PāliPali
“Mendicants, ordination should be given by a mendicant with five qualities. What five? It’s a mendicant who has the entire spectrum of an adept’s ethics, immersion, wisdom, freedom, and the knowledge and vision of freedom. Ordination should be given by a mendicant with these five qualities.”
“Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgatena bhikkhunā upasampādetabbaṁ. Katamehi pañcahi? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu asekhena sīlakkhandhena samannāgato hoti; asekhena samādhikkhandhena samannāgato hoti; asekhena paññākkhandhena samannāgato hoti; asekhena vimuttikkhandhena samannāgato hoti; asekhena vimuttiñāṇadassanakkhandhena samannāgato hoti. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgatena bhikkhunā upasampādetabban”ti. Paṭhamaṁ.
