* On these disciplines and on rehabilitation, see the following Khandhaka,p. 391 a probationer, should place a Bhikkhu on probation, or throw him back to the beginning of his probationary course, or subject him to the MAnatta discipline—or if a meeting of twenty Bhikkhus, of whom one is a probationer, should rehabilitate a Bhikkhu, that, O Bhikkhus, is an invalid act, and need not be obeyed.’
Here end the ninety-four duties encumbent on a probationer.

1. Now the venerable Up4li went up to the place where the Blessed One was; and on arriving there, he saluted the Blessed One, and took his seat on one side. And when he was so seated the venerable Upali said to the Blessed One: ‘ Now in what case, Lord, can there be an interruption of the probationary period of a Bhikkhu who has been placed on probation? ?’
‘There are three ways of interruption of the probationary period, O Upali, of a Bhikkhu who has been placed on probation; (that is to say), by

‘These are the three ways of interruption to the probationary period, O Upali, of a Bhikkhu who has been placed under probation.’

1. Now at that time, since there was a great company of the Bhikkhus gathered together at SAvatthi, those Bhikkhus who had been placed on probation did not know how to carry out their probation correctly.
They told this thing to the Blessed One.
‘I prescribe to you, O Bhikkhus, to carry out your probation correctly. Now thus, O Bhikkhus, ought you to postpone the probation. The Bhikkhu who has been placed on probation is to go up to a single Bhikkhu, and arranging his robe on one shoulder, and squatting down on his heels, and stretching forth his hands with the palms together, he is to say: “I postpone my probation.” Then the probation is postponed. Or he is to say: “I postpone

2. Now at that time the Bhikkhus who were at SAvatthi went away hither and thither, and the Bhikkhus who had been placed on probation were not able to carry out their probation correctly!
They told this thing to the Blessed One.
‘I prescribe to you, O Bhikkhus, to take upon yourselves again the probation (which had been postponed). Now thus, O Bhikkhus, ought you to take it upon yourselves again. The Bhikkhu who has been placed under probation is to go up toa single Bhikkhu, and arranging his robe on one shoulder, and squatting down on his heels, and stretching forth his hands with the palms together, he is to say: “I take my probation again upon myself.” Then the probation is resumed. Or he is to say: “I take the duties (i.e. of a probationer) upon myself again.” Then also is the probation resumed.’
Here end the duties encumbent on a probationer.

1. Now at that time Bhikkhus, who had rendered themselves liable to be thrown back to the commencement (of their probationary course)?, used to
accept reverence [&c., as before in chapter 1, reading throughout ‘ Bhikkhus liable to be thrown back to the beginning of their probationary course’ for ‘ Bhikkhus who had been placed on probation!;’ and omitting in chapter 2 the announcements referred to there in our note].
5.
[In this chapter the same rules are laid down, word for word, as in the last, reading throughout for ‘Bhikkhus liable to be thrown back to the beginning of their probationary course,’ ‘ Bhikkhus liable to be subjected to the MAnatta discipline®.’]
6.
[In this chapter the same rules for the Manatta, or Penance, are laid down word for word as those in chapter 1, §) 1, 2, 3, and 4, for the probation, reading throughout ‘Bhikkhus who are going through the Ma4natta discipline’ for ‘Bhikkhus who have been placed under probation.’ There are, however, one or two minor points of difference, which are as follows :
1. At the end of the announcements (chapter 1,

' § 2) there is inserted the injunction, ‘He ought to announce the fact every day.’
2. In the passages about going from one residence to another (chapter 1, § 3) read ‘unless with the Samgha’ instead of ‘unless with a regular Bhikkhu.’]'

