– ON THE BEGINNING SECTION OF MISCELLANEOUS RULES
NOT TO USE ROOTS AS A MALE ORGAN.
When the Buddha was residing in the city of Śrāvastī, at that time certain bhikkhunis used objects inserted into the vagina to produce emission, such as using various kinds of radishes and onions inserted into the vagina to produce emission. The bhikkhunis then brought this matter and reported it to the Blessed One. In the end, the Buddha instructed: "From this time forward, I do not permit such things to be done. If any bhikkhuni uses radishes or onions inserted into the vagina to produce emission in order to alleviate desire, she commits the offense of Sthūlātyaya. This is called 'roots.'"
