[777] **"Whoever" (yo pana):** whoever, of whatever sort … . **"Bhikkhu":** … this is the bhikkhu intended in this sense. **"The measure of a Sugata robe" (sugatacīvarappamāṇa)** means: nine spans (vidatthi) in length by the Sugata span, six spans in width. **"Should have it made" (kārāpeyya):** whether he makes it himself or has it made by another, in the act itself there is an offence of wrong-doing (dukkaṭa); with the acquisition [of the finished robe], having cut it down, the offence entailing confession (pācittiya) should be confessed. ¹ [Editorial note in the Siamese edition:] The Burmese (M.) and European (Yu.) editions read *upagate jānitvā*.
