kathañhi nāma te, bhikkhave, moghapurisā sasitthakaṁ pattadhovanaṁ antaraghare chaḍḍessanti.“How can those foolish men do this?
Netaṁ, bhikkhave, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…
pasādāya → pasādāya pasannānaṁ vā bhiyyobhāvāya (sya-all)This will affect people’s confidence …” …
evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—“And, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:
“Na sasitthakaṁ pattadhovanaṁ antaraghare chaḍḍessāmīti sikkhā karaṇīyā”ti.
chaḍḍessāmīti → chaḍḍhessāmīti (bj)‘“I will not discard bowl-washing water containing rice in inhabited areas,” this is how you should train.’”

chaḍḍetabbaṁ → chaḍḍhetabbaṁ (bj)One should not discard bowl-washing water containing rice in an inhabited area.
Yo anādariyaṁ paṭicca sasitthakaṁ pattadhovanaṁ antaraghare chaḍḍeti, āpatti dukkaṭassa.If a monk, out of disrespect, discards bowl-washing water containing rice in an inhabited area, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.