1. Now the venerable Up4li went up to the place where the Blessed One was; and on arriving there, he saluted the Blessed One, and took his seat on one side. And when he was so seated the venerable Upali said to the Blessed One: ‘ Now in what case, Lord, can there be an interruption of the Manatta discipline? of a Bhikkhu who is undergoing that discipline ?’
‘There are four ways of interruption of the Manatta discipline, O Upali, of a Bhikkhu who is undergoing that discipline ; (that is to say), by dwelling together’, by dwelling alone’, by not announcing’, and by living with less than four other Bhikkhus‘, These are the four ways (&c., as before, down to) undergoing that discipline.’
1 It will be seen, therefore, that there is very little, one might almost say no practical, difference between the Parivasa, which we have rendered ‘probation,’ and the MAnatta, which we have usually left untranslated, and sometimes rendered ‘penance.’ Neither the one nor the other are at present enforced anywhere among the Buddhists.

[This chapter is word for word the same as chapter 1, reading ‘Bhikkhus who have rendered themselves capable of receiving rehabilitation’ for ‘Bhikkhus who have been placed on probation.’]

PROBATION AND PENANCE (CONTINUED).
1.
1. Now at that time the Blessed Buddha was staying at S4vatthi, in the Getavana, Andthapizdika’s Grove. ‘And at that time the venerable Udayi committed an offence, to wit, the first SamghAdisesa offence, and did not conceal it. He told the Bhikkhus, saying, ‘I have committed an offence—the first Samgh4disesa offence—and do not ‘conceal it. What now shall I do?’
They told this thing to the Blessed One.
‘Then, O Bhikkhus, let the Samgha lay the MAnatta penalty on Udayi the Bhikkhu for the space of six days on account of that offence—the first Samghadisesa—which he has not concealed.
What now shall I do?’
They told this thing to the Blessed One.
‘Then, O Bhikkhus, let the Samgha lay the MAnatta penalty on Udayi the Bhikkhu for the space of six days on account of that offence—the first Samghadisesa—which he has not concealed.
2. ‘Now thus, O Bhikkhus, ought it to be laid upon him. Ud4yi the Bhikkhu ought to go up, O Bhikkhus, before the Samgha; and, arranging his robe on one shoulder, he ought to bow down at the feet of the elder Bhikkhus, and squatting down on his heels, and stretching forth his hands with the palms together, he ought to say as follows :
‘“T, venerable Sirs, have committed an offence— the first Samgh4disesa—which I have not concealed. I ask the Samgha (to impose upon me) the M4natta penalty for six days on account of this offence—the
398 KULLAVAGGA, Il, 1, 3.
first Samgh4disesa offence—which I have not concealed.”’
[This speech is repeated three times. ]
3. ‘Some discreet and able Bhikkhu should then lay the matter before the Samgha, as follows:
‘“Let the venerable Samgha hear me. Udayi the Bhikkhu has committed an offence—the first SamghAadisesa offence—which he has not concealed. And he asks the Samgha for the Manatta penalty for six days on account of that offence—the first SamghAdisesa offence—which he has not concealed.
‘“If the time seem meet to the Samgha, let the Samgha impose a MAnatta of six days’ duration on Udayi the Bhikkhu for that one offence—the first SamghAadisesa offence—which he has not concealed.
‘« This is the motion (Zatti).
‘“The Samgha hereby imposes a MAnatta of six days on Udayi the Bhikkhu for that one offence— the first Samgh&disesa offence—which he has not concealed.
‘“ Whosoever of the venerable ones approves of the imposition of a Manatta (&c., as in the last paragraph, down to) not concealed, let him remain silent. Whosoever approves not, let him speak.
‘“A second time I say the same thing (&c., as before in the last two paragraphs). A third time I say the same thing (&c., as before).
‘“The Samgha has imposed a MAnatta of six days’ duration (&c., as before, in the words of the motion, down to) not concealed. The Samgha approves thereof. Therefore is it silent. Thus do I understand.”’

