四分律行事鈔資持記 2.2174

2.2174

In [repentance] facing a single individual: forfeiting robes should state: "May the Venerable One single-mindedly consider! I, the bhikṣu so-and-so, (intentionally kept surplus property or was separated from my saṅghāṭī, etc.) committing a forfeiture and pāyattika, now forfeit them to the Venerable One." The phrasing for returning the robes does not appear; the Karmavācanā instructs that it follow the procedure for forfeiting robes. It should state: "Elder! I now take these robes and return them to you." In removing the offense, there is no other person to question, so there are only five rites: first, requesting the repentance master; second, stating the marks of the offense; third, actual repentance; fourth, admonishing; fifth, making a vow. All five are without difference, hence one is ordered to follow them scrupulously.
