[163] "Bhikkhus, when one is authorizing a boundary (sīmā), first the boundary of common communion (samānasaṃvāsā sīmā) should be authorized; afterwards the non-separation from the three robes (ticīvarena avippavāso) should be authorized. Bhikkhus, when one is revoking a boundary, first the non-separation from the three robes should be revoked; afterwards the boundary of common communion should be revoked.
"And thus, bhikkhus, should the non-separation from the three robes be revoked. A competent and capable bhikkhu should inform the Saṅgha:
"'Venerable sirs, let the Saṅgha listen to me. Whatever non-separation from the three robes has been authorized by the Saṅgha — if it is the right time for the Saṅgha, let the Saṅgha revoke that non-separation from the three robes. This is the motion (ñatti).
"'Venerable sirs, let the Saṅgha listen to me. Whatever non-separation from the three robes has been authorized by the Saṅgha — the Saṅgha revokes that non-separation from the three robes. Whichever venerable one approves of the revocation of this non-separation from the three robes, he should remain silent; whoever does not approve, he should speak.
"'That non-separation from the three robes has been revoked by the Saṅgha. It is approved by the Saṅgha; therefore it is silent. Thus do I hold it.'
"And thus, bhikkhus, should the boundary of common communion be revoked. A competent and capable bhikkhu should inform the Saṅgha:
"'Venerable sirs, let the Saṅgha listen to me. Whatever boundary has been authorized by the Saṅgha as one of common communion and of a single Uposatha — if it is the right time for the Saṅgha, let the Saṅgha revoke that boundary. This is the motion.
"'Venerable sirs, let the Saṅgha listen to me. Whatever boundary has been authorized by the Saṅgha as one of common communion and of a single Uposatha — the Saṅgha revokes that boundary. Whichever venerable one approves of the revocation of this boundary of common communion and of a single Uposatha, he should remain silent; whoever does not approve, he should speak.
"'That boundary of common communion and of a single Uposatha has been revoked by the Saṅgha. It is approved by the Saṅgha; therefore it is silent. Thus do I hold it.'"
