“ground” is bhūmi. Vin-a.1382: “either he makes a ‘same communion for himself’, or a complete Order restores a suspended monk. But in the Kurundiya the two grounds for communion that are spoken of are a ground for a similar communion and a ground for a different communion.” Cf. above Prv.7.2 (end of text, pp.116.)
[30]:
Vin-a.1382: “A nun who has struck herself falls into two offences: if she strikes and weeps there is an offence of Pācittiya; if she strikes but does not weep there is an offence of wrong-doing.” See Nuns’ Bi-Pc.20.

By a formal act and by a voting ticket.
[32]:
Vin-a.1383: there are two in the whole of the Vinaya according to the layings down for both (Orders). But, on the other hand (? itarathā) there are nine for monks and nine for nuns, making eighteen.

Defeat, grave, Pācittiya, as at Bu-Pj.3.4.5.

Formal Meeting, grave, wrong-doing, as at Bu-Ss.5.4.12.
[38]:
One who is under the right age (Bu-Pc.65), one lacking the accessories (bowl and robe) (Kd.1.70), and one who has fallen away from the matter (a matricide, eunuch, hermaphrodite and animal) (Kd.1.63–69)—the (last two) interpretations being given by the Kurundiya.
[39]:
The preparation of a formal act (it should be carried out), the individually unfinished (he is carrying out), and a past carrying out (it was carried out). A further threefold classification is by subject-matter, motion and proclamation: Vin-a.1383.
[40]:
“Expel the nun Mettiyā” (Bu-Ss.8.1.9), a seducer of nuns should be expelled (Kd.1.67), and a novice who is possessed of ten qualities should be expelled (Kd.1.60). Cf. above Section Prv.7.1.

[47]:
navakā; Vin-a.1384 says that in the first rule of training (i.e. in the division on nuns, Bu-Pc.21–30) there are precisely two formal acts that are not legally valid, and two that are. The reference seems to be Bu-Pc.21. See Vin.5.137–138.
[48]:
Vin-a.1384 says that in giving robe-material in the presence of monks to one who is ordained there is Pācittiya; in the presence of nuns there is wrong-doing. Thus there is an offence in giving robe-material to two nuns.
[49]:
As handed down in the Pali, i.e. the text.

[53]:
Commentary merely remarks that if one sits or lies down one falls into four offences; perhaps the same as for standing.

[55]:
Vin-a.1385: a monk accepts five medicines, mixes them in one or more vessels, but if he sets them aside for more than seven days there are five offences of Pācittiya. Perhaps this refers to Bu-NP.23.
[56]:
This refers to a monk who asks for, crushes up together and eats the nine sumptuous foods; see Bu-Pc.39.
[57]:
Confessing in one formula (sentence) to storing the five medicines for more than seven days; Bu-NP.23.
[58]:
Referring to sumptuous foods (?).
[59]:
Referring to medicines.
[60]:
Referring to sumptuous foods.
[61]:
Defeat for imitating one who is suspended (Nuns’ Bi-Pj.5), Formal Meeting for imitating a schismatic (Bu-Ss.10.1), and Pācittiya for the nun Caṇḍakālī for not giving up a pernicious view (this may refer to Nuns’ Bi-Ss.10 which, however, does not mention an offence of Pācittiya).
[63]:
Grave offence to eat human flesh (Vin.1.218), one of wrong-doing to eat the other unallowable meats (Vin.1.219ff.), offence of Pācittiya for a nun who eats garlic (Nuns’ Bi-Pc.1).

Formal Meeting (Nuns’ Bi-Ss.5), grave (Vin.1.218), Pācittiya (Nuns’ Bi-Pc.1), Confession (Nuns’ Bi-Pd.1–8), and wrong-doing (Vin.1.219f.).

For these same five classes all ordinary investigations (? vinicchayavohāra) about bowl and robe is called a legal question, Vin-a.1386.

Vin-a.1387: if an individual makes amends (for an offence) in the midst of an Order, in the midst of a group, or in the presence of an individual (monk).
[72]:
Pācittiya and wrong-doing (Nuns’ Bi-Pc.11.2.1).
[74]:
Wrong-doing (Bu-Ss.1.5.12).
[75]:
Vin-a.1387: “‘Monks, a monk must not look at a donor’s face’—here is an offence of wrong-doing. But the Kurundiya speaks of this phrase as meaning ‘if a nun is partaking of prepared (ripened, paripācita) alms there is an offence of Pācittiya’.’
[76]:
Vin-a.1387: “called advantages in the Kosambakakkhandhaka”—apparently referring to Kd.10.1.7, though the word ānisaṃsa does not occur there in Oldenberg’s edition.
[77]:
For not seeing an offence, not making amends for one, not giving up a pernicious view, e.g. Kd.1.79.
[78]:
Vin-a.1387: some are for those monks who have been suspended.
[79]:
[80]:
Vin-a.1387 “ten days at most” and so on is spoken of below (i.e. above here).
[81]:
Four offences to be Confessed for monks, eight for nuns.
[82]:
desanā. Vin-a.1387: this means confession of a transgression, accaya, and refers in particular to the assassins hired by Devadatta (Vin.2.192); to the woman who tried to seduce the elder Anuruddha (Vin.4.18); to Vaḍḍha the Licchavi (Vin.2.126); and to incoming monks who carried out a formal act of suspension against an Elder who was a resident in Vāsabha village (Vin.1.314f.).
[87]:
Commentary here says this refers to the ordination, upasampadā, of nuns.
[91]:
Now the verses begin to be concerned with schism; “could be destroyed” is chejja. Vin-a.1388 says “In the verses whoever of nine people offers a voting ticket, he splits the Order; only for him is there chejja”, and it rather strangely adds “as Devadatta fell into an offence involving Defeat”. The above clause apparently refers to Vin.2.204 (Kd.17.5.1).
[92]:
Vin-a.1388: “the followers or imitators of schismatics, such as Kokālika and so on”—i.e. Kokālika and three other followers of Devadatta are mentioned at Bu-Ss.10.1.1, Kd.17.3.14. At Kd.17.4.4 they were to be made to confess a grave offence. Four other sets of circumstances for falling into a grave offence for aiming at a schism occur at Kd.2.34.6–9.
[93]:
No offence for four speakers of Dhamma—this is obscure.

The word sante is unusual in Vinaya. It looks like an accusative plural and as if it is being used for parisuddhi, complete purity; and dātabbaṃ is probably here to declare, see BD.4.158, n.1. The above clause possibly refers to Kd.2.22, Kd.13.26: suddhanta. For Vin-a.1388 the seven are: those gone to distant parts, disāpakkantā for disaṃgamika of Kd.2.21; those who are mad, unhinged, in pain, and the three who have been suspended (i.e. for not seeing, not making amends for and not giving up).

This verse is quoted at Vin-a.1183.

Vin-a.1389 speaks of the same five kinds of “aloofness” or seclusion as does MN-a.i.85. Cf. Vin.5.97.
Only one class of offence, that of Defeat, is stopped without the decidings. Here one verdict in the presence of is stopped without the decidings, but yet attains the status of a deciding.

Vin-a.1390 referring to the Sanghabhedakkhandhaka, classifies the eighteen speakers of non-dhamma into eight groups each, thus arriving at the total of cha ūnadiyaḍḍhasata. See Kd.17.5.2 (for the eighteen points giving rise to schism) and Kd.17.5.5 (for the views and the doubts, which Commentary classifies as eight).
This refers to the answer last but two above, where the 144 are reduced to 18 × 8.
