being found among the actions that are the bases for offenses, being found among the failures, being found among the offenses, being found among the origin stories, being found among persons, being found among the classes, being found among the originations, being found among the legal issues, and being found among the settling of legal issues.
Adhikaraṇe samuppanne sace ubho atthapaccatthikā āgacchanti ubhinnampi vatthu ārocāpetabbaṁ.
When a legal issue has arisen, if the two opponents come, they should be told to inform about the action that was the basis for the disagreement.
Ubhinnampi vatthuṁ ārocāpetvā ubhinnampi paṭiññā sotabbā.
After hearing the testimony of both,
Ubhinnampi paṭiññaṁ sutvā ubhopi vattabbā—
they should be told,
“amhākaṁ imasmiṁ adhikaraṇe vūpasamite ubhopi tuṭṭhā bhavissathā”ti.
‘When we’ve resolved this legal issue, you should both be satisfied.’
Sace āhaṁsu—
If they say,
“ubhopi tuṭṭhā bhavissāmā”ti, saṅghena taṁ adhikaraṇaṁ sampaṭicchitabbaṁ.
‘We’ll both be satisfied,’ then the Sangha should take on that legal issue.
Sace alajjussannā hoti, parisā ubbāhikāya vūpasametabbaṁ.
If there are many shameless people in the gathering, then the issue should be resolved by means of a committee.
Sace bālussannā hoti, parisā vinayadharo pariyesitabbo yena dhammena yena vinayena yena satthusāsanena taṁ adhikaraṇaṁ vūpasammati.
If there are many ignorant people in the gathering, they should search for an expert on the Monastic Law to resolve that legal issue in accordance with the Teaching, the Monastic Law, and the Teacher’s instruction.

That legal issue should be resolved in this way.
