> "How many kinds of judicial procedure, Venerable Sir, are taught?"  
> "Gautama, five kinds of judicial procedure are taught, namely: canon, scripture, command, precedent retention, and custom.  
> If there is canon there, one should determine the judicial procedure by the canon.  
> And if there is no canon there, but if there is scripture there, one should determine the judicial procedure by the scripture.  
> And if there is no scripture there, but if there is command there, one should determine the judicial procedure by the command.  
> And if there is no command there, but if there is precedent retention there, one should determine the judicial procedure by the precedent retention.  
> And if there is no precedent retention there, but if there is custom there, one should determine the judicial procedure by the custom.  
> One should determine the judicial procedure by these five, namely: by the canon, by the scripture, by the command, by the precedent retention, and by the custom.  
> Just as the canon, scripture, command, precedent retention, and custom are, so one should determine the judicial procedure.  
> Why do they say this, Venerable Sir: 'Śramaṇa Nirgranthas are reliant on the canon'?"  
> "Practicing this fivefold judicial procedure properly—whenever and wherever, then and there—unattached and free from bias, the Śramaṇa Nirgrantha becomes a fulfiller of the command."
