ABSTRACT
Then those brethren, falling prone at the feet of the Exalted. One, spake thus: "Transgression' hath overcome us, lord, so foolish, so stupid, so wrong were we, in that we, who are in orders· under a Doctrine and Discipline so well declared, did out-talk one another therein saying: 'Come, brother, which of us will talk more, Will talk better, will talk longer? ' May the Exalted One accept this our confession, lord, for restraint in the future."
