386. Atha kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi – ‘‘nadānāhaṃ, bhikkhave, ito paraṃ uposathaṃ karissāmi, pātimokkhaṃ uddisissāmi. Tumhevadāni, bhikkhave, ito paraṃ uposathaṃ kareyyātha, pātimokkhaṃ uddiseyyātha. Aṭṭhānametaṃ, bhikkhave, anavakāso yaṃ tathāgato aparisuddhāya parisāya uposathaṃ kareyya, pātimokkhaṃ uddiseyya. Na ca, bhikkhave ², sāpattikena pātimokkhaṃ sotabbaṃ. Yo suṇeyya, āpatti dukkaṭassa. Anujānāmi, bhikkhave, yo sāpattiko pātimokkhaṃ suṇāti, tassa pātimokkhaṃ ṭhapetuṃ. Evañca pana, bhikkhave, ṭhapetabbaṃ. Tadahuposathe cātuddase vā pannarase vā tasmiṃ puggale sammukhībhūte saṅghamajjhe udāharitabbaṃ –

‘Suṇātu me bhante, saṅgho. Itthannāmo puggalo sāpattiko, tassa pātimokkhaṃ ṭhapemi, na tasmiṃ sammukhībhūte pātimokkhaṃ uddisitabba’nti ṭhapitaṃ hoti pātimokkha’’nti.

Tena kho pana samayena chabbaggiyā bhikkhū ‘nāmhe koci jānātī’ti sāpattikāva pātimokkhaṃ suṇanti. Therā bhikkhū paracittaviduno bhikkhūnaṃ ārocenti – ‘‘itthannāmo ca itthannāmo ca, āvuso, chabbaggiyā bhikkhū ‘nāmhe koci jānātī’ti sāpattikāva pātimokkhaṃ suṇantī’’ti. Assosuṃ kho chabbaggiyā bhikkhū – ‘‘therā kira bhikkhū paracittaviduno amhe bhikkhūnaṃ ārocenti – itthannāmo ca itthannāmo ca, āvuso, chabbaggiyā bhikkhū ‘nāmhe koci jānātī’ti sāpattikāva pātimokkhaṃ suṇantī’’ti.
