39. Kabaḷasikkhāpada

The training rule on mouthfuls

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 mahantaṁ kabaḷaṁ karonti …pe…
At that time the monks from the group of six were making large mouthfuls. …

“Nātimahantaṁ kabaḷaṁ karissāmīti sikkhā karaṇīyā”ti.
“‘I will not make mouthfuls that are too large,’ this is how you should train.”

Nātimahanto kabaḷo kātabbo.
One should not make mouthfuls that are too large.

Yo anādariyaṁ paṭicca mahantaṁ kabaḷaṁ karoti, āpatti dukkaṭassa.
If a monk, out of disrespect, makes a large mouthful, 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;

khajjake,
if it is a fresh food;

phalāphale,
if it is any kind of fruit;

uttaribhaṅge,
if it is a non-bean curry;

āpadāsu,
if there is an emergency;

ummattakassa,
if he is insane;

ādikammikassāti.
if he is the first offender.

Navamasikkhāpadaṁ niṭṭhitaṁ.
The ninth training rule is finished.
