[141] The Saṅgha should be informed by a competent and capable bhikkhu:
"Venerable sirs, let the Saṅgha hear me. This bhikkhu named so-and-so is sick; without a sling (sikkā) he is not able to carry his bowl about. He requests from the Saṅgha the authorization for a sling (sikkāsammuti). If the Saṅgha is ready, the Saṅgha should give the authorization for a sling to the bhikkhu named so-and-so. This is the motion (ñatti).
"Venerable sirs, let the Saṅgha hear me. This bhikkhu named so-and-so is sick; without a sling he is not able to carry his bowl about. He requests from the Saṅgha the authorization for a sling. The Saṅgha gives the authorization for a sling to the bhikkhu named so-and-so. Whichever venerable one approves of the giving of the authorization for a sling to the bhikkhu named so-and-so should remain silent; whoever does not approve should speak.
"The authorization for a sling has been given by the Saṅgha to the bhikkhu named so-and-so. The Saṅgha approves; therefore it is silent. Thus do I hold it."
