[481] "Where was the saṅghādisesa laid down whose condition is charging a bhikkhu with an offense entailing defeat (pārājika), taking some point of a legal issue (adhikaraṇa) belonging to another category as a mere pretext?"
"It was laid down at Rājagaha."
"Concerning whom?"
"Concerning the Mettiya-Bhummajaka bhikkhus."
"On account of what matter?"
"On the matter that the Mettiya-Bhummajaka bhikkhus charged the Venerable Dabba Mallaputta with an offense entailing defeat, taking some point of a legal issue belonging to another category as a mere pretext — on that matter."
There is one laying-down (paññatti). Of the six origins of offenses, it arises through three origins.
