[114] Bhikkhus, it should be overturned in this way. A competent (byatta), capable bhikkhu should inform the Saṅgha:
"Venerable sirs, let the Saṅgha listen to me. Vaḍḍha the Licchavi charges the Venerable Dabba Mallaputta with a groundless failure in virtue (sīlavipatti). If it is the right time for the Saṅgha, let the Saṅgha overturn the bowl (pattaṃ nikkujjati) against Vaḍḍha the Licchavi, making him one deprived of dealings (asambhoga) with the Saṅgha. This is the motion.
"Venerable sirs, let the Saṅgha listen to me. Vaḍḍha the Licchavi charges the Venerable Dabba Mallaputta with a groundless failure in virtue. The Saṅgha overturns the bowl against Vaḍḍha the Licchavi, making him one deprived of dealings with the Saṅgha. Any venerable to whom the overturning of the bowl against Vaḍḍha the Licchavi, making him one deprived of dealings with the Saṅgha, is agreeable should remain silent; any to whom it is not agreeable should speak.
"The bowl has been overturned by the Saṅgha against Vaḍḍha the Licchavi, making him one deprived of dealings with the Saṅgha. It is agreeable to the Saṅgha; therefore it is silent. Thus do I hold it."
