Next, explaining the granting of the Dharma: having solicited the chanda, inquired about harmony, and received the reply, the officiant states: “May the venerable Saṃgha listen! The bhikṣu so-and-so has committed the three saṃghāvaśeṣa offenses of intentional emission, physical contact, and coarse speech, without recalling the count of each, and concealed them for one night up to one hundred nights. Now he requests from the Saṃgha the karman for one hundred nights of concealment. If the Saṃgha's time has arrived and the Saṃgha approves, let it listen: the Saṃgha grants the bhikṣu so-and-so the karman for one hundred nights of concealment. This is the motion.” “May the venerable Saṃgha listen! The bhikṣu so-and-so has committed the three saṃghāvaśeṣa offenses of intentional emission, physical contact, and coarse speech, without recalling the count of each, and concealed them for one night up to one hundred nights. Now he requests from the Saṃgha the karman for one hundred nights of concealment. The Saṃgha now grants the bhikṣu so-and-so the karman for one hundred nights of concealment. Whichever elders approve of the Saṃgha granting the bhikṣu so-and-so the karman for one hundred nights of concealment, remain silent; whoever does not approve, speak! This is the first karman (the second and third are also like this).” “The Saṃgha has approved and has completed granting the bhikṣu so-and-so the karman for one hundred nights of concealment. The Saṃgha approves because it is silent. Thus is this matter maintained.” (Practitioners should rely on the karman in this manual, and the ritual will be accomplished; if one conforms to the vinaya text and relies on ancient karmans, modifications must be made; they must not be recited mechanically.)
