尼羯磨 3.32

3.32

The procedure for granting the settlement for the non-insane (amūḍha-vinaya): (If there is a bhikṣuṇī who was insane and mentally disturbed, frequently committed multiple offences, acted contrary to the recluse's code, spoke without restraint, and whose coming and going, exiting and entering were not in accord with proper deportment; later, having regained her mind, there are bhikṣuṇīs who say, "You committed grave offences: pārājika and saṃghāvaśeṣa," and question her, saying, "Do you recollect committing a grave offence or not?" She immediately replies, "Previously, when I was insane and mentally disturbed, I frequently committed multiple offences. It was not done intentionally by me; it was simply madness and insanity. Sisters, you need not repeatedly challenge and cross-examine me." The bhikṣuṇīs nevertheless challenge and cross-examine her without ceasing. The Buddha said, "I allow the saṃgha to carry out the jñapticaturtha-karman of the settlement for the non-insane for her." The request to perform it is as in the text.)
