勅修百丈清規 5.87

5.87

When new arrivals come past the proper time due to pressing circumstances, or when hanging up the pack has been halted and cannot be formally reported, then regardless of the place, as soon as they meet the abbot, they cast incense down before him and say: '(Temporary arrivals pay homage to the upādhyāya),' and make one prostration touching the mat. Thereupon they retrieve their incense themselves and await permission to hang up their packs. If the abbot grants permission, the attendant office issues a notice down to the hall office, the ritual being the same as before. If the seat chart has already been fixed, they proceed to the hall office to request that their names be added to the chart; or, if there are many people, they are listed behind those of the same ordination rank.
