Strictly speaking he stands outside the gana (comp. Vav. 2, 6), and he joins the others neither in their obligatory rounds nor in their travelling (Āyāı. II 50, 7=Nis. 2,40-42; Nis 4,112). If several monks of a closer companionship have committed an offence and, hence, are under , always one of them is except from it and considered kappāga (= kappa-tthaya, § 136), to be served by the others He will atone for his guilt (nivvisar)1 after them (Vav. 2, 1-4).
