Alternate translations/layout: 'line by line' Pāḷi - English

[217] “Monks, there is the case where a monk, having had a suspension transaction imposed on him for not seeing an offense by the Saṅgha, behaves properly, lowers his hackles, mends his ways. He asks for the rescinding of the suspension transaction for not seeing an offense.

“Now suppose the thought occurs to the monks, ‘Friends, this monk, having had a suspension transaction for not seeing an offense imposed on him by the Saṅgha, has behaved properly, lowered his hackles, mended his ways. He is asking for the rescinding of the suspension transaction for not seeing an offense. Let’s rescind the suspension transaction on him for not seeing an offense.”

“They, a faction, rescind the suspension transaction on him for not seeing an offense, not in accordance with the Dhamma. …

“United … not in accordance with the Dhamma.

“A faction … in accordance with the Dhamma.

“A faction … a semblance of the Dhamma.

“United … a semblance of the Dhamma.

The wheel should be completed.
