Vinaya Texts, Part I: The Patimokkha, The Mahavagga I-IV (Sacred Books of the East, Vol. 13) SECOND KHANDHAKA. / IT, 34, 2. UPOSATHA CEREMONY, AND PATIMOKKHA. 2QI / FOURTH KHANDHAKA. / IV, 1 6, 3. THE PAVARA2VA CEREMONY. 34!; lines 15614-15757 confidence: high
The text states that an accuser may inhibit a Bhikkhu’s Pavāraṇā on account of what he has seen, heard, or suspected; for a sight-based charge, he is asked what, when, and where he saw it, what offence he saw, where each monk was, and what each did.
The passage repeatedly requires questioning of an accuser about the factual basis, source, time, place, and offence category of an allegation.
