Vinaya Piṭaka - Monastic Rules

Bhikkhu Vibhaṅga - Sekhiya 10: Not to lift the robes when going to inhabited areas.

Origin story

1At 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 were lifting their robes while sitting in inhabited areas. …

Final ruling

2“‘I will not lift my robe while sitting in inhabited areas,’ this is how you should train.”

3One should not lift one’s robe while sitting in an inhabited area. If a monk, out of disrespect, lifts his robe on one or both sides while sitting in an inhabited area, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.

Non-offenses

4There is no offense: if it is unintentional; if he is not mindful; if he does not know; if he is sick; if he has entered his dwelling; if there is an emergency; if he is insane; if he is the first offender.

5The tenth training rule is finished.
The first sub-chapter on evenly all around is finished.
