1.2.4 Aṭṭhārasavatta

Niyassakammakatena, bhikkhave, bhikkhunā sammā vattitabbaṃ. Tatrāyaṃ sammāvattanā—  na upasampādetabbaṃ, na nissayo dātabbo, na sāmaṇero upaṭṭhāpetabbo, na bhikkhunovādakasammuti sāditabbā, sammatenapi bhikkhuniyo na ovaditabbā. Yāya āpattiyā saṃghena niyassakammaṃ kataṃ hoti sā āpatti na āpajjitabbā, aññā vā tādisikā, tato vā pāpiṭṭhatarā; kammaṃ na garahitabbaṃ, kammikā na garahitabbā. Na pakatattassa bhikkhuno uposatho ṭhapetabbo, na pavāraṇā ṭhapetabbā, na savacanīyaṃ kātabbaṃ, na anuvādo paṭṭhapetabbo, na okāso kārāpetabbo, na codetabbo, na sāretabbo, na bhikkhūhi sampayojetabban”ti.

“ahaṃ, āvuso, saṃghena niyassakammakato sammā vattāmi, lomaṃ pātemi, netthāraṃ vattāmi. Kathaṃ nu kho mayā paṭipajjitabban”ti? Bhikkhū bhagavato etamatthaṃ ārocesuṃ…pe… . “Tena hi, bhikkhave, saṃgho seyyasakassa bhikkhuno niyassakammaṃ paṭippassambhetu.
