suṇātu me bhante saṅgho yadi saṅghassa pattakallaṁ ahaṁ itthannāmena vinayaṁ puṭṭho vissajjeyyanti.	“‘Venerable sirs, may the Saṅgha listen to me. If the Saṅgha is ready, having been asked by so-and-so about the Vinaya, I would explain.’
evaṁ attanā va attānaṁ sammannitabbaṁ.	“In this way one should authorize oneself.
kathañca parena paro sammannitabbo.	“And how should one (monk) authorize another?
