[869] Through the third origination of offenses (āpattisamuṭṭhāna), how many offenses (āpatti) does one commit? Through the third origination of offenses one commits five offenses. A bhikkhu, perceiving it as allowable (kappiyasaññī), having given directions, has a hut built on a site not designated (by the Saṅgha), exceeding the measure, involving harm (sārambha), lacking surrounding space: in the undertaking there is an offense of dukkaṭa; when one lump (of clay) has not yet come, there is an offense of thullaccaya; when that lump has come, there is an offense of saṅghādisesa. A bhikkhu, perceiving it as allowable, having requested fine foods for his own benefit, eats them: an offense of pācittiya. A bhikkhu, perceiving it as allowable, eats without dismissing a bhikkhunī who is giving directions: an offense of pāṭidesanīya. Through the third origination of offenses one commits these five offenses. Of the four failures (vipatti), to how many failures do those offenses belong? … Of the seven means of settlement (samatha), by how many means of settlement are they settled? Those offenses belong to two of the four failures: sometimes to failure in virtue, sometimes to failure in conduct. Of the seven classes of offenses (āpattikkhandha), they are included in five classes of offenses: sometimes in the saṅghādisesa class of offenses, sometimes in the thullaccaya class of offenses, sometimes in the pācittiya class of offenses, sometimes in the pāṭidesanīya class of offenses, sometimes in the dukkaṭa class of offenses. Of the six originations of offenses, they arise through one origination: they arise from body and from speech, not from mind. Of the four legal issues (adhikaraṇa), they are a legal issue concerning an offense. Of the seven means of settlement, they are settled by three means of settlement: sometimes by removal in the presence (sammukhāvinaya) together with acting upon acknowledgment (paṭiññātakaraṇa), sometimes by removal in the presence together with covering over with grass (tiṇavatthāraka).
