[124] tena kho pana samayena āyasmato upanandassa sakyaputtassa kaṇṭako nāma sāmaṇero kaṇṭakiṁ nāma bhikkhuniṁ dūsesi.	Now at that time Kaṇṭaka, Ven. Upananda the Sakyan’s novice, molested[1] a bhikkhunī named Kaṇṭakī.
bhikkhū ujjhāyanti khīyanti vipācenti	The monks criticized and complained and spread it about,
kathaṁ hi nāma sāmaṇero evarūpaṁ anācāraṁ ācarissatīti.	“How can a novice engage in that kind of misbehavior?”
bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.	They reported the matter to the Blessed One.
anujānāmi bhikkhave dasahaṅgehi samannāgataṁ sāmaṇeraṁ nāsetuṁ	“Monks, I allow a novice endowed with ten qualities to be expelled:
pāṇātipātī hoti adinnādāyī hoti abrahmacārī hoti musāvādī hoti majjapāyī hoti buddhassa avaṇṇaṁ bhāsati dhammassa avaṇṇaṁ bhāsati saṅghassa avaṇṇaṁ bhāsati micchādiṭṭhiko hoti bhikkhunīdūsako hoti	“He is a taker of life, he is a taker of what is not given, he engages in uncelibacy, he is a speaker of lies, he is a drinker of intoxicants, he speaks dispraise of the Buddha, he speaks dispraise of the Dhamma, he speaks dispraise of the Saṅgha, he holds wrong views, he is a molester of a bhikkhunī.
anujānāmi bhikkhave imehi dasahaṅgehi samannāgataṁ sāmaṇeraṁ nāsetunti.	“Monks, I allow that a novice endowed with these ten qualities be expelled.

Notes

1.: This is the same word translated as ‘commit sodomy’ above. The Commentary to Mv.I.67.1 makes it clear that it means sexual intercourse.
