Ñatti (f.) [Sk. jñapti, from jñāpayati, caus of jñā] announce- ment, declaration, esp. as t. t. a motion or resolution put at a kammavācā (proceedings at a meeting of the chapter. The usual formula is "esā ñatti; suṇātu me bhante sangho": Vin i.340; iii.150, 173, 228; -- ˚ŋ ṭhapeti to propose a resolution Vin iv.152. -- Vin v.142, 217 (na c' âpi ñatti na ca pana kammavācā). This resolution is also called a ñattikamma: Vin ii.89; iv.152; v.116; A i.99. Two kinds are distinguished, viz. that at which the voting follows directly upon the motion, i. e. a ñatti -- dutiya -- kamma, & that at which the motion is put 3 times, & is then followed (as 4th item) by the decision, i. e. a ñ -- catuttha -- kamma. Both kinds are discussed at Vin i.56, 317 sq.; ii.89; iii.156; iv.152; & passim. Cp. Divy 356: jñapticaturtha. Cp. āṇatti, viññatti.
