The attendant orders the guest prefect postulant to prepare hot tonic utensils, trays, wrapping cloths, an incense burner, and candles. The abbot takes an attendant to the monastery storehouse and various dormitories to urge them to remain. The dormitory hosts report first and welcome the abbot. Entering, they part to take their seats. The attendant burns incense and serves hot tonic. The abbot exerts full courtesy to urge them to stay. If their terms have fully expired, they must also be patient and wait until the abbot is slightly more at leisure before reporting their resignations again. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2025.3.53) - [Next: 3.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2025.3.55) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2025.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2025~en-mt.3.54) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2025.3.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2025.3.54) · Pramāṇa
