[879] On account of a legal issue arising from accusation (anuvādādhikaraṇa), how many offenses (āpatti) does one commit? On account of a legal issue arising from accusation, one commits three offenses: a bhikkhu groundlessly charges a bhikkhu with a pārājika offense — an offense of saṅghādisesa; he groundlessly charges him with a saṅghādisesa — an offense of pācittiya; he groundlessly charges him with a failure of conduct (ācāravipatti) — an offense of dukkaṭa. On account of a legal issue arising from accusation, one commits these three offenses.
Of the four failures (vipatti), how many failures do those offenses belong to? … Of the seven settlements (samatha), by how many settlements are they settled?
Those offenses belong to two of the four failures: sometimes to failure of virtue (sīlavipatti), sometimes to failure of conduct. Of the seven classes of offenses (āpattikkhandha), they are included in three classes of offenses: sometimes in the class of saṅghādisesa offenses, sometimes in the class of pācittiya offenses, sometimes in the class of dukkaṭa offenses. Of the six originations of offenses (samuṭṭhāna), they originate through three originations: sometimes they originate from body and from mind, not from speech; sometimes they originate from speech and from mind, not from body; sometimes they originate from body, from speech, and from mind. Of the four legal issues (adhikaraṇa), they are a legal issue concerning an offense (āpattādhikaraṇa). Of the seven settlements, they are settled by three settlements: sometimes by resolution in the presence (sammukhāvinaya) together with acting upon admission (paṭiññātakaraṇa); sometimes by resolution in the presence together with covering over as with grass (tiṇavatthāraka).
