“Is it true, monks, that you did this?”

“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.“It’s true, sir.”

“Foolish men, how could you do this?
Netaṁ, moghapurisā, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…

This will affect people’s confidence …” …
evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—“And, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:

“Yo pana bhikkhu bhikkhuṁ amūlakena saṅghādisesena anuddhaṁseyya, pācittiyan”ti.‘If a monk groundlessly charges a monk with an offense entailing suspension, he commits an offense entailing confession.’”
