[120] A bhikkhu who has spread the kathina (kaṭhina) departs on some business, thinking, "I shall not return." While he is outside the boundary (sīmā), an expectation of robe-cloth arises for him. He pursues that expectation of robe-cloth: he obtains it where he had no expectation; where he had expectation, he does not obtain it. He thinks thus: "I shall have this robe made right here." He has that robe made. For that bhikkhu, the removal of the kathina (kaṭhinuddhāra) is determined by the completion of the robe.
