Cullavagga, Khandaka 3, Chapter 4

1. When he had passed through the probation he told the Bhikkhus, saying, 'I committed, friends, an offence—the first Saṃghādisesa—which for one day I concealed. I asked the Saṃgha to impose upon me a probation of one day for the offence . . . . concealed. The Saṃgha imposed . . . . concealed. I have passed through that probation. What now should I do?'

They told this thing to the Blessed One.

'Let then the Saṃgha impose upon Udāyi the Bhikkhu a Mānatta of six days' duration.'

2, 3. [Here follows the kammavācā as in chapter 1, §§ 2, 3, to the end.]
