Language: English

5.77

From "Rāhula..." down: second, respectfully declining as not competent. The text has four parts: first, directly declining as not competent; second, relating the reasons for not being competent; third, directly relating the rebuke; fourth, concluding his lack of competence. As for the first passage, it is truly because in the past, when he spoke of the merit of leaving home for the sons of elders, he was rebuked and had no answer; how could he be competent to convey the instruction?
