Atha kho Bhagavā sāyaṇhasamayaṁ paṭisallānā vuṭṭhito,
Then the Gracious One, having risen from seclusion in the evening time,
etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe Bhikkhusaṅghaṁ sannipātāpetvā,
for this cause, for this reason, after assembling the Community of monks,
Dhammiṁ kathaṁ katvā, bhikkhū āmantesi:
and giving them a talk on Dhamma, addressed the monks (saying):
“Idha mayhaṁ bhikkhave rahogatassa paṭisallīnassa
“Here, monks, having gone into solitude, into seclusion,
evaṁ cetaso parivitakko udapādi:
this reflection arose in my mind:
‘Etarahi kho bhikkhū nānādisā nānājanapadā,

“Now you, monks, in whatever district, in whatever state,
pabbājetha upasampādethā”’ ti
may give the going-forth, may give the full ordination”’
Anujānāmi bhikkhave tumhe va dāni tāsu tāsu disāsu tesu tesu janapadesu,
Now I give permission to you, monks, in whatever district, in whatever state,
pabbājetha upasampādetha.
you may give the going-forth, may give the full ordination.
Evañ-ca pana bhikkhave pabbājetabbo upasampādetabbo:
And in this way, monks, you should give the going-forth, should give the full
ordination:
paṭhamaṁ kesamassuṁ ohārāpetvā, kāsāyāni vatthāni acchādāpetvā,
