Through the motion (ñatti), an offense of wrong-doing; through the two proclamations of the act (kammavācā), offenses of wrong-doing; at the conclusion of the proclamation of the act, for the preceptor (upajjhāyā) there is an offense entailing expiation (pācittiya); for the group and for the teacher, an offense of wrong-doing.
