僧羯磨 2.34

2.34

"May the venerable saṃgha listen! This bhikṣu so-and-so committed a certain saṃghāvaśeṣa offense and concealed it for [so many] days. This bhikṣu so-and-so committed a certain saṃghāvaśeṣa offense, concealed it accordingly for [so many] days, and now requests from the saṃgha the karman of concealment; the saṃgha grants to bhikṣu so-and-so the karman corresponding to [so many] days of concealment. Whichever venerable ones approve that the saṃgha grants to bhikṣu so-and-so the karman corresponding to [so many] days of concealment, remain silent; whoever does not approve, speak." (Spoken three times.) "The saṃgha has approved granting to bhikṣu so-and-so the karman corresponding to [so many] days of concealment. The saṃgha approves, therefore it is silent; so is this matter held."
