[838] Origin at Sāvatthī. Now on that occasion the group-of-six bhikkhus (bhikkhu), perceiving faults (ujjhānasaññī), looked at the bowls of others … "I shall not look at the bowl of others perceiving faults"—thus the training is to be undertaken.
The bowl of others should not be looked at by one perceiving faults. Whatever bhikkhu, out of disrespect, perceiving faults, looks at the bowl of others, incurs an offense of wrong-doing (dukkaṭa).
There is no offense: if it is unintentional; if he is unmindful; if he does not know; if he looks thinking "I shall give" or "I shall have it given"; if he is not perceiving faults; in emergencies; if he is mad; if he is the first offender.
