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.'
2. He told the Bhikkhus [all that had happened]. They told this thing to the Blessed One.

[Here follows the kammav"k" as before.]
'Then that Bhikkhu, O Bhikkhus, should undergo probation for two months from that date 1.'
