3.62

若比丘與女人共期同一道行乃至村間波逸提　此滿足戒本文有五句。一犯人。二同行境三共期。四同道行。五結犯。初句可知。二言婦。女者如上。三言共期者。律云。言共至某村城國土。四同一道行至村間者。律云。有分齊行處是五言波逸提者。律云。若村內一界行一墮多村。內多累行多墮。餘文如前。與尼同行說戒。不犯者。先不知若不共期。須往彼得安。若力勢諸難等皆開不犯。

“If a bhikṣu makes an appointment with a woman to travel along the same single road, even [just] between villages, it is a prāyaścittika.” This full precept has five clauses in its text: first, the person committing the offense; second, the party with whom one travels; third, making an appointment together; fourth, travelling along the same road; fifth, determination of the offense. The first clause is self-evident. Second, “woman”: as explained above. Third, “makes an appointment together”: the Vinaya states that it means saying, “Let us go together to a certain village, city, or country.” Fourth, “travels along the same single road, even between villages”: the Vinaya states that it refers to a place of travel that has demarcations. Fifth, “it is a prāyaścittika”: the Vinaya states that travelling within a single village boundary incurs one fall [into an offense]; travelling within multiple villages incurs multiple falls consecutively. The rest of the text is as explained before under the precept on travelling together with a nun. As for exemptions: if one did not know beforehand; if one did not make an appointment; if one must go there to find safety; or if there are difficulties involving physical coercion and the like—all these are exempt and not an offense.
