1.32

問:「比丘度人,不問本末度。後知是佛奴,而不發遣。犯何事?」答:「知是而度,犯重。若先不知,知便發遣。若不發遣,亦犯重。」問:「其人是大道人不?」答曰:「非。」

It was asked, "If a bhikṣu ordains someone without inquiring into his background, and later learns that he is a Buddha slave but does not dismiss him, what offence is committed?" It was answered, "If he ordains him knowing it, it is a grave offence. If he did not know previously, as soon as he knows he must dismiss him. If he does not dismiss him, it is also a grave offence." It was asked, "Is that person a great renunciant?" It was answered, "He is not."
