Evaṁ yo kārako ukkoṭeti, “The original doer: having decided a legal issue together with the Sangha, he goes to the yard where the defeated monks say, ‘Venerable, why did you decide the legal issue in that way? Should it not be decided in this way?’ Saying, ‘Why did you not say this straightaway?’ he reopens that legal issue. In this way, the original doer reopens it.”

  5. At first sight the Pali appears to be a straightforward declarative statement (“a legal issue arising from a dispute is a legal issue arising from an accusation, a legal issue arising from an offense, and a legal issue arising from business”), not a question. Yet this would mean that the next sentence is a direct contradiction to present one. The sub-commentary clears this is up by saying it is meant as a question. Vmv 5.348: Vivādādhikaraṇaṁ hoti anuvādādhikaraṇantiādīsu vivādādhikaraṇameva anuvādādhikaraṇādipi hotīti pucchāya vivādādhikaraṇaṁ vivādādhikaraṇameva hoti, anuvādādayo na hotīti vissajjanaṁ, “About the phrase vivādādhikaraṇaṁ hoti anuvādādhikaraṇan, etc.: to the question whether a legal issue arising from a dispute is also a legal issue arising from an accusation, etc., the reply is that a legal issue arising from a dispute is a legal issue arising from a dispute, not a legal issue arising from an accusation, etc.”

  6. There is a ti at the end of the text, signifying the end of a quote, but it is not all clear where the quote is supposed to begin. It may well be that at some point the whole text was supposed to be quoted. Yet, the way the text is presented now, with interspersed headings, it is natural to start the quote only after the final heading, which is here. In other words, it does not make sense to include the headings within the quotes.

  7. In the Pali, the word āpatti/samāpatti means both “attainment” and “offense”. The Pali is a play on words, which is impossible to replicate in English.
