宗四分比丘隨門要略行儀 1.31

1.31

Method of āvīkaraṇa for doubtful offenses (the meaning applies generally to the five categories of offenses): The Vinaya states that when one has doubts regarding having committed an offense and is pressed to recite, the Buddha said that having revealed it, one is permitted to hear the precepts. (In accordance with the principle, the procedure says:) "Bhadanta, preserve mindfulness. I, the bhikṣu named so-and-so, have generated doubt regarding such-and-such an offense. Now before the Bhadanta I reveal it. Later, when I am free of doubt, I will deśanā it in accordance with the Dharma." (Spoken three times.) The other should say: "It is well." Method for making the procedure of leftover food after eating to satisfaction (One should take the food and, facing a bhikṣu who has not eaten to satisfaction, speak thus:) "Bhadanta, I have eaten to satisfaction. May the Bhadanta know this and see this: I perform the procedure of leftover food." (The other should immediately take a small portion of food, and say: "I have finished eating; you may take and eat it.")
