[403] 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) on account of the one offence of intentional emission of semen concealed for five days. The Saṅgha granted the bhikkhu Udāyi five days' probation on account of the one offence of intentional emission of semen concealed for five days. While he was undergoing probation, he committed in the interim one offence of intentional emission of semen, unconcealed. He asked the Saṅgha for the sending back to the beginning (mūlāya paṭikassanā) on account of the one interim offence of intentional emission of semen, unconcealed. The Saṅgha sent the bhikkhu Udāyi back to the beginning on account of the one interim offence of intentional emission of semen, unconcealed. When he had completed probation and was deserving of mānatta, he committed in the interim one offence of intentional emission of semen, unconcealed. He asked the Saṅgha for the sending back to the beginning on account of the one interim offence of intentional emission of semen, unconcealed. The Saṅgha sent the bhikkhu Udāyi back to the beginning on account of the one interim offence of intentional emission of semen, unconcealed. Having completed probation, he asks the Saṅgha for mānatta of six nights on account of the three offences. If the Saṅgha is ready, the Saṅgha should grant the bhikkhu Udāyi mānatta of six nights on account of the three offences. This is the motion (ñatti).

Whichever venerable one approves of the granting to the bhikkhu Udāyi of mānatta of six nights on account of the three offences should remain silent; whoever does not approve should speak.
"For the second time I speak on this matter …
"For the third time I speak on this matter …
"Mānatta of six nights on account of the three offences 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."
