《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪六十五》
有不堪受戒的就罢除他的僧尼身份，能接受佛教戒律的不发给度牒，让他们回归本州。
有不堪者罢之，堪者给牒，遣归本州。
Those who are not qualified for the ordination ceremony will be deprived of their status as monks and nuns. Those who can accept the Buddhist precepts will not be granted clerical certification and will be asked to return to their home provinces.
