[168] Bhikkhus, when a bhikkhu possesses five further factors, the act of reconciliation (paṭisāraṇīyakamma) should not be revoked:
1. He commits the very offense on account of which the act of reconciliation was performed by the Saṅgha;
2. he commits another offense of a similar kind;
3. or one worse than that;
4. he criticizes the act;
5. he criticizes those who carried out the act.
Bhikkhus, when a bhikkhu possesses these five factors, the act of reconciliation should not be revoked.
