3.425

四安置儀式。應在二眾各結界內，長鋪兩席，使中央空二三尺許，令申手相及。諸本法尼，多者兩處安置；一眾多聚處，二單身在僧前。一一召來，入眾教乞；得戒已，令在大尼下坐；待竟，總為說相。

Fourth, the protocol of arrangement. Within the boundaries demarcated separately by the two assemblies, two long mats should be spread, leaving a space of about two or three feet in the center so that reaching out hands can touch each other. The candidates who underwent the fundamental procedure, if numerous, should be arranged in two places: first, the place where the multitude gathers, and second, standing singly before the saṃgha. Each one is called forth individually, enters the assembly, and is instructed to make the request; having obtained the precepts, she is seated below the senior bhikṣuṇīs; waiting until all are finished, the precept marks are collectively explained to them.
