[1080] How should the accuser (codaka) proceed? How should the accused (cuditaka) proceed? How should the Saṅgha proceed? How should the examiner (anuvijjaka) proceed?
"How should the accuser proceed?" The accuser, having established himself in five dhammas, should reprove another: "I will speak at the right time, not at the wrong time; I will speak with truth, not with untruth; I will speak gently, not harshly; I will speak what is connected with benefit, not what is unconnected with benefit; I will speak with a mind of loving-kindness, not with inner hatred (dosa)." Thus should the accuser proceed.
"How should the accused proceed?" The accused should establish himself in two dhammas: in truth and in non-anger. Thus should the accused proceed.
"How should the Saṅgha proceed?" The Saṅgha should know what has been brought forward and what has not been brought forward. Thus should the Saṅgha proceed.
"How should the examiner proceed?" The examiner should settle that legal issue (adhikaraṇa) in accordance with the Dhamma, the Vinaya, and the Teacher's instruction by which that legal issue is settled. Thus should the examiner proceed.
