3.357

The Pañcavargika Vinaya says: If one gives to begging children, begging dogs, or begging birds, one should gauge the amount of food for oneself, take one's portion, and thereafter reduce it to give away; one must not give outside one's portion. The Dharmaguptaka Vinaya says: When eating, if there are humans or non-humans, one should give a morsel. The Vinayamātṛkā says: If one gives to beggars who come to the monastery, those without provisions, infants, prisoners, pregnant women, and the like, giving to them is without fault; bhikṣus should train in this.
