[469] And thus, bhikkhus, should probation for complete purity (suddhantaparivāsa) be given.¹
¹ In the M. and Yu. editions, the word "ca" does not appear.
Thus should probation (parivāsa) be given. And how, bhikkhus, should probation for complete purity be given? He does not know the limit of the offenses (āpatti); he does not know the limit of the nights; he does not remember the limit of the offenses; he does not remember the limit of the nights; he is doubtful about the limit of the offenses; he is doubtful about the limit of the nights — probation for complete purity should be given.
He knows the limit of the offenses; he does not know the limit of the nights; he remembers the limit of the offenses; he does not remember the limit of the nights; he is free of doubt about the limit of the offenses; he is doubtful about the limit of the nights — probation for complete purity should be given.
