26: The Chapter about Brahmins – 324<br />

Restraint in three ways<br />

After Ven. Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī was ordained by the<br />

acceptance of the eight serious rules, the other nuns were<br />

ordained by the monks; later they were in doubt about her<br />

ordination and reported the matter to the Buddha who<br />

confirmed her ordination, and rebuked the nuns with this<br />

verse.<br />

391. Yassa kāyena vācāya manasā natthi dukkataṁ,<br />

saṁvutaṁ tīhi ṭhānehi, tam-ahaṁ brūmi brāhmaṇaṁ.<br />

For whom there is no wrong-doing<br />

by body, by voice or by mind,<br />

being restrained in these three things,<br />

that one I say is a brahmin.
