2.54

"May the venerable saṃgha listen! I, bhikṣu so-and-so, committed a certain saṃghāvaśeṣa offence and concealed it for [such-and-such a number of] days. Having committed a certain saṃghāvaśeṣa offence and concealed it for [such-and-such a number of] days, I, bhikṣu so-and-so, have already requested from the saṃgha the karman for concealment; the saṃgha has already granted to me, bhikṣu so-and-so, the karman for concealment corresponding to [such-and-such a number of] days. Having completed the practice of concealment, I, bhikṣu so-and-so, have already requested from the saṃgha the six nights' mānatva; the saṃgha has already granted to me, bhikṣu so-and-so, the six nights' mānatva. I am now performing the mānatva practice. May the saṃgha keep this in mind." (Spoken three times. The Buddha allowed a bhikṣu performing mānatva to also carry out the thirty-five duties mentioned above, each one just as in the previous procedure for performing concealment. The remaining announcements are to be understood by analogy, with the particulars fully recorded according to the case.)
