However, there is no penance prescribed as repentance for such a situation. Hence, the person has to be given diksha again to enable him to rejoin the group. This Sūtra describes the procedure of re-initiation or acceptance of the monk back in the group. The author has highlighted three major reasons to why a monk gives up the restraint life, 1. He is unable to withstand the difficulties or adversities. 2. Circumstantial discomfort due to friction between monks. 3. Due to manifestation of karmas bound, he gets attracted to worldly pleasures. 102
