四十美食自為身索犯墮　釋摩男得初道供養。眾僧下種種飲食。六群貪餐得已復索。索諸乳酪種種上味。因制不聽自求美食。去貪味故。以難得故。致嫌責故。又美與不美一不得求。求飯等常食菓菜得與不得犯突。求蘇酪魚肉食美味。不得突。得者犯墮。求酪漿等得不得犯突。若乞食振錫杖彈指。主人問言。比丘何求。答言乞食。問須何等隨汝所欲。答其所須食之無犯。乞應以次。越次突。除病者以苦惱故。自廢廢他行道故。除親理不嫌責故。人自與取亦無罪也。

Forty: Soliciting fine food for oneself commits an offense of pāyattika. Śākyan Mahānāman attained the first stage of the Path and made offerings, serving various kinds of food and drink to the Saṃgha. The group of six were greedy and gluttonous; having received it, they demanded more, soliciting various types of milk, curds, and various superior flavors. For this reason, [the Buddha] instituted the rule forbidding seeking fine food for oneself: to remove craving for tastes, because [such foods] are hard to obtain, and to avoid incurring reproach. Furthermore, whether fine or not fine, in neither case may one seek it. If one seeks ordinary food, fruits, or vegetables such as cooked rice, whether one obtains them or not, one incurs a duṣkṛta. If one seeks delicacies such as ghee, curd, fish, or meat, if one does not obtain them, it is a duṣkṛta; if one obtains them, one commits an offense of pāyattika. If one seeks curd, gruel, and the like, whether one obtains them or not, one incurs a duṣkṛta. If when begging for food one shakes the monk's staff and snaps the fingers, and the host asks: 'What does the monk seek?' and he answers: 'I beg for food,' and [the host] asks: 'Whatever you need, as you wish,' if one answers with what one needs and eats it, there is no offense. Begging must be done in order; skipping the order incurs a duṣkṛta. An exception is made for a sick person, because of their affliction and distress, and because [seeking] for oneself would disrupt one's own and others' practice of the Path; an exception is also made for relatives, since by principle they do not reproach. If someone gives it on their own accord, accepting it is also without offense.