1. When he had done the M4natta he told the Bhikkhus, saying, ‘ Friends, I committed an offence —the first Samghadisesa offence—which I had not concealed. And I asked the Samgha for a MAnatta of six days’ duration for that offence—the first Samghadisesa offence—which I had not concealed. The Samgha imposed upon me a MAnatta (&c., as before, down to) not concealed. Now I have accomplished that M4natta. What now shall I do ?’
They told this thing to the Blessed One.
‘Then, O Bhikkhus, let the Samgha rehabilitate
-Udayi the Bhikkhu.
2. ‘Now thus, O Bhikkhus, ought he to be rehabilitated.
‘Udayi the Bhikkhu ought to go up (&c., as in chapter 1, § 2, down to) he ought to say as follows s
What now shall I do ?’
They told this thing to the Blessed One.
‘Then, O Bhikkhus, let the Samgha rehabilitate

2. ‘Now thus, O Bhikkhus, ought he to be rehabilitated.
‘Udayi the Bhikkhu ought to go up (&c., as in chapter 1, § 2, down to) he ought to say as follows s
‘“T committed, venerable Sirs, an offence—the first Samghadisesa offence—which I did not conceal. I asked the Samgha (to impose upon me) a MAnatta of six days’ duration for that offence—the first Samghadisesa offence—which I had not concealed. The Samgha imposed upon me a MAnatta of .... for... . not concealed. I, having accomplished that Manatta, ask the Samgha for rehabilitation.”
[This speech is repeated three times.]
3. ‘Then some discreet and able Bhikkhu [&c., as before in chapter 1, § 2, the rest of the kammavaa bearing the same relation to the petition as it does there],’

3.
1. Now at that time the venerable Udayi had committed an offence—the first SamghAdisesa— which he had for one day concealed.
He told the Bhikkhus (&c., as before).
They told this thing to the Blessed One.
‘Then, O Bhikkhus, let the Samgha impose a probation of one day on Udayi the Bhikkhu for an offence (&c., as in the first paragraph of this section down to) concealed.
2. ‘Now thus, O Bhikkhus, ought it to be imposed —.’
[Here follows the kammavaé£a precisely as in chapter 1, §f 2 and 3, with the necessary changes in the wording, a. of the offence, b. of the penalty.]

1. When he had passed through the probation he told the Bhikkhus, saying, ‘I committed, friends, an offence—the first Saseghddisesa—which for one day I concealed. I asked the Samgha to impose upon me a probation of one day for the offence... . concealed. The Samgha imposed... . concealed. I have passed through that probation. What now should I do ?’
They told this thing to the Blessed One.

‘Let then the Samgha, O Bhikkhus, for that he when he had (&c., as in the first paragraph) throw Udayi the Bhikkhu back to the commencement of
1 Samodh4na-parivasa. It is clear from the next chapter that this probation did not affect the Manatta to which he was liable for that first offence. The M4natta always lasted six days, and was preceded by a probation equal in length to the time during which the offence had been concealed. If now, during that probation, another offence was committed and concealed, the penalties for this new offence and for the old one were not accumulative but concurrent. The offender lost the advantage of the probation he had already undergone, he was thrown back to the commencement of his term of probation, and had to begin again. But the new term of probation—equal in length to whichever was the longest of the two periods during which he had concealed the two offences— satisfied both the concealments, and the M4natta which still, as it would have done before, followed at the end of the probation, satisfied both the offences. See our note below on chapter 20.

1. Now at that time a certain Bhikkhu had committed numerous Samghddisesa offences, one of which he had concealed for one day, one for two days, one for three days, [and so on down to] and one for ten days.
He told the Bhikkhus, saying, ‘I have committed, (&c., as before, down to) and one for ten days. What now shall I do?’
They told this thing to the Blessed One.
‘Let then the Samgha, O Bhikkhus, impose upon that Bhikkhu an inclusive probation according to one of those offences which has been concealed for ten days?.’
‘Now thus, O Bhikkhus, ought it to be imposed.’
What now shall I do?’
They told this thing to the Blessed One.
‘Let then the Samgha, O Bhikkhus, impose upon that Bhikkhu an inclusive probation according to one of those offences which has been concealed for ten days?.’
‘Now thus, O Bhikkhus, ought it to be imposed.’
1 From this and what follows it is clear that however many are the offences, and however various the periods of concealment, the probation is only to last for the same period as the longest of the concealments has lasted. Thus the Samanta Pas4dik4 says here: agghasamodh4no n4ma sambahulfsu 4patttsu y4 eka va dve va tisso va sambahulé v4 Apattiyo sabbatirapasizéhannayo t&ésam agghena samodhfya tAsam rattiparidésedavasena avasesinam finatarapastkkhannanam &pattinam parivaso diyyati.

