[278] **"That bhikkhunī"** means: that **bhikkhunī** who lives in company (saṃsaṭṭhā).
**"By bhikkhunīs"** means: by other bhikkhunīs — those who see her and those who hear of it; by them she should be admonished thus: "Lady, do not live in company with a householder (gahapati) or with a householder's son. Withdraw, lady; it is only seclusion that the Saṅgha praises for the sister." She should be admonished a second time; she should be admonished a third time. If she relinquishes it, that is good; if she does not relinquish it, there is an offense of wrong-doing (āpatti dukkaṭassa).
If, having heard of it, they do not admonish her, there is an offense of wrong-doing (dukkaṭa).
That bhikkhunī, having been drawn even into the midst of the Saṅgha, should be admonished thus: "Lady, do not live in company with a householder or with a householder's son. Withdraw, lady; it is only seclusion that the Saṅgha praises for the sister." She should be admonished a second time; she should be admonished a third time. If she relinquishes it, that is good; if she does not relinquish it, there is an offense of wrong-doing (dukkaṭa).
