「汝第一不犯邊罪不？」答言：「無」者。語云：「汝應不識此罪，謂曾受佛戒而犯淫、盜、殺、妄；作此四者，必不得受。今汝無耶？」答言：「無」者。又語云：「汝若不識不解，不得妄答。第二汝不白衣時污淨戒比丘尼不？」答言：「無。」「第三汝不白衣沙彌時，盜聽他說戒羯磨，詐作比丘不？」答言：「無。」「第四汝非曾作外道，來投受戒後，還作外道；今復重來不？」答言：「無。」「第五汝非五種黃門（依名示之）不？」答言：「無」者。「第六汝非殺父不？」「第七汝非殺母不？」「第八汝非殺阿羅漢不？」「第九汝非破僧不？」「第十汝非惡心出佛身血不？」各各答言「無」者。「第十一汝非天子、阿脩羅子，名為非人，變為人形而來受戒不？」答言：「無。」「第十二汝非諸龍畜等能變化者，變為人形而來受不？」答言：「無。」「第十三汝今身中不佩男女二形不？」答：「無」者。應讚言：「善男子！已問難事，十三既無，戒可得受。」

"First, have you not committed an offense of extreme gravity?" If he answers: "No," one tells him: "You may not know this offense; it means having previously received the Buddha's precepts and then committing unchastity, theft, killing, or lying. One who has done these four must not receive [the precepts]. Do you not have this?" If he answers: "No," one tells him further: "If you do not recognize or understand it, you must not answer falsely. Second, when you were a layperson, did you not defile a pure-precept bhikṣuṇī?" He answers: "No." "Third, when you were a layperson or a śrāmaṇera, did you not secretly listen to their upoṣadha recitation and karman, falsely pretending to be a bhikṣu?" He answers: "No." "Fourth, having previously been a tīrthika, did you not come to take refuge and receive the precepts, and afterward return to being a tīrthika, and now come again?" He answers: "No." "Fifth, are you not one of the five kinds of paṇḍaka (explain them by their names)?" If he answers: "No." "Sixth, have you not killed your father?" "Seventh, have you not killed your mother?" "Eighth, have you not killed an arhat?" "Ninth, have you not disrupted the saṃgha?" "Tenth, did you not, with an evil mind, shed the blood of a Buddha's body?" To each, he answers: "No." "Eleventh, are you not a son of the devas or a son of the asuras—called a non-human—who has transformed into human form to come and receive the precepts?" He answers: "No." "Twelfth, are you not among the nāgas, beasts, and the like capable of transformation, who has transformed into human form to come and receive [the precepts]?" He answers: "No." "Thirteenth, does your present body not bear both male and female characteristics?" If he answers: "No," one should praise him, saying: "Good son! The impediments have been asked. Since none of the thirteen is present, you may receive the precepts."
