the nun Thullanandā

“sikkhamānaṁ vuṭṭhāpessāmī”ti there bhikkhū sannipātetvā pahūtaṁ khādanīyaṁ bhojanīyaṁ passitvā—
had gathered a group of senior monks, intending to give the full admission to a trainee nun. But after seeing much fresh and cooked food, she dismissed the senior monks, saying,
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc81:1.4
“na tāvāhaṁ, ayyā, sikkhamānaṁ vuṭṭhāpessāmī”ti there bhikkhū uyyojetvā devadattaṁ kokālikaṁ kaṭamodakatissakaṁ khaṇḍadeviyā puttaṁ samuddadattaṁ sannipātetvā sikkhamānaṁ vuṭṭhāpesi.
“Venerables, I won’t give the full admission to the trainee nun just yet.” She then gathered Devadatta, Kokālika, Kaṭamodakatissaka, Khaṇḍadeviyāputta, and Samuddadatta, and gave the full admission to that trainee nun.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc81:1.5
Yā tā bhikkhuniyo appicchā …pe… tā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
The nuns of few desires complained and criticized her,
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc81:1.6
“kathañhi nāma ayyā thullanandā pārivāsikachandadānena sikkhamānaṁ vuṭṭhāpessatī”ti …pe…
“How could Venerable Thullanandā give the full admission to a trainee nun when the given consent had expired?” …
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc81:1.7
“saccaṁ kira, bhikkhave, thullanandā bhikkhunī pārivāsikachandadānena sikkhamānaṁ vuṭṭhāpetī”ti?
“Is it true, monks, that the nun Thullanandā did this?”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc81:1.8
“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.
“It’s true, sir.”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc81:1.9
Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…
The Buddha rebuked her …
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc81:1.10
kathañhi nāma, bhikkhave, thullanandā bhikkhunī pārivāsikachandadānena sikkhamānaṁ vuṭṭhāpessati.
“How could the nun Thullanandā do this?
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc81:1.11
Netaṁ, bhikkhave, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…
This will affect people’s confidence …” …
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc81:1.12
evañca pana, bhikkhave, bhikkhuniyo imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddisantu—
“And, monks, the nuns should recite this training rule like this:
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc81:1.13.1
“Yā pana bhikkhunī pārivāsikachandadānena sikkhamānaṁ vuṭṭhāpeyya, pācittiyan”ti.
‘If, when a given consent has expired, a nun gives the full admission to a trainee nun, she commits an offense entailing confession.’”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc81:2.1.1
Yā panāti
A:
