[397] 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 requested from the Saṅgha five days' probation (parivāsa) for the one offence of intentional emission of semen, concealed for five days. The Saṅgha granted the bhikkhu Udāyi five days' probation for the one offence of intentional emission of semen, concealed for five days. While observing probation, he committed in the interval one offence of intentional emission of semen, unconcealed. He requests from the Saṅgha the sending back to the beginning (mūlāya paṭikassanā) for the one intervening offence of intentional emission of semen, unconcealed. If it is the right time for the Saṅgha, let the Saṅgha send the bhikkhu Udāyi back to the beginning for the one intervening offence of intentional emission of semen, unconcealed. This is the motion (ñatti).
