[491] How is one who has disavowed the training seated in that assembly? Here, bhikkhus, by whatever modes (ākāra), by whatever characteristics (liṅga), by whatever signs (nimitta) the training (sikkhā) has been disavowed by a bhikkhu — by those modes, by those characteristics, by those signs a bhikkhu sees a bhikkhu disavowing the training. Or a bhikkhu does not himself see a bhikkhu disavowing the training, but another bhikkhu informs the bhikkhu: "Friend, the training has been disavowed by the bhikkhu named so-and-so." Or a bhikkhu does not himself see a bhikkhu disavowing the training, nor does another bhikkhu inform the bhikkhu: "Friend, the training has been disavowed by the bhikkhu named so-and-so," but that very bhikkhu himself informs the bhikkhu: "Friend, the training has been disavowed by me." If he wishes, bhikkhus, that bhikkhu — on the grounds of what was thus seen, thus heard, or thus suspected — on that Uposatha day, whether the fourteenth or the fifteenth, when that person is present, may declare in the midst of the Saṅgha: "Venerable sirs, let the Saṅgha listen to me. The training has been disavowed by the person named so-and-so. I suspend the Pātimokkha for him; the Pātimokkha should not be recited while he is present." This is a legitimate suspension of the Pātimokkha.
