四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 1.331

1.331

四明解法。律云：應來僧中，偏露右肩，脫革屣，禮僧足，右膝著地，合掌乞言：「大德僧聽！我比丘某甲，僧為作訶責羯磨；我今隨順眾僧，無有違逆，從僧乞解訶責羯磨。願僧為我解訶責羯磨，慈愍故！」三乞已（彼二比丘亦爾）。上座如上欲和，解言：「大德僧聽！比丘某甲、某甲，僧為作訶責羯磨；彼比丘隨順眾僧，無所違逆，今從僧乞解訶責羯磨。若僧時到僧忍聽：解某甲、某甲二比丘訶責羯磨。白如是。」「大德僧聽！此某甲、某甲比丘，僧為作訶責羯磨；彼二比丘，隨順眾僧，無所違逆，今從僧乞解訶責羯磨。誰諸長老忍僧為某甲、某甲解訶責羯磨者，默然；誰不忍者，說」（三說已）。「僧已忍，與某甲、某甲解訶責羯磨竟。僧忍，默然故。是事如是持。」其行法中，威儀坐處，未明所在；準僧殘中，下行坐也。若有一人三人，隨名牒用；不得至四，如上已明，至時量之。

Fourth, explaining the revocation procedure. The Vinaya states: He should come before the saṃgha, bare his right shoulder, remove his leather sandals, pay homage at the feet of the saṃgha, place his right knee on the ground, join his palms, and supplicate, saying: 'Venerable saṃgha, listen! I, the bhikṣu so-and-so, have had a reprimand karman performed against me by the saṃgha. I now comply with the saṃgha without any disobedience, and request the revocation of the reprimand karman from the saṃgha. May the saṃgha revoke the reprimand karman for me out of compassion!' Having supplicated three times (the two bhikṣus do likewise). The senior monk, having solicited consensus as above, revokes it, saying: 'Venerable saṃgha, listen! Against the bhikṣus so-and-so and so-and-so, the saṃgha performed a reprimand karman. Those bhikṣus have complied with the saṃgha without any disobedience, and now request from the saṃgha the revocation of the reprimand karman. If the time has arrived for the saṃgha, and the saṃgha approves: let it revoke the reprimand karman for the two bhikṣus so-and-so and so-and-so. This is the motion.' 'Venerable saṃgha, listen! Against these bhikṣus so-and-so and so-and-so, the saṃgha performed a reprimand karman. Those two bhikṣus have complied with the saṃgha without any disobedience, and now request from the saṃgha the revocation of the reprimand karman. Whichever elders approve that the saṃgha revoke the reprimand karman for so-and-so and so-and-so, let them remain silent; whoever does not approve, let him speak.' (Said three times). 'The saṃgha has approved, having concluded the revocation of the reprimand karman for so-and-so and so-and-so. Because the saṃgha approves and is silent, thus is this matter maintained.' In the procedure of execution, the decorum regarding his seating place is not clarified; following the rule for saṃghāvaśeṣa, he sits at the lowest seat. If there is one person or three persons, adjust the proclamation of their names accordingly; it may not reach four, as explained above, and should be evaluated at the time.
