2. Dutiyaparimaṇḍalasikkhāpada

Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. Tena kho pana samayena chabbaggiyā bhikkhū puratopi pacchatopi olambentā pārupanti …pe….

Not wearing the upper robe evenly all around Origin story

At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery. At that time the monks from the group of six wore their upper robes hanging down in front and behind. …

“Parimaṇḍalaṁ pārupissāmīti sikkhā karaṇīyā”ti.

Final ruling

“‘I will wear my upper robe evenly all around,’ this is how you should train.”

Parimaṇḍalaṁ pārupitabbaṁ ubho kaṇṇe samaṁ katvā. Yo anādariyaṁ paṭicca purato vā pacchato vā olambento pārupati, āpatti dukkaṭassa.

One should wear one’s upper robe evenly all around, making both corners even. If a monk, out of disrespect, wears his upper robe hanging down in front or behind, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.
