Word Analysis

Origin Story

A monk named Hatthaka the Sakyan was prone to lying during debating sessions with members of other sects. Those people complained and his behavior was reported to the Buddha

Permutation-series

Non-offences

The Vibhanga gives two exemptions

  • I.B. Horner translates the first one as "he speaks in jest," jest being the translation of the Pali word davaa. The non-offence clause goes on to say that this means, "he speaks in haste," with haste being the translation of sahasaa. This is commented on further in the comentary to this rule.
  • Horner translates the second as "he speaks in fun." The non-offence clause goes on to explain that this means, "Saying, 'I will speak of this,' he speaks of that," also commented on further in the comentary to this rule.

Horner also notes that this is a rare example of of a non-offence clause having comentarial exegesis. Book of the Discipline, p 170

Factors of Offence

See the commentary to this rule, which extrapolates factors of offence from the actual rule. The Vibhanga itself does not recognize factors of offence for this rule. For more information, see unspecified factors of offence.
