2.142

大姊僧聽！僧今以此（若最下座鉢、若彼比丘尼下鉢）與某甲比丘尼受持，乃至破。誰諸大姊忍僧與某甲比丘尼鉢者默然，誰不忍者說。僧已忍與某甲比丘尼鉢竟。僧忍，默然故，是事如是持。（彼比丘尼守護此鉢，不得著瓦石落處，不得著倚杖下、及著倚刀下，不得著懸物下，及著道中、石上、菓樹下、不平地，不得一手捉兩鉢除指隔中央，不得一手捉兩鉢開戶除用心，不得著戶閾內、戶扇下，不得著繩床、木床下、床間、床角頭，除暫著，不得立盪鉢乃至足令鉢破，不應故壞、及故令失、作非鉢用。）

"Suṇātu me ayye saṃgho! The saṃgha now gives this (either the bowl of the most junior seated, or the inferior bowl of that bhikṣuṇī) to bhikṣuṇī so-and-so to receive and keep until it breaks. Whichever ayye approves that the saṃgha gives the bowl to bhikṣuṇī so-and-so, let her remain silent; whosoever does not approve, let her speak. The saṃgha has approved giving the bowl to bhikṣuṇī so-and-so. The saṃgha approves, because it is silent; thus do we hold this matter." (That bhikṣuṇī must guard and protect this bowl: she must not place it where tiles or stones might fall; she must not place it under leaning walking-sticks, nor under leaning knives; she must not place it under hanging objects, nor on a path, on a stone, under fruit trees, or on uneven ground; she must not hold two bowls in one hand except by separating them with fingers in the middle; she must not hold two bowls in one hand to open a door except with mindful care; she must not place it inside a door threshold, nor under a door leaf; she must not place it under a rope bed or wooden bed, between beds, or at the corner of a bed, except temporarily; she must not rinse the bowl while standing, to the extent that it might cause the bowl to break; she should not intentionally damage it, nor intentionally cause it to be lost, nor use it for non-bowl purposes.)
