[364] When the charge of evasive speech (aññavādaka) has not been imposed, a bhikkhu, being examined in the midst of the Saṅgha regarding a matter or an offense, not wishing to speak of it, not wishing to disclose it, evades by speaking of one thing with another: "Who has committed it? What has he committed? Regarding what has he committed it? How has he committed it? Of whom do you speak? Of what do you speak?" — he commits an offense of wrong-doing (dukkaṭa).
When the charge of vexing (vihesaka) has not been imposed, a bhikkhu, being examined in the midst of the Saṅgha regarding a matter or an offense, not wishing to speak of it, not wishing to disclose it, remaining silent, vexes the Saṅgha — he commits an offense of wrong-doing.
