41.44

Also, the Brahmajāla Sūtra says: 'If a dānapati comes to invite the assembly of monks, visiting monks are entitled to a share of the offerings. The master of the monastic quarters should dispatch the visiting monks in sequence to accept the invitation; yet if the resident monks alone accept the invitation without dispatching the visiting monks, the master of the quarters incurs immeasurable sin, being no different from an animal, neither a śramaṇa nor of the Śākya clan, committing an infraction of light defilement.'
