Cullavagga - Third Khandhaka: Chapter 24

1. Now at that time a certain Bhikkhu committed two Samghâdisesa offences which
he concealed for two months. And it occurred to him, Lo! I have committed, etc. .
. . for two months. Let me now ask the Samgha for a probation of one month for
etc. . . .' He asked the Samgha for a probation of one month for etc. . . . The
Samgha imposed upon him a probation of one month for etc. . . . Whilst he was
undergoing that probation, shame (for the way
p. 415
in which he had acted) overcame him. 'Let me now ask the Samgha for a (further)
probation of one month for the two Samghâdisesa offences concealed for two
months.'
2. He told the Bhikkhus [all that had happened, in the words of § 1, and asked
them], 'What now shall I do?'
They told this thing to the Blessed One.,
3. 'Let then the Samgha, O Bhikkhus, impose upon that Bhikkhu a probation for a
further month for those two Samghâdisesa offences concealed for two months.'
[Here follows the kammavâkâ in the form given in chapter 1, §§ 2, 3.]
'Thus that Bhikkhu, O Bhikkhus, should undergo probation for two months from
that date 1.'
