"Listen closely! Now is the time of sincere truth, the time of speaking facts. I now question you: if there is something, say there is; if there is not, say there is not. Have you not committed a grave offence involving expulsion? Have you not defiled a bhikṣu? Are you not one who entered the path with a thief's mindset? Have you not apostatized between the inner and non-Buddhist paths? Are you not a paṇḍaka? Have you not killed your father? Have you not killed your mother? Have you not killed an arhat? Have you not broken the harmony of the saṃgha? Have you not, with malicious intent, drawn blood from the body of a Buddha? Are you not a non-human? Are you not an animal? Are you not an hermaphrodite? What is your name? What is your upādhyāyikā's name? Are your years complete? Are your robes and bowl complete? Have your parents and husband granted permission? Are you not in debt to anyone? Are you not a maidservant? Are you a woman? Women have such illnesses as these: leprosy, ulcers, consumption, epilepsy and madness, the joining of the two orifices, small orifices, constant leakage of feces and urine, and constant discharge of nasal mucus and saliva. Do you have any such illnesses as these?" (In accordance with each matter, she replies: "No." He should further ask:) "Have you trained in the precepts?" (She should then reply:) "I have trained in the precepts." (He should further ask:) "Are you pure?" (She should further reply:) "Pure." (He should further ask the other bhikṣuṇīs:) "Has so-and-so trained in the precepts?" (The other bhikṣuṇīs reply:) "She has trained in the precepts." (He should further ask again:) "Is she pure?" (They should further reply again:) "Pure."
