又毘尼母經云。氣有二種。一者上氣。二者下氣。上氣欲出時。莫當人張口令出。要迴面向無人處張口令出。若下氣欲出時。不聽眾中出。要作方便出外。至無人處令出。然後來入眾。莫使眾譏嫌污賤。入塔時不應放下氣。安塔樹下大眾中。皆不得令出氣。師前大德上座前。亦不得放下風出聲。若腸中有病急者應出外去。莫令人生污賤心。

> Also, the Vinayamātṛkā states: “There are two kinds of gas: the first is upward gas; the second is downward gas. When upward gas is about to emerge, one must not open the mouth to let it out facing others; one must turn the face toward a place where no one is present and open the mouth to let it out. When downward gas is about to emerge, it is not permitted to release it amidst the assembly; one must use expedient means to go outside to an unoccupied place to let it out, and only then return and enter the assembly. Do not cause the assembly to give rise to censure, revulsion, or contempt. When entering a stūpa, one should not pass downward gas. Under a tree where a stūpa is enshrined and amidst a great assembly, one must not allow gas to be passed in any case. In front of one's master, a venerable person, or a senior monk, one must also not pass downward wind with sound. If one has an urgent ailment in the bowels, one should go outside; do not cause people to produce thoughts of revulsion or contempt.”
