[713] When the person is one fully ordained (upasampanna) and he perceives him as fully ordained, if he stands eavesdropping (upassutiṃ tiṭṭhati), there is an offense entailing expiation (pācittiya). When the person is fully ordained and he is in doubt, if he stands eavesdropping, there is an offense entailing expiation. When the person is fully ordained and he perceives him as not fully ordained, if he stands eavesdropping, there is an offense entailing expiation. If he stands eavesdropping on one not fully ordained (anupasampanna), there is an offense of wrong-doing (dukkaṭa). When the person is not fully ordained and he perceives him as fully ordained, there is an offense of wrong-doing. When the person is not fully ordained and he is in doubt, there is an offense of wrong-doing. When the person is not fully ordained and he perceives him as not fully ordained, there is an offense of wrong-doing.
