3.907

In the fifth [section], regarding the ten faults of frequently visiting secular households: The first five refer to potentially violating the five precepts: first, entering a village without informing [another monk]; second, forcing oneself to sit in a home with food; the remaining three are obvious. Among the latter five: the first three are the faults of habitual bodily association; the fourth is the fault of mental contamination and attachment; the fifth is the root karma, which is the fault of breaking precepts. "Leading to death" means pārājika for sexual intercourse; "next to death" means saṃghāvaśeṣa for bodily contact, etc. Next, explaining the five types of people who are not intimate friends: all are because they bring no benefit to oneself. "Superior person" refers to one whose virtue and learning exceed one's own.
