Cullavagga - Third Khandhaka: Chapter 32

1. 'And in case, O Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu who has rendered himself liable to the
Mânatta discipline, or is undergoing the Mânatta discipline, or is fit to be
rehabilitated, is guilty meanwhile of a number of Samghâdisesa offences which he
does not conceal; and he then throws off the robes, and again receives the
upasampadâ,--then with regard to the Bhikkhu so liable to the Mânatta
discipline, or undergoing the Mânatta discipline, or fit to be rehabilitated,
the same rules are to apply as in the case of a Bhikkhu so acting while
undergoing probation 1.
'And in case, O Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu who is fit to be rehabilitated 2 is guilty
meanwhile of a number of Samghâdisesa offences which he does not conceal; and he
then becomes a Sâmanera, goes out of his mind, becomes weak in his mind, or
becomes diseased in his sensations; his offences are some of them
p. 431
concealed, some of them not concealed . . . . [and so on, as in chapter 30, down
to the end, excepting that the penalty is here the same as it is in the previous
chapters 31 and 32].'
