[405] "And thus, bhikkhus, should he be sent back to the beginning (mūlāya paṭikassanā). Bhikkhus, that bhikkhu Udāyī should approach the Saṅgha, arrange his upper robe over one shoulder, pay homage at the feet of the senior bhikkhus, sit down on his heels, raise his joined palms, and address it thus:
'Venerable sirs, I committed one offence (āpatti) of intentional emission of semen (sañcetanikā sukkavisaṭṭhi), concealed for five days. For that one offence of intentional emission of semen, concealed for five days, I requested from the Saṅgha probation (parivāsa) of five days. The Saṅgha granted me probation of five days for that one offence of intentional emission of semen, concealed for five days. While I was undergoing probation, I committed in the interim one offence of intentional emission of semen, unconcealed. For that one interim offence of intentional emission of semen, unconcealed, I requested from the Saṅgha the sending back to the beginning. The Saṅgha sent me back to the beginning on account of that one interim offence of intentional emission of semen, unconcealed. Having completed the probation and being worthy of mānatta, I committed in the interim one offence of intentional emission of semen, unconcealed. For that one interim offence of intentional emission of semen, unconcealed, I requested from the Saṅgha the sending back to the beginning. The Saṅgha sent me back to the beginning on account of that one interim offence of intentional emission of semen, unconcealed. Having completed the probation, I requested from the Saṅgha mānatta for six nights for the three offences. The Saṅgha granted me mānatta for six nights for the three offences. While I was observing mānatta, I committed in the interim one offence of intentional emission of semen, unconcealed. Venerable sirs, for that one interim offence of intentional emission of semen, unconcealed, I request from the Saṅgha the sending back to the beginning.'
The request should be made a second time; the request should be made a third time.
