[115] A bhikkhu who has taken part in the spreading of the kathina (atthatakaṭhina) departs in expectation of robe-cloth, without having made a determination: it neither occurs to him, "I shall return," nor does it occur to him, "I shall not return." Having gone outside the boundary (sīmā), he pursues that expectation of robe-cloth; he obtains cloth he had not expected, but does not obtain what he had expected. He thinks thus: "I shall have this robe made right here; I shall not return." He has that robe made. For that bhikkhu the removal of the kathina (kaṭhinuddhāra) is determined by the finishing of the robe (niṭṭhānantika).
