Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sakkesu viharati kapilavatthusmiṁ nigrodhārāme.At one time when the Buddha was staying in the Sakyan country in the Banyan Tree Monastery at Kapilavatthu, Tena kho pana samayena chabbaggiyā bhikkhū bhikkhunupassayaṁ upasaṅkamitvā chabbaggiyā bhikkhuniyo ovadanti.
bhikkhunupassayaṁ → bhikkhunūpassayaṁ (bj, sya-all, pts)the monks from the group of six went to the nunnery to instruct the nuns from the group of six. Bhikkhuniyo chabbaggiyā bhikkhuniyo etadavocuṁ—
etadavocuṁ ethāyye → etad avocuṁ eth ayye (pts)Soon afterwards other nuns said to those nuns, “ethāyye, ovādaṁ gamissāmā”ti.
ethāyye → ethayye (bj, sya-all) | gamissāmāti yampi → gamissāmā ti yaṁ hi (pts)“Come, venerables, let’s go to the instruction.”

“Yampi mayaṁ, ayye, gaccheyyāma ovādassa kāraṇā, ayyā chabbaggiyā idheva āgantvā amhe ovadantī”ti.
āgantvā → (bj) | amhe → idheva āgantvā amhe (bj: machasaṁ) | hi → yaṁ pi AB. I have written yaṁ hi. Comp. Bhikkhuvibhaṅga, Pāc. XXIII.1. (pts note)“There’s no need. The monks from the group of six came and instructed us right here.”

Yā tā bhikkhuniyo appicchā …pe… tā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
khiyyanti → khīyanti (bj, sya-all)The nuns of few desires complained and criticized them, “kathañhi nāma chabbaggiyā bhikkhuniyo ovādaṁ na gacchissantī”ti …pe…“How could the nuns from the group of six not go to the instruction?” … “saccaṁ kira, bhikkhave, chabbaggiyā bhikkhuniyo ovādaṁ na gacchantī”ti?“Is it true, monks, that those nuns didn’t do this?”

“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.“It’s true, sir.”

Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…The Buddha rebuked them … kathañhi nāma, bhikkhave, chabbaggiyā bhikkhuniyo ovādaṁ na gacchissanti.“How could the nuns from the group of six not do this? 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 ovādāya vā saṁvāsāya vā na gaccheyya, pācittiyan”ti.‘If a nun does not go to the instruction or to a formal meeting of the community, she commits an offense entailing confession.’”

Yā panātiA:

Ovādāya vā saṁvāsāya vā na gacchissāmīti dhuraṁ nikkhittamatte āpatti pācittiyassa.If she thinks, “I won’t go to the instruction or to formal meetings of the community,” then by the mere fact of abandoning her duty, she commits an offense entailing confession.

Anāpatti—There is no offense: sati antarāye,if there is an obstacle; pariyesitvā dutiyikaṁ bhikkhuniṁ na labhati,if she searches for a companion nun, but does not find one; gilānāya,if she is sick; āpadāsu,if there is an emergency; ummattikāya,if she is insane; ādikammikāyāti.if she is the first offender.
