五分比丘尼戒本 1.37

1.37

「諸大姊！已說十七僧伽婆尸沙法，九初罪、八乃至三諫。若比丘尼犯一一罪，應二部僧中半月行摩那埵，次到阿浮訶那。如法作已，應二部僧各二十人中出罪，若少一人不名出罪，諸比丘尼亦可呵。是法應爾。今問，諸大姊是中清淨不？」（第二、第三亦如是說）「諸大姊是中清淨，默然故，是事如是持。」

"Venerable sisters! The seventeen saṅghāvaśeṣa rules have been spoken: nine are offenses upon initial commission, and eight upon the third admonition. If a bhikṣuṇī commits any one of these offenses, she must perform the mānatva for half a month in both saṅghas, and then proceed to the ābhirhaṇa. Having performed it according to the Dharma, she must be rehabilitated in both saṅghas, each having twenty members. If there is even one person fewer, it is not called rehabilitation, and the bhikṣuṇīs are also blameworthy. Such is the rule in this case. Now I ask the venerable sisters: are you pure in this?" (A second and a third time it is spoken likewise.) "The venerable sisters are pure in this, because of their silence; thus is this matter maintained."
