1. Now at that time a certain Bhikkhu had committed numerous Sa"m"ghdisesa 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 Sa"m"gha, O Bhikkhus, impose upon that Bhikkhu an inclusive probation according to one of those offences which has been concealed for ten days 1.'
'Now thus, O Bhikkhus, ought it to be imposed.'
