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, and disconnected 1. He asks the Samgha for an inclusive probation on account of 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
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.]
Here ends the Third Khandhaka, on the Accumulation of Offences.
