[516] "If, Ānanda, Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī accepts eight weighty principles (garudhammā), let that itself be her full ordination (upasampadā):
A bhikkhunī, even one ordained for a hundred years, must perform reverential salutation, rising up, the gesture of añjali, and proper acts of respect toward a **bhikkhu** ordained that very day. This principle too is to be honored, respected, esteemed, and venerated, and is not to be transgressed for as long as life lasts.
A bhikkhunī must not spend the rains in a residence where there is no bhikkhu. This principle too is to be honored, respected, esteemed, and venerated, and is not to be transgressed for as long as life lasts.
Every half-month a bhikkhunī should expect two things from the Saṅgha of bhikkhus: asking about the Uposatha day and approaching for the exhortation (ovāda). This principle too is to be honored, respected, esteemed, and venerated, and is not to be transgressed for as long as life lasts.
Having completed the rains, a bhikkhunī must give the invitation (pavāraṇā) before both Saṅghas with respect to three grounds: by what has been seen, by what has been heard, or by what is suspected. This principle too is to be honored, respected, esteemed, and venerated, and is not to be transgressed for as long as life lasts.
A bhikkhunī who has transgressed a weighty principle must undergo the mānatta discipline for a half-month before both Saṅghas. This principle too is to be honored, respected, esteemed, and venerated, and is not to be transgressed for as long as life lasts.
A probationer (sikkhamānā) who has trained for two years in the six rules must seek full ordination from both Saṅghas. This principle too is to be honored, respected, esteemed, and venerated, and is not to be transgressed for as long as life lasts.
A bhikkhunī must not in any manner abuse or revile a bhikkhu. This principle too is to be honored, respected, esteemed, and venerated, and is not to be transgressed for as long as life lasts.
From this day forward, the avenue of speech (admonition) of bhikkhunīs toward bhikkhus is closed; the avenue of speech of bhikkhus toward bhikkhunīs is not closed. This principle too is to be honored, respected, esteemed, and venerated, and is not to be transgressed for as long as life lasts.
If, Ānanda, Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī accepts these eight weighty principles, let that itself be her full ordination."
