[350] Now at that time, semen was emitted from a certain bhikkhu while he was bathing with hot water. He was remorseful … "What was your intention, bhikkhu?" "Blessed One, I had no intention of causing emission." "Bhikkhu, there is no offense for one who has no intention of causing emission." Now at that time, semen was emitted from a certain bhikkhu who intended to cause emission, while he was bathing with hot water. He was remorseful … "Bhikkhu, you have committed an offense entailing a formal meeting of the Saṅgha (saṅghādisesa)." Now at that time, semen was not emitted from a certain bhikkhu who intended to cause emission, while he was bathing with hot water. He was remorseful … "Bhikkhu, there is no offense entailing a formal meeting of the Saṅgha; there is an offense of grave transgression (thullaccaya)." [Editorial footnote in the Siam Raṭṭha text: 1. The European edition reads "kaddamudako" (muddy water). 2. In the European and Burmese books this reading does not occur.]
