belonged to a Titthiya school, has put to silence his upa^^^7/aya when he remonstrated with him accord-inir to the Dhamma, and has returned to that same Titthiya school, must not receive the upasampada ordination, if he comes back. On other persons, O Bhikkhus, who have formerly belonged to Titthiya schools and desire to receive the pabba^^a and upasampada ordinations in this doctrine and discipline, you ought to impose a parivasa (a probation-time) of four months.

2. 'And you ought, O Bhikkhus, to impose it in this way: Let him (who desires to receive the ordination) first cut off his hair and beard ; let him put on yellow robes, adjust his upper robe so as to cover one shoulder, salute the feet of the Bhikkhus (with his head), and sit down squatting ; then let him raise his joined hands, and tell him to say: "I take my refuge in the Buddha, I take my refuge in the Dhamma, I take my refuge in the Sawgha. And for the second time, &c. And for the third time take I m)' refuge in the Buddha, and for the third time take I my refuge in the Dhamma, and for the third time take I my refuge in the Sawgha."

3. 'Let that person, O Bhikkhus, who has formerly belonged to a Titthiya school, approach the Sa;;/gha, adjust his upper robe so as to cover one shoulder, salute the feet of the Bhikkhus (with his head), sit down squatting, raise his joined hands, and say: " I, N. N., reverend Sirs, who have formerly belonged to a Titthiya school, desire to receive the upasampada ordination in this doctrine and discipline, and ask the Saw^gha, reverend Sirs, for a parivasa of four months." Let him ask thus a second time. Let him ask thus a third time.
