尼羯磨 2.199

2.199

"Suṇātu me ayye saṃgho! This bhikṣuṇī so-and-so has committed an offence. The bhikṣuṇīs asked her, 'Do you now yourself know whether you have committed an offence or not?' This bhikṣuṇī immediately replied to the bhikṣuṇīs with irrelevant matters, saying: 'To whom are you speaking? What matter are you talking about? What principle are you discussing? Are you speaking for me? Are you speaking for others? Who committed an offence? From what did the offence arise? I do not see any offence!' If the saṃgha's time has arrived, and the saṃgha approves, let the bhikṣuṇī so-and-so be formally designated as prevaricating. Such is the ñatti." (After making this ñatti, she is designated as prevaricating. If one prevaricates before the ñatti is made, it is in all cases a duṣkṛta; if one prevaricates after the ñatti has been made, it is in all cases a prāyaścittika.)
