[480] "Where was the saṅghādisesa laid down on account of charging a bhikkhu with a groundless case entailing pārājika?" "It was laid down at Rājagaha." "Concerning whom?" "Concerning the bhikkhus Mettiya and Bhummajaka." "On account of what matter?" "On account of the matter that the bhikkhus Mettiya and Bhummajaka charged the Venerable Dabba Mallaputta with a groundless case entailing pārājika." There is one laying-down (paññatti). Of the six origins of offenses, it arises through three origins.
