The second training rule on covering the head

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 sasīsaṁ pārupitvā antaraghare nisīdanti …pe….
At that time the monks from the group of six were covering their heads with their robes while sitting in inhabited areas. …

“Na oguṇṭhito antaraghare nisīdissāmīti sikkhā karaṇīyā”ti.
“‘I will not cover my head while sitting in inhabited areas;’ this is how you should train.”

Na oguṇṭhitena antaraghare nisīditabbaṁ.
One should not cover one’s head while sitting in an inhabited area.

Yo anādariyaṁ paṭicca sasīsaṁ pārupitvā antaraghare nisīdati, āpatti dukkaṭassa.
If a monk, out of disrespect, covers his head with his upper robe while sitting in an inhabited area, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.

Anāpatti—
There is no offense:

asañcicca,
if it is unintentional;

assatiyā,
if he is not mindful;

ajānantassa,
if he does not know;

gilānassa,
if he is sick;

vāsūpagatassa,
if he has entered his dwelling;

āpadāsu,
if there is an emergency;

ummattakassa,
if he is insane;

ādikammikassāti.
if he is the first offender.

Catutthasikkhāpadaṁ niṭṭhitaṁ.
The fourth training rule is finished.
