Eleventh year (gengyin): On the day Ānanda renounced household life at the age of eight, he received the full ordination by a single motion and three karmans (the three karmans added to the preliminary single motion are called the 'four motions'; karman is translated as karma, referring to the wholesome actions performed). He delivered one hundred and ten arhats, receiving the three-phrase precept. For the first time, a jeweled blade was used to shave off the hair and beard. He further entrusted Kauṇḍinya and others to transmit the precepts to novices throughout the three continents (Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya). In this year, at Mount Willow, the Buddha preached the Dharma for the younger brother of King Druma Kiṃnara (Sūtra of the Twelve Years of Wandering).
