The group of six monks said to those lay followers: "Friends, this venerable Upananda the Sakyan son is esteemed by you, a family intimate; with the very hand with which he eats the faithful offering, with that very hand he approached and released impurity. He, having committed an offense of intentional emission of semen, asked the Saṅgha for probation for that offense. The Saṅgha gave him probation for that offense.
