Ārāmavaggasikkhābada

Vinayapiṭaka · Bhikkhunī Vibhaṅga · Vol. 3 · Section 350

[350] **"Whatever" (yā pana):** means whoever, of whatever sort … **"Bhikkhunī":** … this is the bhikkhunī intended in this sense. A residence (āvāsa) called **"without a bhikkhu" (abhikkhuka)** is one from which it is not possible to go for the exhortation (ovāda) or for communion (saṃvāsa). Thinking, "I shall spend the rains (vassa)," she prepares a lodging (senāsana), sets out drinking water and water for washing, and sweeps the surrounding yard (pariveṇa): an offense of wrong-doing (dukkaṭa). Together with the arising of dawn: an offense entailing expiation (pācittiya).
