   Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.

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

   At that time the senior monks who were instructing the nuns received robe-cloth, almsfood, dwellings, and medicinal supplies.

    Atha kho chabbaggiyānaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ etadahosi—

    When the monks from the group of six found out about this,

11. 11

    “एतरहिe·ta·ra·hi खो,kho आवुसो,ā·vu·so थेराthe·rā भिक्खूbhik·khū भिक्खुनियोbhik·khu·ni·yo ओवदन्ताo·va·dan·tā लाभिनोlā·bhi·no होन्तिhon·ti चीवरपिण्डपातसेनासनगिलानप्पच्चयभेसज्जपरिक्खारानं।cī·va·ra·piṇ·ḍa·pā·ta·se·nā·sa·na·gi·lā·nap·pac·ca·ya·bhe·saj·ja·pa·rik·khā·rā·naṃ

    they thought, “Well then, let’s instruct the nuns.”

13. 13

    अथa·tha खोkho छब्बग्गियाchab·bag·gi·yā भिक्खूbhik·khū भिक्खुनियोbhik·khu·ni·yo उपसङ्कमित्वाu·pa·saṅ·ka·mit·vā एतदवोचुं—“अम्हेपि,e·ta·da·vo·cuṃ भगिनियो,bha·gi·ni·yo उपसङ्कमथ;u·pa·saṅ·ka·ma·tha मयम्पिma·yam·pi ओवदिस्सामा”ति।o·va·dis·sā·mā

    Atha kho chabbaggiyā bhikkhū bhikkhuniyo upasaṅkamitvā etadavocuṁ—“amhepi, bhaginiyo, upasaṅkamatha; mayampi ovadissāmā”ti.

    They then went to the nuns and said, “Come to us, sisters, and we too will instruct you.”

14. 14

    अथa·tha खोkho ताtā भिक्खुनियोbhik·khu·ni·yo येनye·na छब्बग्गियाchab·bag·gi·yā भिक्खूbhik·khū तेनुपसङ्कमिंसु;te·nu·pa·saṅ·ka·miṃ·su

    Atha kho tā bhikkhuniyo yena chabbaggiyā bhikkhū tenupasaṅkamiṁsu;

    Soon afterwards those nuns went to the monks from the group of six,

15. 15

    bowed, and sat down.

16. 16

    But after giving just a short teaching, those monks spent the day on worldly talk. They then dismissed the nuns, saying, “Go, sisters.”

17. 17

    अथa·tha खोkho ताtā भिक्खुनियोbhik·khu·ni·yo येनye·na भगवाbha·ga·vā तेनुपसङ्कमिंसु;te·nu·pa·saṅ·ka·miṃ·su उपसङ्कमित्वाu·pa·saṅ·ka·mit·vā भगवन्तंbha·ga·van·taṃ अभिवादेत्वाa·bhi·vā·det·vā एकमन्तंe·ka·man·taṃ अट्ठंसु।aṭ·ṭhaṃ·su एकमन्तंe·ka·man·taṃ ठिताṭhi·tā खोkho ताtā भिक्खुनियोbhik·khu·ni·yo भगवाbha·ga·vā एतदवोच—“कच्चि,e·ta·da·vo·ca भिक्खुनियो,bhik·khu·ni·yo ओवादोo·vā·do इद्धोid·dho अहोसी”ति?a·ho·sī

    The nuns went to the Buddha and bowed, and the Buddha said to them, “Nuns, I hope the instruction was effective?”

18. 18

    “कुतो,ku·to भन्ते,bhan·te ओवादोo·vā·do इद्धोid·dho भविस्सति।bha·vis·sa·ti

    “Kuto, bhante, ovādo iddho bhavissati.

    “Sir, how could the instruction be effective?

    After giving just a short teaching, the monks from the group of six spent the day on worldly talk, and then dismissed us.”

20. 20

    Atha kho bhagavā tā bhikkhuniyo dhammiyā kathāya sandassesi samādapesi samuttejesi sampahaṁsesi.

    The Buddha instructed, inspired, and gladdened those nuns with a teaching.

21. 21

    The nuns bowed, circumambulated the Buddha with their right sides toward him, and left.

22. 22

    Atha kho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe bhikkhusaṅghaṁ sannipātāpetvā chabbaggiye bhikkhū paṭipucchi—

    Soon afterwards the Buddha had the Sangha gathered and questioned the monks from the group of six:

23. 23

    “सच्चंsac·caṃ किरki·ra तुम्हे,tum·he भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve भिक्खुनीनंbhik·khu·nī·naṃ परित्तञ्ञेवpa·rit·tañ·ñe·va धम्मिंdham·miṃ कथंka·thaṃ कत्वाkat·vā दिवसंdi·va·saṃ तिरच्छानकथायti·rac·chā·na·ka·thā·ya वीतिनामेत्वाvī·ti·nā·met·vā उय्योजेथा”ति?uy·yo·je·thā

    “Is it true, monks, that you acted like this?”

24. 24

    “सच्चं,sac·caṃ भगवा”ति।bha·ga·vā

    “Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.

    “It’s true, sir.”

25. 25

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

    The Buddha rebuked them …

26. 26

    “Foolish men, how could you act like this?

    After rebuking them …

29. 29

    dhammiṁ kathaṁ katvā bhikkhū āmantesi—

    he gave a teaching and addressed the monks:

30. 30

    “अनुजानामि,a·nu·jā·nā·mi भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve भिक्खुनोवादकंbhik·khu·no·vā·da·kaṃ सम्मन्नितुं।sam·man·ni·tuṃ

    “anujānāmi, bhikkhave, bhikkhunovādakaṁ sammannituṁ.

    “Monks, you should appoint an instructor of the nuns.

31. 31

    एवञ्चe·vañ·ca पन,pa·na भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve सम्मन्नितब्बो।sam·man·ni·tab·bo

    Evañca pana, bhikkhave, sammannitabbo.

    And he should be appointed like this.

32. 32

    पठमंpa·ṭha·maṃ भिक्खुbhik·khu याचितब्बो।yā·ci·tab·bo

    Paṭhamaṁ bhikkhu yācitabbo.

    First a monk should be asked

    Yācitvā byattena bhikkhunā paṭibalena saṅgho ñāpetabbo—

    and then a competent and capable monk should inform the Sangha:

34. 34

    ‘सुणातुsu·ṇā·tu मे,me भन्ते,bhan·te सङ्घो।saṅ·gho

    ‘Suṇātu me, bhante, saṅgho.

    Then, after rebuking the monks from the group of six in many ways, the Buddha spoke in dispraise of being difficult to support …
