Whispers in his ear: if she speaks into the ear of a man, she commits an offense entailing confession. Dismisses her companion nun: if, wanting to misbehave, she dismisses her companion nun, she commits an offense of wrong conduct. If the companion nun is in the process of going beyond the range of sight or the range of hearing, she commits an offense of wrong conduct. When the companion nun has gone beyond, she commits an offense entailing confession.

If she stands or talks outside of arm’s reach, she commits an offense of wrong conduct. If she stands or talks with a male spirit, a male ghost, a <i lang='pi' translate='no'>paṇḍaka</i>, or a male animal in human form, she commits an offense of wrong conduct.

Non-offenses There is no offense:

if she has a companion who understands; if she is not seeking privacy; if she stands or talks thinking of something else; if she does not want to misbehave; if she dismisses her companion nun when there is something to be done; if she is insane; if she is the first offender. The fourth training rule is finished.
