4.3.9.1

Yadi puthujjano arahato cīvaraṃ deti, sāsavaṃ hutvā anāsavaṃ hotīti?

If an ordinary person gives a robe to an arahant, having been tainted, does it become taintless?

Or, conversely, if a man of the world give a robe or other requisite to an Arahant, does that which is co-intoxicant become thereby the opposite? Does that which has been co-intoxicant become free from intoxicants—lust, for instance, hate, delusion … indiscretion such as beset and characterize the man of the world?
