[436] **"Whatever" (yā pana):** whoever, of whatever kind … . **"Bhikkhunī":** … this is the bhikkhunī intended in this sense. **"By giving stale consent (pārivāsikacchandadānena)":** when the assembly has risen (dispersed). **"Sikkhamānā (probationer)"** means: one who has trained in the training in the six dhammas for two years. **"Should ordain (vuṭṭhāpeyya)":** should give the full ordination (upasampādeyya). Thinking, "I will ordain (her)," she searches for a group (gaṇa), or a teacher (ācarinī), or a bowl, or a robe, or she determines a boundary (sīmā): an offense of wrong-doing (dukkaṭa). For the motion (ñatti), an offense of wrong-doing; for the two proclamations of the formal act (kammavācā), offenses of wrong-doing; at the conclusion of the proclamation of the formal act, for the preceptor (upajjhāyā) an offense entailing expiation (pācittiya), and for the group and the teacher an offense of wrong-doing. ¹ M. and Yu. editions read *vuṭṭhāpesi*; it appears thus in all places.
