尼羯磨 2.148

2.148

佛教比丘尼作淨故與汝。（若言：）與僧、與塔、與和尚等、與諸親舊知識、若還本主。（何以故？不欲失彼信施故。）

"The Buddha taught the bhikṣuṇī to perform allowable purification, and therefore it was given to you." (Or say:) "Give it to the saṃgha, to a stūpa, to an upādhyāyā, and the like, to relatives and old acquaintances, or return it to the original owner." (Why is this? Because she does not wish to cause the donor's faithful offering to be lost.)
