Fifty-four: staying more than two nights in the same room with an unordained person is an offense of pāyattika. In a great lecture hall in the country of Āḷavī, monastics and laypeople gathered like clouds to listen together to the exposition of the Dharma. When it reached the late night, all lay down to sleep. The novices slept restlessly, tossing about and crying out loudly. The laypeople criticized and disparaged them, and the World-Honoured One rebuked them, not allowing them to lodge together. After the precept was formulated, Rāhula wished to sleep, and went into the various rooms, but none would accommodate him. He then entered the Buddha's latrine and fell soundly asleep. Outside there was a venomous snake about to enter the latrine. The Buddha, fearing it would harm him, caused wind and rain to arise outside, and made the sound of thunder. Rāhula awoke, and the Buddha led him out by the hand, comforted him and consoled him, making him free from sorrow and distress. Because of this, lodging together for two nights was permitted, for two reasons: first, for the sake of the novices; second, for the sake of laypeople; out of fear that venomous snakes, vicious beasts, evil spirits, or evil persons might harm them; also fearing that their close relatives would be greatly angered; and also because it would be inhumane and harm great compassion. Moreover, to guard against unlawful deeds, it does not exceed two nights. Later, when a monk was ill, a novice looked after him. After two nights had passed, the monk ordered him to leave. Later, because of an emergency, there was no one to administer medicine. Thereupon, it was permitted for the novice to look after him standing up. The novice looked after him standing up, fell asleep, and collapsed to the ground. Then it was permitted for a sick person; with a sick person there is no offense. If a novice and a fully ordained monk look after a sick person together, alternating sitting and lying down, there is no offense.
