Karman ācārya: The three of you have received the full ordination. The one-motion three-proclamations karman has been performed in accord with the Dharma. The territory established for you to obtain the precepts and the upādhyāyā were in accord with the Dharma. The ācāryas were in accord with the Dharma. The quorum of a qualified dual saṅgha was fulfilled.
You should receive the Buddha’s teachings well, encourage lay followers to make merit, erect stūpas, and make offerings to the saṅgha. Do not violate or rebel against teachings from your upādhyāyā and ācāryas that are in accord with the Dharma. You should become learned, recite sutras, and diligently engage in the preliminary practices. Through practicing the Buddhadharma, you will obtain the fruits of a stream-enterer, once-returner, nonreturner, and arhat. Now that you have generated the motivation to go forth, your efforts will not be wasted, and the fruits of your practice will never be exhausted. If there is anything else you do not know, you should ask your upādhyāyā or ācāryas.
Bow once and pick up the sitting cloth. Go to the Buddha Hall and bow to the Buddhas.
The newly ordained carry the sitting cloth and descend the platform from the southwest corner in the back. The second group until the final group also receive the ordination in this manner.

The newly ordained carry the sitting cloth and descend the platform. The ten bhikṣuṇī teachers descend first and divide and stand on both sides.
