[494] Venerable ladies, the eight rules to be acknowledged (pāṭidesanīya dhammas) have been recited.
Concerning them I ask the venerable ladies: Are you pure in this matter? A second time I ask: Are you pure in this matter? A third time I ask: Are you pure in this matter? The venerable ladies are pure in this matter; therefore they are silent. Thus do I hold it.
The Pāṭidesanīyas are concluded.¹
