Noble ladies, now the seven ways of settling an arisen legal matter will be recited.

3. Discipline should be established, by proving that the bhikkhuni was deranged mentally
4. By making to promise.
5. Settling the legal matter with a majority of votes.
6. Settling the legal matter by showing its evil nature.
7. By covering up the whole thing.
Noble ladies, the seven ways of establishing discipline are recited, now I ask how is your purity? For the second and for the third time I ask how is your purity? The noble ladies are pure, therefore they are silent, and I record it as such.
