尼羯磨 1.74

1.74

大姊僧聽！此某甲比丘尼，今從眾僧乞授人具足戒；僧今與某甲比丘尼授人具足戒。誰諸大姊忍僧與某甲比丘尼授人具足戒者默然，誰不忍者說。僧已忍聽某甲比丘尼授人具足戒竟。僧忍，默然故，是事如是持。（依止闍梨，法亦同此。）

“Suṇātu me ayye saṃgho! This bhikṣuṇī so-and-so now requests from the saṃgha [permission] to grant someone upasampadā; the saṃgha now grants bhikṣuṇī so-and-so [permission] to grant someone upasampadā. Whichever of the ayye approve of the saṃgha granting bhikṣuṇī so-and-so [permission] to grant someone upasampadā, let them remain silent; whoever does not approve, let her speak. The saṃgha has already approved permitting bhikṣuṇī so-and-so to grant someone upasampadā. Because the saṃgha has approved by remaining silent, thus is this matter maintained.” (The procedure for a mentor ācāryā is also the same as this.)
