1-2. Having bowed down before the Chief One in the world, who crossed over the boundless attachment to suffering, who was a flag of glory celebrated in the three worlds, whose lion's roar made apparent the roar of the True dharma. who reached the jeweled treasure of omniscience, whose feet were rubbed by the crest-jewels of Brahma's egg, I will explain the treasury of jewels, which is the moral precepts relating to omniscience, in the middle of the community of monks.
3. This Pratimokṣa is called the essence, the heart and foundation of the limitless andunfathomable water of the ocean of Vinaya of the Buddha.
4. This is the compendium of the True Dharma written by the King of the True Dharma. This great treaty consists of articles of precepts for the monks who are like a guild of merchants.
5. This is the medicine for impeding the venom of those corrupted by bad śīla. This is the goad stick for youths bewildered by their youthfulness.
6. This is the raft for crossing over the deep ocean of saṃsāra. [This is] the foremost guide for a king.
7. This stands like a ladder for ascending the city of release. It has been proclaimed, “When I enter Nirvāṇa, this [Prātimokṣa] will be your Teacher."
8. The hearing of the Prātimokṣa is hard to obtain in ten millions of ages; even going beyond, to grasp and to bear [it] is much more difficult to obtain.
9. Happy is the birth of Buddhas, happy is the knowledge of the Dharma; Happy is the concord in the saṃgha, happy is the tapas of the Śramaṇas.
10. Happy is the sight of the noble ones, happy also is association with the truth; Absence of the sight of the ignorant should be a constant happiness."
11. Happy is seeing the disciplined ones, happy is seeing the learned ones; And seeing the arhants is happy (i.e., good) for the removal of rebirths.
12. Happy is the river, happy is the bank of the river, happy is the person who has acquired Dharma; Happy is the attainment of prajna, happy indeed is the destruction of egotism.
13. Happy is the condition of those learned ones who have made fixed intentions and subdued their senses; [Happy is the condition] of those gone to old age in peaceful forests of those having spent their youthfulness in forests.

[Introduction] Leader: O Venerable Ones. so many hot seasons have passed, so many remain. Life passes, old age and death approach. The Teaching of the Teacher is diminishing. Yoga should be practiced by the Venerable Ones with diligence. The Tathāgatas, Arhants, Fully Enligbtened Ones obtained the wholesome bodhipakṣya dharmas, indeed conducive to bodhi, by diligence, What preliminaries of the Śrāvaka-saṃgha of the Blessed One should be done?
Response: Little, there is little to be done.
Leader: Let the Venerable Ones announce the complete purity?” and consent of those who have not arrived, and having announced it, make it known.

14. Bowing down to the Lion of the Sakyas, and a reverential salute having been made, I will proclaim the Prātimokṣa, and let one hear that Vinaya from me.
15, And having heard that, let one act here as proclaimed by the great sage; by making an effort [and] by being without [even] minute sins.
16, For one who constantly, quickly, and with effort pursues his horselike mind with statements from the mouth [of the Buddha], Prātimokṣa is like the bit of a bridle from which one hundred sharp thorns are shot.
17. The great-minded ones who do not turn away from the proper station [even] by mere words, are indeed horse-like men who will be victorious in the battle of the kleśas.
18. But for the unrestrained ones to whom this is not known to be a bridle, and is not even desired in their hearts, in the battle of the kleśas, they will be bewildered by confusion.

Leader: O Venerable Sirs. Let the saṃgha listen. Today is the fourteenth or fifteenth day [of the lunar month], Poṣadha day for the saṃgha. If it seems good [and the saṃgha] should agree that it is the right time for the saṃgha. The saṃgha should perform Poṣadha and recite the Prātimokṣa Sūtra recitation. This is the motion.

諸大(22)徳我今作褒灑陀。説波羅底木叉戒經。仁等(23)諦聽。善思念之。若有犯者。當發露。無犯者默(24)然。默然故知諸大徳清淨。如餘問時。即如實(25)答。我今於此勝苾芻衆中。乃至三問亦應如(26)實答。若苾芻憶知有犯不發露者得故¹ 妄語(27)罪。諸大徳。佛説故妄語是障礙法。是故苾芻(28)欲求清淨者。當發露。發露即安樂。不發露(29)不安樂。

1. 故 conrresponds to saṃprajānan

Response: O Venerable Ones¹ we will perform the Poṣadha and recite the Prātimokṣa Sūtra. Leader: For whom there may be a fault, it should be confessed by that one. If there is no fault, [one] should be silent. By being silent, we will understand the Venerable Ones to be completely pure. Just as there is an answer by a monk when questioned individually, so also there is the threefold public proclamation in such an assembly of monks. For whatever monk, being questioned in this way three times in the assembly of monks, who does not reveal an existing fault which is remembered, there is the speaking of a deliberate lie. Speaking a deliberate lie, O Venerable Ones, has assuredly been declared by the Blessed One to be an obstructive condition. Therefore, an existing fault should be revealed by a fallen monk, remembering [the offense and] hoping for purity. By revealing it, there is comfort for him, but by not revealing it, there is none.

1. Prebish: One, cf. note to san.

諸大徳。我已説戒經序今問諸大徳。(501a1)是中清淨不如是三説諸大徳。是中清淨。默然故我(2)今如是持

O Venerable Ones, the introduction of the Prātimokṣa Sūtra recitation has been recited by me. Concerning this, I ask the Venerable Ones – What about it, you, who are assembled here, are you completely pure? A second and also a third time I ask – Are you completely pure in this matter? Since there is silence, the Venerable Ones here are completely pure. This I thus accept.
