1.1265

八問中。有緣開略，無難如何？恐致濫行，故須問決。答中。律明六群恐餘比丘為作羯磨，遮自恣故，乃起諸過。文列七種，五是非法，二是別眾。因一說二說，佛即制斷自今已去，三說自恣。竊語，謂低聲。佛言：應了了自恣，足使他聞。疾疾，即急語；佛言：應徐徐自恣。

Under the eighth question: when there is a cause, abbreviating is permitted; how is it when there is no difficulty? Fearing that it would lead to lax practice, a question and resolution are necessary. In the answer: the Vinaya explains that the ṣaḍvargika monks, fearing that other bhikṣus would perform karmas against them and suspend their pavāraṇā, produced various faults. The text lists seven kinds: five are non-Dharmic, and two are of a splinter Saṅgha. Because of their making one or two declarations, the Buddha immediately prohibited it, ordering that from now on pavāraṇā must be done with three declarations. "Whispering" means speaking in a low voice. The Buddha said: one should perform pavāraṇā clearly, sufficiently for others to hear. "Hurriedly" means speaking rapidly; the Buddha said: one should perform pavāraṇā slowly.
