**Disciplinary Measures.** Sometimes, disciplinary measures have to be taken against monks offending not as individuals but as a body. Thus we are told of a Saṁgha that forfeits public support by its ill behaviour and is replaced by another Saṁgha or body of monks. An Act of Banishment is passed against the offending Saṁgha whereby they are turned out of the particular place where they had misbehaved and caused scandal but not out of the Order or Church [*Chullav.*, i, 13, 6].
