Cullavagga - First Khandhaka: Chapter 3

1. 'There are three things, O Bhikkhus, by which, when a Tagganiya-kamma is
characterised, it is a proceeding in accordance with the Dhamma, a proceeding in
accordance with the Vinaya, and is easy to be settled; (that is to say), when it
has been carried out in a full assembly of qualified persons, according to law,
and in the presence of the litigant parties--when it has been carried out after
the accused person has been heard--when it has been carried out after the
accused person has confessed himself guilty. A Tagganiya-kamma, O Bhikkhus,
characterised by these three things is in accordance with the Dhamma, and in
accordance with the Vinaya, and is easy to be settled.'
[And in a similar way the opposite of each of the twelve propositions in the
last section is here laid down.]
