This is how the use of synonyms should be understood. The rest of the discussion is similar to Sutra 43. There is a possibility of many faults related to eating due to attachment to food.
There is no atonement for eating food that is mixed with poison, enchanted, or contaminated.
The commentary explains the meaning of both [43-44] Sutras with examples. Remaining eating - invitation atonement
45. If a monk takes delicious food, and it is known that there is too much, and it cannot be eaten, but it will have to be discarded, in such a situation, if there are any other fellow monks, companions, like-minded, or those who have not been expelled from the community, nearby, then he discards it without asking them or inviting them, or he approves of the discarding. (He incurs a minor monthly atonement.)
Discussion- 1. Delicious - Here delicious means sweet and palatable food.
2. Food - All kinds of food.
3. Leftover - Food left over after eating.
4. Nearby - In a nearby monastery or in a monastery in the suburbs.
5. Fellow monks - Those who have the same knowledge and conduct, or - those who have the same non-attachment, the same gender, and the same appearance.
6. Companions - Those who exchange food and water with each other.
7. Like-minded - Those who have the same conduct and have mutual affection and goodwill, or those who have pure conduct - monks who have been expelled from the community.
8. Those who have not been expelled from the community - Those who have not received atonement.
A monk who is skilled in begging, who is knowledgeable about time, and who knows the amount of food for himself and his fellow monks, is allowed to go begging.
Even if the food is delicious, sufficient, and given by a donor, he still eats according to the needs of himself and his fellow monks, and in accordance with a restrained life, he does not eat food, etc., out of greed, attachment, or lack of discernment, even then, if some food is left over after eating, the method of using that food is mentioned in this Sutra.
He should take the leftover food to a nearby monastery where there are fellow monks, companions, or like-minded monks, and tell them that this is our leftover food, please use it. If they do not take it, he should take it to a secluded place and discard it on the ground suitable for discarding.
