Origin story
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery.
Tena kho pana samayena chabbaggiyā bhikkhū āvudhapāṇissa dhammaṁ desenti …pe…. At that time the monks from the group of six gave teachings to people holding weapons. …
Final ruling
“Na āvudhapāṇissa agilānassa dhammaṁ desessāmīti sikkhā karaṇīyā”ti. “‘I will not give a teaching to anyone holding a weapon who is not sick,’ this is how you should train.”
