四分律行事鈔資持記 3.1037

3.1037

正受中，初緣明是中，正教明制；必往僧中，《尼戒本》云：若比丘尼，與人授具足戒已（即本法也。）；經宿方往僧中，與受具足戒者，波逸提。《業疏》，問云：經宿失本法不？答：不失法，由捨故，不由隔日；若當日不去，明日須捨故受新，方得。

Under 'Direct Conferral': in 'the preliminary conditions clarify what is correct,' the correct teaching clarifies the regulation; one must go to the saṃgha. The Bhikṣuṇī Pātimokkha says: 'If a bhikṣuṇī, having conferred the upasampadā on a person (which is the basic procedure), passes the night before going to the saṃgha to confer the upasampadā on her, it is a pāyattika.' The Karma Commentary asks: 'Does passing the night cause the forfeiture of the basic procedure?' Answer: 'The procedure is not forfeited; forfeiture is due to relinquishment, not due to the passage of a day. If one does not go on that day, one must relinquish it the next day and receive a new one before it is valid.'
