Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.

At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery.

Tena kho pana samayena chabbaggiyā bhikkhuniyo udake uccārampi passāvampi kheḷampi karonti.

At that time the nuns from the group of six were defecating, urinating, and spitting in water.

Manussā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—

People complained and criticized them,
11

“कथञ्हिka·thañ·hi नामnā·ma भिक्खुनियोbhik·khu·ni·yo उदकेu·da·ke उच्चारम्पिuc·cā·ram·pi पस्सावम्पिpas·sā·vam·pi खेळम्पिkhe·ḷam·pi करिस्सन्ति,ka·ris·san·ti सेय्यथापिsey·ya·thā·pi गिहिनियोgi·hi·ni·yo कामभोगिनियो”ति।kā·ma·bho·gi·ni·yo

“kathañhi nāma bhikkhuniyo udake uccārampi passāvampi kheḷampi karissanti, seyyathāpi gihiniyo kāmabhoginiyo”ti.

“How can nuns defecate, urinate, and spit in water? They’re just like householders who indulge in worldly pleasures!”
12

Assosuṁ kho bhikkhuniyo tesaṁ manussānaṁ ujjhāyantānaṁ khiyyantānaṁ vipācentānaṁ.

The nuns heard the complaints of those people,
13

Yā tā bhikkhuniyo appicchā, tā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—

and the nuns of few desires complained and criticized them,
14

“कथञ्हिka·thañ·hi नामnā·ma छब्बग्गियाchab·bag·gi·yā भिक्खुनियोbhik·khu·ni·yo उदकेu·da·ke उच्चारम्पिuc·cā·ram·pi पस्सावम्पिpas·sā·vam·pi खेळम्पिkhe·ḷam·pi करिस्सन्ती”ति।ka·ris·san·tī

“kathañhi nāma chabbaggiyā bhikkhuniyo udake uccārampi passāvampi kheḷampi karissantī”ti.

“How can the nuns from the group of six defecate, urinate, and spit in water?”
15

अथa·tha खोkho भिक्खुनियोbhik·khu·ni·yo भिक्खूनंbhik·khū·naṃ एतमत्थंe·ta·mat·thaṃ आरोचेसुं।ā·ro·ce·suṃ

Atha kho bhikkhuniyo bhikkhūnaṁ etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.

The nuns told the monks,
16

Bhikkhū bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.

who in turn told the Buddha.
17

अथa·tha खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā …पे…pe

Atha kho bhagavā …pe…

Soon afterwards the Buddha had the Sangha gathered
18

भिक्खूbhik·khū पटिपुच्छि—pa·ṭi·puc·chi

bhikkhū paṭipucchi—

and questioned the monks:
19

“सच्चंsac·caṃ किर,ki·ra भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve छब्बग्गियाchab·bag·gi·yā भिक्खुनियोbhik·khu·ni·yo उदकेu·da·ke उच्चारम्पिuc·cā·ram·pi पस्सावम्पिpas·sā·vam·pi खेळम्पिkhe·ḷam·pi करोन्ती”ति?ka·ron·tī

“saccaṁ kira, bhikkhave, chabbaggiyā bhikkhuniyo udake uccārampi passāvampi kheḷampi karontī”ti?

“Is it true, monks, that those nuns do this?”
20

“सच्चं,sac·caṃ भगवा”ति।bha·ga·vā

“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.

“It’s true, sir.”
21

विगरहिvi·ga·ra·hi बुद्धोbud·dho भगवाbha·ga·vā …पे…pe

Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…

The Buddha rebuked them …
22

कथञ्हिka·thañ·hi नाम,nā·ma भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve छब्बग्गियाchab·bag·gi·yā भिक्खुनियोbhik·khu·ni·yo उदकेu·da·ke उच्चारम्पिuc·cā·ram·pi पस्सावम्पिpas·sā·vam·pi खेळम्पिkhe·ḷam·pi करिस्सन्ति।ka·ris·san·ti

kathañhi nāma, bhikkhave, chabbaggiyā bhikkhuniyo udake uccārampi passāvampi kheḷampi karissanti.

“How can the nuns from the group of six do this?
23

नेतं,ne·taṃ भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve अप्पसन्नानंap·pa·san·nā·naṃ वाvā पसादायpa·sā·dā·ya …पे…pe

Netaṁ, bhikkhave, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…

This will affect people’s confidence …” …
24

evañca pana, bhikkhave, bhikkhuniyo imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddisantu—

“And, monks, the nuns should recite this training rule like this:
25

Preliminary ruling
26

“नna उदकेu·da·ke उच्चारंuc·cā·raṃ वाvā पस्सावंpas·sā·vaṃ वाvā खेळंkhe·ḷaṃ वाvā करिस्सामीतिka·ris·sā·mī·ti सिक्खाsik·khā करणीया”ति।ka·ra·ṇī·yā

“Na udake uccāraṁ vā passāvaṁ vā kheḷaṁ vā karissāmīti sikkhā karaṇīyā”ti.

