[16] **"This one too" (ayampi):** this is said with reference to the previous ones.
**"Is pārājikā":** just as a withered leaf, released from its stem, is incapable of becoming green again, even so a bhikkhunī who, knowing that a bhikkhunī has committed an offense entailing expulsion (pārājika), casts off the responsibility, [thinking,] "I will neither reprove her myself nor inform the group" — at the mere casting off of the responsibility she is no ascetic, not a daughter of the Sakyan. Therefore it is said, "she is pārājikā."
**"Not in communion" (asaṃvāsā):** communion (saṃvāsa) means a single [formal] act, a single recitation, equality of training — this is called communion. That does not exist together with her; therefore it is said, "not in communion."
