Seven on bringing

^Kd.7.2.1 “A monk, after kaṭhina-cloth has been made, taking a robe that is made up,^[1] goes away, thinking: “I will not come back”. That monk’s kaṭhina (privileges) are removed because of his going away.^[2]A monk, after kaṭhina-cloth has been made, taking robe-material^[3] goes away. When he has gone outside the boundary,^[4] it occurs to him,^[5] “I will get this robe-material made up here, I will not come back”, and he gets that robe-material made up. That monk’s kaṭhina (privileges) are removed because of (his robes) being settled.

^BD.4.359 A monk, after kaṭhina-cloth has been made, taking robe-material, goes away. When he has gone outside the boundary it occurs to him: “I will not get this robe-material made up nor will I come back”. That monk’s kaṭhina (privileges) are removed because of his resolves.^[6]

A monk, after kaṭhina-cloth has been made, taking robe-material, goes away. When he has gone outside the boundary it occurs to him: “I will get this robe-material made up here, I will not come back”, and he gets that robe-material made up, but while that robe-material is being made up, it is lost. That monk’s kaṭhina (privileges) are removed because of (the robe-material) being lost.^[7]

^Kd.7.2.2 A monk, after kaṭhina-cloth has been made, taking robe-material, goes away, thinking, “I will come back”. When he has gone outside the boundary he gets that robe-material made up; when that robe has been made up,^[8] he hears: ^Vin.1.256 “The kaṭhina (privileges) are removed in this residence.” That monk’s kaṭhina (privileges) are removed because of his hearing (this news).^[9]

A monk, after kaṭhina-cloth has been made, taking robe material, goes away, thinking, “I will come back”. When he has gone outside the boundary he gets that robe-material made up; when that robe has been made up, he, thinking again and again, “I will come back”, spends the time outside (the boundary) until the kaṭhina (privileges) are removed. That monk’s kaṭhina (privileges) are removed because of his having crossed the boundary.

A monk, after kaṭhina-cloth has been made, taking robe-material, goes away, thinking, “I will come back”. When he has gone outside the boundary he gets that robe-material made up; when that robe is made up, he, thinking again and again, “I will come back”, (his return) coincides with^[10] the ^BD.4.360 removal of the kaṭhina (privileges). That monk’s kaṭhina (privileges) are removed together with (those of the other) monks.^[11]

Vin-a.1112 says that in this removal of the kaṭhina privileges on the ground of his going away, first the robes-impediment, cīvarapalibodha, is cut off, afterwards the residence-impediment, āvāsapalibodha. For by going thus, the robes-impediment is cut off inside the boundary, the residence-impediment when he has crossed the boundary. See also Vin.5.177.
