though the Mânatta and the rehabilitation are by a lawful proceeding.]
2. 'And in case, O Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu is guilty of a number of Samghâdisesa
offences--definite, and not definite--of one designation, and of various
designations--similar to each other, and dissimilar--connected with each other,

those offences. The Samgha imposes upon him an additional probation on account
of those offences. He undergoing that probation is guilty meanwhile of a number
of Samghâdisesa offences, definite ones, which he does conceal. He asks the
Samgha to throw him back on account
p. 438
of those intervening offences to the commencement of his term of probation. The
Samgha [does so] by an unlawful proceeding that is liable to be quashed, and
unfit for the occasion; and it also imposes an inclusive probation upon him, but
by an unlawful proceeding. He thinking, "I am undergoing that probation," is
guilty meanwhile of a number of Samghâdisesa offences, definite ones, which he
does conceal. When he has arrived at this condition he calls to mind the other
offences committed while the first offences were being committed, and he calls
to mind also the other offences committed while the latter offences were being
committed.
Then it occurs to him, "I have been guilty of a number of Samghâdisesa offences
(&c., as in the whole of the section from the beginning to the end of the last
paragraph, down to) and I called to mind also the. other offences committed
while the latter offences were being committed. Let me now ask the Samgha to
throw me back on account of those offences committed while the former offences,
and while the latter offences, were being committed, to the commencement of my
term of probation, by a lawful proceeding that cannot be quashed, and is fit for
the occasion; and let me ask for an inclusive probation to be imposed by a
lawful proceeding, and for a Mânatta to be imposed by a lawful proceeding, and
then for rehabilitation by a lawful proceeding."
'And he asks the Samgha [accordingly], and the Samgha [does so]. That Bhikkhu, O
Bhikkhus, is purified from those offences.'
[The same if some of the offences in each case have been concealed and some not
concealed.]
p. 439
3, 4. [The Bhikkhu is not purified from such intervening and remembered offences
as are specified in the last section, if the Samgha has proceeded, as in the
first section of this chapter, by an unlawful proceeding.]

offences; but he was not aware of the degree of the offences 2, and was not
aware of the duration of the times 2; or he did not recollect the degree of the
offences, and did not recollect the duration of the times; or he was uncertain

1. Now at that time a certain Bhikkhu, whilst he was under probation, threw off
the robes. After-wards he came back again, and asked the Bhikkhus for
upasampadâ. They told this thing to the Blessed One.
'In case, O Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu throws off the robes whilst he is under
probation, there can follow no probation to him, O Bhikkhus, so long as he is
out of the Order. If he afterwards receive the upasampadâ, the original
probation (previously imposed upon him, still remains obligatory) upon him. A
probation once imposed, is imposed for good; a probation once undergone, is
undergone for good; if any (portion of the time) remain over, the probation must
be again undergone (from the beginning).

Sâmanera. There can happen no probation to him, O Bhikkhus, so long as he is a
Sâmanera. If he afterwards receives the upasampadâ (&c., as in the last
