勅修百丈清規 4.37

4.37

寄歸傳云。維那。華梵兼舉也。維是綱維。華言也。那是梵語。羯磨陀那刪去三字從略。此云悅眾也。又十誦律云。以僧房中無人知時。打揵（巨寒切）椎（音地）又無人塗治掃洒講堂食處。無人相續鋪床。眾亂時無人彈壓等。佛令立維那。又聲論翻為次第。謂知僧事之次第也。

The Account of the Inner Law Sent Home from the South Seas states: 'The term karmadāna (weina) is a hybrid of Chinese and Sanskrit. Wei means to lead and regulate, which is Chinese. Na is Sanskrit; three syllables from karmadāna have been omitted for brevity. Here it means "pleasing the assembly".' Furthermore, the Ten Recitations Vinaya states: 'Because no one in the monastic rooms knew the time to strike the ghaṇṭī; and no one smeared, swept, or sprinkled the lecture halls and dining areas; no one continually arranged the beds; and when the assembly was disorderly, no one suppressed it, the Buddha commanded that a karmadāna be established.' Also, treatises on grammar translate it as "orderly sequence," meaning knowing the orderly sequence of monastic affairs.
