[583] Bhikkhus, again, here a bhikkhu commits several saṅghādisesa offences (āpatti) — measurable and immeasurable … distinct and mixed. He asks the Saṅgha for a combined probation (samodhānaparivāsa) for those offences. The Saṅgha grants him a combined probation for those offences. While observing probation (parivāsa), he commits in the interval several saṅghādisesa offences — measurable and immeasurable, concealed and unconcealed. He asks the Saṅgha for a sending back to the beginning (mūlāya paṭikassana) on account of the intervening offences. The Saṅgha sends him back to the beginning on account of the intervening offences by a formal act (kamma) that is not in accordance with the Dhamma, reversible, and unfit to stand, and grants a combined probation not in accordance with the Dhamma. He, supposing "I am observing probation," commits in the interval several saṅghādisesa offences — measurable and immeasurable, concealed and unconcealed. Standing on that stage, he remembers the offences intervening among the earlier offences, and he remembers the offences intervening among the later offences.
It occurs to him: "I have committed several saṅghādisesa offences — measurable and immeasurable, of the same name and of different names, of the same class and of different classes, distinct and mixed. I asked the Saṅgha for a combined probation for those offences; the Saṅgha granted me a combined probation for those offences. While observing probation, I committed in the interval several saṅghādisesa offences — measurable and immeasurable, concealed and unconcealed. I asked the Saṅgha for a sending back to the beginning on account of the intervening offences; the Saṅgha sent me back to the beginning on account of the intervening offences by a formal act not in accordance with the Dhamma, reversible, and unfit to stand, and granted a combined probation not in accordance with the Dhamma. Supposing 'I am observing probation,' I committed in the interval several saṅghādisesa offences — measurable and immeasurable, concealed and unconcealed. Standing on that stage, I remember the offences intervening among the earlier offences, and I remember the offences intervening among the later offences. What if I were to ask the Saṅgha for a sending back to the beginning on account of both the offences intervening among the earlier offences and the offences intervening among the later offences, by a formal act in accordance with the Dhamma, irreversible, and fit to stand; for a combined probation in accordance with the Dhamma; for mānatta in accordance with the Dhamma; and for rehabilitation (abbhāna) in accordance with the Dhamma."
He asks the Saṅgha for a sending back to the beginning on account of both the offences intervening among the earlier offences and the offences intervening among the later offences, by a formal act in accordance with the Dhamma, irreversible, and fit to stand; for a combined probation in accordance with the Dhamma; for mānatta in accordance with the Dhamma; and for rehabilitation in accordance with the Dhamma. The Saṅgha sends him back to the beginning on account of both the offences intervening among the earlier offences and the offences intervening among the later offences, by a formal act in accordance with the Dhamma, irreversible, and fit to stand; grants a combined probation in accordance with the Dhamma; grants mānatta in accordance with the Dhamma; and rehabilitates him in accordance with the Dhamma. That bhikkhu, bhikkhus, is purified of those offences.
