[871] Through the fifth origin of offenses (āpattisamuṭṭhāna), how many offenses does one commit?
Through the fifth origin of offenses one commits six offenses. A bhikkhu of evil desires, overcome by desire, boasts of a superhuman state (uttarimanussadhamma) that is non-existent and unreal — an offense (āpatti) entailing expulsion (pārājika). A bhikkhu, perceiving it as not allowable, gives the order, "Build a hut for me," and they build a hut for him on a site that has not been designated, exceeding the proper measure, involving harm, without surrounding space — in the undertaking there is an offense of wrongdoing (dukkaṭa); when one lump of plaster has not yet been applied, an offense of grave transgression (thullaccaya); when that lump has been applied, an offense entailing a formal meeting of the Saṅgha (saṅghādisesa). A bhikkhu, perceiving it as not allowable, makes one who is not fully ordained recite the Dhamma word by word — an offense entailing expiation (pācittiya). Not desiring to abuse, not desiring to disparage, not desiring to humiliate, but out of a desire to jest, he speaks of what is low with what is low — an offense of wrong speech (dubbhāsita). Through the fifth origin of offenses one commits these six offenses.
Those offenses — of the four failures (vipatti), how many failures do they pertain to? … Of the seven means of settlement (samatha), by how many means of settlement are they settled?
Those offenses pertain 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 dukkaṭa offenses, sometimes in the class of dubbhāsita offenses. Of the six origins of offenses, they arise through one origin: they arise from speech and from mind, not from body. Of the four legal issues (adhikaraṇa), they are a legal issue concerning offenses (āpattādhikaraṇa). Of the seven means of settlement, they are settled by three means of settlement: sometimes by settlement in the presence (sammukhāvinaya) together with acting upon acknowledgment (paṭiññātakaraṇa), sometimes by settlement in the presence together with covering over as with grass (tiṇavatthāraka).
