四分律比丘含注戒本 2.579

2.579

尼同犯。不犯者：其事實爾，不故作，彼非爾許時生，恐後疑悔，無故受他利養，受大比丘禮敬，便語言「汝非爾許時生；如餘人生，知汝非爾許時生」；其事實爾，彼無爾許歲，恐後疑悔，受他利養、敬奉，語言「汝無爾許歲；如餘比丘，知汝未爾許歲」；其事實爾，若年不滿二十、界內別眾，恐後疑悔，受利養、禮敬，語彼令知，還本處更受戒故；其事實爾，白不成、羯磨不成、非法別眾，恐後疑悔，受利養、禮敬，語彼令知，還本處更受戒故；其事實爾，犯波羅夷乃至惡說，恐後疑悔，受人利養，受持戒比丘禮敬，欲令知如法懺悔，故語知犯乃至惡說；又為性麁疎，不知言語，便言「汝所說者，自稱上人法」。若錯，若戲笑者，無犯。

Bhikṣuṇīs commit the same offense. There is no offense: if the fact is really so and one did not act intentionally—[for example,] he was not born at such a time, and fearing that later he will have doubt and remorse, receiving others' offerings for no reason and receiving the salutations and veneration of senior bhikṣus, one therefore tells him, "You were not born at such a time; as other people were born [then], they know you were not born at such a time"; if the fact is really so, and he does not have that many years [since ordination], and fearing that later he will have doubt and remorse, receiving others' offerings and veneration, one tells him, "You do not have that many years; as other bhikṣus know, you have not reached that many years"; if the fact is really so, as when his age is not full twenty years or there was a dissentient community within the sīmā, and fearing that later he will have doubt and remorse, receiving offerings and salutations, one tells him so that he knows, in order for him to return to his original place to take ordination again; if the fact is really so, the motion was not properly made, the karman was not properly performed, or it was an unlawful dissentient community, and fearing that later he will have doubt and remorse, receiving offerings and salutations, one tells him so that he knows, in order for him to return to his original place to take ordination again; if the fact is really so, he has committed a pārājika or up to speaking malicious words, and fearing that later he will have doubt and remorse, receiving people's offerings and receiving the salutations of precept-observing bhikṣus, wishing to let him know so as to confess according to the Dharma, one therefore tells him so that he knows the offense, up to speaking malicious words; furthermore, if by a coarse and careless nature, not knowing proper speech, one simply says, "What you have said is claiming for yourself the dharmas of a superior person." If by mistake or in jest, there is no offense.
