The rules in this category are known in Pali as <i lang='pi' translate='no'>nissaggiya pācittiya</i>, “entailing relinquishment and confession”. There are thirty such rules for the monks, the same number as for the nuns, although only eighteen are held in common. These rules, together with the remaining rules of the Monastic Code, are classed as light offenses, <i lang='pi' translate='no'>lahukāpatti</i>. For light offenses there is usually no penalty apart from confession. For the <i lang='pi' translate='no'>nissaggiya pācittiyas</i>, however, any item involved in the committing of an offense must be relinquished. Once the offense has been confessed, the item is, with a few exceptions, returned to the offender.
