Translation

a2	/// (If) a monk gave a consent [there before], thereafter [blamed]
a3	/// ... The monks heard this thing, and said to Buddha. [Buddha] (heard)
a4	/// The bad insight has arisen to him. He loves sexual pleasures. For him, it is not the good laws
a5	/// He approached in doubt. He saw the golden pieces (?) there ///
b1	/// He did not say any other word. The king (heard) ///
b2	/// (Buddha) [was staying] (in Vaiśālī). Many princes of Vaiśālī [at the gates of the gardens] ///
b3	/// (The judges) said: 'The monks belonging to Śākya are not worthy of doing a thing of this type.' ///
b4	/// She took off these ornaments in order to see Buddha, (and) gave (them) to a maid-servant. ///
b5	/// [Inside the monastery, the jewel should be taken up with this thought] ///
