[1148] "Does the Saṅgha spread the kaṭhina? Does a group spread the kaṭhina? Does an individual spread the kaṭhina?"
"The Saṅgha does not spread the kaṭhina; a group does not spread the kaṭhina; an individual spreads the kaṭhina."
"If the Saṅgha does not spread the kaṭhina, a group does not spread the kaṭhina, and an individual spreads the kaṭhina, then the kaṭhina is unspread for the Saṅgha, the kaṭhina is unspread for the group, and the kaṭhina is spread for the individual."
"Does the Saṅgha recite the Pātimokkha? Does a group recite the Pātimokkha? Does an individual recite the Pātimokkha?"
"The Saṅgha does not recite the Pātimokkha; a group does not recite the Pātimokkha; an individual recites the Pātimokkha."
"If the Saṅgha does not recite the Pātimokkha, a group does not recite the Pātimokkha, and an individual recites the Pātimokkha, then the Pātimokkha is unrecited for the Saṅgha, the Pātimokkha is unrecited for the group, and the Pātimokkha is recited for the individual. Yet through the concord of the Saṅgha, through the concord of the group, and through the recitation by the individual, the Pātimokkha is recited for the Saṅgha, the Pātimokkha is recited for the group, and the Pātimokkha is recited for the individual. In just the same way, the Saṅgha does not spread the kaṭhina, a group does not spread the kaṭhina, and an individual spreads the kaṭhina; yet through the approval (anumodanā) of the Saṅgha, through the approval of the group, and through the spreading by the individual, the kaṭhina is spread for the Saṅgha, the kaṭhina is spread for the group, and the kaṭhina is spread for the individual."
