[5] That bhikkhu should approach several bhikkhus, arrange his upper robe (uttarāsaṅga) over one shoulder, pay homage at the feet of the senior bhikkhus, squat on his heels, raise his joined palms, and address them thus: "Venerable sirs, this robe (cīvara) of mine, which has exceeded the ten days, is subject to forfeiture (nissaggiya). I forfeit it to the venerable ones."
Having forfeited it, the offence (āpatti) should be confessed. The offence should be acknowledged by an experienced and competent bhikkhu, and the forfeited robe should be given back [thus]: "Let the venerable ones hear me. This robe of the bhikkhu named so-and-so, being subject to forfeiture, has been forfeited to the venerable ones. If it seems right to the venerable ones, let the venerable ones give this robe back to the bhikkhu named so-and-so."
