Wonderful! The next ten are on their way!
Bi Pc 28 segment 12:
Yā tā bhikkhuniyo appicchā, tā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti— appears here in one segment; usually it’s divided into two. I marked “needs work”.
Since you are doing so well, perhaps I should send you 20 rules instead. Bhikkhunī pācittiyas 31-50 are on their way.
Bi Pc 47 segment 27:
washes it one the fourth day
Should be on the fourth day (corrected).
By the way, I find this rule a bit puzzling: It seems to say that the nuns in a monastery did share the same underwear—was that indeed the hygiene standard of the time???
Well, we don’t know much about these things apart from a few scattered rules, such as this one. And it’s not underwear in a modern sense; it would have been an alternative antaravāsaka, a sarong.
I’ve now finished Pc 31–50 and humbly ask for the next portion, please!
I shall be most delighted to send you the next 20 rules! Consider them on their way.
Bi Pc 60 segments 13, 14
Pali: Yā tā bhikkhuniyo appicchā … pe … tā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
English: The nuns complained and criticized her,
I’m missing “the nuns of few desires” here.
I mark it “needs work”.
Thanks for picking up on this. I have now corrected it and removed the “needs work”.
Bi Pc 68 segment 34
na aññaṃ āṇāpeyya “dve vassāni neva anuggaṇhissāmi na anuggaṇhāpessāmī”ti dhuraṃ nikkhittamatte āpatti pācittiyassa.
In the Pali this whole passage is in one segment.
In the English there is not only a paragraph brake in between but even a horizontal rule. The first part na aññaṃ āṇāpeyya is actually the gloss to the term Na anuggaṇhāpeyyāti, and what follows then is something different; the English formatting seems more logical. In other rules similar passages are indeed consisting of two different segments.
So I put it in the same segment but mark “needs work”.
Bhikkhuni Pacittiya 51–70 are done; impatiently waiting for the next portion!
Excellent! There are only 26 rules left of the pācittiyas. Since you are doing so well, I might as well send them all in one go.
Thank you! I’ll let you know what I’ve done portion by portion so that you know what’s available for you again.
Good idea!
Bi Pc 72 segment 38
That an unmarried girl who is eighteen years old should be told to say this:
Should be only That unmarried girl…—is corrected.
Bi Pc 76 segment 21
English: The Buddha criticized them, “… How can the nun Caṇḍakāḷī consent to not being approved to give a full ordination, and then criticize it afterwards?
Shouldn’t it be criticized her?—I changed it.
Yes, thank you. This is the sort of error that occurs because of uncritical copying and pasting.
Pc 71–80 are finished.
Sādhu! Sādhu!! Sādhu!!!
