"Suṇātu me ayye saṃgho! On such-and-such a month, such-and-such a day, and such-and-such a time, the saṃgha will assemble at such-and-such a place for the poṣadha." (After making this announcement, when the time for the poṣadha arrives, junior bhikṣuṇīs should first go to the poṣadha hall to sweep and sprinkle water, spread the sitting mats, prepare the pure-water jar and foot-washing jar, light the lamps, and prepare the śalākās. If the junior bhikṣuṇīs do not know how, the senior nuns should instruct them; if the seniors do not instruct them, it is a duṣkṛta; if they do not follow the senior nuns' instruction, it is a duṣkṛta. The same applies to packing up. When the saṃgha assembles, those sitting next to each other should check each other to know whether anyone has come or not. First make the ñatti, and then recite the precepts. The procedures for the ñatti and so forth are fully detailed in the Prātimokṣa Sūtra.)
