   Tena kho pana samayena chabbaggiyā bhikkhuniyo tiracchānavijjaṁ vācenti.

   At that time the nuns from the group of six were teaching worldly subjects.

10. pli-tv-bi-vb-pc50:1.5

    Assosuṁ kho bhikkhuniyo tesaṁ manussānaṁ ujjhāyantānaṁ khiyyantānaṁ vipācentānaṁ.

11. pli-tv-bi-vb-pc50:1.6

    Yā tā bhikkhuniyo appicchā …pe… tā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—

12. pli-tv-bi-vb-pc50:1.7

    “kathañhi nāma chabbaggiyā bhikkhuniyo tiracchānavijjaṁ vācessantī”ti …pe…

    “How can the nuns from the group of six do this?” …

13. pli-tv-bi-vb-pc50:1.8

    “saccaṁ kira, bhikkhave, chabbaggiyā bhikkhuniyo tiracchānavijjaṁ vācentī”ti?

    “Is it true, monks, that those nuns do this?”

14. pli-tv-bi-vb-pc50:1.9

    “It’s true, sir.”

15. pli-tv-bi-vb-pc50:1.10

19. pli-tv-bi-vb-pc50:1.14.1

    “Yā pana bhikkhunī tiracchānavijjaṁ vāceyya, pācittiyan”ti.

    ‘If a nun teaches worldly subjects, she commits an offense entailing confession.’”

21. pli-tv-bi-vb-pc50:2.2

    yā yādisā …pe…

    whoever …

22. pli-tv-bi-vb-pc50:2.3

    bhikkhunīti

    Nun:

23. pli-tv-bi-vb-pc50:2.4

    …pe… ayaṁ imasmiṁ atthe adhippetā bhikkhunīti.

    There is no offense:

30. pli-tv-bi-vb-pc50:2.11

    if she teaches writing;

31. pli-tv-bi-vb-pc50:2.12

32. pli-tv-bi-vb-pc50:2.13
