[488] "Surely, bhikkhus, a transgression (accaya) overcame you — in that, like fools, like the confused, like the unskillful, you who have gone forth in a Dhamma and Discipline so well proclaimed assailed one another concerning your learning (suta), saying: 'Come, bhikkhu, who will speak more? Who will speak more beautifully? Who will speak longer?' But since you, bhikkhus, having seen the transgression as a transgression, make amends in accordance with the Dhamma, we accept that transgression of yours. For this, bhikkhus, is growth in the discipline of the Noble One: that one, having seen a transgression as a transgression, makes amends in accordance with the Dhamma and undertakes restraint in the future."
