2. 'Two Bhikkhus have been guilty of a Sanghadisesa offence, and as touching that Sanghadisesa offence they are of opinion that it is a Sanghadisesa. One of them thinks: "I will tell (the Sangha of it)." The other thinks: "I will not tell (the Sangha of it);" and during the first watch of the night he conceals it, and during the second watch of the night he conceals it, and during the third watch of the night he conceals it. After the sun has arisen the offence is a concealed one. He who has concealed it [&c.; the penalty is the same as in section 1, paragraph 1].
Two Bhikkhus have been guilty of a Sanghadisesa offence, and as touching that Sanghadisesa offence they are of opinion that it is a Sanghadisesa offence. They set out, intending to tell (the Sangha of it). On the way there springs up in one of them a desire to conceal it; and during the first watch of the night he conceals it, and during the second watch of the night he conceals it, and during the third watch of the night he conceals it. After the sun has arisen the offence is a concealed one. He who has concealed it [&c.; the penalty is the same as before].
'Two Bhikkhus have been guilty of a Sanghadisesa offence, and as touching that Sanghadisesa offence they are of opinion that it is a Sanghadisesa offence. They go out of their mind; and afterwards when they have recovered their senses one of them conceals, the other does not conceal it. He who has concealed it [&c.; the penalty is the same as before].
'Two Bhikkhus have been guilty of a Sanghadisesa offence. When the Patimokkha is being recited they say thus: "Now do we come to perceive it; for this rule they say has been handed down in the Suttas, is contained in the Suttas, and comes into recitation every half month." As touching that Sanghadisesa offence, they (thus) come to be of
opinion that it is a Sanghadisesa offence. One of them conceals, the other does not conceal it. He who has concealed it [&c.; the penalty is the same as before].'
