Tena kho pana samayena aññataraṁ bhikkhuṁ tadahuposathe ñātakā gaṇhiṁsu. Bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ. “Idha pana, bhikkhave, bhikkhuṁ tadahuposathe ñātakā gaṇhanti. Te ñātakā bhikkhūhi evamassu vacanīyā— ‘iṅgha tumhe āyasmanto imaṁ bhikkhuṁ muhuttaṁ muñcatha, yāvāyaṁ bhikkhu uposathaṁ karotī’ti. Evañcetaṁ labhetha, iccetaṁ kusalaṁ. No ce labhetha, te ñātakā bhikkhūhi evamassu vacanīyā— ‘iṅgha tumhe āyasmanto muhuttaṁ ekamantaṁ hotha, yāvāyaṁ bhikkhu pārisuddhiṁ detī’ti. Evañcetaṁ labhetha, iccetaṁ kusalaṁ. No ce labhetha, te ñātakā bhikkhūhi evamassu vacanīyā— ‘iṅgha tumhe āyasmanto imaṁ bhikkhuṁ muhuttaṁ nissīmaṁ netha, yāva saṅgho uposathaṁ karotī’ti. Evañcetaṁ labhetha, iccetaṁ kusalaṁ.
