learned, competent Bhikkhu proclaim tlie following jnapti (announcement) 
before the Samgha (Chapter). 
‘ Let the Samgha , Reverend Sirs, hear me. This person N. N., de¬ 
sires to receive the upasampadd ordination from the Venerable N. N., 
as his Upddhydya , (preceptor). If the Samgha is ready, let the Samgha 
confer on N. N., the upasampadd ordination. Let any one of the vener¬ 
able brethren who is in favour of the ordination of N. N., be silent, and 
any one who is not in favour of it, speak.’ This announcement should 
be recited thrice. Then let him say :— 
‘ N. JV., has received the Upasampadd ordination from the Samgha 
with N. N. as Upadliydya. The Samgha is in favour of it, therefore it is 
silent. Thus I understand.’ ”
