Cullavagga - Tenth Khandhaka: Chapter 20

20.
Now at that time Bhikkhunîs inhibited Bhikkhus from the Uposatha, or from the
Pavâranâ, or from the Exhortation, or issued commands to them, or asked them to
give them leave to rebuke them, or warned them of some offence they supposed
they
p. 359
were committing, or called upon them to remember whether or not they had
committed an offence 1.
They told this matter to the Blessed One.
'A Bhikkhunî is not, O Bhikkhus, to perform any one of these official acts
towards a Bhikkhu. Should she do so, the act is itself invalid, and she is
guilty of a dukkata.'
Now at that time Bhikkhus inhibited Bhikkhunîs [&c., as before, giving the
contrary decision].
