Regarding government officials: The Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya states: Those with title and stipend, or with title and without stipend, may not be ordained either in this or that country; those with stipend and without title may be ordained elsewhere; those with neither title nor stipend are entirely permitted. Based on this, when a layperson comes seeking to go forth, in principle one should confer [ordination] upon him.
