In the most excellent Mahāthūpa he offered a very costly jewel. Having built a palace covered with iron and offered to it that most excellent jewel, the chief of men gave (to that palace) the name “Maṇipāsāda” (“palace of the gem”). Having constructed the Pācīnatissapabbata Ārāma, the ruler of men called Tissa gave it to fraternity of Bhikkhus. The ruler of the earth, the chief of men, having ordered the Ālambagāma pond to be dug, held festivals (there) during eight years. This king reigned ten years over Tambapaṇṇi. 66. Jeṭṭhatissaccaye tassa Mahāseno kaniṭṭhako sattavīsati vassāni rājā rajjaṁ akārayi. | 66. After Jeṭṭhatissa’s death his younger brother, king Mahāsena, reigned twenty-seven years. 67. tadā so rājā cintesi sāsane dvīsu bhikkhusu ke dhammavādino bhikkhū ke ca adhammavādino, ke lajjī ke alajjino? | 67. This king once thought thus: “There are two kinds of Bhikkhus in the Religion (of Buddha); which of them hold the right doctrine and which hold the wrong doctrine, which are modest and which are shameless?” 68. vīcinetvā imaṁ atthaṁ gavesanto lajjipuggale addasa pāpake bhikkhū assamaṇe paṭirūpake. 716 | 68. When thinking about this matter and searching after modest persons, he saw wicked Bhikkhus who were no (true) Samaṇas and (only) looked like (Samaṇas). 715 As to “gaṇhāpetvā” (or, “khanāpetvā?”) comp. 20, 34. 35. 716 vicintetvā A B G2, viriyetvā F, vicinetvā G1 Z n. vicinitvā? – paṭirūpapake (sic) N, [pa]ṇāpaṭidūsake [“pa” is expunged] F, pake G1, pāpake A B G2, pāpakāmike Z.
The Chonicle of the Island - 264 69. pūtikunapasadise vattaṁ va nīlamakkhike asante assamaṇake addasa paṭirūpake 717 | 69. He saw people who were like stinking corpses, and in behaviour like blue flies, wicked persons, who were no (true) Samaṇas and (only) looked like (Samaṇas), – 70. Dummittaṁ Pāpasoṇaṁ ca aññe ca alajjipuggale; upento pāpake bhikkhū atthaṁ dhammañ ca pucchi so. | 70. Dummitta and Pāpasoṇa and other shameless men. He went to those wicked Bhikkhus and asked them about the sense (of the Religion) and the doctrine. 71. Dummitto Pāpasoṇo ca aññe ca alajjipuggalā rahogatā mantayanti dūsanatthāya subbate. | 71. Dummitta and Pāpasoṇa and other shameless men secretly consulted in order to mislead the pious (king). 72. ubhosamaggabhāvissaṁ anuññātaṁ Kumārakassape akappiyan ti dīpesuṁ dussīlā mohapārutā. 718 | 72. These wicked, infatuated men taught that (computing) the twenty years (required for) the Upasampadā ordination from the conception, which has been admitted (by Buddha) in (the story about) Kumārakassapa, 719 is not allowable. 717 vattaṁ va Y, vattava N, cattaṁ ca F. 718 ubhosamaggabhāviyaṁ N, ubhosamagga bhāvissaṁ F, ubhosamaggaṁ vibhavissaṁ “kumārakassapavatthumhi (Mahāvagga, I, 75) anuññātaṁ gabbhamāsena paripuṇṇavīsativassūpasampadam pi na vaṭṭatīti.” I therefore conjecture: upasampadaṁ gabbhavīsaṁ (or: vīse). 719 Mahāvagga, I, 75.
