So evaṃ cintentova ṭhatvā bījayamāno therassa sīse tālavaṇṭena pahari. Thero ‘‘kiṃ nu kho ahaṃ saṅgharakkhitena sīse pahato’’ti upadhārento tena cintitacintitaṃ sabbaṃ ñatvā, ‘‘saṅgharakkhita, mātugāmassa pahāraṃ dātuṃ nāsakkhi, ko ettha mahallakattherassa doso’’ti āha. So ‘‘aho naṭṭhomhi, ñātaṃ kira me upajjhāyena cintitacintitaṃ, kiṃ me samaṇabhāvenā’’ti tālavaṇṭaṃ chaḍḍetvā palāyituṃ āraddho.

Thus pondered the younger monk as he stood fanning the Elder. As he concluded his reflections, he swung his palm-leaf fan and brought it down on the head of the Elder. The Elder considered within himself, "Why did Saṅgharakkhita strike me on the head?" Immediately becoming aware of every single thought that had passed through the mind of his nephew, he said to him, "Saṅgharakkhita, you did not succeed in hitting the woman; but what has an old Elder done to deserve a beating?" The younger monk thought to himself, "Oh, I am ruined! My preceptor, it appears, knows every thought that has passed through my mind. What have I to do with the life of a monk any longer?" Straightway he threw his fan away

and started to run off. But the probationers and novices ran after him, caught him, and led him to the Teacher.
