僧羯磨 2.146

2.146

大德僧聽！若僧時到，僧忍聽，以此鉢次第問上座。白如是。（作此白已，當持與上座；若上座不取，與彼比丘，彼比丘應取。不應護眾僧故不取；亦不應以此因緣受持最下鉢，若受，突吉羅。若上座取，應與上座，取上座鉢與次座；若次坐取，一如上座。如是展轉，乃至下座爾。）

"Let the saṃgha, bhadantas, listen! If the time has arrived for the saṃgha, let the saṃgha consent: with this bowl, ask the senior monk in sequence. The motion is like this." (Having made this motion, one should take [it] and offer [it] to the senior monk. If the senior monk does not take it, offer it to that [other] bhikṣu; that bhikṣu should take it. He should not refuse to take it out of protecting the saṃgha; nor should he, on this ground, accept and keep the lowest bowl—if he accepts it, [it is a] duṣkṛta. If the senior monk takes it, one should give it to the senior monk, take the senior monk's bowl, and give it to the next monk. If the next monk takes it, [proceed] just as with the senior monk. Thus it is passed along in turn down to the junior monk.)
