Cullavagga - Third Khandhaka: Chapter 21

1. Now at that time a certain Bhikkhu had committed numerous Samghâdisesa
offences, one of which he had concealed for one day, two for two days, three for
three days, [and so on down to] and ten for ten days.
He told, &c.
They told, &c.
'Let then the Samgha, O Bhikkhus, impose upon that Bhikkhu an inclusive
probation equal in duration to the longest time during which he has concealed
any one or more of those offences 1.'
[Then follows the kammavâkâ as before.]



Footnotes
410:1 Literally, 'according to the value of whichever offences among those
offences have been the longest concealed.'
