Two Bhikkhus have been guilty of a Sa"m"ghdisesa offence, and as touching that Sa"m"ghdisesa offence they are of opinion that it is a Sa"m"ghdisesa offence.

'Two Bhikkhus have been guilty of a Sa"m"ghdisesa offence. When the Ptimokkha is being recited they say thus: "Now do we come to perceive it; for this rule they say has been handed down in the Suttas, is contained in the Suttas, and comes into recitation every half month." As touching that Sa"m"ghdisesa offence, they (thus) come to be of
p. 435
opinion that it is a Sa"m"ghdisesa offence. One of them conceals, the other does not conceal it. He who has concealed it [ the penalty is the same as before].'
