The procedure for appropriating offerings received by the two saṃghas (At that time, in another dwelling place, the two saṃghas obtained many robes and items that could be distributed; at that time the bhikṣu-saṃgha was numerous, and the bhikṣuṇī-saṃgha was few. The Buddha said: "They should be divided into two shares. If there are no bhikṣuṇīs, but only śikṣamāṇās, divide into two shares as well; even if there are only śrāmaṇerikās, divide into two shares as well; if there are no śrāmaṇerikās, the [bhikṣu-]saṃgha should distribute them. If the bhikṣus are few and the bhikṣuṇīs are numerous, divide into two shares as well; if there are no bhikṣus, but only śrāmaṇeras, divide into two shares as well; if there are no śrāmaṇeras, the bhikṣuṇīs should distribute them." Having divided them into two shares, each goes to their own place and distributes them using the three procedures such as the karman. Offerings obtained by the saṃgha in season are also like this. Offerings present to the two saṃghas are all distributed by counting heads.)
