60. Pasākhejātasikkhāpada

The training rule on what is growing on the lower part of the body

Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.
At one time when the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery,

Tena kho pana samayena aññatarā bhikkhunī pasākhe jātaṁ gaṇḍaṁ purisena saddhiṁ ekenekā bhedāpesi.
a certain nun was alone with a man, when she had him rupture an abscess growing on the lower part of her body.

Atha kho so puriso taṁ bhikkhuniṁ dūsetuṁ upakkami.
When he tried to rape her,

Sā vissaramakāsi.
she cried out.

Bhikkhuniyo upadhāvitvā taṁ bhikkhuniṁ etadavocuṁ—
The nuns rushed up and asked her why.

“kissa tvaṁ, ayye, vissaramakāsī”ti?

Atha kho sā bhikkhunī bhikkhunīnaṁ etamatthaṁ ārocesi.
And she told them what had happened.

Yā tā bhikkhuniyo appicchā …pe… tā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
The nuns of few desires complained and criticized her,

“kathañhi nāma bhikkhunī pasākhe jātaṁ gaṇḍaṁ purisena saddhiṁ ekenekā bhedāpessatī”ti …pe…
“How could a nun be alone with a man and have him rupture an abscess growing on the lower part of her body?” …

“saccaṁ kira, bhikkhave, bhikkhunī pasākhe jātaṁ gaṇḍaṁ purisena saddhiṁ ekenekā bhedāpetī”ti?
“Is it true, monks, that a nun did this?”

“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.
“It’s true, Sir.”

Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…
The Buddha rebuked her …

kathañhi nāma, bhikkhave, bhikkhunī pasākhe jātaṁ gaṇḍaṁ purisena saddhiṁ ekenekā bhedāpessati.
“How could a nun do this?

Netaṁ, bhikkhave, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…
This will affect people’s confidence …” …

evañca pana, bhikkhave, bhikkhuniyo imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddisantu—
“And, monks, the nuns should recite this training rule like this:

“Yā pana bhikkhunī pasākhe jātaṁ gaṇḍaṁ vā rudhitaṁ vā anapaloketvā saṅghaṁ vā gaṇaṁ vā purisena saddhiṁ ekenekā bhedāpeyya vā phālāpeyya vā dhovāpeyya vā ālimpāpeyya vā bandhāpeyya vā mocāpeyya vā, pācittiyan”ti.
‘If a nun, alone with a man, without getting permission from the Sangha or a group, has an abscess or a wound situated on the lower part of her body ruptured by him, or split open, washed, anointed, bandaged, or unwrapped by him, she commits an offense entailing confession.’”

Yā panāti
A:

whoever …

bhikkhunīti
Nun:

…pe… ayaṁ imasmiṁ atthe adhippetā bhikkhunīti.
