The name "bhikṣu" contains three meanings, as explained previously. "Nī" means a woman. Old sūtras call them "men who eradicate famine" and "women who eradicate famine." "Upāsaka and upāsikā" are translated here as "pure-faith layman" and "pure-faith laywoman," or as "man of good lodging" and "woman of good lodging." Although living at home, they uphold the five precepts and men and women do not lodge together, hence "good lodging." This explanation cannot yet be definitively adopted. All of these were urgent in both precepts and the vehicle: being urgent in the precepts, they were born in the human destiny; being urgent in the vehicle, they encountered the Buddha, heard the Dharma, and became disciples. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.2.13) - [Next: 2.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.2.15) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778~en-mt.2.14) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.2.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.2.14) · Pramāṇa
