Excerpt from Vinaya Texts, Vol. 3: Translated From the Pâli; The Kullavagga, IV-XII
Literally, 'do you recollect?' But it is quite clear from the technical words at the close of this section that the verb sarati had already acquired the secondary meaning to be conscious of.' The whole story is peculiarly valuable as illustrating the growth of the connotation of the verb and its allied meanings, and indirectly the origin and growth of the idea of conscience which has played so great a part in theological and ethical speculation.
Then said the Blessed One The Dabbas, O Dabba, do not thus repudiate'. If you have done it, say so. If you have not done it, say you have not.'
