Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery. Tena kho pana samayena thullanandā bhikkhunī rathikāyapi byūhepi siṅghāṭakepi purisena saddhiṁ ekenekā santiṭṭhatipi sallapatipi nikaṇṇikampi jappeti dutiyikampi bhikkhuniṁ uyyojeti.
rathikāyapi → rathiyāyapi (bj, sya-all) | rathiyāyapi → rathikāyapi (bj: machasaṁ: rathiyāpi – sīmu2) | jappeti → jappeti AB. jappati? (pts note)
At that time the nun Thullanandā stood and talked alone with men on streets, in cul-de-sacs, and at intersections, and she whispered in their ears and dismissed her companion nun.

Yā tā bhikkhuniyo appicchā …pe… tā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
khiyyanti → khīyanti (bj, sya-all)
The nuns of few desires complained and criticized her,
“kathañhi nāma ayyā thullanandā rathikāyapi byūhepi siṅghāṭakepi purisena saddhiṁ ekenekā santiṭṭhissatipi sallapissatipi nikaṇṇikampi jappissati dutiyikampi bhikkhuniṁ uyyojessatī”ti …pe…
rathikāyapi → rathiyāyapi (bj, sya-all) | jappissati → jappasseti (bj) | jappasseti → jappissati (bj: machasaṁ)
“How can Venerable Thullanandā do such things?” …
“saccaṁ kira, bhikkhave, thullanandā bhikkhunī rathikāyapi byūhepi siṅghāṭakepi purisena saddhiṁ ekenekā santiṭṭhatipi sallapatipi nikaṇṇikampi jappeti dutiyikampi bhikkhuniṁ uyyojetī”ti?
rathikāyapi → rathiyāyapi (bj, sya-all)
“Is it true, monks, that the nun Thullanandā does this?”

“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.“It’s true, sir.”

Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…The Buddha rebuked her … kathañhi nāma, bhikkhave, thullanandā bhikkhunī rathikāyapi byūhepi siṅghāṭakepi purisena saddhiṁ ekenekā santiṭṭhissatipi sallapissatipi nikaṇṇikampi jappissati dutiyikampi bhikkhuniṁ uyyojessati.
rathikāyapi → rathiyāyapi (bj, sya-all) | jappissati → jappessati (bj)
“How can the nun Thullanandā do such things?
Netaṁ, bhikkhave, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…This will affect people’s confidence …” … evañca pana, bhikkhave, bhikkhuniyo imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddisantu—“And, monks, the nuns should recite this training rule like this:

“Yā pana bhikkhunī rathikāya vā byūhe vā siṅghāṭake vā purisena saddhiṁ ekenekā santiṭṭheyya vā sallapeyya vā nikaṇṇikaṁ vā jappeyya dutiyikaṁ vā bhikkhuniṁ uyyojeyya, pācittiyan”ti.
rathikāya → rathiyāya (bj, sya-all, pts1ed) | rathikāya → rathiyāya (pts)
