Kathavatthu 4.3.7

4.3.7.1

Yadi arahā puthujjanassa cīvaraṃ deti, anāsavaṃ hutvā sāsavaṃ hotīti?

If an arahant gives a robe to an ordinary person, having been cankerless does it become with cankers?

Moreover, if an Arahant give his robe to a man of the world, does that which was free from intoxicants thereby become co-intoxicant? You may admit this in general terms, but do you admit that that which is free from intoxicants may also be the opposite? If you say “yes”, then, by the analogy of the robe, anything else about the Arahant—his religious characters: Path, Fruit, etc.—having been free from intoxicants, may become co-intoxicant. The analogy may also be based on the gift of food, lodging, or medicine.
