He then folded it and put it aside.\nSoon afterwards that nun went to Udāyī and said,\n“Sir, where’s the robe?”\n“Now, sister, take this robe as it’s folded and put it aside. When the Sangha of nuns goes to the instruction, then put it on and follow right behind the other nuns.”\nAnd that nun did just that.\nPeople complained and criticized her,\n“How indecent these nuns are, what shameless scoundrels, in drawing pictures on their robes!”\nThe nuns asked her,\n“Who did this?”\n“Venerable Udāyī.”\n“This sort of work would not even make an indecent, shameless scoundrel look good, let alone Venerable Udāyī.”\nThe nuns told the monks,\nand the monks of few desires complained and criticized him,\n“How could Venerable Udāyī sew a robe for a nun?” …\n“Is it true, Udāyī, that you did this?”\n“It’s true, sir.”\n“Is she a relative of yours?”\n“No.”\n“Foolish man, a man and a woman who are unrelated don’t know what’s appropriate and inappropriate, what’s inspiring and uninspiring, in dealing with each other.\nAnd still you did this.\nThis will affect people’s confidence …” …\n“And, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:","pi":"Tena samayena buddho
