Second, the timely offering received by the saṃgha. This means that when the donor gives, it covers all persons who completed the retreat in one monastic district; every monk receives it, hence it is called "received by the saṃgha." At the time of the procedure, a saṃgha karman is required. The Vinaya states: If summer robes are obtained but one departs before they are divided, and later when dividing the summer robes they forget to reserve a share for the departed one, the Buddha said that the share is still valid. It also says: If a single monk in a retreat receives a large amount of the saṃgha's summer robes, he should accept them with mental determination and spoken words. If it is not divided during the proper time, but runs over into the sixteenth day of the eighth month and is divided at an improper time, then one performs the procedure for an untimely offering received by the saṃgha; if an earlier retreatant moves elsewhere, he does not get a share of the robes; the Buddha punished the remaining residents by having them distribute it universally again. The Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya states: In the case of retreat-time robes, if a śrāmaṇera keeps the precepts and can perform purification and agrees with the monks, give it to him according to discretion. The Pañcavargika-vinaya states: If difficult circumstances disrupt the retreat, one may receive the retreat-robe offering, taking it at the place where one dwelt the most days.
