The brethren say to the pretended offender, 'You have committed an offence, friend; atone for that offence'--which he refuses to do. 274:2 As above; the Bhikkhus institute the ukkhepaniyakamma pâpikâya ditthiyâ appatinissagge (expulsion for a Bhikkhu's refusal to renounce a false doctrine). 275:1 As in § 2, the first and second of the three cases given in § 1 are combined, so follow now combinations of the first and third, the second and third, and of the first, second, and third cases respectively. 275:2 Here follow again the cases of the ukkhepaniyakamma âpattiyâ appatinissagge and pâpikâya ditthiyâ appatinissagge, and the combinations of the three cases as above. 275:3 Here follow the two other cases, together with the combinations of the three, exactly as above.
