[420] 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) — intentional emission of semen (sañcetanikā sukkavisaṭṭhi) — concealed for a fortnight. He requested from the Saṅgha a fortnight's probation (pakkhaparivāsa) for that one offence of intentional emission of semen concealed for a fortnight. The Saṅgha granted the bhikkhu Udāyi a fortnight's probation for that one offence of intentional emission of semen concealed for a fortnight. While undergoing probation, he committed in the interim one offence — intentional emission of semen — concealed for five days. He requests from the Saṅgha the sending back to the beginning (mūlāya paṭikassanā) on account of that one interim offence of intentional emission of semen concealed for five days. If it is opportune for the Saṅgha, the Saṅgha should send the bhikkhu Udāyi back to the beginning on account of that one interim offence of intentional emission of semen concealed for five days. This is the motion (ñatti).

Whichever venerable one approves of the sending of the bhikkhu Udāyi back to the beginning on account of that one interim offence of intentional emission of semen concealed for five days, let him be silent; whoever does not approve, let him speak.
"For the second time also I speak on this matter … For the third time also I speak on this matter …
"The bhikkhu Udāyi has been sent back to the beginning by the Saṅgha on account of that one interim offence of intentional emission of semen concealed for five days. The Saṅgha approves; therefore it is silent. Thus do I hold it."
