The person receiving the precepts, holding the corner of the Saṃghāṭī (translated as 'outer robe') with both hands, should say thus: 'Upadhyaya (translated as 'preceptor'), please remember, I, so-and-so, have made this robe. It is acceptable. I will use this Dharma robe as my Saṃghāṭī. I now uphold it.' Say this three times. The teacher says 'Good.' The response is 'Excellent.' Next, holding the corner of the Uttarāsaṅga (translated as 'inner robe') with both hands, one should say thus: 'Upadhyaya (translated as 'preceptor'), please remember, I, so-and-so, have made this robe.

English version: When holding the Antarvāsa (inner garment), one should say: 'Upādhyāya (preceptor), be mindful. I, so-and-so, this object is for the Antarvāsa. I now uphold it. If there are no obstacles, it will be made into a five-strip Antarvāsa robe, two long and one short. I will dye, wash, spread, cut, mend, baste, and sew it, or patch it as needed, using this robe as appropriate. It is suitable and should be used.' Say this three times. The teacher says 'Good,' and the response is 'Excellent.' This is upholding it. It has not yet been cut. The rules for the three robes are complete. Next, show the Pātra (bowl) to the Sangha (community). Next, one Bhikṣu (monk) holds the bowl in his left hand, with his right hand covering the mouth of the bowl. From the most senior monk, to each monk, bowing, one should say: 'Venerable Sir,' or 'Ayushman (long-lived one), be mindful, that Ayushman so-and-so has this Pātra. Is it not small? Is it not large? Is it not white?' One should ask this. If there are no obstacles, the assembly should all say 'Good.' If they say 'Good,' it is excellent. If they do not say it, they commit an offense. This is the completion of the rules for showing the bowl. Next, the Upādhyāya should bless the Pātra himself. One should do this: together with the person receiving ordination, both rise. The two of them hold the bowl together with their left hands, each covering the mouth of the bowl with their right hand, and teach them to say: 'Upādhyāya, be mindful. I, so-and-so, this Pātra should be used for food. It is a suitable vessel. It is a vessel of the great sage. It is a begging bowl. I now uphold it.' Say this three times. The teacher says 'Good,' and the response is 'Excellent.' This is the completion of the rules for upholding the Pātra. Next, one should give the sitting cloth and water filter. After that, give the Saṃghāṭī (outer robe). Teach them to bow to the Sangha three times. It should be placed in a visible place, away from audible places. Teach him to single-mindedly join his palms and stand reverently facing the assembly. The Karmācārya (teacher of actions) should ask the assembly, who first received the request from that Upādhyāya so-and-so, to teach so-and-so in private. The one who received the request answers: 'I, so-and-so.' Next, the Karmācārya should ask: 'You, Bhikṣu so-and-so, so-and-so as Upādhyāya, are you able to teach so-and-so in private?' He should answer: 'I am able.' Next, the Karmācārya will take the private teacher. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: To inquire about obstacles, a single white Karman (Ekakarman, a Sangha ritual) is performed. After the Karman master is seated, he should say as follows: 'May the venerable Sangha (Sangha, monastic community) pay attention. This Bhiksu (Bhiksu, monk) named so-and-so, with so-and-so as his Upadhyaya (Upadhyaya, preceptor), is able to instruct so-and-so in a secluded place. If the Sangha deems it the right time, please listen. The Sangha should permit this Bhiksu named so-and-so, with so-and-so as his Upadhyaya, to receive instruction in a secluded place.' This is a white (notification). This is a commission (assignment). The procedure for the secluded instructor is complete. Next, the Bhiksu to be instructed in seclusion will be brought to a secluded place. After teaching him to pay respects, he should squat down, join his palms, and say as follows: 'Venerable Sir (Ayushman, term of respect for elders), please listen. This is your time for sincerity and truthfulness. I now have some questions to ask you. You should answer with a fearless mind. If it is so, say it is so; if it is not, say it is not. You must not speak falsely. Are you a man?' Answer: 'Yes.' 'Do you possess male genitalia?' Answer: 'Yes.' 'Are you twenty years of age or older?' Answer: 'Older.' 'Are your three robes and bowl (Tricivara and Patra, monk's robes and alms bowl) complete?' Answer: 'Complete.' 'Are your parents alive?' Answer: 'Alive.' 'Do your living parents permit you to renounce the world?' Answer: 'Permit.' If they say the parents are deceased, there is no need to ask further. 'Are you not a slave? Are you not a stolen person? Are you not here to seek profit and gain? Are you not a person involved in litigation? Are you not a person sold by others? Are you not a person specially selected by the royal family? Are you not a person feared by the royal family? Are you not a person to be poisoned by the royal family? Are you not a person who opposes the royal family yourself, or instigates others to oppose the royal family? Are you not a robber? Are you not a castrated person? Are you not a eunuch? Have you not defiled a Bhiksuni (Bhiksuni, nun)? Are you not a thief-dweller (living by theft)? Are you not living separately (punished by the Sangha to live alone)? Are you not living without association (punished by the Sangha, not allowed to live with the Sangha)? Are you not a Tirthika (Tirthika, non-Buddhist religion) (currently a Tirthika)? Are you not inclined towards Tirthikas (formerly a Tirthika, having previously renounced the world, then returning to Tirthikas, and now renouncing the world again)? Have you not killed your father? Have you not killed your mother? Have you not killed an Arhat (Arhat, enlightened being)? Have you not disrupted the harmonious Sangha (Sangha, monastic community)? Have you not maliciously caused the Buddha (Buddha, enlightened one) to bleed? Are you not a transformation person (a person created by transformation)? Are you not an animal?' You should ask in this way, and they should all answer 'No.' 'Do you not owe others debts, whether large or small?' If they say yes, then you should ask: 'You...' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
