[400] The Saṅgha should be informed by a competent and capable bhikkhu:
"Venerable sirs, let the Saṅgha listen to me. This bhikkhu Udāyi committed one offence (āpatti) of intentional emission of semen (sañcetanikā sukkavisaṭṭhi), concealed for five days. He asked the Saṅgha for 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 undergoing probation, he committed in the interval one offence of intentional emission of semen, unconcealed. He asked the Saṅgha for sending back to the beginning (mūlāya paṭikassanā) for the one intervening offence of intentional emission of semen, unconcealed. The Saṅgha sent the bhikkhu Udāyi back to the beginning for the one intervening offence of intentional emission of semen, unconcealed. Having completed his probation and being deserving of mānatta, he committed in the interval one offence of intentional emission of semen, unconcealed. He asks the Saṅgha for sending back to the beginning for the one intervening offence of intentional emission of semen, unconcealed. If it seems appropriate to 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).

Any venerable one to whom the sending back to the beginning of the bhikkhu Udāyi for the one intervening offence of intentional emission of semen, unconcealed, is agreeable—let him be silent; any to whom it is not agreeable—let him speak.
"A second time I speak on this matter. … A third time I speak on this matter. …
"The bhikkhu Udāyi has been sent back to the beginning by the Saṅgha for the one intervening offence of intentional emission of semen, unconcealed. It is agreeable to the Saṅgha; therefore it is silent. Thus do I hold it."
