KULLAVAGGA,
XII, 3, 9.
1 This legal question, Sir, has been concluded ; and being settled, it is settled once for all. Nevertheless, Sir, do you question me on these ten points in the midst also of the Samgha ?, in order to persuade those Bhikkhus 3.'.
So the venerable Revata questioned the venerable Sabbakâmi on the ten points also in the midst of the Samgha, and as he was questioned on one after the other, the venerable Sabbakâmi gave reply.
9. Now whereas at this rehearsal of the Vinaya seven hundred Bhikkhus, without one more, without one being wanting, took part, therefore is that rehearsal of the Vinaya called 'That of the seven hundred !!!
Here ends the Twelfth Khandhaka, on the
Rehearsal by the Seven Hundred.
1 It is clear from the word tvam âvuso, that Sabbakâmî is here addressing Revata.
. That is not only of the referees, but of all the Bhikkhus there at Vesalf.
9 Bhikkhônam saññattiyâ. See the use of this phrase at Kullavagga IV, 14, 26, and VII, 4, 1, and our note on the latter of those two passages.
* Compare XI, 1, 15.
