[121] That bhikkhu should approach the Saṅgha, arrange his upper robe over one shoulder, pay homage at the feet of the senior bhikkhus, sit down on his heels, raise his joined palms, and say thus: "Venerable sirs, this bowl of mine, which has passed beyond ten days, is to be relinquished. I relinquish it to the Saṅgha."
Having relinquished it, the offence should be confessed. The offence should be acknowledged by an experienced and competent bhikkhu. The relinquished bowl should be given: "Venerable sirs, let the Saṅgha listen to me. This bowl belonging to the bhikkhu named so-and-so, which was to be relinquished, has been relinquished to the Saṅgha. If it is the right time for the Saṅgha, the Saṅgha should give this bowl to the bhikkhu named so-and-so."
