5.89

述曰。一切僧食並須平等。無問凡聖上下均普。故僧祇律云。若檀越須食多與上座者。上座應問。一切僧盡得爾許不。答止上座得耳。應言一切平等與。若言盡得者。應受。僧上座法。不得隨下便食。待行遍唱等供已。然後得食。上座之法。當徐徐食。不得速食竟在前出去。應待行水。隨順呪願已。然後乃出。

The commentary states: All Saṃgha food must be equal, distributed evenly and universally without distinguishing between ordinary and noble, higher or lower. Therefore, the Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya states: "If a dānapati provides food and offers more to the senior seat, the senior seat should ask, 'Does the entire Saṃgha receive this much?' If the reply is, 'Only the senior seat receives it,' he should say, 'Give equally to all.' If the reply is, 'All receive it,' he should accept it. According to the rule for the senior seat of the Saṃgha, he must not eat as soon as food is served to him; he must wait until the circulation is completed and equal offerings are announced before he may eat. According to the rule for the senior seat, he should eat slowly and must not finish quickly and leave ahead of others; he should wait for the distribution of water, recite the benediction accordingly, and only then depart."
