“The monk Udāyī should approach the Sangha, arrange his upper robe over one shoulder, pay respect at the feet of the senior monks, squat on his heels, raise his joined palms, and say:

‘Venerables, I’ve committed one unconcealed offense of intentional emission of semen. I ask the Sangha for the trial period of six days for that offense. I’ve committed one unconcealed offense of intentional emission of semen. For the second time, I ask the Sangha for the trial period of six days for that offense. I’ve committed one unconcealed offense of intentional emission of semen. For the third time, I ask the Sangha for the trial period of six days for that offense.’

A competent and capable monk should then inform the Sangha: ‘Please, venerables, I ask the Sangha to listen. The monk Udāyī has committed one unconcealed offense of intentional emission of semen. He is asking the Sangha for the trial period of six days for one unconcealed offense of intentional emission of semen. If the Sangha is ready, it should give the monk Udāyī the trial period of six days for one unconcealed offense of intentional emission of semen. This is the motion.