‘“I will not defecate, urinate, or spit in water,” this is how you should train.’”
27

एवञ्चिदंe·vañ·ci·daṃ भगवताbha·ga·va·tā भिक्खुनीनंbhik·khu·nī·naṃ सिक्खापदंsik·khā·pa·daṃ पञ्ञत्तंpañ·ñat·taṃ होति।ho·ti

Evañcidaṁ bhagavatā bhikkhunīnaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ paññattaṁ hoti.

In this way the Buddha laid down this training rule for the nuns.
28

Second substory
29

तेनte·na खोkho पनpa·na समयेनsa·ma·ye·na गिलानाgi·lā·nā भिक्खुनियोbhik·khu·ni·yo उदकेu·da·ke उच्चारम्पिuc·cā·ram·pi पस्सावम्पिpas·sā·vam·pi खेळम्पिkhe·ḷam·pi कातुंkā·tuṃ कुक्कुच्चायन्ति।kuk·kuc·cā·yan·ti

Tena kho pana samayena gilānā bhikkhuniyo udake uccārampi passāvampi kheḷampi kātuṁ kukkuccāyanti.

Soon afterwards, being afraid of wrongdoing, sick nuns did not defecate, urinate, or spit in water.
30

भगवतोbha·ga·va·to एतमत्थंe·ta·mat·thaṃ आरोचेसुंā·ro·ce·suṃ …पे…pe

Bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ …pe…

They told the Buddha. He then had the Sangha gathered and addressed the monks:
31

अनुजानामि,a·nu·jā·nā·mi भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve गिलानायgi·lā·nā·ya भिक्खुनियाbhik·khu·ni·yā उदकेu·da·ke उच्चारम्पिuc·cā·ram·pi पस्सावम्पिpas·sā·vam·pi खेळम्पिkhe·ḷam·pi कातुं।kā·tuṃ

anujānāmi, bhikkhave, gilānāya bhikkhuniyā udake uccārampi passāvampi kheḷampi kātuṁ.

“Monks, I allow a sick nun to defecate, urinate, and spit in water.
32

एवञ्चe·vañ·ca पन,pa·na भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve भिक्खुनियोbhik·khu·ni·yo इमंi·maṃ सिक्खापदंsik·khā·pa·daṃ उद्दिसन्तु—ud·di·san·tu

Evañca pana, bhikkhave, bhikkhuniyo imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddisantu—

And so, monks, the nuns should recite this training rule like this:
33

Final ruling
34

“नna उदकेu·da·ke अगिलानाa·gi·lā·nā उच्चारंuc·cā·raṃ वाvā पस्सावंpas·sā·vaṃ वाvā खेळंkhe·ḷaṃ वाvā करिस्सामीतिka·ris·sā·mī·ti सिक्खाsik·khā करणीया”ति।ka·ra·ṇī·yā

“Na udake agilānā uccāraṁ vā passāvaṁ vā kheḷaṁ vā karissāmīti sikkhā karaṇīyā”ti.

‘“When not sick, I will not defecate, urinate, or spit in water,” this is how you should train.’”
35

नna उदकेu·da·ke अगिलानायa·gi·lā·nā·ya उच्चारोuc·cā·ro वाvā पस्सावोpas·sā·vo वाvā खेळोkhe·ḷo वाvā कातब्बो।kā·tab·bo

Na udake agilānāya uccāro vā passāvo vā kheḷo vā kātabbo.

If one is not sick, one should not defecate, urinate, or spit in water.
36

याyā अनादरियंa·nā·da·ri·yaṃ पटिच्चpa·ṭic·ca उदकेu·da·ke अगिलानाa·gi·lā·nā उच्चारंuc·cā·raṃ वाvā पस्सावंpas·sā·vaṃ वाvā खेळंkhe·ḷaṃ वाvā करोति,ka·ro·ti आपत्तिā·pat·ti दुक्कटस्स।duk·ka·ṭas·sa

Yā anādariyaṁ paṭicca udake agilānā uccāraṁ vā passāvaṁ vā kheḷaṁ vā karoti, āpatti dukkaṭassa.

If, out of disrespect, a nun who is not sick defecates, urinates, or spits in water, she commits an offense of wrong conduct.
