VI, 17.5.
so cooked of your own accord, and one eat thereof, he is guilty of two dukkata offences.
5. If, O Bhikkhus, food kept out of doors shall have been cooked indoors, and of your own accord, and one eat thereof, he is guilty of two dukkata offences. If, O Bhikkhus, food kept indoors, shall have been cooked out of doors, and by others, and one eat thereof, he is guilty of a dukkata offence. If, O Bhikkhus, food kept out of doors shall have been cooked indoors, and by others, and one eat thereof, he is guilty of a dukkata offence. If, O Bhikkhus, food kept out of doors, shall have been cooked out of doors, and of your own accord, and one shall eat thereof, he is guilty of a dukkata offence. If, O Bhikkhus, food kept out of doors, shall have been cooked out of doors, and by others, and one shall eat thereof, he is not guilty.'
6. Now at that time, the Bhikkhus, thinking, 'Food cooked of one's own accord has been disallowed by the Blessed One,' feared to offend by cooking a second time food (already cooked once).
They told this thing to the Blessed One.
'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to cook food a second time.'
7. Now at that time there was a scarcity of food in Râgagaha. People brought salt, and oil, and rice, and hard food to the Arâma. These the Bhikkhus kept out of doors; and vermin1 ate them, and thieves carried them off.
They told this thing to the Blessed One.
