- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:1.1
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.
At one time when the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery,
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:1.2
Tena kho pana samayena bhaddāya kāpilāniyā antevāsiniyā bhikkhuniyā ñātako puriso gāmakā sāvatthiṁ agamāsi kenacideva karaṇīyena.
a male relative of a nun who was a pupil of Bhaddā Kāpilānī went from his own village to Sāvatthī on some business.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:1.3
Atha kho sā bhikkhunī—
Then,
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:1.4
“bhagavatā paṭikkhittaṁ paṭicchanne okāse purisena saddhiṁ ekenekā santiṭṭhituṁ sallapitun”ti teneva purisena saddhiṁ ajjhokāse ekenekā santiṭṭhatipi sallapatipi.
knowing that the Buddha had prohibited standing or talking alone with a man in a concealed place, she instead stood and talked alone with that man out in the open.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:1.5
Yā tā bhikkhuniyo appicchā …pe… tā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
The nuns of few desires complained and criticized her,
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:1.6
“kathañhi nāma bhikkhunī ajjhokāse purisena saddhiṁ ekenekā santiṭṭhissatipi sallapissatipī”ti …pe…
“How could a nun do such a thing?” …
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:1.7
“saccaṁ kira, bhikkhave, bhikkhunī ajjhokāse purisena saddhiṁ ekenekā santiṭṭhatipi sallapatipī”ti?
“Is it true, monks, that a nun did this?”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:1.8
“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.
“It’s true, sir.”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:1.9
Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…
The Buddha rebuked her …
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:1.10
kathañhi nāma, bhikkhave, bhikkhunī ajjhokāse purisena saddhiṁ ekenekā santiṭṭhissatipi sallapissatipi.
“How could a nun do such a thing?
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:1.11
Netaṁ, bhikkhave, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…
This will affect people’s confidence …” …
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:1.12
evañca pana, bhikkhave, bhikkhuniyo imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddisantu—
“And, monks, the nuns should recite this training rule like this:
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:1.13.1
“Yā pana bhikkhunī ajjhokāse purisena saddhiṁ ekenekā santiṭṭheyya vā sallapeyya vā, pācittiyan”ti.
‘If a nun stands or talks alone with a man out in the open, she commits an offense entailing confession.’”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:2.1
Yā panāti
A:
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:2.2
yā yādisā …pe…
whoever …
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:2.3
bhikkhunīti
Nun:
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:2.4
…pe… ayaṁ imasmiṁ atthe adhippetā bhikkhunīti.
… The nun who has been given the full ordination in unanimity by both Sanghas through a legal procedure consisting of one motion and three announcements that is irreversible and fit to stand—this sort of nun is meant in this case.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:2.5
Ajjhokāso nāma
Out in the open:
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:2.6
appaṭicchanno hoti kuṭṭena vā kavāṭena vā kilañjena vā sāṇipākārena vā rukkhena vā thambhena vā kotthaḷiyā vā, yena kenaci appaṭicchanno hoti.
not concealed by a wall, a door, a screen, a cloth screen, a tree, a pillar, a grain container, or anything else.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:2.7
Puriso nāma
A man:
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:2.8
manussapuriso, na yakkho na peto na tiracchānagato, viññū paṭibalo santiṭṭhituṁ sallapituṁ.
a human male, not a male spirit, not a male ghost, not a male animal. He understands and is capable of standing together and talking.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:2.9
Saddhinti
With:
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:2.10
ekato.
together.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:2.11
Ekenekāti
Alone:
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:2.12
puriso ceva hoti bhikkhunī ca.
just the man and the nun.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:2.13
Santiṭṭheyya vāti
Stands with:
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:2.14

Sallapeyya vāti

- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:2.16
purisassa hatthapāse ṭhitā sallapati, āpatti pācittiyassa.
if she stands talking within arm’s reach of the man, she commits an offense entailing confession.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:2.17
Hatthapāsaṁ vijahitvā santiṭṭhati vā sallapati vā, āpatti dukkaṭassa.
If she stands or talks outside of arm’s reach, she commits an offense of wrong conduct.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:2.18
Yakkhena vā petena vā paṇḍakena vā tiracchānagatamanussaviggahena vā saddhiṁ santiṭṭhati vā sallapati vā, āpatti dukkaṭassa.
If she stands or talks with a male spirit, a male ghost, a paṇḍaka, or a male animal in human form, she commits an offense of wrong conduct.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:2.19.1
Anāpatti—
There is no offense:
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:2.20
yo koci viññū dutiyo hoti,
if she has a companion who understands;
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:2.21
arahopekkhā,
if she is not seeking privacy;
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:2.22
aññavihitā santiṭṭhati vā sallapati vā,
if she stands or talks thinking of something else;
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:2.23
ummattikāya,
if she is insane;
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:2.24
ādikammikāyāti.
if she is the first offender.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc13:2.25
Tatiyasikkhāpadaṁ niṭṭhitaṁ.
