At that time the monks from the group of six were swaying and leaning their bodies while walking in inhabited areas. …
“Na kāyappacālakaṁ antaraghare gamissāmīti sikkhā karaṇīyā”ti.
“‘I will not sway my body while walking in inhabited areas,’ this is how you should train.”
Na kāyappacālakaṁ antaraghare gantabbaṁ.
One should not sway one’s body while walking in an inhabited area;
Yo anādariyaṁ paṭicca kāyappacālakaṁ antaraghare gacchati kāyaṁ olambento, āpatti dukkaṭassa.
If a monk, out of disrespect, sways and leans his body while walking in an inhabited area, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.
