[437] A bhikkhu who goes to the privy (vaccakuṭī) should, while standing outside, clear his throat; one seated inside should also clear his throat. Having laid down his robe on the robe-pole (cīvaravaṃsa) or the robe-line (cīvararajju), he should enter the privy properly and without hurrying. He should not enter too hastily; he should not enter with his robe lifted up; he should lift it up while standing on the privy footrests (vaccapādukā). He should not relieve himself while groaning; he should not relieve himself while chewing tooth-wood; he should not defecate outside the excrement trough; he should not urinate outside the urine trough; he should not spit into the urine trough; he should not wipe himself with a rough stick; he should not drop the wiping-stick into the cesspit; he should cover himself while standing on the privy footrests. He should not come out too hastily; he should not come out with his robe lifted up; he should lift it up while standing on the rinsing footrests (ācamanapādukā); he should not rinse himself making a *chapu-chapu* sound; he should not leave water remaining in the rinsing vessel; he should cover himself while standing on the rinsing footrests. If the privy is fouled, it should be washed. If the receptacle for wiping-sticks is full, the wiping-sticks should be thrown out. If the privy is dirty, the privy should be swept. If the surrounding plinth is dirty, the surrounding plinth should be swept. If the surrounding area (pariveṇa) is dirty, the surrounding area should be swept. If the porch is dirty, the porch should be swept. If there is no water in the rinsing pot, water should be poured into the rinsing pot.
Bhikkhus, this is the privy duty (vaccakuṭīvatta) of bhikkhus, according to which bhikkhus should conduct themselves properly with regard to the privy.
