Nissaggiyakaṇḍa

Vinayapiṭaka · Bhikkhunī Vibhaṅga · Vol. 3 · Section 97

[97] That bhikkhunī should approach a certain bhikkhunī, arrange her upper robe over one shoulder, sit down on her heels, raise her hands in añjali, and say to her: "Venerable lady (ayye), this bowl of mine has passed beyond the night; it is to be relinquished (nissaggiya). I relinquish it to the venerable lady." Having relinquished it, the offense (āpatti) is to be confessed. The offense is to be acknowledged by that bhikkhunī. The relinquished bowl is to be given back: "I give this bowl to the venerable lady."
