At that time the monks from the group of six were receiving almsfood contemptuously, as if wanting to throw it away. …
“Sakkaccaṁ piṇḍapātaṁ paṭiggahessāmīti sikkhā karaṇīyā”ti.
“‘I will receive almsfood respectfully,’ this is how you should train.”
Yo anādariyaṁ paṭicca asakkaccaṁ piṇḍapātaṁ paṭiggaṇhāti chaḍḍetukāmo viya, āpatti dukkaṭassa.
If a monk, out of disrespect, receives almsfood contemptuously, as if wanting to throw it away, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.
