He should make the motion, saying: "Let the venerable saṃgha listen! This so-and-so seeks to receive the upasampadā precepts from the upādhyāya so-and-so; this so-and-so now requests to receive the upasampadā precepts from the saṃgha, with so-and-so as upādhyāya. If the time has arrived for the saṃgha, may the saṃgha give consent: I shall question him on the matters of impediment. Such is the motion." Question: The precept-master makes a motion to harmonize the saṃgha, but why does the instructing master not do so? Answer: When the karmadāna questions the candidate on the impediments before the saṃgha, he was not previously appointed to do so, hence he must harmonize \[the assembly\] afterward; the instructing master was already appointed by the saṃgha and acts under orders to question him, so why would he need further harmonization? Moreover, he was in a screened place and did not question him before the assembly. Question: Why is the precept-master not appointed, while only the instructing master is appointed? Answer: The instructing master leaves the assembly to question the impediments; without appointment, he would have no basis to question him on his own authority; the karmadāna questions him within the assembly, hence he does not need to be appointed. There are further critical distinctions, as explained in the Commentary on the Meaning. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.414](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.1.414) - [Next: 1.416](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.1.416) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804~en-mt.1.415) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.1.415](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.1.415) · Pramāṇa
