(Mv.VII.13.1) [126] “Monks, there are these two constraints for (maintaining) the kaṭhina.

“And which are the two constraints for the kaṭhina?

“The residence constraint and the robe constraint.

“And how is there the residence constraint?

“There is the case where a monk, either dwelling in a residence or intent on that residence goes away (thinking,) ‘I will return.’

“This is how there is the residence constraint.

“And how is there the robe constraint?

“There is the case where a monk’s robe is unfinished or half-finished or his expectation for robe-cloth has not yet been disappointed.

“This is how there is the robe constraint.

“These are the two constraints for the kaṭhina.

(Mv.VII.13.2) “And which are the two non-constraints for the kaṭhina?

“The residence non-constraint and the robe non-constraint.

“And how is there the residence non-constraint?

“There is the case where a monk goes away from that residence with a sense of abandoning, a sense of disgorging, a sense of being freed, a lack of intent (to return), (thinking,) ‘I won’t return.’

“This is how there is the residence non-constraint.

“And how is there the robe non-constraint?

“There is the case where a monk’s robe is finished or lost or destroyed or burned or his expectation for robe-cloth has been disappointed.

“This is how there is the robe non-constraint.

“These are the two non-constraints for the kaṭhina.”
