[876] Due to failure in view (diṭṭhivipatti) as condition, how many offences (āpatti) does one commit? Due to failure in view as condition, one commits two offences: not relinquishing an evil view when being admonished up to the third time — with the motion (ñatti), a dukkaṭa; with the two proclamations of the act (kammavācā), dukkaṭas; at the conclusion of the proclamation of the act, an offence of pācittiya. Due to failure in view as condition, one commits these two offences.
Of the four failures (vipatti), how many failures do those offences pertain to? … Of the seven means of settlement (samatha), by how many means of settlement are they settled?
Those offences pertain to one of the four failures: failure in conduct (ācāravipatti). Of the seven classes of offences (āpattikkhandha), they may be comprised under two classes: sometimes under the pācittiya class of offences, sometimes under the dukkaṭa class of offences. Of the six origins of offences (samuṭṭhāna), they arise through one origin: they arise from body, from speech, and from mind (citta). Of the four kinds of legal issues (adhikaraṇa), they are a legal issue concerning offences (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).
