[355] "Furthermore, Moggallāna, here some teacher, being impure in his exposition (veyyākaraṇa), claims, 'I am pure in exposition,' and, 'My exposition is pure, bright, undefiled.' His disciples know of him thus: 'This worthy teacher, being impure in exposition, claims, "I am pure in exposition," and, "My exposition is pure, bright, undefiled." Now if we were to inform the householders, it would not be agreeable to him; and how could we treat him with what is not agreeable to him? Moreover, he signifies his consent by means of robes, almsfood, lodgings, and medicinal requisites for the sick; whatever he himself does, by that he himself will be known.' Such a teacher, Moggallāna, the disciples protect with respect to his exposition, and such a teacher expects protection from his disciples with respect to his exposition."
