[825] On account of asking for curds (dadhi) and then eating them, how many offenses (āpatti) does one commit? On account of asking for curds and then eating them, one commits two offenses: in accepting them, thinking "I shall eat," there is an offense of wrong-doing (dukkaṭa); for every mouthful swallowed, there is an offense to be acknowledged (pāṭidesanīya). On account of asking for curds and then eating them, one commits these two offenses. Of the four failures (vipatti), how many failures do those offenses pertain to? Of the seven classes of offense (āpattikkhandha), by how many classes of offense are they comprised? Of the six origins of offenses (samuṭṭhāna), by how many origins do they arise? Of the four legal issues (adhikaraṇa), which legal issue are they? Of the seven means of settlement (samatha), by how many means of settlement are they settled? Those offenses pertain to one of the four failures: the failure of conduct (ācāravipatti). Of the seven classes of offense, they are comprised by two classes of offense: sometimes by the class of offenses to be acknowledged, sometimes by the class of offenses of wrong-doing. Of the six origins of offenses, they arise by four origins: sometimes they arise from body, not from speech, not from mind (citta); sometimes they arise from body and speech, not from mind; sometimes they arise from body and mind, not from speech; sometimes they arise from body, speech, and mind. Of the four legal issues, they are a legal issue concerning offenses (āpattādhikaraṇa). Of the seven means of settlement, they are settled by three means of settlement: sometimes by resolution in the presence (sammukhāvinaya) together with acting upon acknowledgment (paṭiññātakaraṇa); sometimes by resolution in the presence together with covering over as with grass (tiṇavatthāraka).
