Comm. KT: “(The student) should not walk too far behind him, nor too close”: Here, if with one or two steps, one could catch up to the preceptor who has turned around and is looking (back/for the student), it should be known that “To this extent one is walking not too far behind him, nor too close. — “(The student) should receive the contents of his bowl.” The meaning is: If the bowl—when the preceptor, going for alms, has received conjey or food—is warm or heavy, (the student) should give him his own bowl and take that bowl.
