45. Kabaḷāvacchedakasikkhāpada

The training rule on breaking up 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 kabaḷāvacchedakaṁ bhuñjanti …pe….
At that time the monks from the group of six ate breaking up mouthfuls. …

“Na kabaḷāvacchedakaṁ bhuñjissāmīti sikkhā karaṇīyā”ti.
“‘I will not eat breaking up mouthfuls,’ this is how you should train.”

Na kabaḷāvacchedakaṁ bhuñjitabbaṁ.
One should not eat breaking up mouthfuls.

Yo anādariyaṁ paṭicca kabaḷāvacchedakaṁ bhuñjati, āpatti dukkaṭassa.
If a monk, out of disrespect, eats breaking up mouthfuls, 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.

Pañcamasikkhāpadaṁ niṭṭhitaṁ.
The fifth training rule is finished.
