Vinaya Texts, Part III: The Kullavagga IV-XII (Sacred Books of the East, Vol. 20) JTULLAVAGGA. / XI, X, 6. / ON THE COUNCIL OF RAGAGAHA. / JSTULLAVAGGA.; lines 17817-17864 confidence: medium
Ananda tells AYzanna/Af/lanna that the Sawgha has imposed the higher penalty: he may speak to Bhikkhus, but they are not to speak to, exhort, or admonish him.
