[1195] "Venerable sir, when a bhikkhu is possessed of how many factors should he not be entrusted with an interrogation (anuyoga)?"
"Upāli, a bhikkhu possessed of five factors should not be entrusted with an interrogation. Which five? He does not know what is an offence (āpatti) and what is not an offence; he does not know a light offence and a grave offence; he does not know an offence with remainder and an offence without remainder; he does not know a depraved offence and an offence that is not depraved; he does not know an offence that can be remedied and an offence that cannot be remedied. Upāli, a bhikkhu possessed of these five factors should not be entrusted with an interrogation.
