(Mv.I.72.1) [136] Now at that time the Group-of-six monks were giving dependence to those who were unconscientious. They reported the matter to the Blessed One.

“Dependence should not be given to one who is unconscientious. Whoever should give it: an offense of wrong doing.”

Now at that time monks lived in dependence under those who were unconscientious. In no long time, they also became unconscientious, evil monks. They reported the matter to the Blessed One.

“One should not live in dependence under one who is unconscientious. Whoever should (so) live (in dependence): an offense of wrong doing.”

(Mv.I.72.2) Then the thought occurred to the monks, “It has been laid down by the Blessed One that, ‘Dependence should not be given to one who is unconscientious; one should not live in dependence under one who is unconscientious.’ Now, how are we to know is conscientious and who is unconscientious?”

They reported the matter to the Blessed One.

“I allow that you wait four or five days until you know how compatible (you are with him).”
