[880] On account of a legal issue arising from an offense (āpattādhikaraṇa), how many offenses (āpatti) does one commit? On account of a legal issue arising from an offense, one commits four offenses: A bhikkhunī, knowing, conceals a pārājika offense — an offense of pārājika. Being doubtful, she conceals it — an offense of thullaccaya. A bhikkhu conceals a saṅghādisesa — an offense of pācittiya. One conceals a failure of conduct — an offense of dukkaṭa. On account of a legal issue arising from an offense, one commits these four offenses.
Those offenses — of the four failures (vipatti), how many failures do they belong to? … 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 of virtue (sīlavipatti), sometimes to failure of conduct (ācāravipatti). Of the seven classes of offenses (āpattikkhandha), they are included in four classes of offenses: sometimes in the pārājika class of offenses, sometimes in the thullaccaya class of offenses, sometimes in the pācittiya class of offenses, sometimes in the dukkaṭa class of offenses. Of the six origins of offenses (samuṭṭhāna), they arise by one origin: they arise from body, from speech, and from mind (citta). Of the four kinds of legal issues (adhikaraṇa), it is a legal issue arising from 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 as with grass (tiṇavatthāraka).
