Some new members of the Order, dwelling near the Buddha, made so much noise that they were summoned and asked to leave at once. But the Sakiyans of Catuma and Brahma Sahampati interceded on their behalf and they were allowed to return.

waves, crocodiles, whirlpools and sharks -so are there four terrors awaiting the monk -
temper, gluttony, the pleasures of the senses and women.
