The precept against partiality in directing the serving of food in a layperson's house. Four conditions establish it: first, a layperson's residence; second, partiality in out-of-order directing and serving; third, the great assembly silently receives it without rebuking; fourth, a transgression is incurred with each swallow. The Pañcavargika-vinaya states: The senior elder should rebuke her; if she does not heed the words, [any monk] down to the newly ordained may also do so. The Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya states: If she does not stop after three rebukes, the eaters commit no offense. The Daśādhyāya-vinaya states: If the saṃgha in two separate areas sit separately and eat separately, it must also be separately asked whether she has already been admonished; if not, they may not eat, and those who sit later are also like this. Under the Vinaya, one does not commit an offense if: one says, 'Elder sister, wait a moment, you must wait until the meal is finished'; if the bhikṣuṇī is herself the dānapati; if the dānapati sets out the food and tells the bhikṣuṇī to arrange it; or if she does not intentionally show partiality toward one or the other.
