Fourth, directly speaking the words of relinquishment. Before he may speak, the senior monk in the saṃgha should inform the monks who have not come to convey their chanda, and once purity and harmony are attained, only then may he relinquish. For the Vinaya states: 'This niḥsargika-pāyattika robe should be relinquished to the saṃgha, or to a group of persons, or to one person; it must not be relinquished to a separate saṃgha; if relinquished [to a separate saṃgha], it is invalid, and one incurs an offense.' The textual characteristics are like this, yet when facing the event people often forget. Then he relinquishes, saying: 'Let the venerable saṃgha listen! I, monk so-and-so, intentionally kept many (if few, state the number) extra robes (or property), and exceeding the limit without pure gift, I incurred a niḥsargika-pāyattika; intentionally separated from my saṅghāṭī, I incurred a niḥsargika-pāyattika (the remaining two robes follow the lower procedure and are not explained further); purchased robes and articles (such and such an amount, or many), I incurred a niḥsargika-pāyattika (others are spoken according to the circumstance). Now I bring these robes and articles and relinquish them to the saṃgha.' Spoken once.
