3.82

若比丘得好美食蘇酪魚肉若比丘知此美食無病為身索者波逸提　此滿足戒本文有四句。一犯人。二食體。三無緣。四為己結犯罪。辨相者可知。祇云。不得從屠家乳酪家乞。恐招譏過。蠶家乞綿亦同此例　問。律結尼吉者何　答。尼是女弱。求索美食。女人所諱為之義希故。故犯吉。大僧丈夫身報力強。夫乞美食資身數故。是以犯提。律云。不犯者。病人自乞。為病人乞。或自他交乞。不求自得。並皆不犯。

"If a bhikṣu obtains fine, delicious food—ghee, curd, fish, meat—and if the bhikṣu knows it is such delicious food and, being without illness, asks for it for himself, it is a prāyaścittika." This complete precept text has four clauses: first, the offender; second, the nature of the food; third, lack of reason; fourth, asking for oneself, fixing the offense. In analyzing the characteristics, it is obvious. The Mahāsāṃghika Vinaya states: One must not beg from a butcher's house or a dairy house, for fear of inviting censure. Begging for silk floss from a sericulturist's house is also of this type. Question: Why did the Vinaya fix a duṣkṛta for a bhikṣuṇī? Answer: A nun is a weak woman; asking for fine food is something tabooed for women and done rarely, therefore it is a duṣkṛta. A great monk has the physical retributive strength of a man, and begging for delicious food to nourish his body occurs frequently, hence it is a prāyaścittika. The Vinaya states: Regarding non-offenses: a sick person asking for himself; asking for a sick person; or mutually begging for each other; or obtaining it without asking—none of these are offenses.
