Chapter-14 : Monk Udayi Again Commits First Sanghadisesa Offence(of Masturbation)-Hides for 5 days - Probation restarted.

1. While he was undergoing that probation he committed an offence--the first Sanghadisesa(of Masturbation)--which for five days he concealed.

He told, &c. . . . 'I committed, &c. . . . I asked, &c. . . . The Sangha imposed a probation of half a month, &c. . . . While I was undergoing, &c. . . What now shall I do?'

They told, &c.

'Let then the Sangha, O Bhikkhus, for that while (&c., as in the first paragraph) throw Udayi the Bhikkhu back to the beginning of his probationary term, and impose upon him an inclusive probation (to include his new offence together) with the former offence.

'Now thus, O Bhikkhus, [here follow two kammavakas, one for the throwing back, and one for the additional probation, each of them as in Chapter-1.]'
