After the ceremony, he said to Pai Cheng :
- Here is my brother, he would like to be ordained monk under your
patronage,
would you mind ?
Pai Cheng said :
- It's not suitable for him to be ordained monk under my patronage. (1)
The attendent said :
- How would it be to be suitable ?
Pai Cheng said :
- Ordained monk under ( your ) big uncle monk. (2)
The attendent went with his brother to his uncle monk. He reported all
the
incidents, the uncle monk agreed. The big brother was admitted to the
sangha.
Later the attendent went with his little monk brother (3) to the capital
city for
receiving the restriction rules. After the ceremony, they went to live
at Pai Cheng.

=====================================

Notes

(1) That is from rules in certain sects I don't know which one.
(2) Big brother in Dao of Pai Cheng is called big uncle by Pai Cheng 's
disciples.
Here we do not know who was.
(3) The big brother here was called little brother, because he was
ordained monk
after his little brother did.
