1.388

Fifth is not being a paṇḍaka. In the Vinaya there are five kinds: first, born a paṇḍaka; second, castrated; third, jealousy and lust arise only upon seeing others engage in sexual intercourse; fourth, suddenly transformed; fifth, capable of being male for half a month, and incapable of being male for half a month. In the world, there are many who castrate themselves; according to the Dharmaguptaka Vinaya, they should be expelled. The text says: If castrated, it is cut off completely. Nowadays, if someone cuts off only a small portion and his mental disposition has not changed, and moreover he possesses great integrity and aspiration, based on the Pañcavargika-vinaya, he should obtain [the precepts]. That text says: If one cuts off the head or half, it constitutes a minor offense; if one cuts it off completely, one is expelled. The Dharmaguptaka Vinaya says: If one was cut by an enemy, a wild beast, or it fell off due to karmic retribution, it should follow the rule for bhikṣus. If one cuts it oneself, one is expelled. It does not clarify the precise extent. The Pañcavargika-vinaya says: At that time, a bhikṣu was burned by the fire of lust and could not endure it. Up to where the Buddha rebuked him, saying: 'You foolish man! What should have been cut, you did not cut; what should not have been cut, you cut.' He told the bhikṣus: If it is cut completely, one is expelled; if the testicles still remain, one repents according to the class of offense. Clarifying based on this: for one who has cut it before receiving full ordination, there is ultimately no explicit teaching. One must investigate and determine according to the above, and confer the precepts according to the other school.
