one offence concealed for two months. And the Sa"m"gha imposed upon him a probation (&c., as before, down to) for two months. Whilst he was undergoing 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 Sa"m"gha imposed.... And whilst I was undergoing.... (&c., as before, down to) for two months.'

'Let me now ask the Sa"m"gha for a probation of two months for the other offence concealed for two months.'

'Let then the Sa"m"gha, O Bhikkhus, impose upon that Bhikkhu a probation of two months for that other offence concealed for two months.'

[Here follows the kammav"k" as before.]

'Then that Bhikkhu, O Bhikkhus, should undergo probation for two months from that date 1.'