1. Now at that time a certain Bhikkhu had committed two Samgh4disesa offences which he had concealed for two months. And it occurred to him, ‘Lo! I have committed two Samgh4disesa offences which I have concealed for two months. Let me now ask the Samgha for a probation of two months for one offence concealed for two months.’ And he asked the Samgha for a probation of two months for

IIT, 23, 1. PROBATION AND PENANCE, 4II
one offence concealed for two months. And the Samgha imposed upon him a probation (&c., as before, down to) for two months. Whilst he was undérgoing that probation, shame overcame him in that he thought, ‘I have committed, &c.... And it occurred to me, &c.... And I asked, &c.... And the Samgha imposed.... And whilst I was undergoing .... (&c., as before, down to) for two months.’
‘Let me now ask the Samgha for a probation of two months for the other offence concealed for two months.’

2. ‘Now in case, O Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu have committed two SamghA4disesa offences, which he has concealed for two months, And he is aware of one offence, but of the other offence he is not aware. And he asks the Samegha for a two months’ probation for that offence of which he is aware, concealed for two months, And the Samgha gives him a probation of two months for an offence concealed for two months. And whilst he is undergoing that probation he becomes aware of the other offence. Then it occurs to him,
‘“Lo! I have committed two Samgh4disesa offences (&c., as in the last paragraph, down to) I became aware of the other offence. Let me now ask the Samgha for a probation of two months for that other offence concealed for two months,”
‘And he asks the Samgha for a probation of two months for that other offence concealed for two months, And the Samgha imposes upon him a probation of &c.... for &c.... That Bhikkhu, O Bhikkhus, ought to continue on probation for two months from that date.

And the Samgha imposes upon him a probation of two months for those two offences concealed for two _months, And whilst he is undergoing that probation there arrives a Bhikkhu who is versed in. the traditions, acquainted with the tradition, a custodian of the Dhamma, of the Vinaya, and of the Matik4s?, clever, discreet, wise, modest, sensitive, willing to learn. And he speaks thus:
‘« What has this Bhikkhu, O friends, been guilty of, and why is he on probation ?”
‘And they reply: “ This Bhikkhu, O friend, has committed two Samghddisesa offences, which he concealed for two months; and one offence he concealed wittingly, and one offence he concealed unwittingly.

‘And he rejoins : “ The offence which he wittingly concealed, O friends, for that the imposition of a probation is valid, and by reason of its validity it takes effect. But the offence which he unwittingly concealed, O friends, for that the imposition of a probation is invalid, and by reason of its invalidity it does not take effect. For this offence, O friends, the Bhikkhu is liable to a MAnatta.”

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 Samghddisesa offences concealed for two months.’

Now in what cases is the probation of complete purification to be imposed ? When he is not aware of the degree of the offences, nor of the duration of the times ; when he does not recollect the degree of the offences, nor the duration of the times ; and when he is not certain as to the degree of the offences, nor as to the duration of the times—then is the probation of complete purification to be imposed.
‘When he is aware of the degree of the offences, but not of the duration of the times; when he does recollect the degree of the offences, but not the duration of the times ; when he is certain as to the degree of the offences, but not as to the duration of the times—then is the probation of complete purification to be imposed.

1. Now at that time a certain Bhikkhu, whilst he was under probation, threw off the robes. Afterwards he came back again, and asked the Bhikkhus for upasampada. 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 upasampada, 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).
‘In case, O Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu, whilst he is undergoing probation, becomes a SAmazera. There can happen no probation to him, O Bhikkhus, so long as he is a Samamera, If he afterwards receives the upasampada (&c., as in the last paragraph, down to the end).
