僧羯磨 3.19

3.19

Let the saṃgha, bhadantas, listen! This bhikṣu So-and-so is mentally deranged and insane; he sometimes remembers the recitation of the precepts and sometimes does not remember the recitation of the precepts, sometimes comes and sometimes does not come. The saṃgha performs the karman for mental derangement and insanity for the bhikṣu So-and-so, [so that whether] he sometimes remembers or does not remember, sometimes comes or does not come, [the saṃgha] performs the karman and recites the precepts. Whichever āyuṣmats approve the saṃgha's performing the karman for mental derangement and insanity for the bhikṣu So-and-so, [so that whether] he sometimes remembers or does not remember, sometimes comes or does not come, [the saṃgha] performs the karman and recites the precepts, let them remain silent; whoever does not approve, let him speak. The saṃgha has approved performing the karman for the bhikṣu So-and-so for mental derangement and insanity, [whether] he sometimes remembers or does not remember, sometimes comes or does not come. Because the saṃgha approves, it is silent; so is this matter maintained.
