[870] By the fourth origination of offenses (āpattisamuṭṭhāna), how many offenses (āpatti) does one commit?
By the fourth origination of offenses one commits six offenses. A bhikkhu engages in sexual intercourse (methuna dhamma): an offense of pārājika. A bhikkhu, perceiving it as not allowable (akappiyasaññī), builds a hut (kuṭi) by means of his own begging, on a site not designated, exceeding the measure, on a site involving harm (sārambha), without space around it (aparikkamana): in the act [of building] there is a dukkaṭa; when one lump [of mortar] has not yet come, an offense of thullaccaya; when that lump has come, an offense of saṅghādisesa. A bhikkhu, perceiving it as not allowable, eats food at the wrong time: an offense of pācittiya. A bhikkhu, perceiving it as not allowable, having received with his own hand hard food or soft food from the hand of an unrelated bhikkhunī who has entered among the houses, eats it: an offense of pāṭidesanīya. By the fourth origination of offenses one commits these six offenses.
To how many of the four failures (vipatti) do those offenses belong? … By how many of the seven settlements (samatha) are they settled?
Those offenses belong to two of the four failures: sometimes to failure in virtue (sīlavipatti), sometimes to failure in conduct (ācāravipatti). Of the seven classes of offenses (āpattikkhandha), they are included in six classes of offenses: sometimes in the class of pārājika offenses, sometimes in the class of saṅghādisesa offenses, sometimes in the class of thullaccaya offenses, sometimes in the class of pācittiya offenses, sometimes in the class of pāṭidesanīya offenses, sometimes in the class of dukkaṭa offenses. Of the six originations of offenses, they arise by one origination: they arise from body and from mind (citta), not from speech. Of the four kinds of legal issues (adhikaraṇa), they are a legal issue concerning offenses (āpattādhikaraṇa). Of the seven settlements, they are settled by three settlements: sometimes by verdict in the presence (sammukhāvinaya) together with acting according to acknowledgment (paṭiññātakaraṇa), and sometimes by verdict in the presence together with covering over as with grass (tiṇavatthāraka).
