Pabbājanīyakamma
v1.c20.s3.1
If a monk becomes a defiler of good families (*kuladūsaka*) and gives himself up to unholy conduct (*pāpasamācāra*) like garlanding, and encouraging playing, singing and dancing deserves *pabbājanīyakamma* (temporary removal from the monastery). The same may also be pronounced against one who is quarrelsome, unscrupulous about moral conduct and doctrinal views, picks up quarrels in the Saṅgha, or speaks ill of Buddha, Dhamma and Saṅgha, or one who is frivolous (*dava*), or lacks in manners (*anācāra*), or earns his food by evil means, or harms others either by speech or action or both.
v1.c20.s3.2
A monk punished with *pabbājaniyak.* is required to leave the monastery, behave properly in his new residence, and observe all the restrictions imposed upon him. The restrictions imposed and the procedure for inflicting and revoking the disciplinary measure is similar to that of *tajjaniyak.*
