[394] The Saṅgha should be informed by a competent and capable bhikkhu:
"Venerable sirs, let the Saṅgha listen to me. This bhikkhu Udāyi has committed one offence (āpatti) of intentional emission of semen (sañcetanikā sukkavisaṭṭhi), concealed for five days. He requests from the Saṅgha probation (parivāsa) of five days for the one offence of intentional emission of semen, concealed for five days. If it is the right time for the Saṅgha, the Saṅgha should grant the bhikkhu Udāyi probation of five days for the one offence of intentional emission of semen, concealed for five days. This is the motion (ñatti).
"Venerable sirs, let the Saṅgha listen to me. This bhikkhu Udāyi has committed one offence of intentional emission of semen, concealed for five days. He requests from the Saṅgha probation of five days for the one offence of intentional emission of semen, concealed for five days. The Saṅgha grants the bhikkhu Udāyi probation of five days for the one offence of intentional emission of semen, concealed for five days. Whichever venerable one approves of the granting to the bhikkhu Udāyi of probation of five days for the one offence of intentional emission of semen, concealed for five days, let him remain silent; whoever does not approve, let him speak.
"For a second time also I speak this matter. …
"For a third time also I speak this matter. Venerable sirs, let the Saṅgha listen to me. This bhikkhu Udāyi has committed one offence of intentional emission of semen, concealed for five days. He requests from the Saṅgha probation of five days for the one offence of intentional emission of semen, concealed for five days. The Saṅgha grants the bhikkhu Udāyi probation of five days for the one offence of intentional emission of semen, concealed for five days. Whichever venerable one approves of the granting to the bhikkhu Udāyi of probation of five days for the one offence of intentional emission of semen, concealed for five days, let him remain silent; whoever does not approve, let him speak.
"Probation of five days for the one offence of intentional emission of semen, concealed for five days, has been granted by the Saṅgha to the bhikkhu Udāyi. It is approved by the Saṅgha; therefore it is silent. Thus do I hold it."
