Kullavagga, Second Khandhaka, Chapter 7

7.

1. Now the venerable Upâli went up to the place where the Blessed One was; and on arriving there, he saluted the Blessed One, and took his seat on one side. And when he was so seated the venerable Upâli said to the Blessed One: 'Now in what case, Lord, can there be an interruption of the Mânatta discipline of a Bhikkhu who is undergoing that discipline?'

There are four ways of interruption of the Mânatta discipline, O Upâli, of a Bhikkhu who is undergoing that discipline; (that is to say), by dwelling together, by dwelling alone, by not announcing, and by living with less than four other Bhikkhus. These are the four ways (&c., as before, down to) undergoing that discipline.'
