Now if any monk, from a bhikkhunī who is not a relative, who has entered a house, having received with his own hand either solid food or soft food from her hand, should eat or consume it, that monk should confess it: "I have committed, friend, a blameworthy deed, unsuitable, to be confessed; I confess it." Second Pāṭidesanīya Training Rule 2. Now if monks, invited to families, are eating, and there that bhikkhunī stands, appearing to be giving directions: "Give curry here, give rice here."
