It briefly distinguishes the four assemblies: first, pocha; second, youpocha; third, bhikṣus; fourth, bhikṣuṇīs. As for the word pocha, or upāsaka, these are all corrupt abbreviations. Correctly speaking, it is upāsaka, which here means "a lay man who approaches and serves"; upāsikā here means "a lay woman who approaches and serves." The -ka is a masculine ending and -kā is a feminine ending. Because they constantly draw near and attend upon good persons, they are called "those who approach and serve"; the detailed explanation is as before. Bhikṣus and bhikṣuṇīs are also explained as before. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.151](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.3.151) - [Next: 3.153](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.3.153) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708~en-mt.3.152) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.3.152](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1708.3.152) · Pramāṇa
