of the Sattarasavaggiya monks. When the Sattarasavaggiya bhikkhus said, “Friends, please give our bowls and robes back”, the Chabbaggiya monks laughed. Then, the Sattarasavaggiya monks cried. When the matter was informed, the Tathāgata declared the cīvara apanidhāna training rule.
