宗四分比丘隨門要略行儀 1.28

1.28

Properly explaining the method of deśanā (The text says:) "Bhadanta, be single-minded. I, the bhikṣu named so-and-so, having intentionally kept many extra items of wealth (stating the count of such-and-such amount) past ten days, have committed naiḥsargika-prāyaścittika. These robes have already been forfeited to the Bhadanta (if forfeited to another person, one should say 'already forfeited to another person'). Among these, there is an unremembered number of fundamental prāyaścittika offenses (if the few [offenses] are known in meaning, one should state them accordingly; as with the three robes, always state the number, not saying 'many'; or if after a long period of time they were worn, used, and completely destroyed, for each one commits a fundamental prāyaścittika offense, also an unremembered number; if the wealth is intact, these words are not needed). Now before the Bhadanta, I reveal and deśanā them, not daring to conceal them. With deśanā there is ease and happiness; without deśanā there is no ease and happiness. Remembering the offenses, I reveal them; knowing them, I dare not conceal them. May the Bhadanta remember my pure body of precepts and my endowment with a pure poṣadha." (Spoken three times thus.)
