2.172

"Suṇātu me ayye saṃgho! This bhikṣuṇī [name] is fond of quarrelling and disputing, reviling one another, mouths producing swords and daggers, mutually seeking out faults. Having quarreled among themselves, if other bhikṣuṇīs are quarrelling, she then goes there to encourage them, saying: 'Exert your efforts! Do not be inferior to the others! You are of great learning and wisdom, superior in wealth, and have many acquaintances; we shall be your allies.' She causes disputes to arise where the saṃgha had no disputes, and where there were already disputes, prevents them from being settled. If the time has arrived for the saṃgha, and the saṃgha approves, the saṃgha executes the tarjanīya-karman for bhikṣuṇī [name]. If later she quarrels, disputes, and reviles again, the saṃgha will discipline her with increased penalties. Such is the ñatti."
