50. Capucapukārakasikkhāpada 50. The training rule on chomping

Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery.

Tena kho pana samayena chabbaggiyā bhikkhū capucapukārakaṁ bhuñjanti …pe… At that time the monks from the group of six made chomping sounds while eating. …

“Na capucapukārakaṁ bhuñjissāmīti sikkhā karaṇīyā”ti. “‘I will not make a chomping sound while eating,’ this is how you should train.”

Na capucapukārakaṁ bhuñjitabbaṁ. One should not make a chomping sound while eating.

Yo anādariyaṁ paṭicca capucapukārakaṁ bhuñjati, āpatti dukkaṭassa. If a monk, out of disrespect, makes a chomping sound while eating, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.

Anāpatti—There is no offense:

asañcicca …pe… if it is unintentional;

ādikammikassāti. if he is the first offender.

Dasamasikkhāpadaṁ niṭṭhitaṁ. The tenth training rule is finished.
