PāliPali
At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery. At that time the monks from the group of six were eating almsfood with large amounts of bean curry. … there are two kinds of bean curry, to be taken with the hand: mung-bean curry and black-gram curry. Almsfood is to be eaten with the right proportion of bean curry. If a monk, out of disrespect, eats much bean curry, he commits an offense of wrong conduct. if it is unintentional; if he is not mindful; if he does not know; if he is sick; if it is any food apart from bean curry; if it is from relatives; if it is from those who have given an invitation; if it is by means of his own property; if there is an emergency; if he is insane; if he is the first offender. The fourth training rule is finished.
