".. " To attain this condition, the culprit first of all takes care not to commit the fault again. He obseryes the rule very strictly. The other sädhus - it is added '- äre so terrified that they take good care not io commit the same crimc (Bh 2, 234) When he presents himself for rchabilitation, he does not take a bath.

He goes to the assembly, presents himself to the superior and says : "My Lord, I wish to hear the Law". The tcacher recites it.

aváre jugala-mettam parisā-majjhe dhammam sunejja taito kahana dikkhā (Vau Bh 2,233).
Bh s point out the four cases, in which the penitent is dispensed from presenting himself as a faithful layman.
First case : out of respect for the king and consideration for the
services rendered by the person concerned. Allusion is probably made to - 209 historical events (Bh 2, 243-254). The sovereign was hostile to the monks.
Duiy authorised by his teacher, the penitent succeeds in having himself introduced, thanks to his resourcefulness. He puts his case, taking advantage of the opportunity to allow the splendor of the Doctrine to shine forth and to convert the king. The latter takes an interest in this "sham ascetic” (samyata-rūpin, supra) and acquits the samgha. The other, far from becoming proud, begs the king to address himself directly to the samglia and to pay his respects to it. Whether the prince does this or not, the community is well satisficd, pardons the penitent and re-ordaids him on the spot.
Second case : rchabilitation of an acārya who is the victim of an intriguc in his own company (Bh 2; 255). Dismissed from it. he takes rëfuge in another gaña, where hc' makes koonn the true' facts of the situation. While his cncmies claim that he sbould do all that is necessary to become an ordinary member of the faithful”, his other subjects – who have moi ben deceived - invcnt a strategem, Icavc the territory of the coinpany, join him ócsiring that the dark designs of the wicked should fail". The
narja is icinsia:cd without the formality of the "faithful layman". 1. T understands : apare dikzinelyők (IV 52 b 12); thus it considers this last tradition
"10'sthern".
